TIP TOP Original Water Based Pomade 4.25oz

Wow! I've found a good water-based pomade finally. I've reviewed a few other pomades and have personally used Sauvecito Firme, Sauvecito Premium Blend (matte and regular), Layrite original, Imperial (matte and regular), Rocky Mountain pomade, and a few others. I'm not a pomade expert, but I know what works for me. Like many hair products, what works for me might not for you. A background: Auburn, fair hair. Cut into a side-part/undercut. Fairly basic.Pros:- Spreads easily when warmed in the hand. Goes on easily, slides through damp hair and gets picked up well- Washes out easily as it should (water-based)- Hits a great medium hold.- Can work my fingers through it throughout the day (just pliable enough. Not as good as an oil-based, but definitely satisfactory!)- Very reasonable price per ounce.- Good looking can, if that matters to you.Cons:- Scent isn't great. It's certainly not at all horrible. It's just very mild and unnoticeable after applied. However, I do tend to like pomades that add a little bit of a scent. Minor con though. I'd rather have a product that works than smells great.- Although pliable, I can't say it's the best at re-wetting throughout the day. It does adequately, but I feel like it breaks it down and you're left with having to reapply.- Like many water-based, it requires a bit more product to do the same as an oil-based. You may need to check on it more throughout the day.Overall, I'm very happy. I had been looking for a pliable, medium hold, water-based pomade that didn't break the bank. I feel that this does it. I'll be sticking with Tip-Top for awhile! I hope they come out with some more products and varieties.

My husband and two sons use this every day. It’s a great product with a strong hold that lasts all day! Works on thick and thin hair..Would highly recommend!

I am Italian and have been "blessed" with natural finger waves my whole life. I have probably run through 20 different variations of product to keep my mop in check and looking fresh. I apply this to my damp hair, finger comb it in and let it go. If I work longer than 10 hours I keep an extra one in my desk for a re-apply because it does lose it's grip over the day. There's no tacky residue or staining and it smells pretty neutral to light manly if that's even a thing. Consistent in quality and manufacturing. I have it on auto pilot!

Very happy with this pomade. Very strong hold.

Not bad, I've used a lot of water based pomades. Tip Top is pretty damn good. The thing i really like about this pomade is that it's fragrance is not over the top like a lot of these pomades out there. The scent is gone after about 45 minutes. I wear cologne or aftershave and don't need my hair to smell like something different. The hold is very firm, somewhere close to layrite strong hold. It hardens up a little more than i would like it too, almost gel like by the end of the day leaving my hair a little bit crunchy after a few hours. One major selling point for me is how well this pomade rinses out, and i say rinses not washes out because you don't even need to use shampoo to completely remove this stuff from your hair. Overall a very nice pomade that is on point because of its low fragrance, hold and price.

My husband loves this stuff. He has super curly hair and this works great.

All I use is water based pomades. This one has a nice smell, while not being over-powering. There is a nice bit of shine, without looking greasy. Like most water based pomades, it does stiffen up once it dries, but you can still comb through it, re-wet your hair and its like fresh out of the shower again. It washes out easy, just like it should. It is my new favorite water based pomade.

The product is great. Strong hold and water based. Doesn’t leave residue in your hair. Easy to wash out. My only issue was with shipping. With the summer heat and the way it was packaged the product melted and was partially stuck to the top and sides of the container causing some waste when opening. I would recommend shipping in a box with “this side up” instructions.
