When we were formulating the award winning NO GUNK Styling Funk, we knew we had a daunting challenge in front of us. We had to formulate & design a truly innovative product, in every aspect of the product. It had to stay true to our core brand values: no harsh chemicals, no residue. It had to be made with totally natural & organic ingredients. An all natural hair wax.
The Styling Funk won Best Male Hair Product at the 2018 PURE Beauty Global Awards
It had to be better than what was currently available on the market. It had to have a name which fit the bill. It had to be something which you would want to sleep with & be proud to have it by your side the next day. It had to be light enough to take with you on the go. It had to be such a natural hair wax you could even condition your beard with it. In other words, It had to be a man's best friend.
So with this mission, we set out to prove many wrong and set the tone for the future of hair styling & hair care. We didn't want just another crappy hair product (or to be named something obnoxious like hair wax, putty, gum, glue, gel or clay.) We wanted to blur the lines between hairstyling & hair care products altogether. We wanted the Styling Funk to stand in a league of it's own.
We tried 1000s of different formulations, methods, recipes & ingredients. We weren't going to give up so easily. The patience paid off. In September 2017 we finally had a formula that ticked all the boxes. It was rich with top-notch natural ingredients like Beeswax, Shea Butter & Argan Oil that give nourishment to your hair; instead of taking away from it & causing irritation like the plethora of hair waxes, gels, clays & bullshit on the market. The result was the NO GUNK Styling Funk - this year's Best Male Hair Product.
FUN FACT: Did you know the main ingredient in most hair gels is ALCOHOL? It dries the hell out of your hair & "causes irritation & hair loss" especially if you use them more than three times a week.
The icing on the cake for us was the sweet, exotic yet indulgent scent of it. We knew we had accomplished our mission once we saw the final product with the label on. It was truly striking & irresistible, both inside & out. Ramtastic.
"Seriously worth it... Ive never felt my hair like this before" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Jacob L.
"Bought for my husband and he loves it!! Gives a nice shine without being sticky or hard Works well in his beard too… smells really good!." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Nina M.
"Bought this for my friend because he's been using a lot all of these chemical gels and stuff, and he got sick of them. He liked the styling funk a lot. It smells so nice!" ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Stefani B.
It's best applied after the shower on slightly wet hair. Take a little bit in your hands & rub together. Apply from root to tip ;)
