CRVFT Gel Pomade 4oz | High Shine/Medium Hold | Water Based/Water Soluble | Ideal For Short/Medium Thin/Thick Hair | For A Clean Cut Look | Men’s Styling Product [Clear], Stylist Approved [Scented]

Smells great, gives me a natural looking hold without that greasy feel or appearance and it washes out very easily.Been using it for a year consistently and haven’t looked back since. Wish I had tried it out sooner and hope they continue this product for a long time!

I absolutely love this stuff. So easy to work with; it's not as thick as say Suavecito's Firme hold. And unlike that, too, it doesn't dry out your hair when you wash it out.If you apply to 95% dry hair you will get a hold that's Strong-Medium. I have super thick, curly frizzy hair and it holds it like a champ. Lasts the entire day, and is reworkable by adding a little bit of water.That finish though. Semi-Matte looks amazing; kind of like adding a satin finish to your hair. It almost looks natural with just the slightest bit of shine; it's great.Some people are complaining that it feels like a gel, and I get it; this stuff gets pretty hard when it dries up. And if you don't spread it evenly/put too much, it will flake. However, unlike a gel, it's still reworkable throughout the day and doesn't destroy your hair.So yeah, I love this stuff. Even if it costed double the price I would still pay for it; it's that good.

To preface this review, I have straight, thick Asian hair (medium-long combover) and I work in the hospital as a nurse so I need something that'll last the running around and helping patients move.I've tried A LOT of pomades and this is comes in a close 2nd to Imperial's Classic Pomade and before Suavecito's Firme Hold. I've also tried Layrite, JS Sloane, Cock Grease, etc.Hold: 10/10. As above, this thing keeps my thick, straight Asian hair in a flawless combover during a 12 hr shift as a RN. A big plus is that a little goes long way. Usually with Imperial and Suavecito, I have to use a little more product that other people for my type of hair. Even after a rough gym session, my hair stays in place. If I leave the product in overnight, only a few hairs are outta place from tossing and turning while I sleep.Smell: 10/10. Smells AMAZING. Has a fresh, light masculine smell. A lot better than Imperial's melon scent & better than Suavecito's musky, overpowering scent.Workability: 8.5/10. This is the only place where Hair Craft loses some points. Directions say to work into dry hair esp. if you want that matte look (which is what I want), but if you have thick, straight hair and need a little more time to work the product in, it becomes a little tricky. If you don't use a comb, this product works well and looks great if you style it with you fingers. The product dries pretty quickly, so if you use a comb, you have to work it in and style it a little faster than Suavecito. Either that or work it in when your hair is the slightest bit of wet, but then you won't get as much of the matte appearance.Sheen: 10/10 (when compared to other pomades). 9/10 (for my personal taste). Dries on semi-matte, as advertised. Actually has more of a matte appearance than Imperial & Suavecito, which I like a lot. I would like an ultra matte product like Hanz de Fuko's claymation (which is my favorite product when I have short-medium hair), but for pomades, this is the top when it comes to "matte-ness"Washability: 10/10. Washes right out with water alone, even before applying shampoo. Probably the easiest to wash out out of all the pomades I've tried! I was skeptical about how easily it'll wash out cause it lists "beeswax" as an ingredient. My hair is already soft, but it's actually soft right after showering, even the day after (probably due to the argan oil listed in its ingredients). Sometimes Suavecito can dry out my hair and my scalp and exacerbate my dandruff. Haven't had a problem with dry hair or dandruff yet.Restyling: 9/10. Not as good as Imperial. Same as Suavecito. A day after leaving the product in, the product sticks so well you have to put a little more water to restyle it or else you'll be pulling your hair as your fingers or comb won't glide as easily, and the product washes off so easily (blessing & a curse) by the time you can rework it, you've washed some of the product out so it loses hold. But you just have to add a little more and you're good.Packaging: 10/10. My gf does some graphic design so I'm familiar with packaging and they've got this one right! Classic black container w/ silver lettering/accents. Good choice of fonts & graphics all around the product. The hard plastic container doesn't have a recycling symbol on it which is a shame.Overall: 9.6/10tldr; as advertised: strong hold, semi-matte finish. Holds REALLY well. Smells AWESOME. Washes out easily.***UPDATE***After using this product for a few months and now on my 2nd jar, I have to make some updates on my scoring that dropped this product a little.Hold: 9/10 (down from 10/10). The hold is really strong, which I like, it's too crispy like a gel product when drySmell: 10/10. Still the best smelling product out there!Workability: 7/10 (down from 8.5/10). As stated above, the product dries out too quickly for my liking so you have to style it pretty quickly. Once it dries, it's hard to restyle cause then it'll lose its hold.Sheen: 9/10 (unchanged). Dries on semi-matte, as advertised.Washability: 10/10 (unchanged). As above.Restyling: 6/10. Very little room for restyling. Dries out and then loses its hold when you rework a comb through your hair even w/ a little bit of water on your comb.Packaging: 10/10 (unchanged). As above.New avg. score: 8.7/10. Works great if you plan on not touching your hair for 12-16 hrs once styled.

I have always used clays for their matte look, but as my hair grew longer, I had to move away from clays. Clays are more difficult to apply, and tend to clump your hair.Hair Craft is the perfect pomade, it gives you the same semi-matte and natural look of clay with the spread ability of a pomade. It also has a strong hold that lasts all day, and is able to be washed away easily. The pomade is clear and light weight, which is nice, because it doesn't feel like I'm spreading sticky gunk in my hair.Besides the great performance, Hair Craft also has a great scent and does not test on animals which is an added bonus.

Smells great and goes on easy enough but it’s not for me, it’s relatively easy to use and holds pretty decent but I don’t know if it’s the kind of hair I have (thick and wavy) but it looks great and then after about 3 hours, the strength completely goes away and leaves my hair feeling super dry and brittle. Tried using it about three times now with the same result. Wetting it and then restyling only helps so much. Again, smells great, goes on easy, but not for my hair

I discovered this hair product by browsing on Amazon to replace my old discontinued hair gel. I wanted a low-shine medium-hold soft men’s finishing product that’s fast and easy to use. I wanted it only lightly scented with a clean invisible hold. I also wanted a fair price. This is it! I’ve used it for over 2 years and I still love it. Lasts all day (or all night!). Not sticky or pasty. Quality solid product.

Their gel based promade is the best. 10 out of 10 I don’t put anything else in my hair. Highly recommend

Goes on clear, dries in a few hours and looks like white crusty sputum. Do not use if you have dark hair.
