Before I continue let me make it very clear that these are just my views about the product and I shall not take responsibility for any damage caused to anyone due to their usage of the product after reading my review.
So welcome back guys to yet another post on the EveryDay blog. This time around it's about a product that has become an important part of my life now.A product that I've been using so regularly that something feels incomplete if I don't use it before I head out of my house. It's the UrbanGabru ZERO 2 INFINITY Clay Hair Wax that I'm talking about.
PART 1 : The Story
So before I begin, let me give you a small background story about why I chose to use any hair styling product in the first place. If you want to skip this and head straight to the review then go to part 2 . For most part of my life, I've always had short hair due to various reasons like my school being strict about haircuts and my parents( especially my mother) who thought that keeping your hair short will make you look decent. Well, I agree to that point to a certain extent but towards the end of my 12th STD, I started growing my hair out and realised how great it looked. But there was a problem. I just couldn't style it properly. My hair was all over the place and it was really annoying. Back then, I had no idea about the various Indian products available in the market. All I used was nothing(Sometimes Brylcreem which did nothing to help me) .This was in the beginning of 2017. Then ended my 12th std and so began my 1st year year. By this time I was fed up of my long hair and I got it cut it to a medium length. Then few months into my Engineering life, I started missing my long hair and started growing it back again. During those days I had done a little research and was using the UrbanGabru Hair Wax, the first version that they launched, to style my medium length hair. To be honest, it was a pathetic product. Next thing, I was on the lookout for a something with a stronger hold. Again, after a little research I ended up purchasing a product called 'Kocaine Klay Hair Wax'. The reason I chose this product was that I wanted something natural or with as little chemicals as possible as I intended to use it daily. According to the YouTube reviews, this was a natural product and I ended up buying it. The product was decent. Not great but not completely bad either.The only big issue I faced with it was that it couldn't be washed away with plain water and needed shampooing everytime. I used it for a good 7 months, until I came upon a YouTube video that claimed that this product is fake. The reason provided was that it had no licensing no. or batch no. through which the government authorities could verify the claims made by the manufacturer. And then, I happened to notice this new product by 'UrbanGabru' which was actually a new and improved version of the actual UrbanGabru Hair Wax. The YouTube response to this product was quite positive and the one main thing that attracted me was that it could be washed away with just water.
PART 2: THE REVIEW!
It's 11pm right now as I'm typing this. I haven't washed my hair for almost 3 days(reasons I can't disclose here) and it's oily as hell. The first thing I gotta do is to shampoo and wash my hair as it must have accumulated a lot of dirt and oil. But tonight is not the time as it's too cold and I'm too lazy to go to the bathroom again. So I'll stop typing here and show you guys a picture of my hair as it is right now. The purpose of this picture is to tell you how much my hair can be transformed after applying the wax. Ugly selfie time. Duh.
Okay, so its 3:18 pm the next day and I'm back after taking a shower and shampooing my hair and now they're nice and smooth with no oil, dirt or whatsoever. Let me show you a picture.

THE PRODUCT :
The product comes in a 100 grams package. The container is made of plastic.
The product claims to use mostly natural ingredients, with very few chemicals.
It Contains :
- Aqua Water Cetrath-23
- Propylene Glycol EDTA
- Vitamin E
- Almond Oil Polysorbate-20
- Diatom Earth Clay
- Ethylene Glycol Distearate
- Cetanol & Coco Diammonium Chloride
- Perfume
APPLICATION OF THE PRODUCT :
Before applying the product, you need to make sure that your hair is 100% dry or else the product will loose its effectiveness ( as it's a water soluble product). Your palms should be clean and free of any oil. It's always a good practice to wash your hands before (and after) you apply this product to your hair.
I WONT BE USING ANY HAIR DRYER(ON A HOT SETTING) TO STYLE MY HAIR AS I'M NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT . USING A HAIRDRYER ON A DAILY BASIS ISN'T THE BEST THING FOR YOUR HAIR.
I TOWEL DRY MY HAIR AND THEN LET IT DRY NATURALLY 99% OF THE TIMES.
ONLY ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS, I USE THE HAIR DRYER FOR THAT DAPPER LOOK.
ONLY ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS, I USE THE HAIR DRYER FOR THAT DAPPER LOOK.
STEPS TO APPLY 'Urban Gabru ZERO 2 INFINITY Clay Hair Wax' :
- If you've just towel dried your hair, make sure it's free of any tangles else you will not be able to style your hair the way you want.
- Take a small amount of the product, maybe as much ash the size of your fingernail and rub it onto your fingers and spread it evenly across your fingers.
- Rub the product into your hair starting from the back and moving towards the front.
- Set your hair into the desired style.
- If you do not get the desired hold, repeat steps 2, 3 and 4.
- Applying too much product will weigh down your hair and spoil the look of your hair, stop after applying it for 4-6 times.
Here's a small video showing you guys how I apply the product.
CONCLUSION :
All in all, this is a great product for those who want to style their hair with little effort and at an affordable price. Ideal for people who want a product with slighlty more than medium hold. Stronger hold can be achieved by using a hair dryer with this product.
Remember to always get the correct haircut for the hairstyle you wish.

It's always important to take a small amount of product at a time and apply it in 4-6 steps instead of applying the entire thing at once.
Now let's talk about how it performs.
THE HOLD :
The hold of the product, without using a hair dryer or any other additional hair styling product is 'good'. It isn't great, but is isn't very bad either. I would give it a 6.5 out of 10.After styling your hair, on an average, the product will hold your hair in place for around 4 hours, after which you might need to add more product. Now, a lot of it depends on the condition of your scalp. If you sweat too much, don't expect much from the product. Applying this product to hair that is too oily wont help at all.
The weather conditions also play a very important role in determining the hold of this product. If the conditions are humid, this product wont last long, but at the same time, during winters, when the humidity is low, this product has kept my hair in place for more than 5 hours without any problem.
The most important thing to take care about while using this product is that to keep all kinds of moisture away from your hair during, and after application of this product.
Any kind of moisture just destroys the hold of this product. Well, a drop or two of water won't affect it, but if you have wet hands and if you run it through your hair then it's gonna ruin your hairstyle. As I've mentioned earlier your hair and palms need to be clean and dry while you apply this product.
Also your hair type plays an important role. If you have very thin hair, then this is not the product for you.
The ideal hair length for people using this product should be 6 inches or lesser especially for people with slightly thinner hair. Anything more than that, you'll just end up applying more and more product making your hair oily and ugly.
Last but not the least, if you do not
have the correct haircut required for your hairstyle, then its pointless using
even the most expensive product in the market. So get a correct haircut first.
THE FRAGRANCE :
The fragrance isn't something that you'll really notice once you start using the product regularly. It's a very mild fragrance, definitely smells good but you won't notice it much.
THE SIDE EFFECTS :
Now, I've been using this product almost daily for about a year now and I haven't noticed any side effects so far. This product hasn't caused dandruff in my hair. The quality of my hair hasn't been affected in any way due to the regular usage of this product. If you have sensitive scalp or any other skin disorders then I would recommend you to consult a skin/hair specialist before you start using this product.
THE PROS and CONS :
PROS :
- Can be easily washed away with water. No shampoo required everytime you try to remove the product, just plain water is more than enough.
- No side effects on long term usage( atleast in my case).
- Reasonably priced. At ₹330 on amazon, this is a really value for money product.
- Easy to apply. The entire application process takes less than 5 minutes if done right
- Uses mostly natural ingredients (as claimed by the manufacturer).
- Does not make hair uncomofortably stiff. You can always re - style your hair after applying this product.
CONS :
- Does not provide the 'Strong hold' that it claims. Has a somewhere between a medium and strong hold.
- Packaging could be improved. One particular container I ordered had a lid which was broken on the sides (the plastic wrapping was still intact) though the contents were still packed inside tightly.
- Makes hair oily in humid conditions if not applied in careful amounts.
- The contents of the same broken lid container developed some kind of fungus on top after 2 months. I might also add that this is the only package which developed fungus, the remaining 3 packages that I ordered were fine till they got over.(each package lasts around 3 months before it gets over)
CONCLUSION :
All in all, this is a great product for those who want to style their hair with little effort and at an affordable price. Ideal for people who want a product with slighlty more than medium hold. Stronger hold can be achieved by using a hair dryer with this product.
Remember to always get the correct haircut for the hairstyle you wish.
