Customer Reviews:
Perfect for Short Hair
I've been searching for a product that's suitable for my short hair and this is it. It provides the right amount of hold without making my hair feel heavy. Plus, the faint pleasant scent is a nice bonus. It's a bit on the pricey side, but you only need a small amount, so it lasts a long time.
Not Ideal for Long Hair
I have longer hair and found that this product didn't provide the hold I was hoping for. It was fine initially, but didn't last all day. Also, if you're not careful with the amount you use, your hair can feel a bit crunchy. I won't be purchasing again.
Good but Not Outstanding
The product works decently for my medium-length hair. It offers a nice matte look and doesn't leave any residue, which I appreciate. However, I find the hold to be just okay - not strong enough for a full day. The fact that it's water-soluble and easy to wash out is a plus, though.
Product Summary:
Challenger Cream Pomade is best suited for those with thinner hair, providing a low to medium hold. It comes with a pleasant, faint scent that is not overbearing and fades away without lingering. The product offers a matte finish, ensuring no shine, and has a light texture. However, the texture can shift towards crunchy or greasy based on the quantity applied. While the pomade is on the pricier side, its effectiveness means that only a small amount is needed to achieve the desired style. It performs well with both short and longer hairstyles, though it may not provide as strong a hold for longer hair.
While the hold of the Challenger Cream Pomade may not last the entire day, it allows for easy restyling. The product is water-soluble, which contributes to its hassle-free washout. However, it's important to be cautious with the amount used, as overapplication can lead to a sticky and greasy feel.
