Happy Thursday lovelies!
I hope you all have had a wonderful week so far. My week has been crazy busy and to say that I am tired would be an understatement. So while the posts have slowed down a bit, I haven't forgotten about you guys.
Anyway, as you guys know, I have quite a few products in my product graveyard. I'm slowing but surely getting rid of the excess products. One product taking up residence in the product graveyard is Elasta QP Glaze. I purchased Elasta QP Glaze when I started wearing wigs so that I could smooth down my edges. Allegedly, this stuff was supposed to be the bee's knees in taming those edges.
Yeah well that's a damn lie.
When I tell you that my hair absorbed that junk like it was water. Lawd. I only had that stuff on for a good 30 minutes before my edges puffed up again. Then the stuff had the nerve to look greasy after my hair soaked up whatever else was in it. And this happened repeatedly. So I stopped using it for months.
Fast forward to January of this year. I had just relaxed my hair and I was looking at that nearly full jar of Elasta QP Glaze, trying to figure out what to do with it it. I thought that maybe I had been unfair to Glaze. I mean after all, I was deep into a relaxer stretch when I used it. Maybe the Glaze will work better for the first few weeks after a relaxer. Let me give Glaze another shot.
That proved to be a waste of my time.
Even with one week post hair, Elasta QP Glaze failed at keeping my edges slicked back. Repeatedly. My first impression about this product was the right one and I don't intend to use it again.
So bottom line is: I hated Elasta QP Glaze before and I hate it now. Ain't no getting around it.
My hair stylist used this in my hair last week when she did my relaxer. She smoothed it on my hair once before blow drying and a second time right before flat ironing. My hair was really shinny but that was my first experience with it.
ReplyDeleteHow did you like it? Or are you feeling pretty neutral towards it?
DeleteHated it! Enough to throw away my nearly full jar so it wouldn't simply take up room in my storage.
ReplyDeleteGirl I chucked that jar now! Some things aren't worth giving a second chance smh
DeleteHated it several years ago--and that was before I started my hair journey. Some stuff just sucks. Period.

That stuff is just terrible! I don't recommend it to anyone!
DeleteI thought I liked it until I saw how greasy it left my edges. Most times similar to what you said my edges would puff or curl up worse than before I applied product. I threw away the whole jar awhile back. "Ain't nobody got time for that!" :-) I really wanted to like it. I don't use gel often but its good to have one on hand. Still looking for a decent edge product.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I totally wanted to like this product b/c Elasta QP does have some solid products for it to be a cheaper line. This stuff was just terrible! If they are gonna change the formulation to something, Glaze needs to be the first thing on the list!
