Baxter of California Cream Pomade for Men | Natural Finish | Light Hold | Hair Pomade

This pomade is seriously good stuff. Easy to style as you only need a little bit and it holds well yet does not give the spiky look other products will give you; this is best of both worlds. This is exactly what I was looking for, as its not overly obvious that I have product in my hair, but it holds!The scent is also a mild lemon scent, I hate pomades, particularly a very popular one (you can guess which one), that has a awful overpowering smell, like a cheap cologne.I have a mid-skin fade with the top of my hair slightly longer in a sort of faux hawk style (tho i hate the term). I only use a little bit of this stuff, like a tiny scoop with my finger, and its so easy to style my hair. Other products I needed to use more otherwise it looks as if my hair didnt even move. It holds all day, one day I was even outside for 10-20 minutes during noontime with a moderate amount of wind, and my hair still held up past 8pm. I didn't even need to use a bit of water to re-style once I was back indoors. I have done this at night, and while it doesn't make it look completely new, I think for the small amount I use in the morning, this does the trick pretty well and i dont need to re-apply.I was worried that the amount you get is too little, but like I said, you only need a tiny amount, like not even a dime shape, about half of it.

I’ve been using this Baxter of California Pomade for years, ever since my hair stylist recommended it, and it’s truly the best I’ve come across! It gives me a great hold without being too stiff or greasy, and it keeps my hair in place all day while still looking super natural. It’s perfect for creating a polished look without that heavy, slicked-back effect some other pomades give.What I love most is how easy it is to wash off—unlike other products that take forever to rinse out, this one comes off cleanly without any buildup. The consistency is perfect for styling without weighing my hair down, and it’s ideal for both casual and more formal styles.If you’re looking for a pomade that gives a natural finish, holds well, and isn’t greasy, this is the one to get. I’ve been loyal to this product for years and can’t recommend it enough!

I've always had thin/fine hair and have always used hairspray to add some volume and keep it in place., however, after trying this cream pomade, I'm never going back.The pomade gives me a little volume, a light hold, and leaves my hair looking more natural and healthy than hairspray ever did.I'm still trying to figure out how to apply it just right. I've tried putting the cream on my hands and running it through my hair but I didn't care for that look. I found that the best solution for me is to let my hair naturally fall in a style that I like, rub some of the cream in my hands, then sort of run my hands over the surface of my hair. I then use the hair dryer to harden the hold and provide some extra body.It's not an inexpensive product but I imagine that this will last me a few months, and I'm okay with that.There's a very subtle scent to it but it's not off-putting, it smells natural.Overall, I love this product and have been recommending it to all of my friends with thinner-than-normal hair.

Nice hold. Natural matte finish. Lightly fragrances. Easy to comb through or apply tasseled look with fingers. I wear a four buzzer tapered in the sides and longer on the top - can be used for clean part and finish for work or “messy” / tasseled look with fingers. Does darken hair. No shine. And it’s easy to apply “too much”. Less is more. Nice glass case - adds to longevity of product.

This stuff is fantastic. I have extremely thick hair: it tends to defy gravity just by its very nature. All I really need is something to shape it into a presentable form, and this does the trick perfectly. I use it after towel drying my hair, so it's still slightly damp, and that seems to work best for me. Its finish is definitely natural. I had been using BoC's clay pomade, which was a little thick for my hairstyle, and it made my blond hair cling so tightly together that it looked almost brown. This stuff is light enough that it doesn't do that, and it gives my hair just a little bit of a shine, like the kind you always see in commercials for healthy hair products. Overall a very nice product.

This is a picture review for Baxter of California's Cream Pomade, which is billed as "light hold" and "natural finish".In this review, I will be comparing it against 2 other products:* BBA's Moulding Cream* Ouai Dry Texture FoamPlease note that Baxter and BBA are products meant for men, and are pomades. Ouai is a product designed for women, and is a mousse. All of these comparisons were done on completely dry hair, shampooing and conditioning after each attempt.1 - Baxter2 - Baxter with small dab3 - Baxter with small dab applied to hair4 - Baxter with huge dab5 - Baxter with huge dab applied to hair6 - BBA7 - BBA with small dab8 - BBA with small dab applied to hair9 - BBA after using Kenra Finishing Spray #26 to prevent the hair from moving when I toss my hair (note: it failed)10 - Ouai11 - Ouai with small dab12 - Ouai with small dab applied to hair13 - Ouai after using Kenra Finishing Spray #26 to prevent the hair from moving when I toss my hair (note: it succeeded)14 - Kenra Finishing Spray #26CONCLUSIONBaxter fails miserably at doing what it advertises itself as: a natural finish. As you can see in the pictures, my hair was greasy as heck.

I had been using a very similar pomade that I had been purchasing from my barber shop for 3 years. This is a perfect match and it works so well. It leaves a nice strong hold, but my hair is still soft and pliable. Even though it's more expensive than my last product, this is worth the buy.

baxters light hold didn't leave alot of sticky residue. this was important to me. worth the price difference.I compared this to american crew light hold cream pomade which I was looking to replace.
