Victory Crown Matte Pomade – High Hold, No Shine Styling Wax, 3.4 oz | Matte pomade with strong all-day hold and zero shine. Water-based styling wax for natural, sophisticated looks. 3.4 oz.

Absolute perfection for my hair and style. Excellent hold, matte finish and makes my hair look great. Easy scoop and to smooth in hand. Applies nicely to hair very little tug and pull. Make styling my hair quick and easy. Just excellent all around. Plus nice and subtle scent also something different than most. Performs spectacular all day hold on my messy spiked hair and easy restyle if something happens. Rinses out like a champ with just water on non shampoo days.

I’ve been using this product for several years and really like it. The owner of Victory Crown is my barber and is very talented and knowledgeable which shows in his excellent products. What I like about this cream is that it has a pleasant and mellow smell, works very well to shape hair, while becoming soft and with a dry look as the day goes on—not crispy or greasy at all. One can last me a few months, as you don’t need much for it to be effective as a hair sculpter. It comes out easily in the shower just by rinsing, and doesn’t have build-up issues. Great product and good price on Amazon.

This is the stuff my hairstylist always recommends for me, and while it is the best matte pomade I've tried that isn't wildly expensive, it doesn't hold THAT well. If I bend over too much, or it's windy out, or anything else happens to disrupt my pompadour, my hair's gonna start parting and falling down on the sides, even with a ton of pomade and hair spray. But my pompadour is higher/longer than the way most men cut their hair, so if you're a man this stuff will probably work for you! If you're a queer woman with a gay haircut and a limited budget, you should probably bring a comb with you to fix it up during the day (I carry around a switchblade comb myself, and my friend told me it would impress girls, but so far I think it's actively repelled women and men alike, so maybe just a normal comb??). Sorry for the weird pictures. The Instagram filtered one is what my hair looks like fresh from the stylist, and the cosplay WIP one is about the best I can get my hair to look with this pomade, before it starts to part halfway through the day.

My husband got one of these at the barber shop he goes to and needed more so I snagged this one here and much cheaper. Exactly the same product and works great w/o making his hair feel solid or like gel.

Exactly what I needed. I do now get it cheaper with my barber.

Great matte clay. Has a solid but not sticky hold. Finishes super dry with pretty much no shine at all. Not super heavy either and has a great scent. I’ve noticed for longer hair, it works best to apply while hair is damp/wet to get even coverage and then blow dry for a good matte finish. Works every time

Full disclosure, the owner of this company has been my barber for more years than I can count, and probably since the inception of Victory Crown. While he is a terrific barber with a depth of skill and knowledge, I would not use his product if it sucked. This product (and all of his others I have tried) does not and the reason why is his knowledge and commitment to product formulation and how they work. For me, I am a pretty uncomplicated fella who goes to the barber twice a week and maintains a pretty stright forward, clean cut 'doo on my noggin. I want a product that is stupid easy and no muss, no fuss, and doesn;t look like I have anything in my hair, just good look. This fits the bill and while this is the first one I have purchased via Amazon (for the ease), it is probably my 10th one I have used. If you can't tell, I am a fan of the products, the founder, and the company.

This product couldn't even hold my hair for half a day. Very disappointed. Also still leave residue on hand if touched in the slightest. Into the trash it goes.

Da ich immer wieder mal ganz gerne neue Pomaden teste (so bin ich auch zu meiner Lieblingspomade gekommen) habe ich mir zum testen diese Pomade auch bestellt. Das Ergebnis ist leider eher entäuschend. Zunächst handelt es sich bei dieser Pomade, anders als man denken möchte, um eine Pomade auf Wasserbasis. Die Pomade lässt sich von der Anwendung her zudem eher wie ein Gel verarbeiten. Die Haare werden nach kurzer Zeit eher Trocken. Der in der Beschreibung angesprochene Glanz verfliegt schnell. Der angebliche Duft nach saurem Apfel erinnert eher an Waschmittel als nach Apfel. Auch ist leider der Halt der Pomade eher von kurzer dauer. Nach einem halben Tag ist kein wirklicher halt mehr im Haar zu spüren und eine Tolle (sofern man sie hinbekommen hat) oder jede andere hochgestellte Frisur fällt mehr oder weniger zusammen. Einziger Bonuspunkt. Dank der Wasserbasis ist Sie super einfach wieder auszuwaschen. Einmal ins Schwimmmbecken gesprungen und jedliche Spuren der Pomade sind verschwunden.
