Hanz 5 It's quite literally solid. As you can see from my photo it's definitely a wax base, and it doesn't leave your hair nice and soft. However it does give you a very nice blue, and the ability to mold it into any shape you want, which was perfect for my halloween costume. Keep in mind I have white-blonde hair usually, so the blue was guaranteed to work on me. But I think even with darker hair the wax consistency would mean you would get a decent color.
