18.21 Man Made Elixir 13 Men's Styling and Thickening Treatment for Hair, Original Sweet Tobacco Volumizing Leave-on, 3.4oz

I've been using18.21 products for almost 4 years and bought this product the day it came out. Smells fantastic and really goes a long way before replacing. It's additional boost to my daily grooming routine right out of the shower.

Good prestyling

My husband loves this scent- It's the only one he'll wear! It smells like honey, and there's a tobacco scent and the combination is just very masculine. This is strongly scented. When he uses it, he does not have to use the cologne that night. It's easy to use - just a spray and he works it into his hair after he washes it. It does volumize his hair and it doesn't make it still or sticky. His hair still feels natural but it looks thicker. His hairs a great white and it doesn't yellow it.

Probably his for short hair. Super, super hold.

I gave this to my son to try without realizing that it is supposed to also help with hair regrowth. He still has a nice full head of hair and didn't see any additional growth, though it would be tough to determine on him. He seemed to enjoy using this product. And said that it left a cool/clean feel to his scalp and a pleasant scent that could be smelled even after it dried. It did a good job of styling his hair and said he didn't need to use a lot to accomplish that. It's a bit expensive unless it really does help with regrowth which would make it an excellent value.

So this does seem to volume up the hair as advertised. Its a very thin, clear liquid and goes through the hair very easily with no visible residue. It did seem to stiffen the hair a bit after application (this may be related to the 'styling' claims but it wasn't strong enough to hold a particular shape); I ran a comb through it and that seems to break the lock and then the hair was soft with no product flaking. I do think this runs a bit expensive for what it is even with the current coupon. I will say however that even though the bottle is a bit on the smaller side you only need small amounts of the product so I think it will last a while. The smell is a lot. I'm not sure what I was expecting as this was my first tobacco scented product but it turns out I'm not a fan. I'm a former smoker so that may play into it; I honestly found it a bit off-putting. It smells like a sweet/cherry cigar with a heavy focus on the tobacco aspect. If you like that type of scent then you'll love it as its very strong. The scent does seem to fade after a while, that or you go nose blind to it, and I didn't notice it after a few hours. Would I recommend? Yes, but only if you are fan of the scent and are willing to pay extra for the chance to smell like a cigar shop.

This Elixir 13 is a good styling product. It makes your hair behave every morning without fail. I can't say I have seen any hair-thickening effect though. The spray nozzle is very precise and nice to use. On top of that, I love the sweet tobacco scent. As other comments mentioned, it is quite strong, but it doesn't smell cheap. The dark glass bottle and package also have a somewhat luxurious feel, so it would be an excellent present for someone in your life who cares about their hair. The only complaint is that the bottle is quite small (3.4FL OZ / 100ml). This makes it a pricy product. Made in the USA

I gotta tell you, the 18.21 Man Made Elixir 13 Men's Styling and Thickening Treatment for Hair is freaking awesome. I mean, seriously, this stuff is the real deal. If you're looking for a product that will give you thicker, fuller hair without feeling greasy or weighed down, this is it. I've been using it for a few weeks now, and I've definitely noticed a difference in the thickness of my hair. Plus, it smells amazing - like a combination of vanilla, tobacco, and spice. It's definitely a unique scent, but I love it. The only reason I'm giving it 4.5 stars instead of a perfect score is because of the price. It's a little on the expensive side for a 3.4oz bottle, but I guess you get what you pay for. And honestly, if it means having thicker, better-looking hair, I'm willing to shell out a few extra bucks. Overall, I'd say this product is definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a styling product that will give you great results without any hassle. The scent is killer, the formula is effective, and it's just an all-around great product. Give it a shot - you won't regret it.
