very good for some purposes difficult for others [SEP] i have about different colors of this mofajang hair color wax temporary hairstyle cream and i purchased them before i got this gray sample to try what i like about these products is that they add a temporary color to my already light grey hair such as a pink or purple tinge or even a darker gray or darker blue grayyou get the picture this easily adds a pastel color to my lighter hair with a smallish amount of product i could see that to change up dark hair or to get a strong intense color tone you would need to pile this stuff on and i think that is where this gets a bad rap yes you can glob this on to higher opacity and change your dark colored hair to the color shown in the jar but you need a lot to do this and you may not like the sticky waxy result it is wax after all if you are using a little bit about a quarter sized blob and adding this through your washed and wet hair and then blow dry your hair will still move naturally and have the lighter tone of the product provided your hair was fairly light to begin with just my two cents
