Great for VERY thick, straight hair
This stuff is awesome. After using primarily junk pomaded from the grocery store (axe, Dove, Suave, etc etc, I've tried most of them) and having to supplement that with hairspray to get my hair to hold, I decided to spend a little more and get something with better. I started doing some research and was drawn to this.I ultimately decided to go with the Firme Hold because my hair is incredibly thick and very straight, making it difficult to style the way I want without have crusty, nasty hair. This stuff is a god send. I find myself using no more than a penny-Nickel size amount on one finger, then rubbing onto my hands and finger tips and it does the job. This is much less than I am accustomed to using. It also leaves my hair feeling soft and healthy looking. The best part? It's water activated and water soluble, meaning if you find your hair starting to go flat in the day, just put a little (and I mean little) water on your hands and lightly run through your hair to get more hold. At the end of the day, it washes out with extreme ease. Also, it smells really good (kind of a cologne smell, but it's not overly strong. You wouldn't be able to smell it on someone unless you were hugging).Here are some very important tips if you have a hard time due to thick, straight hair. Lightly towel dry your hair leaving it damp and squirt a couple shots of Argan Oil into your palm and work into wet hair, styling the way you want. You'd be amazed at the level of shine and hold just doing this gives you, drastically reducing the amount of styling paste or pomade you need (also, it's really good for your hair). Then blow dry. Yes, I said blow dry. This is the single most important step. Blow dry your hair in the way you want it styled. If you want good hair, you need to man up and be willing to spend the time (for guys it only takes like 3 minutes tops). Also, invest in a good brush with round tips. I recommend the Quiff Brush sold by Uppercut. It adds volume to your hair and also does an incredible job in helping you style your hair. Lastly, put your pomade in. If you followed the above steps, you should find that you need less pomade for the hold you're trying to achieve. And with having good looking hair, less product is more.Hope that helps. Everyone enjoy!

Smells amazing. Works great.
Just started the hair styling the journey and decided to try a few different products;- Reuzel Extreme Hold- Cremo High Hold Low Shine- Smooth Viking Matte Finish and Medium Hold- Suavecito Pomade Firme (Strong)My hair is straight and typically short and spikey, but I grow it out to test other styles. 2 Tests (Scent, and Hold)Started with Reuzel and although it worked okay it left me wanting more. The hold is strong, but depending on the style it doesn't always last all day. After about 7 or 8 hrs it may need some tweaking. And because its EXTREME you need a splash of water to loosen it up. The scent is described as a subtle sugary rum. Good, but not one I'd seek outHold: B+Scent: B-CremoAffordable which is always a plus: except when the product struggles to perform. Out of the four this one is the hardest to style, least likely to hold shape, and the smell isn't my first, second, or third choice (Maybe Hints of Smoky Vanilla and Tobacco/Bourbon) Can't say I've been a fan of the cremo scents I've tested.Hold: D-Scent: CSmooth VikingMore expensive than the other options. This one is a bit different than the rest because its a cream not a pomade or paste which makes it light and super easy to style. In doing so it sacrfices a bit of hold but its still strong enough under static conditions. However if there's any type of wind, you'll be constantly fidgeting with it. The smell is the worst of the bunch: tobacco scented Elmer's Glue?Hold: C+Scent: DSuavecitoQuite literally saved the best for last. Holy smokes this smells amazing (can't even describe it, but its what pomade should smell like) and the hold works excellent. Lasts all day. No complaints so far.Hold: AScent: A

I finally found a good pomade
I have been using all sorts of stuff. Back in the days I used to use L.A. Looks, then I found out about Rad Wax, then ChampKom Gel, and eventually came across D.J Hair Styling Pomade (Cream) - Matte Look - Professional Formula - The Best Hair Clay for Elastic and Strong Hold - Big Box (7.4 Oz) and thought I had found my best pomade. First couple of purchases were okay, but the last purchase that I received back in December 2016 just felt like inferior quality. The whole top layer of that product was clumped, and no matter how much you would try and smooth-en it out, you just couldn't get it to work. I scraped the inside around until I finally got fed up and looked for a new alternative. Enter Suavecito Pomade Firme Hold. From the moment I opened the lid, I realized the consistency in the product. Even distribution in the jar, no clumping on the top as if the top later was exposed to something that hardened it, and that was definitely not an issue with Suavecito. I used it with sem-wet hair coming out of the shower, it blended into my hair instantly, allowed me to style as necessary (which for me, was simply running my fingers through my hair a bit as I run a high and tight style with shaved sides and a #2 clip on the top), and it gave me the semi-wet look which is what I wanted, it lasted the whole day, and come shower time, it washed out as if it was never in my hair to begin with. I got these same results for the past several days of usage, so this truly has become my #1 pomade. Please, please do NOT change your formula, cut corners, etc. Others have done this and lost customers. With me, you have gained a customer, and I hope that this review helps you gain even more customers.
