Hair Pomade

I wasn't sure after reading the reviews on this product but ordered it anyway because I try to have as much organic products in my life as I can afford haha. Here are my thoughts: 1. FRIZ CONTROL: I have somewhat wavy hair that frizzes really bad with humidity so I like to have a product in my hair during most of the summer months. With that said, this product seems to do very well with "controlling frizz". 2. HOLD: I would say the hold is light on this product. If you have really resistant hair shape, or are looking for a product to give you high texturing ability, this is probably not it. If you are looking for a product to give a little bit of shape and not be too "gel-like" this is probably a great fit for you. 3. SMELL: Now, this is the part of the review that people tended to vary wildly on. In my opinion the product smells "organic" like you would expect. If you are an essential oil user, it has a very herby/essential oil type smell. I will say, the smell disappears before the holding ability does, so that's good. I am personally a fan of the smell. It is definitely more on the masculine side of odor in my opinion. 4. SOFTNESS: One thing I noticed is that this product leaves my hair incredibly soft at the end of the day and also washes out extremely easy in the shower. The residue effect is MINIMAL. My wife even mentioned it made my hair seem thicker when I have it on. 5. It takes MINIMAL of the product to get the desired effect. With that said, I think this container will last me at least a few months.

Been using this for a few years while wearing my hear a little longer (not down to my shoulders but longer than the standard military or conservative business look). What I found worked best for me and my crazy wavy Irish hair is waiting a few minutes for my hair to start drying before I apply the pomade. If I applied it immediately after I got out of shower I found I couldnt get as much control of my hair with this. But if I brushed my teeth and put on deodorant first, by then my hair would be starting to dry a bit but still be damp enough to where this pomade works great. I recommend using as little as possible because a little goes a long way with this product. Note: If you wait too long and your hair is mostly dry, you'll want to run water on your hands and then run your fingers thru your hair to add some moisture back into your hair before using the pomade because dry hair will absorb this and not want to cooperate as well. If you like a wet look, try using a 2nd application of this and you'll probably like the result. Overall this product keeps my hair from going all frizzy and helps hold its shape even after long hours in the heat. My girlfriend loves the smell but she is used to more organic, essential oils type aromas, so if you're not used to that it may smell odd to you at first. But it is not a strong aroma at all. In fact, after 5-10 minutes I dont even smell it anymore and have never had anyone comment on it other than women who all seem to like it and want to find out what it is so they can get it for their husband or boyfriend. Last but not least: while using this daily just a little bit has resulted in this product lasting 2-3 months before needing to reorder another one. Overall I love this pomade from John Masters Organics and have never had an easier time taking care of my hair thanks to this quality product.

Horribly overpriced product in my opinion. At best this product should be $7.99 like other pomades this size. Cons - - Smells very mediciney like some concoction from grandma's cabinet. You are left to wonder... "I'm putting this in my hair?" It almost smells like old cold medicine from 50 years ago or something. - This is not meant for fine, thin or thinning hair. Contrary to what is says, it doesn't add volume. It takes away volume and bounce by making hair limp because it has oils in it. Anytime you put oil in your hair, it simply weighs it down. I should have adhered to this common sense before buying. - This gives a very shiny or greasy wet look (Elvis?). This is not a matte finish. - For thinner or fine hair (this is a horrible product) because it will show your scalp if you are thinning. - I am not seeing any hold or stiffness even though it has beeswax in it, even after 30 minutes. It just feels weighed down, shiny and wet. - This is very similar to gel not so much like a wax based pomade. - Oh and if you use a comb to comb your hair after you apply this product, the comb will smell like it! Obviously you can't use your favorite brush unless you want that wax all over it! Buy this product if you meet the following conditions - You have a full head of dense (I mean dense like Elvis) and THICK hair. - You like that shiny, wet and greasy look (see Elvis picture from 50s) - You don't mind putting grandma's ointment in your hair. It doesn't smell after you put it on, you won't smell like it but when you rub it in your hands that's what it smells like. The only thing that saves it is the peppermint, if it weren't for that this would smell really bad.

I read the reviews prior to purchase as 2oz doesn't seem like much. I've used this everyday for a month and have been impressed that a) there is still over half the jar left and b) the hold and shine are phenomenal. Smells nice as well. I like the fact it is very soluble in water as well...if I need to re-style, I just run some water in my hands and run through my hair and the pomade reactivates. My only complaint isn't that it takes a lot of effort to wash out, even after a day or so. Which maybe some will see a positive. I usually wash my hair every other day, but shower daily. When I go to add pomade after just a hair rinse, there seems to be plenty left from the prior day. Overall, great product.

Excellent! Will post photos of my hair style! Not as greasy as some say. My hair looks very healthy and good! It's organic, without nasty chemicals!

Da tempo cercavo un prodotto per i miei capelli con un INCI eccellente, più che crema la definirei cera, per la sua texture compatta. L'azienda John Masters Organics, scoperta da poco con grande sorpresa, produce diversi prodotti di origine biologica-organica certificati per la cura dei capelli. Prodotto Made in Usa. Come utilizzare: passare le dita nel barattolo con movimenti rotatori e scaldare tra le dita il prodotto (ne basta poco per capelli corti-medi). Avendo il cuoio capelluto e i capelli secchi, per me è un ottimo prodotto. Come applicare: applicazione consigliata su capelli bagnati o asciutti, io la uso sui capelli leggermente bagnati in maniera tale da lasciare il capello più idratato. L'effetto è idratante, leggermente fissante e lucido (metterne poca in base alle proprie esigenze e gusti). Dall'apertura sulla confezione è consigliato il suo utilizzo entro i 6 mesi. L'odore a me piace (molti altri recensori prima di me preferiscono altre profumazioni, probabilmente perchè abituati ad altri prodotti). La composizione (INCI come da foto) è la seguente: Olio d'oliva, C'era d'api, Olio di semi di jojoba, olio di semi di babbassu, estratto di mango, olio di semi di girasole, olio essenziale alloro, estratto di rosmarino, olio di germe di grano, olio essenziale legno di cedro e olio essenziale di abete balsamico. *Ingredienti di natura Biologica-organica. Prezzo alto, ma considerata la qualità degli ingredienti ne vale la pena!

After application my head instantly turned greasy looking as if I hadn’t washed them for a week, absolutely no strength, completely useless. The only nice thing is goods smell.

For the amount you pay, you get an extremely small tin. For reference sake, its about 3/4 the size of a Kiwi shoe polish tin. However, don't be fooled by this. I've always struggled with a dry scalp due to the bad quality of water in India. I've tried numerous products including organic shampoos, coconut oil etc. None of them worked. Except this pomade. I've been using it for a little over a month now and I swear by it. The smell is not overbearing and is quite pleasant. It does not provide any high level of hold and you will need to restyle your hair once or twice throughout the day. It does have a high level of shine and I've always found my hair smooth once I rinse it off. You don't need to apply too much, about a dime size is sufficient. My tin is less than halfway done in a month's time. Overall, an excellent product if you're looking for something to give your hair some shine and medium hold. I use this in conjunction with http://www.amazon.in/gp/product/B009GHHW5Y/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_3 and my scalp has never been healthier. Highly recommend both products.

Je recherchais une cire pour cheveux secs et courts et bio. Attention, il existe plusieurs certifications bio dans le monde : celle ci n’est pas française ou européenne. Cependant la certification bio USDA a été créée pour s’harmoniser avec. Je suis enfin tombé sur celle ci et les ingrédients ne sont pas issus du pétrole. Même si la boîte est petite il en faut vraiment très peu pour être efficace. Au début il faut planter le doigt pour casser la surface et utiliser les très petites paillettes de cire. L’odeur est proche du camphre mais elle ne reste pas dans le sens où on ne la sent pas quand le vent passe dans les cheveux. Il vaut mieux en mettre par de très petites touches quitte à en remettre. Faire chauffer entre ses doigts et appliquer : personnellement je n’en mets pas seulement en surface mais en passant naturellement les doigts en arrière et en avant. Puis je coiffe à la brosse. Le rendu est une légère brillance naturelle et le cheveu est bien maîtrisé. Il se repositionne à la main dans la journée. Inutile de rincer les doigts, le restant nourrit les mains sans résidu gras car pénètre vite. Chère pour de la cire mais c’est un investissement pour l’avenir et notre santé pour éviter tout perturbateur endocrinien.
