O'Douds All Natural, Handcrafted Traditional Pomade - Oil Based Hair Pomade for Men - Original Hold, High Shine Finish for Classic Slick Back, Side-Part and Pompadour Looks, 4oz

Really a wonderful product! First off, being a guy and finding a proper hair styling product isn't easy, and coming from a Cosmetology and modeling family I've worked with numerous amounts of products depending on my current hair type, style, hold, and texture needed for that day. Functionally, this product is what a original hold type should be. Holds the style in which is desired throughout the day, but doesn't create a hold so hard that you can't run your hands threw your hair. Aroma, this product is lovely, has a very distinct smell that I have not found before, not to over powering, but enough to be noticeable for several hours afterward. Being that this a oil based product, many people find similar products hard to wash out, THIS IS NOT THE CASE for this one. It provides the hold and feel expected in a oil based pomade, but the washable ability of a water based pomade. Finally, I would say it is a nice medium shine that provides the appearance of healthy well nourished hair.

Does the job! Smells meh... will try probably go back to the stronger Forrest scent hold.

I have fairly wavy hair with cowlicks but O'Douds tames it and makes it look great! Initially I was shocked by how solid it was within the jar, but after putting a little effort into scooping it out it is some of the easiest to apply pomade I have ever used. It should also be noted that this does not wash out easily, which is to be expected of a more waxy pomade. It'll last through a couple of showers before you lose all of its styling properties.It smells great, looks great with a medium shine, and holds like a boss. Highly recommended!

Another hair product that I just had to try. I am sure this works for many, but not for me. The product is extremely thick and immediately flattened my hair and just sat there. I tried heating it, etc., but still the same. It is definitely designed for "hold" but if your hair has any texture, this will remove it and basically a flat pancake on your head. The smell is not obnoxious, but the camphor like smell is like grannies arthritis rub. I'm not walking around with that small wafting from my head. Bad purchase. My search continues.

I didn't like this product as much as O'Douds water based equivalant. For the most part, they give you the same look and hold. This one is a little bit shinier and smells worse though. It also tended to give me an itchy scalp, and some dandruff. The water based product doesn't have the same effect on me.

I ordered this pomade twice - once about a year ago and again last week when I was close to running out. I really loved the scent, texture and hold the first time and was happy to pay $2 more for a product I knew and loved.This morning I began opened up the new product to begin using it and was horribly disappointed. First, I noticed that top layer of the pomade was hard and crusted, and I could barely get any out of the jar. What I was able to get out I rubbed between my hands, only to the find that the smell was pungent and chemical-like, not at all like the pleasant bay rum scent of the first jar. Confused, I closely compared the jars to see if I had mistakenly ordered the wrong product. They both were labelled O'Douds Original, but the more recently ordered jar had a label that was faded and worn, presumably by age. Furthermore, the jars and lids had slightly different shapes, and I noticed that the rim of the more recently ordered jar seemed to have cracks and loose glass stuck in old, crusted pomade around the rim.I suspect that what happened is when I ordered the product they found an ancient jar that had been sitting around in a warehouse for several years, and didn't bother to consider that the product can go bad with age or that the manufacturer had changed its formula and packaging over time. But now I don't feel comfortable taking my chances ordering from Amazon again only to receive the same terrible quality product.

Excellent product! Very easy to work with and holds my hair in place all day. I find it rinses out easily when I wash my hair. Best of all it's all natural and smells great. Better then American Crew any day!

I've been using O'Douds Standard and Multi-purpose pomade for a while, but I decided I wanted to try something new with this. I have fairly long and fine hair on top, and I think this makes my hair look good, but it doesn't have as much hold as the standard and maybe even the multi-purpose. With long hair it really doesn't hold it in place, but I still think it looks good so I guess I'll use it when I want a more loose, rocker kind of look. The other thing is it's very hard to wash out -- I can shampoo my hair three times and it still doesn't feel like it's completely gone. I guess I don't understand how people use oil-based pomade every day, because I can't imagine not washing my hair every day. Still, I like the product and O'Douds makes great products in general.

awesome product for the hair. all natural product with a great classic finish. best pomade in the market for me. n trust me i know pomades. Just great stuff
