Does this provide good hold for medium to shorter fine hair without making it to greasy? Or should I go with another Gatsby, if so, which one?

the green one is just for defining, or how you want it shaped, this one is for like tips, and no gastby period doesn't make your hair greasy just makes it look like a blade of grass or something, but what i use for medium short hair, for anime hair style, shampoo, conditioner, dryer, straightner, green gatsby for shape, purple for spike tips etc, then hairspray, may seem like a lot but looks awesome :), if you already have straight hair then skip those steps, my hair is naturally curly so it doesn't go well, but this is spike hair style, dont put to much or your gonna see white :) only recomm on tips of fingers to create spikes the green one is just for defining, or how you want it shaped, this one is for like tips, and no gastby period doesn't make your hair greasy just makes it look like a blade of grass or something, but what i use for medium short hair, for anime hair style, shampoo, conditioner, dryer, straightner, green gatsby for shape, purple for spike tips etc, then hairspray, may seem like a lot but looks awesome :), if you already have straight hair then skip those steps, my hair is naturally curly so it doesn't go well, but this is spike hair style, dont put to much or your gonna see white :) only... » Read More the green one is just for defining, or how you want it shaped, this one is for like tips, and no gastby period doesn't make your hair greasy just makes it look like a blade of grass or something, but what i use for medium short hair, for anime hair style, shampoo, conditioner, dryer, straightner, green gatsby for shape, purple for spike tips etc, then hairspray, may seem like a lot but looks awesome :), if you already have straight hair then skip those steps, my hair is naturally curly so it doesn't go well, but this is spike hair style, dont put to much or your gonna see white :) only recomm on tips of fingers to create spikes « Show Less

This Gatsby is the best for hold in short hair, but it is also the most greasy of the line. That being said, "greasy" in Gatsby terms is probably way less greasy than most other products. If you are unopposed to a more dry waxy feel, you may want to consider Gatsby Grunge Matte.

The pink (matte) and purple (shinier) are the strongest holds. It never feels greasy but it feels a bit waxy. I wouldn't buy the other because they don't have strong enough holds for short fine hair. The green one would make your hair feel like you had nothing in it (it wouldn't work).

I use that one and it's more of a tighter beachy curls but u can hold it for less than 10 seconds and let go keep doing that add some sea salt spray and shake your head around till you have your beachy hair or you can use the bigger size the 2 inches one and itll probably look more natural. In my opinion they both work great!�

I don't think it's good for fine hair. I have fine hair with a tendency to get oily at the roots and this did not help me at all. It made my hair sticky.

My hair is of medium thickness, and falls to my shoulders, and the waver works great! If your hair is really thick, you could just take smaller sections of hair.

My hair is fine/thin and it feels thicker and fuller since I've been using the shampoo + conditioner. The conditioner goes a long way, so if your hair is shorter I would definitely use a smaller amount so that it doesn't over-condition and make your hair seem oily! :)

No, it is not. I don't find that it holds as well. According to my stylist they don't make Short Sexy Hair anymore. I am very sad, I have short spiky grey hair and every time I find something I like they quit making it or they change the formula. Good luck finding a substitute.

Not knowing how thick your hair is, MY hair is REALLY thick, and REALLY long and I have been LOVING the Remington flatiron! It can handle the thickness AND the length, and the hand grip is nice too. I havent had any issues with sticking or catching.

Since your hair is short, the product will work better...I am guessing, since for longer hair this product will just weigh the hair down because the texture of it is slimey and heaver. I'd recommend another product for hair texture like a shaping cream by the tea tree brand. I use that right now (also have short hair) and it works great...the texture of it isn't liquidy like this product so it doesn't weigh the hair down. Or check out a hair taffy of some sort....You can always try this product yourself and see how it works for you; everyone has there own likes and dislikes. But I recommend a hair product like I mentioned above because the texture isn't this thick liquidy stuff.

It doesn't hold like a hairspray. I mainly use it to tame frizz. If you have fine hair spray lighty on hair away from roots.

It would help a lot....but if you add the It's a 10 mousse too...then you would be in business.I use them both. I have very fine and thinning hair and to fluff it up and to get it to hold the style, I use both after I shampoo my hair and then I blow dry it. Love the look and it will last a couple of days before I need to shampoo again.

Hello. I have short hair, fade style. I use this wax on the top part of my hair to make it stand (diagonally) up. To accomplish this with my very fine hair, I use 1-2 good scoops with my finger depending on the length at the time. A scoop for me is a bigger than a finger nail, but I am honestly not sure what to compare the amount to in order to describe it. But if the amount you're using isn't enough to get the results you want, just use more! Can't hurt. Just play with it until you find your happy medium.

Dorothy I recommend small rollers that grip your fine hair or the smallest barrell hot brush you can find. Hope this helps.

I don't know of conflicting reviews, and there may be other similar products. But, for me, this one is the best for my fine, thinning hair. I use it instead of a mousse or gel and my hair has volume when I dry it. It is not sticky nor does it leave a residue.

Emily I also have super fine hair that I wish was full. This product is not super thick. I don't have to squeeze the tube much for it to come out and it spreads easily in my hands. I don't feel as though it weighs my hair down. I truly get soft curls with no greasy look at all. I also add a tiny dab of Gel after this for control. Still not greasy. And I'm prone to greasy hair...add that to my lovely list of hair problems! ;-)

I have a spray for hair and it works awesome. Never tried the masque. The formula for hair is light-weight so it doesn't make your hair greasy. I only use a few sprays each time.

I've used mine on short hair and long. The smaller brush works great for fast feathering on short hair. Blow dryer attachment is very effective on short hair. If your hair is fine (mine is fine) careful of the high setting as it may be too hot. Easy to switch to a cooler setting mid-use to prevent hair damage, though! I love having one tool that will dry and style whether I want curls, waves or a straight hair look.
