But I love my hair gel because it makes something on my body remain stiff for more than four hours without the need to see a doctor and it gives my hair to ability to pop balloons so that I can make the children holding them cry.<\/p>\n<p>The Whatever Messy Look Paste is part of Axe&#8217;s new hair product line, which is made up of shampoos, conditioners and hair styling products.  It expands Axe&#8217;s Axis of Evil Aromas.  For those of you who are regular Impulsive Buy readers, you know that I&#8217;m not a big fan of Axe products and have given them bad reviews because I think all their products smell alike and they have never gotten a guy tackled, kissed, groped or bitten, despite what their commercials show.  Because of my feelings towards Axe products, I didn&#8217;t expect much from the Whatever Messy Look Paste, but I have to admit that I kind of liked it.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/axewhateverlookpaste2.jpeg?resize=600%2C152&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"152\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-67631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/axewhateverlookpaste2.jpeg?resize=600%2C152&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/axewhateverlookpaste2.jpeg?resize=300%2C76&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/axewhateverlookpaste2.jpeg?resize=768%2C195&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/03\/axewhateverlookpaste2.jpeg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Axe has four hair products; each is used for a different type of styling: spiked, shaggy, clean and messy.  The Axe Whatever Messy Look Paste, obviously, gives users a messy just-out-of-bed look, which is otherwise known as the It Looks Like I Don&#8217;t Give A Shit About My Hair, But I Really Do Because I Spent Five Minutes Looking At Myself In The Mirror Trying to Make My Hair This Messy look.  I was able to make my hair messy with it, but I also made it fairly neat, as you can see above.<\/p>\n<p>The hair paste was baby blue in color.  If I remember correctly from my days as a drooling, diaper-pooping infant, that is a boyish color.  Its scent was much more pleasant than any other Axe product I&#8217;ve tried, but it also smelled like a woman&#8217;s deodorant.  And I should know what a women&#8217;s deodorant smells like because I&#8217;ve licked my fair share of female armpits for $50 on top of their usual hourly rate.  <\/p>\n<p>Applying the paste was simple; all I had to do was use a finger-tip amount, rub it vigorously between  my hands, spread it thoroughly through my damp hair and style.  Because the product was baby blue, it temporarily gave some of my hair a baby blue sheen, but it quickly faded as I styled it.<\/p>\n<p>The product did a good job of maintaining its hold.  Even after having it on the whole day, it pretty much looked the same as when I applied it.  It didn&#8217;t make my hair stiff and it didn&#8217;t flake, but it was a little greasy, which would make it slightly unappealing for a woman to run her fingers through my hair while I lick her armpit for an extra fifty bucks.<\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Axe Whatever Messy Look Paste<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $6.48<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b>  2.64 ounces<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Wal-Mart<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Does a good job maintaining hold.

Smells like a woman&#8217;s deodorant.  Baby blue color is kind of weird.  Gives hair a temporary baby blue sheen.
