Rocky Mountain Barber Company Pomade for Men - 5 oz Tub Classic Styling Product with Strong Firm Hold for Side Part, Pompadour & Slick Back Looks – High Shine & Easy to Wash Out – Water Based

For a point of reference I have thick straight hair that is difficult to style. I style my hair in a side part with a small pomp. I have tried many products over the years in search of a product that would hold my hair in place without having to restyle throughout the day. I have tried different brands, some more expensive than others. For this review I will compare Rocky Mountain pomade to Suavecito Firme. I feel this pomade is a direct competitor to that pomade. For starters I want to point out that prior to using Rocky Mountain Pomade, Suavecito Firme was one of the pomades I used regularly. I was quite satisfied with Suavecito Firme until I started to notice that it was damaging my hair. This product was drying my hair too much, which resulted in loss of volume in my hair. A quick glance at the Suavecito ingredients and one can see exactly how harmful this stuff is for hair. Enter Rocky Mountain Pomade. Ingredient wise, this stuff is much better for your hair.HoldIn comparison to Suavecito Firme, the Rocky Mountain pomade is not as strong. In comparison, Suavecito Firme would be a 10/10, whereas Rocky Mountain would be an 8/10. This does not mean that Suavecito is better in the hold category. For the hairstyle and thick hair that I have, the solid 8/10 hold that Rocky Mountain provides is more than enough. The other advantage this pomade has is the time it takes to "set". Both pomades harden after a while since both of them are water based. Some users will not like this. Personally I want a product that will harden up so I don't have to worry about my hair throughout the day. That being said, Suavecito Firme begins to harden at a quicker rate than Rocky Mountain. Rocky Mountain allows you more time to style your hair and get the desired look without having to use water to reactivate the pomade. Another plus for Rocky Mountain is when it hardens up, it is not as hard and dry like Suavecito Firme.ApplicationThis one I have to give to Suavecito Firme. Suavecito Firme is a thicker pomade than the Rocky Mountain pomade, yet Suavecito Firme breaks down easier when you are rubbing it in your hands. This means that applying it to your hair will be easier and will allow you to coat your hair with the product with greater ease. I have been using Rocky Mountain Pomade for three weeks now and I have noticed that if you do not heat up the pomade enough when rubbing it in your hands, it can clump up when applied to the hair. Rocky Mountain is easy to apply, but not as easy as SuavecitoWashabilityThis one goes to Rocky Mountain. Both Pomades wash out easy, but Rocky Mountain is almost instant when the water hits your hair.ScentSuavecito Firme has a very strong scent. It smells like a cheap cologne. I personally like the scent, but you do get whiffs of the scent throughout the day. Rocky Mountain is marketed as not having a scent. It does have a scent, but its very light. It smells like chemicals. I do not mind the scent, but I would personally like them to add an actual light fragrance to it.I highly recommend this pomade. If you like Suavecito Firme, this would definitely be an upgrade. Rocky Mountain has better ingredients and you get more product for less money.

Just started using this product and at first the scent like another review I read said it does have a CK1 like scent to it that takes a little getting used to. It's a nice scent but it is a little strong and scent lasts the whole day especially if you do anything like exercise that will warm up your body temp it just makes the scent strong again. But for some that might be exactly what they are looking for and it does work really great at keeping your style in place all day and washes out of your hair at night with just water, no need to re-shampoo. I actually just run my head under the kitchen faucet so I don't have to even take a shower and then bam your done and ready to go to bed.

The product is great it holds great and lasts all day and into the night. Washed out in one shot No residue it’s just awesome!

I have been a regular user of pomade to style my hair for roughly 3 years now and have consistently encountered two problems when purchasing pomade:1.) Price2.) Inconsistent HoldSo, when it was time to start the pomade hunt for a new brand (once again) after going through my latest overpriced and small can (2oz) of pomade I came across the Rocky Mountain Barber Company brand. After reading the reviews, users seemed pleased enough with the result, however, what caught my eye is that the can is 5oz in size and priced comparably to other brands! For those that don't understand why this is significant, the average pomade can is 2oz; so, for the same price as a 2oz can, the Rocky Mountain Barber Company was offering a can that was 2.5x the size of the competition! The value alone made it worth trying.I have been using the product for about a week now and I have been extremely pleased. The hold seems to have that mythical middle ground between what other brands labeled "Extra Firm" and "Regular" that I was never able to find with other brands and has allowed me to shape and style my fair without my hair turning in to the texture of cement or a limp noodle. The pomade provides a little amount of shine (which I like) that does show you have used some product, without an excessive shine that I find to be overkill. I can only speak for myself, but I have not noticed any flaking.For the first time in a long time, I am 100% satisfied with a pomade purchase and, barring something unforeseen, have found a pomade brand that is worth my loyalty to as a customer. If anyone reading this is either looking for a new pomade brand to try or just using it for the first time, you cannot go wrong with this value.

This product applies easy, holds well, and washes out like nothing. I've used Suavecito firme hold for years, but lately it hasn't been keeping its hold like it used to. As someone who has super curly hair, i depend on this stuff to keep my hair straight and looking clean. Even though the hold did not harden like Suavecito or Layrite, it still kept the shape and look of what i wanted when i styled it. I was also surprised to see that my hair did not frizz or lose it's shape after a couple of times of putting on my motorcycle helmet. Honestly for the price it's worth trying it out.
