Smells good
by MlleButterfly (6 reviews)I love this product. It has a wonderful smooth, thick gel texture. Plus, it doesn't become hard or flake when it dries. I live in a very dry climate so it's absolutely essential that my pomade helps trap moisture in without creating a greasy untouchable mess. Perhaps, the best part about this pomade is that it smells re...ally good. The only downside to this product is the high price and that it comes in just one tiny size.

it's the smell again!
by jennifergogogo (31 reviews)Trusted Reviewi can't get enough of this smell. that's why i continue to use this product even though i prefer the results i get from a lighter-weight smoothing serum. this product feels too gunky on my hair. i try to use as little as possible and to distribute it on my palms before applying. still, it's too heavy for my liking.

Still good after all these years
by texas_girl (10 reviews)Brilliant is the perfect name for this product. I used to apply this when I used to get perms. My hair would be so healthy. I a lot of people couldn't believe that my hair was permed hair. They thought it was natural. So give it a try. May 22, 2008, 8:09 am1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Essential
by Monarch (9 reviews)I use this product every day and could not live without it! I use it to tame the flyaways after blowdrying and it also works great to reinforce the shape of my hair. It is not heavy or greasy like many other pomade products can be. May 1, 2008, 11:53 am1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

BEST POMDADE!
by amethyst23 (6 reviews)I have thin straight hair which is color treated (highlighted) which gets dry, frizzy at the ends. I rub this in palm and run thru section that looks dry and I get that sleek straight look which does not look greasy. I have tried others & the scents were too strong or left hair looking greasy. This is my FAVORITE! November 12, 2007, 5:00 pm1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Great for curly hair
by ClaireElizabeth (5 reviews)I've been using this pomade for more than six years in curly hair in a humid, humid environment. Where other products fail, this continues to hold up. I try to throw it in my purse for a touch-up just in case. August 16, 2008, 3:46 pm0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Nice product - still trying to figure out how best to use it
by tamzzy (37 reviews)Top 500 ReviewerTrusted ReviewStill trying to figure out the perfect amount and timing for applying this product. I've been layering it over Wired by Rusk, I put the Rusk in my hair just after squeezing out excess water with a towel (not rubbing or twisting but scrunching with the towel) Then after the hair has dried a small amount i've scrunched in Bri...lliant. This combination seems to be working fairly well so far this summer (hot and humid) I have thick curly hair, and while it doesn't keep the curls in perfect form it does keep them more separated than other products. I often find Aveda products to have too strong a sent, and while Brilliant has the traditional Aveda sent it doesn't feel as over powering because I only use a small amount.
