Why did we only just meet?!, 2 May 2014

I've never written a review before but I'm in work, it is Friday afternoon and this looks passable as work on my screen (and I'm looking pissed off so it looks like I'm concentrating). Anyhoo, I only tried this product last night but I gotta say it is some quality stuff! Uppercut broke my pomade virginity and I've been putting off buying it for a fair while as it's fairly high priced, this considered it is worth it! I have thick hair that swallows most products I use and what with the slicked comb over look going around these days I've been in dismay I couldn't join in, alas I thought it was all over before it got started for me. This stuff is a game changer. Managed to get it slicked back pretty easily, it has a nice texture, isn't sticky & the stuff smells better than Emma Stone (well fit). Left it a few hours and it held reyt well! It goes fairly hard and has a bit of shine but I was still able to run my hands through it like them guys in films do. Oh also it is worth having for...

Solid for a water-based, 1 Feb. 2015

I am far more familiar with oil based pomades, as i prefer how they work and look. I've only ever used a couple of water-based pomades, so i can't compare this product to much, but i'll leave a bit of feedback non-the-less.

I bought this product due to it's high rating. I heard it was the best water-based pomade easily available in the UK. I certainly agree that it's a nice product, and i can see where the hype comes from. It's super thick, goes in to the hair easily and allows you to do almost anything with your hair. Being a water-based pomade, it has its limits. It dries out and causes your hair to become stiff and unnatural, like hair gel. So some styles are easier to achieve than others. Also, true pomades would allow you to re-comb your hair during the day. Since this product dries out, like most water-based products, there is no way of re-combing. You could try wetting your hair a bit, but it'll never be the same as using true grease.

The scent in the tin is almost...

You really can't go wrong buying this., 5 Sept. 2015

Amazing hair product that gives a brilliant clean, strong hold that lasts all day. It smells brilliant (like a sweet caramel to me)and I've had a few compliments about it. It holds up perfect even in strong wind but does start to loose a little shape after hard labour, although it's still better than anything also I've tried.My only issue, and this is just personal preference, is that it holds your hair with a similar rigidity to hair gel. As such if you keep playing with it it will eventually loose it's shape - no good if you're having a stressful day haha! I also find that it's only really good at creating the classic slick back/pompadour style and looks very sharp. Can't really get a more casual, messy style but maybe someone could advise me in the comments?Nevertheless I'm thoroughly impressed with this product and will certainly buy it again as well as trying out the other products that Uppercut offer.
