Firme (Strong) Hold Pomade

This stuff is awesome. After using primarily junk pomaded from the grocery store (axe, Dove, Suave, etc etc, I've tried most of them) and having to supplement that with hairspray to get my hair to hold, I decided to spend a little more and get something with better. I started doing some research and was drawn to this. I ultimately decided to go with the Firme Hold because my hair is incredibly thick and very straight, making it difficult to style the way I want without have crusty, nasty hair. This stuff is a god send. I find myself using no more than a penny-Nickel size amount on one finger, then rubbing onto my hands and finger tips and it does the job. This is much less than I am accustomed to using. It also leaves my hair feeling soft and healthy looking. The best part? It's water activated and water soluble, meaning if you find your hair starting to go flat in the day, just put a little (and I mean little) water on your hands and lightly run through your hair to get more hold. At the end of the day, it washes out with extreme ease. Also, it smells really good (kind of a cologne smell, but it's not overly strong. You wouldn't be able to smell it on someone unless you were hugging). Here are some very important tips if you have a hard time due to thick, straight hair. Lightly towel dry your hair leaving it damp and squirt a couple shots of Argan Oil into your palm and work into wet hair, styling the way you want. You'd be amazed at the level of shine and hold just doing this gives you, drastically reducing the amount of styling paste or pomade you need (also, it's really good for your hair). Then blow dry. Yes, I said blow dry. This is the single most important step. Blow dry your hair in the way you want it styled. If you want good hair, you need to man up and be willing to spend the time (for guys it only takes like 3 minutes tops). Also, invest in a good brush with round tips. I recommend the Quiff Brush sold by Uppercut. It adds volume to your hair and also does an incredible job in helping you style your hair. Lastly, put your pomade in. If you followed the above steps, you should find that you need less pomade for the hold you're trying to achieve. And with having good looking hair, less product is more. Hope that helps. Everyone enjoy!

Well let’s get to the nitty gritty. If you are looking at this product, you are probably looking at the Layrite Strong Hold and maybe Uppercut also in addition to the Sauvetico Firme. Firstly, I didn’t purchase uppercut because it’s just too expensive. So I left that out of the running for me. My hair – very course and unwieldy even on a good day. I see lots of reviews where people say “Oh I have very difficult to control hair” then you see them with this perfect pompadour. I’m the guy that can’t pull off a full pompadour even if I wanted to because my hair is just too uncontrollable. Instead I use pomade at the suggestion of my barber that said I’m using too much gel to keep my 2” long hair in check. “I should instead try pomade”. That led me here. On to the products… Layrite Strong Hold – Good consistency, held up throughout the day, washed out easily with water. All great. But the smell was a little off-putting. It’s not natural. It reminds me of The Hunt for Red October when Jonesy says: “Now that’s got to be manmade, captain”. The product held decently, but I personally just couldn’t get past the smell. Enter Sauvetico Firme. Smelled just right, a very light scent but the scent was of ‘freshness’. The second I took a dab out of the tub I could instantly tell the difference on control compared to the Layrite Strong Hold. The Sauvetico Firme felt much thicker and stronger and that’s before I even got it into my hair. Once I worked it in, wow, yes. This is what I’ve been needing! I didn’t even bother to blow dry it (to keep it in place) because I could tell it was strong enough to hold it on its own. Sauvetico now has a lifetime customer. Great product which holds and smells good. Oh, and it washed out without issue. Highly recommended.

I have thick medium length hair and my biggest issue with other products have been their inability to properly hold my hair in place without the help of something like hairspray. I'm happy to say that Suavecito Pomade Firme holds everything as I want. I've not had the need to reapply throughout the day or really mess with it at all after the initial styling. If I do have to restyle, I've found the pomade to still be soft enough to restyle without the need of water as suggested. The pomade lasts all day and when it's time to wash it out, it seems like it runs off immediately upon contact with water from the shower. This is good for when you want it off but should act as a caution for rainy days. I've seen a few other reviews mention the smell of the pomade. Some people enjoy it and others hate it. I would consider myself in the middle. The smell is absolutely noticeable but I don't hate it. I haven't been able to associate it with anything in particular but I would say that it falls in the category of a strong, stereotypical man smell. Imagine Brut aftershave, Drakkar Noir and the like. I'm not saying that this pomade smells like those products but it has that strong in your face factor. This is going to be something that you'll have to experience for yourself and form your own opinion. I'm just glad that I don't need to use too much product to style my hair so it's not like I'm bathing my hair in cologne. Overall, this is the best hair product for styling that I've found. I'll be using Suavecito Pomade Firme for the near future and can happily recommend it.

Just started the hair styling the journey and decided to try a few different products; - Reuzel Extreme Hold - Cremo High Hold Low Shine - Smooth Viking Matte Finish and Medium Hold - Suavecito Pomade Firme (Strong) My hair is straight and typically short and spikey, but I grow it out to test other styles. 2 Tests (Scent, and Hold) Started with Reuzel and although it worked okay it left me wanting more. The hold is strong, but depending on the style it doesn't always last all day. After about 7 or 8 hrs it may need some tweaking. And because its EXTREME you need a splash of water to loosen it up. The scent is described as a subtle sugary rum. Good, but not one I'd seek out Hold: B+ Scent: B- Cremo Affordable which is always a plus: except when the product struggles to perform. Out of the four this one is the hardest to style, least likely to hold shape, and the smell isn't my first, second, or third choice (Maybe Hints of Smoky Vanilla and Tobacco/Bourbon) Can't say I've been a fan of the cremo scents I've tested. Hold: D- Scent: C Smooth Viking More expensive than the other options. This one is a bit different than the rest because its a cream not a pomade or paste which makes it light and super easy to style. In doing so it sacrfices a bit of hold but its still strong enough under static conditions. However if there's any type of wind, you'll be constantly fidgeting with it. The smell is the worst of the bunch: tobacco scented Elmer's Glue? Hold: C+ Scent: D Suavecito Quite literally saved the best for last. Holy smokes this smells amazing (can't even describe it, but its what pomade should smell like) and the hold works excellent. Lasts all day. No complaints so far. Hold: A Scent: A

Ever since my go-to product was discontinued (Redkin Polish Up) I've been in the market looking for the next best thing that would work with my hair. I have a gentleman's cut and usually go to my barber every 2 weeks to get cleaned up and also 'thin' out my hair because how thick it is. With that being said I tried Crew and other Redkin products like wax pomade and the hold or texture wasn't to my liking. After Googling it and reading through some recommendations I ran across some people who said to try Suavecito. The price point is inexpensive in comparison to the other products I buy which are almost $20. Because of the price I was a bit reluctant to order even though reviews seemed to be majority good. We all know how some of these reviews are and you don't know if they are made up or whatever the case may be. I usually apply hair product when my hair is damp from a shower. This pomade is exactly what I was looking for! the hold, texture and medium shine is what I missed about the previous Redkin Polish Up I used. Why the 4 star with all the praise you say? The smell! This really applies to me and my sensitivity to scents, I have year round allergies and strong smells trigger my allergies and this is one of the smells. As a user you can smell it but no one around you can, my wife had to literally put her nose in my hair to smell the scent. I will continue using the product because the pros outweighs the one con for me. Pros: Great hold, medium-shine and inexpensive Con: Smell (It may vary per person, its not a bad smell but its a strong smell for my liking and allergies) If you like Redkin Polish Up this would be a great alternative.

In comparison to Imperial Classic Pomade and Lockhart's Hair Pomade, this is my favorite of the three. The smell of this pomade reminds me of a barbershop with men's cologne, and is notably my favorite thing about this product. The hold on this works well for light tasks at work or school. If my hair comes loose or falls apart a wet comb fixes back to perfection! If not my hand works well too since it's fairly malleable even without water. It has good shine if you comb your was damp when you applied it, otherwise it dries to a matte finish. My only gripe with this pomade is how it spreads throughout your hair. While not as difficult as Lockhart's it had a bit more resistance than Imperial did. I found myself pulling out some hair from time to time because of it. However, this stuff rinses off my hands and my hair easily with just water. It's price, ease of use, and fragrance easily makes it my favorite pomade. Love it or hate it, this stuff is a classic for a reason!

I tried so many hair waxes and pomaded and this is the one of the few that is worth the price. This has a density of something in between a wax and a gel product. It will leave your hair with a bit shine to it so I don't think it would work for a messy looks but rather more of a stylish sleek look. The smell is great compared to many products out there. Another thing I like is that if you messed up a little in how you wanted to do your hair you can easily apply some water to the product and manage your hair the way you wanted it. Is not greasy at all but can be a bit sticky at times but you can easily wash it off with water unlike wax products. The only negative thing I could think of this product is that it can be a bit heavy on my hair because I have thin hair, but by using a blow dryer and applying a bit hair spray I can manage it well. The hold I can say is a 4 star out of 5. It can be improve since I live in a very hot temperate area and any products can melt very fast.

At first when I used it, I thought it didn't work well. I was really frustrated because I haven't really found many products that work with my hair because my hair's so damn stubborn. This applies to a lot of asians. I'm asian myself. Then I watched some tutorials and realized that you want to just towel dry your hair first and let it be a little bit damp. After that, you clear out any knots in your hair (if you have long hair like me) and scoop an index tip finger's full of the product and you start rubbing it in from the back of your head and work your way up to the front. A helpful tip is that you REALLY want to and I mean really want to get it all in your hair, root, EVERYWHERE. After getting it all in good, graze one hand over the sink to get some excess water and run all of that in your hair as well to make the pomade a little more flexible. After that, I take another scoop of the same amount I used in the first step and repeat the first process. You can then use your hands to style it in whichever direction you wish and you may also use a comb for assistance if you'd like (more of a slickback style). I learned that with water based pomade, more is better than less (I know people always say less is more but NOT in this case). So don't be afraid to use a little more if you feel like it's not strong enough. Trust me, if this product can hold my hair, it'll hold yours. After you're done, your hair should be nice and shiny and give it a little while to completely dry and that'll do it for the rest of your day ! Guys, it also makes you smell really good and the ladies will be happy.

The best pomade at this price point holds for the whole day and can be reactivated with water

Dokładnie tak jak głosi opis - silna stylizacja i jednocześnie odżywienie włosów. Trzyma 8+h nawet moje włosy, gdzie z reguły żartowałem że do stylizacji potrzebuję użyć super glue. Łatwo zmywa się wodą, pozostawia włosy świeże jakby dopiero po myciu. 10/10

行きつけのバーバーおすすめのポマード。整髪力もですが、香りもさわやさでいい。

Best in range. Good hold and nice smell. Have used for a year. Will buy next time for sure. And it is not oily plus easily washes out with water

Excelente pomada! Mais de uma pessoa no trabalho me perguntou o que eu usava no cabelo para deixá-lo com aspecto molhado. O cabelo fica durinho, não maleável. E muito bonito. Sai fácil ao lavar. Não ressecou meu cabelo. O cheiro é bom e clássico. É uma opção cara, no entanto.
