   Nice and different fragrance, smells like liquorice. Interesting light and fluffy product with a gritty texture that breaks down well in the hands and becomes more creamy. I got the heavy hold, which I think holds more like a strong medium. Seems like it needs to have more wax content to be a true heavy hold. Regardless, it was enough hold for my medium thickness, naturally wild hair. Takes a decent amount for my longer hair, which makes a dent in the contents of the tin fast. So it’s a bit pricey, although certainly high quality. The labels are poor quality thick sticker, so that could use some work, but whatever.
   I love the all natural aspect, the smell, and nice build up too. However, I think comparable products like O’ Doud’s or Flagship water based have a leg up. I still recommend trying this one out though.

   REVIEW: STRONG HOLD

   SCENT
   Vanilla-tobacco, sweet but not overpowering. You’ll smell it once in a while throughout the day.

   SCOOPING, MIXING
   The pomade has a yellowish color. A little bit of pressure is needed to scoop it out but it is not that difficult. It has a grainy dry texture but it becomes creamy when mixing in your hands immediately.

   APPLICATION
   On damp hair. No tug and pull at all. It goes in easy and a few scoops are enough to style your hair nicely. It gives a stable but not too heavy grip.

   SHINE
   A nice medium shine when recombing it even gives a little bit more shine for me.

   HOLD IN NORMAL AND (HEAVY) WEATHER CONDITIONS
   It has a good hold. Heavy wind and some rain don’t destroy your hair. It endures the heat (till 104). Holds the hair in place most of the day. A few strays but that’s it. It feels rich but not heavy in the hair. It tames my manes.

   RESTYLING
   No problem. There is a little bit of sagging and a very small loss of hold after recombing but that’s ignorible.

   BUILD UP
   I wash out the most of it every day so I have no real build up. What stays in the hair, feels clean.
   WASHING OUT
   You need 2-3 shampoos to wash it out completely because it’s a beeswax based. When using water and a conditioner or an orthodox water based, the most is out of your hair and it feels conditioned. Complete wash out: your hair feels healthy and soft afterwards.

   CONCLUSION
   This is a high quality conditioning pomade for an okay price and it’s a hand made brew. It’s very workable and restyling is not a problem. No tug and pull. Nice medium shine. You do not need much for a great result so you can do a long time with it. Weather has not that bad influence to mess up your hair. So buy it! You won’t regret it at all !

   This stuff smells amazing, holds all day, and can be re-combed throughout the day. It needs a little warm water and a good shampooing to get out, but it comes out with a single wash. Over all, great stuff.
