Nishman Hair Styling Aqua Spider Wax S2 Tarantula

The Nishman Hair Styling Aqua Spider Wax S2 Tarantula is a highly popular water-based hair styling product from the Turkish brand Nishman. It's distinctive for its unique "spider web" like texture when rubbed between the hands, which contributes to its strong hold and flexibility. ​ Here's a detailed look: Key Features & Benefits: "Spider Web" Effect: This is the most defining characteristic. When you rub a small amount of the wax between your hands, it creates fine, elastic strands, resembling a spider web. This unique texture helps in distributing the product evenly and creating detailed, textured hairstyles, allowing for "micro-detail sculpting and strand-by-strand control." Strong & Flexible Hold: The "S2 Tarantula" is known for providing an extremely strong yet flexible hold. It gives your hair the "power of a gorilla and the strength of a spider web," ensuring your hairstyle stays intact all day without stiffness, crunchiness, or flaking. It's highly effective even on stubborn, curly, or thick hair. Finish: Most commonly, it provides a shiny or glossy finish, giving the hair a well-groomed and polished appearance. However, some sources also describe it as having a "natural, matte effect," so it's worth noting that interpretations of the finish can vary, but generally, it leans towards a healthy shine. Aqua Wax (Water-Based): Being water-based, it's very easy to apply, spreads smoothly through the hair, and most importantly, washes out effortlessly with just water and shampoo, leaving no residue or build-up. Scent Profile: The S2 Tarantula is frequently described as having a fresh, masculine scent. Many descriptions specifically mention a lime scent or a lavender scent, suggesting a refreshing and invigorating aroma that lingers subtly throughout the day. Some also simply refer to it as "amber" or "fresh." Adds Volume & Texture: The unique fibrous structure helps in adding volume and texture to the hair, making it ideal for modern, textured hairstyles like pompadours, spiky looks, or deliberately messy-yet-elegant styles. No Residue/Flakes: Formulated to not leave any white flakes, sticky, or greasy residue in the hair. Re-workable: While offering a strong hold, its flexible nature means you can often re-style your hair throughout the day if needed. Paraben-Free: A common feature across Nishman products, appealing to those who prefer to avoid parabens. Some sources also indicate it's sulfate-free and cruelty-free. Suitable for All Hair Types: Recommended for all hair types and lengths, although particularly effective for short and medium-length hair. Ingredients (commonly listed): Aqua Ceteareth-25 Glycerin PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil Perfume (Fragrance) PEG-90M BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene - an antioxidant) Benzyl Alcohol PPG-2 Methyl Ether 2-Bromo-2-Nitropropane-1,3-Diol Silica Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate (Preservative) Various fragrance components (e.G.,Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal, Citronellol, Butylphenyl Methylpropional, D-Limonene, Coumarin - these contribute to the specific "Tarantula" scent) CI 19140 (Yellow 5), CI 42090 (Blue 1) - colorants. How to Use: Scoop: Take a small, hazelnut-sized amount of wax with your fingers. Emulsify & Create "Webs": Rub the wax vigorously between your palms. As you rub and clap your hands together, you'll notice the distinctive "spider web" like threads forming. Apply: Distribute these "webs" and the wax evenly through dry or slightly damp hair.
