Green Pomade

Nice citrus, floral and almost like a spearmint smell. Holds well, very tacky at first and becomes softer after a bit. Not too shiny more of a well conditioned shine. The tin also feels very high quality, well sealed and the stickers are resilient.

This is a great product, but you have to know how to use it and whether or not it is the best fit for your hair/what look you are going for. I am caucasian with with medium/fine hair. I have a standard side part, and have my hair close on the sides. My usual "go-to" hair product is "Work Hard" molding paste by Redken. Great product that provides strong hold without "stiffness". REUZEL is different from this in that it is a pomade and holds the general shape of your hair, but does not lock it in place, *unless you use a large amount. The thing is though, this product gives your hair a 2-day "unwashed" look with just a small amount. Some people can pull this look off, but you have to be careful, otherwise you just look greasy. The instruction say to apply to "towel-dried" hair, however, I have found that it is better to apply to completely, bone dry hair. If you try to apply this while moisture is present, it pulls on your hair when you try to apply it. Also, this product doesn't glide into your hair like other products, so after you put a dime-sized portion in your hands, rub your hands together to warm it up/thin it out and then grab handfuls of your hair to apply it, starting with the areas that need the strongest hold: Part/callick/bangs. If this is the first time using this product, you might want to try the smaller size first to see if this goes with your hair/style. This product may take a little experimentation/getting use to, so perhaps don't use this for the first time when you're in a rush. The scent is very mild. One reviewer said the scent was too fruity and overpowering. That's just not true. The scent is minor, fresh melon. No stronger than a mild-scented shampoo. I've been using this product off an on for several months, and I have not noticed any increase in skin breakouts/acne that I was concerned about when putting a product on my head that contains the word "grease". In conclusion, this product really does best when it is used either in large quantities to gives a pompadore-style look extreme hold and sheen with thick/full/short hair, or in very small amounts to give a natural 'unwashed' look for thin/medium/long hair. Hope this helps! Any questions, just ask.

Complete GAME-CHANGER. Used to use water-based pomade but after a few hours my hair became dryer and started to frizzle up and go EVERYWHERE. But with Reuzel Green Grease Pomade my hair stays in place ALL DAY. And if it moves out of place I simply comb back or use my hands to smooth back into place. Gives me a slicked back "mafia" look that looks sharp all day without looking to wet or greasy.

The scent is really good and classic, but this pomade truly lives up to the “grease” name. It provides solid hold and shine, but it’s heavier and greasier than I expected. If you like traditional grease-style pomades, this will probably be exactly what you want. If you prefer something lighter or more natural feeling, this may not be the best fit.

Good quality pomade. Holds very well, it is very sticky, more so than most other mediums. I would put this on the heavier side of medium in comparison to products like Sweet Georgia Brown, Black and White, or Murray's Small Batch 50/50. I would compare it's hold to that of Goon Grease with this just having slightly less hold, but not by much. It does have less shine than the Goon Grease does though. Application is pretty standard, there's some tug but it's not excessive. It's an oil and wax based product so don't expect to wash this completely out of your hair every night, although two or three washes should have it completely out. If you like medium and heavy pomades this is one you should try.

update: Works well in the heat- it was 98 degrees this week and I think that the high beeswax content of Reuzel keeps it holding in the heat much better than a purely petroleum based pomade. Spendy, at $15, but worth it. Bought this after seeing it promoted on youtube videos and a few pomade sites. Seems like there is always a flavor-of-the-month with pomades. This stuff is worth the hype. Smells mellon-y to me, maybe like an apple/mellon bubble gum. It is probably too firm/strong for me because I have light brown, fine, "white-boy" hair- but that is good because I will just use less and it will last longer. Since it is in a beeswax base, it isn't greasy like a petroleum based pomade. The best example of that is that a petroleum pomade will make the floor of the shower slick and this beeswax pomade will not. Also, with petroleum pomades, anything airborne will tend to be collected in my hair. Car hair, dog hairs, pollen, lint, mistress hairs, confetti, loose sequins, glitter, sand, [that was a helluva party] will somehow find your hair and go for a ride. The beeswax stuff is ~there~ and it will be obvious that you have pomade in your hair; but if your head touches something it will not leave a greasy mark on a pillow/car headrest/couch in the lapdance room. (Even if you don't pick this Reuzel- do yourself a favor and get away from gels that dry and leave flakes. The pomades moisturize your scalp and prevents you from throwing actual dandruff (from the cheap gels that dry your skin) and flakes of dried gel that looks just like dandruff.) I'm trying many (about 12) different pomades while I try to find my go-to and the Reuzel is at the top of my list so far. It smells so good that when I get to work in the morning, I just want to sit in the car with the heat on so that I can enjoy the scent.

I am a huge fan of Reuzel and have used their water based Fiber and Blue, as well as the Heavy Hold Pink for some crazy styles. However as with water solubles, they harden, and leave your hair dry. As for the pink, the intense ingredients made it hard as an everyday pomade due to a heavy build up and stiff hair. This is desirable by some and I think its a great trait, just not always what I'm looking for. However, I just got my hands on the Green and my god it is everything I've ever wanted in a pomade. I've tried many brands from Murray's, American Crew, Uppercut, Paul Mitchell, and nothing comes close to this. The smell, healthy ingredients, and the look and feel of the product. Application like butter, a smell of apples, and a hold just good enough to get that desired style without ever being stiff. A perfect everyday pomade that actually hydrates and helps the hair, after using this my hair looks shiner and healthier than regular, and especially when compared to a water soluble pomade. If you want slick styles with malleable hair, try this product. Your scalp will thank you.

First off, there's virtually no smell at all. A very, very hint of green apple-like scent when you stick your nose right into the product. It's a wax-based product, not oil. That's how it comes when you open the lid. It's very waxy and very pliable. It goes in very easy into the hair without any residue unlike many other products. There's some shine to it, not a whole lot. The holding power is meh. It's got some decent hold, but not as good as the Blue Reuzel. You'll definitely need to add another product to this if you want all day hold.
