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.

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.
