BASED BODYWORKS Pomade for Men, Quality Hair Care with Medium Hold, Natural Shine & Fragrance, Easy to Apply & Great for All Hair Types, Hydrating and Nourishing Pomade (3 Oz Pack of 1)

its the real thing no fake

I’ve tried more hair products than I can count—gels that flake, waxes that feel greasy, and pomades that either smell overpowering or lose their hold halfway through the day. This BASED Pomade honestly surprised me in the best way. The first thing I noticed was the texture—smooth, not sticky, and it scoops out easily without feeling like you’re digging through candle wax. It spreads evenly through my hair and doesn’t clump. The hold is exactly what they promise: medium. My hair stays in place all day, but it still has natural movement instead of that stiff “helmet” look. The shine is subtle, giving my hair a healthy finish instead of that artificial gloss some pomades leave behind. Even after a long workday, my hair still looks styled but not crunchy. Big bonus: it washes out cleanly without leaving buildup, which is rare with pomades. Scent-wise, it’s light and fresh—not cologne-heavy, not sweet, just clean. My partner even complimented it, which says a lot because she usually hates hair product smells. After a week of daily use, I also noticed my hair felt softer and healthier, almost like it has conditioning properties built in. Definitely not something I expected from a styling product. ✅ Pros: Smooth application, no flakes or clumps Natural shine, not greasy Reliable medium hold all day Easy to wash out Light, pleasant fragrance Actually feels nourishing ❌ Cons: The jar could be a bit bigger (I’m already planning to reorder) Overall, this is the first pomade I’ve tried in years that balances performance, look, and feel. It’s become my everyday go-to, and honestly, it feels like a premium product without the premium price tag.

Not sure what all the fuss is about. This stuff smells nice but is greasy, doesn't hold well and leaves hair looking lifeless.

This stuff is all the craze with all the high schoolers. It pretty stiff to get out of the container. Once you get a small amount you rub it between your hands so it goes on your hair easier. It holds pretty good though out the day. The scent is pleasant and it’s not greasy. Works well for the messy hair look and it holds pretty good.

Terrible lingering smell, doesn’t even work properly
