Baxter of California Clay Pomade , Strong Hold, Matte, 2 oz

I have been using this product for a few weeks now and am very happy. I was concerned by a few bad reviews on this product, but excited by its rating of 0 for chemicals tested to cause cancer, and 2 overall at the Skin Deep Cosmetic Database.PACKAGINGOne of the reviews stated they were shipped a 2oz container, although the item listing says 2.5oz. I can verify the item shipped to me was 2.5oz. The nice thing about a 2.5oz container is it is 0.5oz larger than all of the products I was using. So, already it is 25% more product. The container it comes in is very heavy and made of solid glass. It is a nice shape and not too fat, and easily fits in my hand when cupped without worry of dropping it.PRODUCTI use a substantial amount less of this Clay than I did other pomades, fibers, etc. I have thick red hair which is about 3" tall. I use about a pea sized amount of this, rubbing it briskly between both hands, and then very roughly rubbing it deep into my hair. This pea sized amount will easily last me all day. If my hair does start to fail at holding up I simply lightly dampen my hands, and run it through my hair for an instant re-hold. Like I will say later with the shampoo, this is very hard to wash out (and in this case, that's a good thing).Another review complained the product was too "clay like." I hate to break it to you, but if you buy this item thinking it's not a clay you're going to be disappointed. This product is more of a clay than it is anything else. Do not buy this product thinking it is a pomade. Clay, just like it sounds, is dirt. Now, don't be turned away from that! Clay is a very natural product that allows for a very nice matte finish with minimal crunch. However, when running your hands through hair with any type of clay in it you're going to feel almost a "balloon" like texture (it's not sticky).Another review said the product was hard to wash out. They're correct. When shampooing my hair it feels almost "dry" (but I'm pretty sure it's just the texture left on it, and not that it is actually dried out). This product does take a bit of shampoo to get out, but if you're going to just slap it right back in your hair again what does it matter?Another review said the product left a glue-like texture you could visibly see. If this product is doing that, it is because you probably dried your hair too much before applying it. To prevent this make sure you put the clay in shortly after towel drying your hair, or simply lightly dampening your hands and then running it through your hair either before application, or after. It also may be doing this because you didn't rub it in enough. Make sure when rubbing in this product to use a lot of pressure and briskly rub it evenly and deeply into your hair.OVERALLSo far I have been very happy with this product. I will continue to use this product and change my review if my impressions of it change in the future. As it currently stands I will be purchasing this item again, and would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a well holding matte finish with minimal crunchiness.

Baxter has made a great product with this clay pomade. I have been looking for a hair product that will has hold, is pliable after application, and does not have any shine; and I have found that in this Baxter of California Clay Pomade. Ideally you would want to use this in short to medium length hair for its full effect. I prefer it more in short hair but as my hair grows out it still gives me the look I need with the ability to change styles throughout the day. This product feels sticky when removed yet when it is applied to the hair it leaves the hair looking and feeling dry. Throughout the day the Clay Pomade keeps its hold and will not let your hair droop. During the day/night no matter how many times you change your hair the hold still stays in whatever new position it has been put in. Even the next day when you wake up, you are able to mold your hair into the style you need. I would recommend this product to anyone with short to medium hair that needs a product that will leave it looking dry and still have a firm hold on the hair that can be changed at a moment's notice.This product is great for anyone that wants that extra on-the-go style that they can mold throughout the day. Baxter of California Clay Pomade is also great for a night on the town, sports activities, and parties. As the day/night goes on, normal hair products and having no products at all leaves your hair looking sloppy and limp. This clay pomade holds up all day and all night keeping your hair exactly how you want it to be. whether you have been dancing all night and your hair has gotten out of place or you have been working hard throughout the day; Baxter of California Clay Pomade will let you have the hair style you want and keep it that way no matter what.I would strongly recommend this product to anyone that meets the criteria of the aforementioned review. This Clay Pomade can keep up with any lifestyle and activity. I invite you to try it today and see how great of a product it actually is; I am sure you will not be disappointed.

First off, mair hair texture is straight and a little fine, but I have a lot of it (meaning it appears very thick); think Johnny Depp type of hair. So if you have my hair type, I can say this product will for sure work for you.A great matte finish, strong hold product. Best styling clay I’ve tried so far!!BUT! Because it is so strong it can leave the hair feeling oily after several hours of wear do to the combining of your scalps build up of oils throughout the day and the wax in the product. This is a product you have to wash out each night with shampoo. This is how most super strong hold products are though!! ESPECIALLY clay. Nothing to worry about, just the way clay and a lot of waxes are. If that bothers you look for water-based products rather than wax based. But keep in mind those natural waxes are good for your hair! When I come across a clay that somehow manages to come up with the magic that is super strong and washes out easy I’ll give it a five star, I know it’s out there somewhere.Conclusion!! Worth it, I’ve been hooked on it for about 6 months now, great product. Two thumbs up for Baxter.

Great product. Firm hold with a matte finish as described, but leaves hair moldable without looking like you have product in it. I had used American Crew cream pomade for years but think I’ll be using Baxter’s going forward.

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 have thick silky medium length black hair and I usually style my hair against its natural direction. I need a product with a strong hold and Clay Pomade by Baxter of California is one of the strongest hold product out there. One has to understand that most hair products behave differently in different temperatures. I live in North East where is hot and humid during the summer and cold and dry during the winter. The behavior of this product changes consistency with change in weather.Winter:Hard to scoop from the jar and you need to put in some effort to warm up the product on your plans before you can apply. I sometimes use the blow dryer to warm it.Once in your hair, It provides a very strong hold with low shine and lasts well beyond 10 hrs since the outside temperatures keep it firm.Summer:Easy to scoop and warms us easily on your palm. Applies easily on your hair.Looses hold within 3 to 4 hours.Trying to restyle with damp hands just results in the product washing off.Now the BIGGEST problem. Its a problem I face but might not be an issue with other.The product washes off easily and during the summer months it mixes with sweat and trickles down my forehead clogging my pores and resulting in terrible Acne. I started using another product and I was acne free for over 2 years. Since I liked the finish and smell of the product I decided to give it another try and my Acne is back again.This may not be a problem for everyone but buyer BEWARE.As I mentioned, these products react significantly to temperature changes.

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.

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.

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 :-) !

fijación mate perfecta, sin residuos, natural para evitar que se te comience a caer el cabello, con muy poco producto te fija perfectamente. Cómo utilizas muy poco dura bastante
