I have used this product for many years and noticed stores no longer carry it as of a year ago so I had to get it from Amazon. Now it looks like everyone on Amazon is out! I have tried so many alternatives like the TXT IT and even the new Dove line, and nothing even compares to the hold and matte finish of this product. All others are too sticky, don't hold long enough, or are too oily. Please bring this one back!

No hold; Poor replacement for TXT IT 02

8 years ago
L'Oréal had an amazing product called TXT IT 02 that they discontinued earlier this year, much to my dismay. This website suggests using Overworked as a comparable alternative. I tried Overworked and found it to an underwhelming waste of my money. This stuff provides very little hold and even less definition to my hair. Unless L'Oréal brings back TXT It 02 in some form, I'm done with this brand. "Because I'm worth it," but Overworked is definitely not.

    Changed formula?

    3 years ago
    Have been using this product for 10+ years. The product I recently purchased is creamy and soft, not the tacky putty it used to be. You definitely have to use much more to achieve the desired effect. Has the formula changed or is it a bad batch?

    New formula made this product worse

    3 years ago
    I’ve been buying this for years and loved it, but they changed the formula and now it’s got a different texture and doesn’t give the same strong hold it used to. It’s a much thinner consistency than it used to be, so you need to use more of it to give the same hold as a small amount of the old formula would give you. It’s a really annoying change and made the overworked hair putty much worse. I would have kept buying this if it didn't change.

    What Happened!!

    Overworked hair putty has been my go to product for years. But my recent purchase is making me wonder if I got a bad batch or the recipe has changed. This last container has a thinner consistency and doesn't give me the hold and texturizing I'm used to getting. Wondering now if I'll be having to look for something new.
    Product works well for:Volume, Hair Texturing, Blowouts

      I always used your Overworked Hair Putty. It's they only product I found that worked well with hair. I have thick hair with lots of layers. My question, did you change the product? I found it to be less pasty from past orders and more creamy. I ordered 8 of them since I am unable to find this in any store. I was disappointed as to the texture. In fact, I had an old jar and had to look at the jar thinking maybe I ordered the wrong one. If your product has changed...here I go again trying to find another. I am hoping that it was just a bad batch???

      I have fine oily hair. It doesn't respond well to harsh hair sprays or gels and gets unruly and heavy with other creams. OWHP is a light cream that is not greasy, has a great hold and provides excellent body all day without crazy build up. I love it!

      Oddly, the most affordable product on the shelf is the most durable and successful. This putty when applied wet and allowed to dry is super. It protects my wavy/fine hair leaving it as good in the afternoon as morning.

      I absolutely love this product. For years I struggled to find the perfect product to style my hair with. Most products fade out by the end of the day or don't help at all and only turn into a battle. This stuff takes control of your hair. It doesn't leave any flakes or residue on the scalp. My only dislike is the size of the jar and the fact that it takes a lot more than a dime size amount to style a thick head of hair. Otherwise, amazing product and I hope to see it upgrade rather than vanish!

      10. Overworked Hair Putty

        I was using TXT IT 02 extra strong hold. I have not been able to find it anymore. Has it been discontinued and is the Studio Line Overworked Hair Putty replacing it?

        1. Hi Tomak! Unfortunately the TXT IT Hyper Fix Putty has been discontinued and the Studio Line Overworked Hair Putty is the alternate product. We hope this helps!
