I've been using surfer hair since its first release years ago. The consistency has changed a bit since it's original release, but it has/is my go-to hair product. I have tried many hair products over the years, but always come back to this one. I feel it really does give you that surfer hair look and texture that you get when you spend the day at the beach. I haven't found that in other "surfer hair" products that make that claim. The hold could be better, but the hold is rated at a 2 on the package, which I think is accurate. The scent is light and pleasant and it gives me a ton of volume and texture when applied to damp hair and then blow dried. I'm writing this review because I'm finding that my stores aren't carrying it anymore and it's a good product. Please bring it back.

Smells really bad, and no longer holds well

I used to really like this product, as it held well and smelled good, kind of tropical. But it no longer has the same hold, and it smells TERRIBLE, like stale tobacco. Certainly not what you want your hair smelling like.

The best hair product i have found!!

a year ago
This easily the best product I have ever tried, and I have tried alot. Many other products will leave your hair stiff like a rock, or oily and greasy, but this stuff is perfectly in the middle. It shapes your hair how you want it, and is not too stiff, hard, or crunchy. it looks dry, like you didn't really care about fixing your hair, but it looks styled like out of a magazine!

Surfer Hair to Smoker Hair

a year ago
I used to use this product when it was in stores, and then started ordering it online after they stopped selling it in stores. Just recently I've bought one via Amazon, it smelled like it had been sitting in a cigarette smoking warehouse. Sent a message to Garnier, no response. Amazon sent me a replacement, same smell. Sent Garnier another message, again no response. Threw both out. I guess this is the end to Surfer Hair, and now called Smoker Hair.

No, I do not recommend this product.

Best styling product for short hair

What happened?

I've used surfer hair on and off for years, when I have short hair. I love the stuff! It has just the right hold to not feel sticky yet still look good, plus I can run my hands through my hair, no problem. It calms my hair so I don't get static hair, which is a big deal, especially in winter! My only problem? (The reason I can go to 5 stars) What happened to the scent? It used to have this lovely citrisy smell. This most recent purchase, I was very disappointed because it smelled like tobacco or smoke. It smells like an ashtray!! Is this a mistake? Why ruin a good thing????

BEST STYLING I HAVE EVER HAD

3 years ago
Man I started out with a Mousse in 5th grade 1999 that I loved but my Mom didn't want me looking that good so I was stuck with her buying me different spray and general hair gels that left my hair shiny and hard but I didn't know any better. Started using a different brand of paste 7 years ago and thought it was great until I was on vacation in Great Falls, Montana in 2019 I forgot my paste so I bought Garnier Fructis Power Putty Surfer Look. Said only a hold of level 2 so thought it wouldn't hold well BUT I WAS WRONG. It held great and smelled amazing and my hair wasn't shiny or hard just stayed all day exactly how I styled it EVEN AFTER I MESS MY HAIR UP AT THE EMD IF THE DAY TO GET IT OUT IT WILL STILL HOLD AND IS STYLABLE. Disappointed to not find it at the last couple stores I went to but I'm just going to order online until I find a store that carries it as it is a great price and has been the best hair styling products I have ever used. Can't believe the bad reviews on this product I think it is GREAT!!

Best Men's Hair Putty by Far

4 years ago
I've used the old and the new version of this product and both are exceptional, and I have yet to find another product that comes close to Garnier's Putty that holds your hair all day while looking natural. The scent is pleasant, light and clean, and is a big reason i stay away from a lot of other brands that lean toward a heavy cologne deodorant smell. The hold is great and you can decide what your look will be by how much you apply.

Q: What is the difference between fructis power putty surfer hair #6 and beach hair #6?   Evidently these are no longer made and only available on E-bay.  Need to go back to old formulation #6.   My wife was disapointed when the replacement doesn't work.

  • A: Hi there! Our Surfer Hair will provide you with a two level hold, therefore, it is lighter. Our Beach hair provided you with a strong hold, a level 6. We do apologize that the Beach Hair has been discontinued. However, you can still locate the Surfer Hair by following this link: https://www.garnierusa.com/en/about-our-brands/fructis-style/mens-hairstyling/power-putty-surfer-hair. We hope this helps!
