Customer Reviews:
Unmatched hold for my tough hair.
I finally found a product that can handle my thick, wavy hair and keep my pompadour standing tall. This one locks it in firmly without feeling overly heavy or sticky all day.
Difficult to emulsify and apply evenly.
The stiffness of the pomade in the jar makes it a real challenge to work with. It takes significant effort to rub it into my hands, and I often end up with clumps in my hair.
Washes out perfectly and smells fantastic.
For such a hard-holding product, I'm amazed it washes out so cleanly with just water. Plus, the classic, masculine scent is easily one of the best out there, making styling enjoyable.
Very strong hold, but the shine is a bit much.
It definitely delivers on the hard hold, keeping my hair immaculate all day. I wish the resulting shine was toned down slightly; it gives more of a wet-look than I intended.
Leaves my hair feeling unnaturally stiff.
While the hold is undeniable, the final set feels much too rigid and helmet-like. I prefer a product that allows for a little movement, even with this level of strong control.
Excellent longevity, but quite expensive.
The product performs flawlessly and I know my style will hold up, making it worth the investment. However, its high price means I have to reserve it for special occasions rather than daily use.
