best for textured hair
MakeupGuru (424 reviews)

This wax is a cleaner version of most pomades. Great for styling textured hair or short hair to give definition. Great for bed head look too. It doesn't feel all that clean, so don't use too much or you'll feel dirty, although not as bad as using clays. It's also helpful if you want to do up-do and need your hair to "grab". — 2 years, 6 months ago

the best
LaurelJ (152 reviews)

This is the best product for giving your layered hair that piecey look. It has a really smooth texture, and you only need the smallest amount. Just rub a tiny bit between your fingers and smooth it onto your ends, it will define them and give them that "piecy" look. It is also good for taming flyaways and smoothing down your hair while making it look shiny but not slick. It holds too. This is an all around great product. I've tried less expensive imitations, but I always end up coming back — 8 months, 3 weeks ago

Superlight hold!
heidindg (233 reviews)

This isn't a product that will be heavy or give you a ton of definition. It is not it's intention. It is to help with flyaways and slight definition and it does just that! — 1 year, 5 months ago

Adds sheen & definition.

I have thick, straight Asian hair and loved this for adding definition to my short hair cut. It also washes out easily. — 3 years ago

Fantastic for Curly Hair
Moosh29 (48 reviews)

I am mixed race with extremely curly hair and often have trouble finding products that will keep my hair curly without poofing out like a poodle. My mom gave me a jar of this for Christmas and I was pleasantly surprised at how well it held my curls without poofing up and out. It keeps the shape and doesn't make my hair extra crispy. — 3 years, 1 month ago

good for curly hair
tamzzy (37 reviews)

I like using this when I want more curl definition and hold (a night out or just because). I put it in fairly dry hair, after using my regular products. It also gives hair great shine. The product itself looks like some kind of fantasy mermaid pomade. The product is beautiful — 3 years, 11 months ago

Excellent for layered styles of all lengths
kidlyd (4 reviews)

I first used this years ago when I had short hair and loved it. I strayed and just recently bought it again. I've tried so many other pomades but this is the best. I have long hair now, but it still does a fantastic job of defining my layers and keeping my side-swipe bangs in place. It isn't greasy and doesn't build up either. Excellent stuff! — 4 years, 3 months ago

This product is the best for fly away hair. I have found that other products just make my hair look greasy. Redken Water Wax 03 Shine Defining Pomade keeps my hair in place and doesn't look greasy.. — 4 years, 3 months ago
