REUZEL Green Grease Pomade, Medium All Day Hold, Oil-Based Styling Wax, Medium Shine and Flake Free, Easy To Wash Out, For All Hairstyles

This is a great product, but you have to know how to use it and whether or not it is the best fit for your hair/what look you are going for. I am caucasian with with medium/fine hair. I have a standard side part, and have my hair close on the sides. My usual "go-to" hair product is "Work Hard" molding paste by Redken. Great product that provides strong hold without "stiffness". REUZEL is different from this in that it is a pomade and holds the general shape of your hair, but does not lock it in place, *unless you use a large amount. The thing is though, this product gives your hair a 2-day "unwashed" look with just a small amount. Some people can pull this look off, but you have to be careful, otherwise you just look greasy. The instruction say to apply to "towel-dried" hair, however, I have found that it is better to apply to completely, bone dry hair. If you try to apply this while moisture is present, it pulls on your hair when you try to apply it. Also, this product doesn't glide into your hair like other products, so after you put a dime-sized portion in your hands, rub your hands together to warm it up/thin it out and then grab handfuls of your hair to apply it, starting with the areas that need the strongest hold: Part/callick/bangs. If this is the first time using this product, you might want to try the smaller size first to see if this goes with your hair/style. This product may take a little experimentation/getting use to, so perhaps don't use this for the first time when you're in a rush. The scent is very mild. One reviewer said the scent was too fruity and overpowering. That's just not true. The scent is minor, fresh melon. No stronger than a mild-scented shampoo. I've been using this product off an on for several months, and I have not noticed any increase in skin breakouts/acne that I was concerned about when putting a product on my head that contains the word "grease". In conclusion, this product really does best when it is used either in large quantities to gives a pompadore-style look extreme hold and sheen with thick/full/short hair, or in very small amounts to give a natural 'unwashed' look for thin/medium/long hair. Hope this helps! Any questions, just ask.

I have used many different hair gels, waxes, creams, etc. but I love Reuzel Pomade! First off, it works great holding your hair in place and keeps it's hold all day. Also, you don't have to use a lot of product to get your hair to hold like you would need from other products. It also has a nice apple sort of smell. Even though it's so great at holding your hair in place, it still feels quite soft. Unlike most other products, you can still run your hands through your hair and they don't get stuck in a waxy net of hair. It leaves your hair with a nice dry look, while keeping it stylish. The only thing that I don't like is when you get your hands wet and run them through your hair again, you can feel the grease in your hair and it does have that grippy feel. It is definitely a product worth buying. I would advise to others it's use.

update: Works well in the heat- it was 98 degrees this week and I think that the high beeswax content of Reuzel keeps it holding in the heat much better than a purely petroleum based pomade.Spendy, at $15, but worth it. Bought this after seeing it promoted on youtube videos and a few pomade sites. Seems like there is always a flavor-of-the-month with pomades. This stuff is worth the hype. Smells mellon-y to me, maybe like an apple/mellon bubble gum. It is probably too firm/strong for me because I have light brown, fine, "white-boy" hair- but that is good because I will just use less and it will last longer.Since it is in a beeswax base, it isn't greasy like a petroleum based pomade. The best example of that is that a petroleum pomade will make the floor of the shower slick and this beeswax pomade will not. Also, with petroleum pomades, anything airborne will tend to be collected in my hair. Car hair, dog hairs, pollen, lint, mistress hairs, confetti, loose sequins, glitter, sand, [that was a helluva party] will somehow find your hair and go for a ride. The beeswax stuff is ~there~ and it will be obvious that you have pomade in your hair; but if your head touches something it will not leave a greasy mark on a pillow/car headrest/couch in the lapdance room.(Even if you don't pick this Reuzel- do yourself a favor and get away from gels that dry and leave flakes. The pomades moisturize your scalp and prevents you from throwing actual dandruff (from the cheap gels that dry your skin) and flakes of dried gel that looks just like dandruff.)I'm trying many (about 12) different pomades while I try to find my go-to and the Reuzel is at the top of my list so far.It smells so good that when I get to work in the morning, I just want to sit in the car with the heat on so that I can enjoy the scent.

The quest for the perfect pomade is half the fun. Like seeking the perfect martini.For those who prefer oil based, this product is exceptional. Great hold, decent shine, subtle scent, and hair remains soft and stylable most of day.Another fave is Dax Wave and groom. Didn't care for Lockhart's Goon grease ---- too much wax in formula. Left hair dry and hard in a few hours.

I don't go for a slick, pomadey, pompadour look but simply want something to use to smooth our some frizziness after I use a blowdryer. Reuzel Green works great for that -- I can put on a *small* amount after drying my hair and it keeps my hair from frizzing/curling back up. It isn't really shiny unless I use a larger amount too, so it's easy to start small and add a little more if needed. One 4oz tin last a very long time with this kind of use.Being oil-based, it goes through your hair very smoothly too (vs a denser fiber or clay) -- hair won't feel like it's being pulled out.People say there's a green apple smell and that's definitely true. It's not my favorite (I like less sweet smells), but it's subtle and no dealbreaker for sure -- much better than than Reuzel White Clay's nauseating white chocolate peppermint smell.
