Amazon Just Sold 80,000 of This $8 Hair Wax Stick, and We Can Attest That It Actually Works on Flyaways

Whether it’s the humidity in the summer, static from running your fireplace in the winter, or breakage—if you have long hair, chances are you also have flyaways.

And if you’ve noticed your pesky frizz and flyaways tend to increase this time of year, you’re apparently in good company. Amazon shoppers have purchased more than 80,000 of these Samnyte Hair Wax Sticks in just the last month. And it’s on sale for $8 right now.

Samnyte Hair Wax Stick

Unlike hair wax or gel that has to be applied with your fingers, the Samynte hair stick is rolled on directly to problem areas, making it essentially mess-free. The fragrance-free wax is created with 100 percent plant-based ingredients, like beeswax, vitamin E, and avocado oil to tame flyaways without leaving a crunchy texture. The brand also says the vegan, cruelty-free wax is made for all hair types.

Lasting up to 24 hours, according to the brand, the wax is designed to not leave greasy residue or harden your hair. While it can be applied anytime you need to tame flyaways, it could come especially in handy when sporting an updo if you’re unable to get small hairs into your bun or ponytail.

“I have thick hair that I absolutely love, but it feels untamable at times,” Real Simple Editorial Director Allison Cacich says. “Whenever I wanted a sleek, straightened look, I typically had to layer on hair spray and anti-frizz serum. But that combination didn’t work on my pesky flyaways, and it left my hair looking greasy.”

Cacich says she bought the hair wax stick on a whim and has now found it to be the only product that keeps her “sticking-up strands” down. “I’m still surprised by how little I need to use for it to work. In fact, I usually just put a small amount on my fingers to smooth down the individual strands instead of applying the stick directly to my hair. This product is going to last me a very long time.”

If not obvious enough by the 80,000 units sold in the last month, Amazon shoppers are loving the hair wax stick, too. The wax stick has more than 34,000 five-star reviews from shoppers impressed with how well it keeps flyaways at bay and how healthy it makes their hair look—especially for the price. A common theme among reviews is that it’s easy to apply and wash out, and because each stick is just 2.7 ounces, it’s great for quick touch-ups and taking on the go.

“I love the Samnyte Hair Wax Stick! It’s perfect for taming flyaways and keeping my hair looking sleek all day,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “It also nourishes the hair, giving it a healthy shine. Highly recommend it for anyone wanting a smooth, polished look.”

One shopper even called the wax stick the “best product” they’ve ever bought, while another said they’ve now added it to their hair routine. “I wear a lot of buns and tend to have flyaway hairs everywhere—especially at the base of my neck,” they wrote. “This works better than hairspray and still feels soft to the touch.”
