UPPERCUT DELUXEMatte Pomade Midi, Medium Hold, Matte Finish Water Based Matte Hair Styling Product Easy Wash Out, No Residue, 0.9 oz / 30g

Good product.

If there are black spots in your pomade, it’s not mold. It is the coffee infusion and it smells amazing. After trying dozens of matte pomades, this one is the best by far. Great hold, great smell, nice matte finish, amazing value.

I use this every day, it holds my hair well and has a nice smell

So here's the deal. I've tried many different formulas of pomades over the last several years ranging from traditional, wax-based, to the more common water-based and clay-based pomades. I wanted to find something that offered a medium to firm hold without a lot of shine. This product from Uppercut states that is what it will do, and it does. However, here are some things to be aware of before you buy/use this pomade: Texture-wise, it is very light and creamy and spreads though hands and hair fairly easy. However, once the product gets into your hair, it begins to set very quickly and leaves little room for re-working after the initial application (perhaps one area where the original Uppercut Deluxe pomade delivers better). Unless you apply this to wet or slightly damp hair, be prepared for some fly-away hairs and a tougher time shaping or combing your desired hairstyle. You don't need much to apply it decently, so that's good in the sense that you shouldn't go through the tin quickly if you use it on a daily basis. If you have longer or thicker hair than mine, your findings may be different and you'll probably need more product. As for the product smell, it is a creme brulee scent, so if you don't enjoy that overly sweet scent, you may not be a fan. Once it's in your hair, the smell isn't as noticeable though. Regarding the strength of the hold, I'd say it's very much borderline medium to firm hold. Unless you apply a light dusting of hairspray afterward like I do, you may want something with a stronger hold such as the Uppercut Monster Hold or Baxter's matte clay pomade. I'll also say that if you are one to re-style or run your fingers through your hair throughout the day as I do sometimes, the hold is not as strong and eventually your hair will begin to shift/lay more naturally on your head, which is good if you want that 90s, floppy/unstyled hair look. It is a matte finish as advertised, so the shine is also minimal unless you're applying to damp hair. The stuff also washes pretty easy off your hands and out of your hair with a shower, so I had no issues there. So overall, the product works as advertised but you may need to adjust your finishing techniques or expectations to use it in the long term.

Holy Grail — WOW this stuff is amazing. I have thick wavy hair and this is perfect.-the hold is perfect, never feels heavy-it smells insane like insane I wanna eat it. like toffy or caramel-doesn’t leave residue and easy to wash out-has a perfect natural matte finish-lasts all day and night ;)What more could you ask for?

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Phenomenal product

My barber uses this, but it’s so much more expensive at his shop. This has a medium to strong hold. On my hair, which is thick and very coarse it holds very well.
