All pomades are not made equal. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this pomade was not your typical pomade…it’s not sticky, it doesn’t stiffen or weigh your hair down and it doesn’t have a harsh smell. It’s truly light weight and does not interfere with my styling gel or styling foam. It’s great to be able to moisturize my scalp and hair and not worry about white or yellow flaky residue when being combined with my other styling products. It also doesn’t tint my grey hair, which is a Win!! Great buy.
