To preface this review, I have straight, thick Asian hair (medium-long combover) and I work in the hospital as a nurse so I need something that'll last the running around and helping patients move. Best rated pomades I've tried in that order: Imperial's Classic Pomade, THIS Rocky Mountain Barber Company, then Suavecito's Firme Hold.FINAL AVG. SCORE: 9.4/10Summary: Strong hold, semi-matte finish. VERY light scent. Easily workable into hair. Washes out easily.Breakdown:Hold: 10/10. As above, this thing keeps my thick, straight Asian hair in a flawless combover during a 12 hr shift as a RN.Smell: 8/10. Has a VERY light scent, which is a good and bad thing. Good if you don't want something overpowering like Suavecito, but bad if you want a great smelling product.Workability: 10/10. Consistency is just like Imperial's pomade (maybe even thicker). Applies to hair pretty evenly so you'll be able to style your hair as your please and lets gravity do its thing, making your hair flow nicely, but has GREAT hold. Doesn't dry too quickly (but not too slow) so you can take your time and style how you want it without rushing.Sheen: 9/10 (for my personal taste). Dries on semi-matte, as advertised. I like ultra matte products like Hanz de Fuko's claymation (which is my favorite product when I have short-medium hair).Washability: 10/10. Washes right out with water alone, even before applying shampoo. Probably the easiest to wash out out of all the pomades I've tried!Restyling: Have not tried to restyle. Will update ASAP. Read more

I like the hold of this, but it gave me rashes on my head. same effect as Suavecito Pomades.. anyone know what ingredients cause this? Read more

This product has a lot going for it that I think more people should take notice of.First: This pomade is very good. It works great with my hair. On the tin it says that it is "firm hold". Rocky Mountain has other products like clay and paste but they all say "Firm Hold". I would say that the pom has a slightly stronger hold than other major brands that I've used, so you will use less of it. But the hold is excellent.Second, You get more for your money. Rocky Mountain has a great price point, but on top of that you get 5oz in the tin. Most major brands are 4oz or less. Rocky gives you a little more, and I'm glad.Third, The logo and container are really nice. First the container is a metal tin, instead of a plastic jar. Also I like the logo and presentation. This company is based in Canada, which is unique because a lot of the major brands are based in California(I've tried one from New York, Australia, and Holland).One criticism: The pomade has no scent. Other brands will have a citrus, or sandalwood, or something like that. I did see on Rocky Mountain Barber's website that they have a cedar spice scented conditioner. I hope they will add some scents to their other products too.Try this product Read more

I have thick hair that I like to have in a loose, layered style. When it gets to a certain length, I need a firm pomade to make it work. I've tried a lot of different brands and types to find one that is strong enough to give a decent hold, but light enough that I can layer it. This stuff is exactly what I've been looking for. Previously I relied on Reuzel High, but it was a little too strong and I had to cut it with water. This pomade is, I would say, right between a "regular" strength and firm. They really nailed the middle ground here.It's not 100% perfect: the hold doesn't last as long as I'd like (generally good for about ~10 hours), and the clumping thing that others have pointed out is definitely true. I brush it in with a comb and that helps, but sometimes I need to use a little water to un-clump it. Neither of these issues are enough to make me not want to use it anymore.A big consideration here is the price. This stuff is very inexpensive per ounce compared to other, similar pomades, and with no loss in quality. The branding and the metal tin it comes in are nice. Others have commented on the smell (good and bad), but I honestly hardly even notice it, and I've got a pretty strong nose. There's maybe a very light sharpness, but that's it. Maybe I'm just totally insensitive to the fragrance, but I get nothing from it.Altogether:+ Great value for a quality product+ Excellent for thick hair+ Strong hold that is also flexible+ Nice tin/attractive branding+/- You may or may not like (or even notice) the smell- Not super long-lasting- Mild clumpingThe two negatives are really minor. 10 hours is an acceptable length of time before needing to re-apply, and clumping is a common problem across brands. So it's not perfect, but I haven't yet found a pomade that is. The price you pay for what you get here is excellent, and I've finally found the holy grail between hold and flexibility. This will for sure be my new standard when my hair gets long enough that regular strength doesn't cut it. Read more

My beard is curly, and what I wanted was for something that provided a firm hold, without drying and flaking or powdering out 15 minutes after application. I was hesitant at first just due to the fact it appears we go from one product to the next with each and everyone saying its going to do what you want, only to find out it doesn't completely fit the bill. This Pomade is what worked for me. Wet the beard lightly, apply as needed, comb through if you need and done. I can go all day with this Pomade in and not have to worry about looking like an unkempt ruffian by the time I get home at the end of the day..... which is my normal look anyway but for the sake of work and social events, its nice to have something that finally works.

An excellent hair pomade which unlike other pomades does not leave a sticky residue in your hair. In comparison to other hair gels of this nature and quality, it is not too expensive. It gives your hair a nice little shine.The pomade has a fairly strong hold and it does last the full 24 hours, if not longer. However, I wouldn't recommend keeping it in your hair for that long for obvious reasons. Ultimately it is a good hair pomade that works as described.If you found my review helpful, please click the "Yes" button to state this so I know its been a help to someone. Thank you! Read more

Item arrived well packed and undamaged.This is a very good product but not it doesnt hold as strong as i would like. Smell is great and the price tag is not as bad as other similar products. The texture is not what im used to as it feels more airy and less compact when compared to other products but its not something to be concerned about.Overall is a nice product and i would recommend it for people with normal thickness hair.

Got for my dad. Contacted the company direct but they only sell on Amazon for now in the UK, there communication was nice. Dad seems to like it so will buy it for him again Read more

Did not like this pomade at all. The hold is dry & hard and living in Canada it hardens up quickly outside in cold weather conditions. I find that if you have really thick hair you also have to re-apply product or water to keep it down which defeats the purprose of a pomade. I prefer layrite pomade and would not repurchase or recommend this product. 1/5 stars. Read more

The pomade is good, has a firm hold if this is what you require, can be restyled with a touch of water, not bad Read more
