Paste Pomade Medium Hold & Medium Shine Natural Hair Styling Paste for Textured & Refined Looks, 3.4 Oz

I’ve been using this product for several years and really like it. The owner of Victory Crown is my barber and is very talented and knowledgeable which shows in his excellent products.What I like about this cream is that it has a pleasant and mellow smell, works very well to shape hair, while becoming soft and with a dry look as the day goes on—not crispy or greasy at all.One can last me a few months, as you don’t need much for it to be effective as a hair sculpter. It comes out easily in the shower just by rinsing, and doesn’t have build-up issues. Great product and good price on Amazon.

Great matte clay. Has a solid but not sticky hold. Finishes super dry with pretty much no shine at all. Not super heavy either and has a great scent.I’ve noticed for longer hair, it works best to apply while hair is damp/wet to get even coverage and then blow dry for a good matte finish. Works every time

I have been using the Victory Crown paste for several months now. My barber first introduced it to me because I was looking for a pomade that would still allow me to style it throughout the day. I have full but fairly thin hair and most oil based pomades were out of the question. Other water based pomades were too heavy and didn't allow any restyle to it. This allows me to run my fingers through it throughout the day with no issue. I'd actually say it's a bit more than "light hold". I think it's about medium to medium-low. It has a pleasant, very minimal scent. Spreads easily, works easily, and washes off very easily. At around $19 a can, it does tend to be a bit on the upper end of products, but I'll happily pay it because I haven't found anything similar. Clays don't do it, other water-based matte pomades can't do it.For me at least, this is my go to. I've tired countless other brands and pomade types before settling on this (Reuzel, Sauvecito, Tip Top, Imperial, etc).

This is the stuff my hairstylist always recommends for me, and while it is the best matte pomade I've tried that isn't wildly expensive, it doesn't hold THAT well. If I bend over too much, or it's windy out, or anything else happens to disrupt my pompadour, my hair's gonna start parting and falling down on the sides, even with a ton of pomade and hair spray. But my pompadour is higher/longer than the way most men cut their hair, so if you're a man this stuff will probably work for you! If you're a queer woman with a gay haircut and a limited budget, you should probably bring a comb with you to fix it up during the day (I carry around a switchblade comb myself, and my friend told me it would impress girls, but so far I think it's actively repelled women and men alike, so maybe just a normal comb??).Sorry for the weird pictures. The Instagram filtered one is what my hair looks like fresh from the stylist, and the cosplay WIP one is about the best I can get my hair to look with this pomade, before it starts to part halfway through the day.

This is actually a local company near me. For year I tried to find better options (cheaper with the same performance basically) but couldn't. I always come back to Victory Crown.

So easy to add texture and volume. Went into damp hair blew dry and have restyled it a few times with hands. This is what I wanted.

Full disclosure, the owner of this company has been my barber for more years than I can count, and probably since the inception of Victory Crown. While he is a terrific barber with a depth of skill and knowledge, I would not use his product if it sucked. This product (and all of his others I have tried) does not and the reason why is his knowledge and commitment to product formulation and how they work. For me, I am a pretty uncomplicated fella who goes to the barber twice a week and maintains a pretty stright forward, clean cut 'doo on my noggin. I want a product that is stupid easy and no muss, no fuss, and doesn;t look like I have anything in my hair, just good look. This fits the bill and while this is the first one I have purchased via Amazon (for the ease), it is probably my 10th one I have used. If you can't tell, I am a fan of the products, the founder, and the company.

This is my favorite pomade. Great sour apple smell and a good hold. Washes right out!

Da ich immer wieder mal ganz gerne neue Pomaden teste (so bin ich auch zu meiner Lieblingspomade gekommen) habe ich mir zum testen diese Pomade auch bestellt.Das Ergebnis ist leider eher entäuschend.Zunächst handelt es sich bei dieser Pomade, anders als man denken möchte, um eine Pomade auf Wasserbasis. Die Pomade lässt sich von der Anwendung her zudem eher wie ein Gel verarbeiten. Die Haare werden nach kurzer Zeit eher Trocken. Der in der Beschreibung angesprochene Glanz verfliegt schnell. Der angebliche Duft nach saurem Apfel erinnert eher an Waschmittel als nach Apfel.Auch ist leider der Halt der Pomade eher von kurzer dauer. Nach einem halben Tag ist kein wirklicher halt mehr im Haar zu spüren und eine Tolle (sofern man sie hinbekommen hat) oder jede andere hochgestellte Frisur fällt mehr oder weniger zusammen.Einziger Bonuspunkt. Dank der Wasserbasis ist Sie super einfach wieder auszuwaschen. Einmal ins Schwimmmbecken gesprungen und jedliche Spuren der Pomade sind verschwunden.
