Rating a hair product, I believe that the hair type should be mentioned. So, I will not rate solely based on my hair, but objectively how it performs as a matte pomade.
1. Does it deliver what it promises? Yes, and very well indeed.
2. Is it suitable for all hair types? Definitely not.
In my opinion, this product is ideal for individuals whose hair is neither too flat nor too voluminous, but something in between. I have long hair that I slick back when going out. When my hair was still quite short and I needed a lot of help to slick it back (when I say quite short, I mean 3-5 centimeters of hair), it did its job perfectly and held it for hours, providing a matte finish, and I didn't need any help from hairspray.
Now, my hair is in a state where it covers my face when left down, so it's logical that the product struggles and requires me to use more of it.
You won't find anything better for its price.
Another important aspect is that it's not hard. You can easily scoop it out of its container, warm it up, and the application on your hair is pleasant. It doesn't stick, preventing you from touching your hair like the Uppercut clay, which I had a very bad experience with.
If I were in your position, based on my experience, I would definitely give this pomade a try.
Always remember to use an appropriate amount for your hair. Don't expect a drop to hold four-year-old hair. Let's not get carried away because I hear some strange things.
Give it a chance, it will surprise you!!
Lastly, it has a very nice scent, although it might clash with some fragrance you wear, depending on the quantity.
It rinses off easily from your hands and hair with just plain water. It's the first time I see a product that doesn't require soap to remove
