If you seek industrial-strength hold without the look of a Ken doll, consider this highly competent pomade. A combination of clay and beeswax deliver all-day hold and a matte finish, while fennel, lemon peel, and sage oils give it a fresh, herby scent. The gritty balm will never leave neither oily sheen nor a single strand out of place.
This product is nice, but a bit too heavy. After warming and applying, I always end up pulling out some of my hair which is pretty annoying. After a shampoo I still feel like the stuff is still in my hair. But if you want something that has a light fragrance and all-day hold, this is the stuff for you. Best applied to lightly damp hair, combed, and blow dried for a good hold.
3Product worked well with my chemistry. Great fragrance, although not too overpowering. Lots of compliments on the results from coworkers. Haven't really experimented with too many other products of this type, but Birchbox never lets me down! Love playing with new ideas and creating my perfect look. My partner also enjoys the variety.
5This is a waxy "pomade". Not greasy or slippery at all. I'm not sure I would call it a pomade. It seems like more of a hard wax. You have to warm it up in hands to use it. It offers good lift if going for some pompadour action. I have thick straight medium/long hair. I don't really get a slick look with this product but do get some exceptional hold. Not much scent to it.
