Baxter of California Clay Pomade, Strong Hold Matte Hair Clay for Men, Texturizing & Thickening Pomade for Natural Definition and All-Day Control, 2 Ounce

This product is of excellent quality and delivers what it promises. It guarantees a very strong hold for the hair. The finish is, as promised, matte. The hair doesn’t shine, it just looks smooth and healthy. It’s true that applying the product can be very difficult. It’s very firm and thick. You need to warm it up well beforehand. You can take a SMALL (!) amount into your hand and simply warm it up using a hairdryer ;) And don’t put it in wet hair. I have very thick, medium to long hair. The hairstyle lasts all day. You can also easily restyle it with your fingers during the day, no problem. And yes, it washes out easily with shampoo. No problem at all.

I'm a Hispanic male with wavy, thick, dry frizzy hair. My haircut is short on the sides 1-2 guard with a scissor cut on the top. About an inch and a half in length. I have to say, since I've been using hair products (since I was 12, I'm 24 now) this is the only one that I'll buy consecutively. I've tried quite a few products, AC fiber, AC pomade, AC molding clay, AC gel, AC texture lotion, defi pomade, axe, whatever paste, axe spiking glue, short sexy hair wax and frenzy, redken maneuver wax, and several other gels/pomades/wax/paste. This by far is the best I've found. Ive had some success with other products some that seemed to work for a while then I realized it just didn't give me the look I wanted, which is why I waited so long to do a review on this product. I wanted to make sure I actually liked it, instead of convincing myself that I did because it was kind of expensive. I don't even want to know how much I've spent trying to find a good product. I've gone through several trends from messy hair to a side part. For the most part now I do an informal side part. This product can do both pretty well. The problem I've had with most products is there is either not enough hold, too thick, or matte products that make my hair look dry with no visible texture or separation. This has a little bit of shine. Which is great for my hair since it is very black and sometimes dry and frizzy. It's important that you try different ways of putting this into your hair. Takes a bout a little less than a dime size amount for my hair and make sure to rub into your fingertips very well. For me, wetting my hair pretty thoroughly first, then towel drying works best. If I put it in dry it doesn't do as much. Sometimes I put it in dry just to give my hair a little more texture. This stuff has great hold, and it seems to get better through the day. I find that if I fix it, go to work and by the time I'm done I can mess it up a little for a casual look and it still looks great. I can't say enough about this product. However this is my experience, I've tried products that others have raved about that just did not work for me. Hopefully this will work for you and you can save some money instead of buying the wrong stuff only to toss it in a couple of months. I use this almost every day and it's lasted several months. I will be buying again.

I have relatively thin black hair with not much volume. My hair is long up top with short sides. If I don't put anything in my hair my hair is flat and boring. I've used many hair products to help compensate for my lack of volume. From gel to pomade and even just conditioner, nothing really helped. If I do use product, it seems to wear out easily and won't keep my hairdo I've spent so much time on. I thought I found the right product in the American Crew line, but when I tried this Clay pomade by Baxter, I've never touched anything else. The product itself smells great and can easily be washed out of your hands and hair. It also is kept in a great quality glass container. I like the matte look from this clay pomade and helped keep my hair up throughout the day. I've gotten many compliments on how my hair looks and smells. I take a shower every morning and do my hair, even if I don't go out, because otherwise my hair would annoy the F*** out me and just hang over my face. I usually style after I've changed and towel dried my hair. I find it easier to style when my hair is a little wet, but not damp. If my hair has dried up already, I can just run my hands through the water and shake it around my hair to moisten it up. I like my hair more natural looking and I usually just use my fingers to run my hair back to a more casual and natural comb back style. A little goes a long way. I can run my fingers through my hair throughout the day and still keep the shape I want. I can't do that with anything else. My hair keeps the volume I want and actually keeps it up the whole day. Other products would fail me mid day and even flatten out. When I ride my motorcycle, I hate when my helmet flattens out my hair and stays flat. With other products I've used, I can never get my hair back to the way I wanted. With Baxter's Clay Pomade, I can take my helmet off, run my fingers through my hair no problem, and bring it to the way I wanted without adding anything. I absolutely love Baxter's Clay Pomade. After years of trying various types of products with all types of different hair styles, I can honestly say that this will be the product I will use for the rest of my life.... or until I go bald.

I absolutely love this stuff, it’s just a little pricey. But has an awesome hold, a light woodsy smell, the only reason I give it four stars is it’s just expensive for a small container

I have been using this product for over 5 years and this is the only one that i will use. it helps my hair stay but also doesnt feel like there is too much product in my hair

This is an awful product and has forced me to reconsider the entire trend towards independent boutique cosmetic products (especially among men). My hair is approximately 1 1/2 inches on top and, usually, clean-faded around the sides -- your pretty standard, if trendy, men's hair cut. Its texture is fine, and depending on the occasion I wear my hair rough parted to the side with some bangs, or put a comb through it and part it to the side. Doing a significant amount of research before buying a new men's hair product, and having familiarity with other clay-based products and texturizers (i.e. Aveda), I was admittedly excited about Baxter's and believed I had found a new "the one" or best-kept hair secret that would do everything I wanted it to do. Unfortunately, however, this product doesn't really do what its description--and its many positive reviews--purports that it does. Perhaps my experience can be summed up by discovering that this product is much, much more "pomade" than "clay", and pomades and my hair have never really got along, but here is my general and very terrible experience with Baxter Clay Pomade: Gives hair decent shine and masculine smell, however no matter the amount/quantity used, leaves hair notably flat, heavy, unmanageable, and without distinction or texture; difficult to apply evenly and provides poor coverage; since the product is so course and thick, despite rubbing and warming it between your hands at length its application can be a drag since it tends to even rip out a lot of your hair. It leaves an incredible residue and you'll find yourself cleaning-up any nearby glass surfaces since your inevitably product-soaked fingerprints will find their way all over everything (cleaning your phone screen 3 times a day). And, despite this product having no problem sloughing its grease all over your hands, ears, face desk and phone throughout the day, good luck removing it when you actually want to. As a few other reviews have mentioned, it is not even close to water soluble and you will need to wash/rinse your hair, at minimum, three times to fully remove Baxter Clay Pomade. Thus, to leave this review on a high-note, since this foolishly hyped product does nothing but leave your hair unwieldy, flat and greasy and with virtually no ability to remove it from your head, think of the build-up, think of the scalp acne.

This product has a VERY strong hold. Also has a very matte finish as compared to my usual brand- Jack Black Clay Pomade. I also thought more natural looking. I have grey hair, for reference. However, I found this product VERY thick and sticky - it is very hard to spread out on your hands for application and your hands really pull at your hair when applying the product. It doesn’t go on easy. I also noticed that it appears quite hard to wash out of my hair. My shampoo hardly lathers. Also, seems to absorb a lot of the conditioner that I use. So I give this product a 5 for looks, but a 1 for application - averaging at a 3.

Bought this along with a few other highly rated hair products on Amazon, and this one ended up performing the best overall. The hold is strong but looks very natural, giving good texture and volume without feeling sticky or greasy. At first the packaging felt a bit cheap compared to other brands, but once I started using it, the actual performance really exceeded my expectations. If there were an unscented version, it would be perfect, especially for people who prefer products without any noticeable fragrance.

が、クセッ毛もごく少量でセットできるし運動しても崩れないし、マットで自然に仕上がるので重宝します。 においは、ツンとする薬草？薬品？みたいなにおいですが、弱いので、少量ならば問題ないです（オールバックのようにガチガチにする場合は多分そこそこにおいます）。

One of the best

Me gusta mucho este producto. Hay que utilizar poquísima cantidad. Da una fijación media con un acabado mate y ligeramente satinado. Puesto que se utiliza tan poca cantidad y el producto es bastante denso y compactado, esto me va a durar más de un año seguro. Además el olor no es fuerte. Tiene un olor neutro aunque ligeramente aromático. Muy sutil y nada invasivo. Para ponerse el producto hay que coger muy poca cantidad con un dedo (como medio guisante) y frotarlo con las manos hasta que se calienten. A partir de ahí se va aplicando en el cabello desde atrás hacia adelante (para no poner producto en exceso en la parte frontal). Si es necesario se puede ir aplicando algo más de producto en una nueva capa. Pero para el mejor acabado, no recomiendo aplicarlo todo a la vez. Una cosa más! Si es la primera vez que utilizas un producto de este tipo, practica en casa hasta conseguir el acabado que deseas. A mí al principio me pasó que estaba aplicando demasiada cantidad de producto!

### DESCRIPTION ### • Argile Coiffante dans un conteneur en verre. 60mL • Odeur assez subtile, pas extrêmement présente, sauf à coller le nez contre le pot (de mon point de vue, un avantage !) ### IMPRESSIONS ### Parmi toutes mes obsessions, ma principale reste -je pense- mes cheveux, et cela fait donc des années que je suis en quête du produit qui saura les dompter. J'ai des cheveux courts (4-5cm), normaux, mais très fins et plats. Et le problème avec ce type de cheveux, c'est de créer du volume. Et souvent, quand un produit créé du volume il a un de ces 2 problèmes : soit il ne tient pas la journée, soit il ne donne pas une impression naturelle. Baxter of California a rayé ces 2 éléments avec ce produit. L'application est simple, sans résidu dans les cheveux, les mains se lavent facilement et ne gardent pas d'odeur. Une légère odeur dans les cheveux, très légère même, donc pas entêtante (les cires Hairgum, les laques Elnett, c'est vous que je vise). Je l'applique à 6h du matin, cheveux lavés, séchés au sèche-cheveux, ça tient toujours en l'air quand je rentre à 20h. Se replace parfaitement avec du vent (même si par précaution, je vaporise un coup de Tigi Bed Head ces jours là). /!\ Comme la plupart des argiles, graisse rapidement le cheveu : lavage au shampooing tous les 2 jours (pour ma part), ça ne part pas complètement à l'eau. ### CONCLUSION ### Pour moi le Graal. Recommandé pour les coupes aériennes, pour les cheveux qui manquent de peps, qui sont plats, fins, ou les deux ! /!\ Si cette revue vous a semblé utile, merci de le signaler par un petit 'Oui' à droite, merci :-) !

Good
