Mister Pompadour Natural Beeswax Paste | Matte Hair Product for Men & Women | HIgh Hold & No Shine | Water Based - Easy To Wash | 2oz

I really like this product. I've only used it for a few days but already I'm a fan. I'm not very keen on paying 20$ for only 2 ounces, but this is the best wax I've yet used (in all fairness, I haven't tried more than maybe 3 waxes, but still). PROS: 1. a little goes a long way. i have hair maybe 7 inches long on top, from front to back (shorter as it goes back) (hair type: straight, thick) and I'm maybe only using a quarters sized dab for the hold that i need to get me through the day. 2. great hold (i'd rate it 7.5 out of 10). i don't use this as a pre-styler (for that, I use volumizing mousse) but rather i use it as a finishing product, into completely dry hair (achieved with a blowdryer). 3. you hairstyle can be adjusted throughout the day - the hold remains strong, and it's easy to run your fingers through your hair without tugging or feeling weighed down. (for the most part) ---as a side note to this, i work as a vet tech, and i do a lot of bending, leaning, positioning myself in ways that means my hair might fall out of place - the hold of this product isn't on the level of hairspray or gel, but the tradeoff is that your hair remains feeling light and natural and workable, and can be put back into place with effective hold. gel and hairspray gives you crunchy/crispy feeling hair and that's not what i'm after. 4. the smell. my god, this stuff smells so good. this product smells to me like vanilla icecream or yogurt. vanilla for sure, but to me it has to be some kind of creamy, dairy infused vanilla scent. anyways it's amazing, and i think a lot of people would enjoy the smell of it. CONS: 1. applying it into blow-dried hair is easy enough, but you will experience some tugging and drag as you work it in. this is only a con if this is how you apply it. i didn't care for it as a pre-styler (I found it didn't give my hair as much volume as i wanted) and as a water soluble product, i feel that applying it into damp hair gives you a weaker hold than what is intended. 2. i wish the jar was a little bit bigger for 20 dollars. i'm not sure how long this will last me, but at the rate i'm going through it (using a little bit of it every day), i'd say it'll last a month, maybe? i'll try to remember to update this review when i run out of it. 3. it takes some time for the wax to 'set'. after applying it, your hair will feel a bit clumpy or weighed down, but as you brush or finger-comb it into place, your hair will feel lighter and less 'full of product'. at this point you can then run your fingers through it and re-position or style it as you want. 4. you may experience some tugging or resistance when re-styling well after the product has 'set' and your day has gone on. i'm not sure if this is because my personal regiment needs adjusting or i need to add different products/change quantities, but i've felt some substantial resistance on a few occasions. however this is far from a deal breaker for me because it's only in certain areas where i might feel a snag - for the most part, it's easy to run my fingers through. 5. this isn't a product specific con, but in general - it's going to take some experimentation to find out what works for you and how to most effectively use the product to get what results you want. this is often dictated by other parts of your hair care regiment (what shampoos/conditioners you use, how often you shampoo/condition, what other products do you use as pre-stylers (mousse, oil, texture paste/powder, etc). overall i recommend this product. it might not work so good for people with curly hair. it gives me the hold i need and i'm able to keep my hairstyle up throughout the day with a nice, subtle shine and great smell that won't quit until after i've clocked out.

So far, my favorite product. Getting it out of the container is similar to other hard waxes. For those that have not tried hard pastes/waxes before, this will come a little surprising. On the instructions printed on the container, it hints towards this when it mentions to "work vigorously" into hands. On that note, you have to manhandle this stuff. This isn't a con; it's an instruction. Pretend you're making fire with your hands for a second. Rub that sh*t together like you have a pair. It has the right amount of hold for what I want. It doesn't have hormonal teenager stiff gel hold. It doesn't have Wayne Static spiking hold. It holds the general shape and volume and adds some texture good for pompadour or similar hairstyles. You can play with it throughout the day without losing much effectiveness. Water-soluble, so it doesn't hold up incredibly well after getting drenched in the rain, but who gives a sh*t. If you do: buy an umbrella. It's not easy to get completely out of your hair in one sitting. Who cares? The residuals are not going to affect you. You shouldn't be treating your hair like your laundry anyway. Your girlfriend/boyfriend/mother might care about skidmarks left in your briefs or white stains in your socks, but no one's going to be having a pained conversation with you about hair product residuals. You won't even notice after you dry your hair anyway. Side note: I'm not joking, stop trying to get every microscopic bit of oils and hair product out of your hair. You'll ruin it. Shampoo is serious sh*t. A jar won't last as long as a hard wax would, so the price isn't as appealing, but it certainly isn't a deal-breaker. I'd say price is fair. (currently $20/2 oz) To conclude: Medium hold, barely any extra shine, withstands the day sans rain, cost-effective enough, women love it, smell makes me hungry.

I've been using Mister Pompadour Natural Beeswax Paste for a decade. I gave it 5 stars becasue it was a quality product made from quality natrual ingredients that had a premium texture and scent. Over time, the product got more expensive, but I continued purchasing it because it was a premium product. However, about six months ago, I ran out of this hair product (Natural Beeswax Paste) and was using Mister Pompadour Moroccan Texture Paste in the interim. When I finally saw that Natural Beeswax Paste was back in stock, I stocked up in case it sold out again. Sadly, the Natural Beeswax Paste has a new formular that is not the same. It's not the same color, texture, consistency, or scent. It lacks the premium-ness that the original formula had. Sadly, for the price, there may be better options. My low rating is also influenced by the fact that no where on the website or email communciations does it say or display that this product significantly changed from the previous version. In that sense, I felt like I was duped into purchasing what I thought was the original Natural Beeswax Paste. Note: The Moroccan Texture Paste also had a change in formula. Sadly, I could write the same thing about that product as I wrote for this one.

I've been using this product for about 3 months now, and I absolutely love it. It has a very nice, subtle scent. It's hold is adequate. It's appearance is great and it has a very nice consistency that makes it easy to massage into your hands. Although this product is advertised for high hold, I find that, for my hair length (goes down to the bottom of nose) it's not as strong. If you're someone with hair not longer than mine then this product should perform as desired.

I just love this product so much.This is my first hair product ever used!!! This product is amazing. I have thin hair which is bad. But when I used this product, I felt some thickness in the hair which is awesome. It has great hold and natural matte finish.This product impressed me at the very first time. I strongly recommend this product and works absolutely fantastic!!!

I was skeptical about the authenticity of this product but because I have been using Amazon for a long time now. I decided to buy this. I came to know about this product from YouTube and I tried their site to order this but they don't deliver to India so after waiting for so many months finally I saw this on amazon and I ordered it. Just received it today and it smells super good. Matt finish and high hold but it's a kinda hold u can play with and manage. Gives great texture to your hair. Delivery was before the expected date and this product comes in a glass jar. Paraben free and made up of all the good organic ingredients. It is costly no doubt but buy this rather than buying any other product. Thank you Amazon Thank you Mister pompadour

Smells like VANILLA SCENTED CANDLE not Citrus like advertised. 😠

The product is good no doubt but, it's slightly on the expensive side considering the quantity. One bottle lasts roughly around 2 months. The hold seems to go away after a while but, I believe that's more go to do with the hot and humid climate rather than the product.

nice product , medium to high hold ...also its parabeeen free...restylable throughout the day...love it..and it gives you a nice matte finish..guys give it a try..
