Review:
The claim for this product:
This satiny pomade repels moisture from your hair, helping to prevent frizziness and flyaways. Tames curls to give hair a polished look. Excellent in humid weather. Work through hair before or after styling.
I mentioned in my last hair straightening post that I used this pomade along with the Damage Control. This is definitely an awesome combo. Though the damage control acts as a heat protectant, it does not really help out with reversion. It just doesn’t stand up very well against humidity.
The pomade, on the other hand, really did the trick! I was very pleased that in the 90% humidity, that I did not have any reversion that I could tell. My hair had a lot of shine and movement.
I used a good deep conditioner before hand to ensure my hair was moisturized since this keeps moisture out of your hair. It also has a monster ‘cone in it which can be horrible on my hair.
Now…when I think of pomade, I think of hair “grease” and this is essentially grease. It’s pretty heavy, so keep that in mind. Also, this stuff is danged expensive. I had a sample of it from a friend, but I will wince when buying this again. However, a little went a long way for me, so it may be worth the price.
But the results are fantastic.
Thanks for reading! Remember that our hair is a gift and that it can blossom and grow if we take good care of it. If you have questions, want to share your story, or just want to say hi, please email me at kcurly@newlynatural.com

Nice shine though

I used the anti-humectant pomade all the time when I was relazed, before switching over to Keracare. My complaint with it was the cost and that the store was clear on the other side of town at our ritzy mall.
