BASED Pomade for Men, Quality Hair Care with Medium Hold, Natural Shine & Fragrance, Easy to Apply & Great for All Hair Types, Hydrating and Nourishing Pomade (3 Oz Pack of 1)

I’ve tried more hair products than I can count—gels that flake, waxes that feel greasy, and pomades that either smell overpowering or lose their hold halfway through the day. This BASED Pomade honestly surprised me in the best way. The first thing I noticed was the texture—smooth, not sticky, and it scoops out easily without feeling like you’re digging through candle wax. It spreads evenly through my hair and doesn’t clump. The hold is exactly what they promise: medium. My hair stays in place all day, but it still has natural movement instead of that stiff “helmet” look. The shine is subtle, giving my hair a healthy finish instead of that artificial gloss some pomades leave behind. Even after a long workday, my hair still looks styled but not crunchy. Big bonus: it washes out cleanly without leaving buildup, which is rare with pomades. Scent-wise, it’s light and fresh—not cologne-heavy, not sweet, just clean. My partner even complimented it, which says a lot because she usually hates hair product smells. After a week of daily use, I also noticed my hair felt softer and healthier, almost like it has conditioning properties built in. Definitely not something I expected from a styling product. ✅ Pros: Smooth application, no flakes or clumps Natural shine, not greasy Reliable medium hold all day Easy to wash out Light, pleasant fragrance Actually feels nourishing ❌ Cons: The jar could be a bit bigger (I’m already planning to reorder) Overall, this is the first pomade I’ve tried in years that balances performance, look, and feel. It’s become my everyday go-to, and honestly, it feels like a premium product without the premium price tag.

This stuff is all the craze with all the high schoolers. It pretty stiff to get out of the container. Once you get a small amount you rub it between your hands so it goes on your hair easier. It holds pretty good though out the day. The scent is pleasant and it’s not greasy. Works well for the messy hair look and it holds pretty good.

First time using a pomade, and can’t imagine going back or switching to anything else. I chose this one mainly because it’s the only one I could find that lacks harmful ingredients (checked with yuka). I use only a tiny bit every few days and it keeps my hair pliable and holds it well, while giving it a nice finish. Just the one small tub I got is easily going to last me a couple of years at this rate.

The BASED Pomade for Men delivers decent styling and a solid hold, and the quality of the product overall is good. It gives my hair a nice look that lasts, and it’s easy to work into most styles. However, the texture is very sticky — way more than I expected. It makes application a bit frustrating, and when I wash or comb it out, it feels like it can pull hair. I wouldn’t say it actually caused hair loss, but it definitely grabbed at strands more than other products I’ve used. If you want a pomade with strong hold and don’t mind the stickiness, this does the job. But if you’re sensitive to products that tug at your hair, this might not be the best choice.

I bought this for my son and he really likes it. He's a teen and it is easy for him to style his hair with. It gives his hair curl while keeping it soft. It leaves is hair looking shiny.

We purchased this to give a modern look to our son’s thin blonde hair. First, it smells amazing. It’s clean and the product holds so well. The price point was a little more than I wanted but you don’t need much at all so it’s going to last forever!

My 14-yo had been requesting this for a while and is stoked on it. He reports that it works well, smells good, and maintains a good hold through the school day (and he has a fair bit of hair).

So good

Muy buen producto cumple perfectamente la función

Expensive product. But has dried up very quickly. Has been closed properly after every use. Not happy about this.
