Lockhart’s Paradox Water-Based Pomade - Handcrafted Water-Based Pomade for Men - Highly Nourishing, No Greasy Residue - Firm Hold, Medium Shine - Aqua Di Goon Scent (3.4oz.)

By far the best water based pomade I've ever used. Super easy to apply. Looks and has the ease of both styling and restyling of an oil based pomade without the hassle that comes with those. Scent is good, though light. Another grand slam from Lockharts.

Looks greasy, firm hold, but water based. 90ish% of the functionality and attitude of classic rockabilly with about 20% of the hassle. Phenomenal aroma too.

Works well, shiny, but not that much hold for curly hair. Smell is completely cucumber rather than a cucumber scented product, but doesn’t smell bad and the smell fades after application.

Works great. Great scent too.

I like the feel of this pomade in my hair. Makes my hair feel soft and manageable. The hold is definitely not a strong hold. Doesn't last all day, and makes my hair look dry at the end of the day.

I'm always pleased to support a quality, well-made product from a small craft business. This pomade gives me just the hold I need and has a subtle, pleasant aroma. I recommend this product and the company!

My hair: Thick straight hair. People say I have Asian like hair.Goal: To slick to the side/back just with hands and have a natural wet messy look to it. Have natural move. I didn’t want a gel stuff look. I didn’t want greasy look either.Goal Achieved: The product is nice and consistent. One finger amount goes a long way with damped hair. No flakes. Fair volume and wet look throughout the day. I can pass may hands/fingers thoroughly and not have anything on my hand.SMELL: not strong, but it’s alright. I’d like more scent. One full point off because of that.STRENGTH: I’d say 7/10 for sure.Maybe just a bit more shine to it, just a tad bit more. But as it is I really like it.For a natural messy look. THIS IS IT. I am happy with the product. Earned a Loyal customer.Ps. I’ve always had short hair, thanks to this product I will try long hair styles now because I trust this product will do exactly what I want. And yes it need more scent lol that’s it.I don’t want a strong hold, this is like medium hold. Medium shine.

I've been looking for a water-based pomade that smells nice and doesn't leave too much buildup, and Lockhart's Paradox has fit the need perfectly. The scent reminds me of cologne, but isn't overwhelming or offensive like some other pomades can be.As someone who only shampoos a couple times per week to avoid hair damage, this pomade is perfect. It almost completely rinses out with just water, and it doesn't leave my hair oily or waxy. After applying, I only need to rinse my hands with water, and I can even run my hands through my hair throughout the day without worrying about sticky residue.If I could give this product a downside, I'd say that it might be too lightweight for some people. I have thick hair with a lot of volume, so I usually don't need to apply too much product. But when I apply Paradox to towel-dried hair, I often need an extra smidge for it to work well all day. However, I think the other benefits outweigh this aspect by a huge margin and I'm excited to have found my new go-to hair product.Thanks Lockhart's!
