Water-based styling products break down with a little H20. To loosen this styler’s grip on hair, just wet fingers and run them through your hair. If you want something with more hold, try Oribe’s Original Pomade.

Birchbox Breakdown

Instead of shelling out for an appointment at a fancy salon, get a salon effect with this pro-quality styling cream. The light formula works on both wet or dry hair and dries to a flexible—never sticky—hold. It works equally well on straight, curly, or wavy hair, plus the sculptural black bottle adds a touch of rock star to your bathroom shelf.

How it Works

This luxe formula uses high-quality natural ingredients to keep hair healthy. Geranium, lavender, and chamomile extracts hydrate, while antioxidant-loaded green tea extract and vitamin E protect hair from environmental factors. It prevents frizz and general unruliness equally well for dry or wet hair.

great prduct

This hair product is my husband's favorite! It does exactly what it says it will do plus it smells amazing. It holds without weighing the hair down or making it look too stiff. Loved it!

Best stuff I've found

This cream is perfect for short or medium length hair. It gives hair hold, shape, definition, and a bit of depth without making you look like you use a lot of product. SOme days its the only hair product I use. A new staple.

Hold, aromatic, and minimal

Describing this as a creme is perfectly accurate it dispenses in a form almost mousse or conditioner like and spreads easily through the hair. I have use other shaping cremes before but this one was much more fluid than solid, which I liked. The scent was very appealing and it gave a nice hold to trap down stray hairs but not jersey shore spike it.

Ok

The cream is somewhat greasy. I use product everyday so I thought this was not the best. It did have a good smell though.

This will make your hair smell good enough to . . . Well, you get the idea

Wow, now this is a product that is worth investing in. It smells great, it styles great -- to the point of even enjoying putting it (or to be more fancy and elegant, massaging it) through your hair.

I didn't realize playing with my . . . hair . . . could be this much fun!

Good Hold

This gives a great hold and doesn't end up as white flakes on your pillow. It smells pretty good too.

Light hold, classic scent

I've used several Oribe and all are tops for what they are built for. This is for light hold so the hair can bounce and feel soft but stay in roughly the same spot throughout the day. The smell is good; probably geared more towards women but it is on the lighter side so I actually enjoy it. Ask your salon/barbor what type of product you should be using, research to find the Oribe's version of that, and get a bottle. You won't be disappointed.

Nice product

I have short to medium length hair. I thought the product was light and yet provided good natural looking hold.

Liked but not strong enough for me

I liked the feel of it, but it didn't quite have the hold I need for shorter hair. If you have longer hair, it may be just what you need to get a natural look without too much shine or hardness. I prefer more pomade-like solutions.

Too smelly

Great product, it holds all day and not much shine. Leaves a very natural look, except that it has a very strong smell that last all day.
