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.

This stuff changed my life. For most of my years I was a gel user. I tried everything to hold my hair in place, gel, foam, you name it. Everything would leave my hair in this sticky mess. Then I heard about pomade. I tried a brand from my local super market called Murray's Superior Hair Dressing Pomade It sounded cool and retro, so I gave it a try. It was awful and hard to get out of my hair, it felt like I had gum in it. Enter Suavecito. Smells great, very 'manly' with a slight spicy undertone. Holds great; I'm able to put this in my hair, jump on my bike, ride my %$^# off to the gym, work my &^#$ off sweating at the gym, ride back home, and when I get home, my hair is still PERFECT. Unbelievable. Then, the best part, Suavecito is water soluble so this stuff just rinses right the &@$# out, no problemo. If you have a hard part in your hair, you NEED this and you don't even know it. Suavecito will change your life. EDIT: Thinking about reducing this review by a star. I've found that when I have Suavecito in my hair, women stare at me more often. It's getting kind of ridiculous.

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.
