The Entire Old Spice Haircare Line
This is a sponsored post. I was compensated by Old Spice to write this article, but was given creative freedom to decide the manner in which to do it. All views and opinions are my own, and I was given total control, in typical Old Spice fashion. Hey y’all, did you know that there is an...
Star Wax Original Pomade
Star Wax has clay, as you know, so what about their pomade? The clay was pretty solid; not the greatest ever, but not bad at all. What about the pomade? The Star Wax Original Pomade, first and foremost, is red. Why? Don’t ask questions. I absolutely hate that it’s red, and there’s no rational reason to...
Star Wax Clay
There’s something kind of unsettling about photographing a vegan hair product on a leather ottoman, but what can I say? I’m a barbarian. The Star Wax clay is actually one of the better clays I’ve used, despite a few red flags: vegan, water-based, and “professional.” Vegan products are great for the environment, and if you’re into...
Verb Forming Fiber
Verb is a really cool company, as I’ve mentioned before. The Verb Forming Fiber doesn’t make me think any differently: they’re still really cool. The more I use this hair product line, the more I come to love them. Perhaps my favorite thing about the company is their online demonstrations, which are more useful than...
Clear Men Scalp Therapy Shampoo
When Unilever wanted to send me some of their new Clear Men Scalp Therapy shampoo, I was pretty skeptical. I tend to lump all those big guys into the same category of cheap shampoo that isn’t worth using, despite the low cost–like their other brand Suave. Shudder. However, this Clear Men shampoo is actually not that bad,...
Redken Rewind 06
Redken has been around for years, and people often speak very highly of the brand. However, my experience with the Redken Rewind was a total bust, despite many other people claiming they love it. Either I’m missing something, or I just don’t get it. The purpose of Redken Rewind (I think the “06” refers to the...
Hairbond Shaper
Remember a few weeks ago when we reviewed Hairbond’s Distorter? And then remember how it won our award for “Best Hair Styling Product?” Well, I also tried the Hairbond Shaper and this stuff is just as good, but probably better. The difference between the Hairbond Shaper and Distorter is the hold strength–the Shaper has a...
Hairbond Distorter
Hairbond is a brand new product to the United States, as they just launched their line from the United Kingdom in America. They were nice enough to send over some of their Hairbond Distorter, and I’m certainly glad they did. I’ve used a ridiculous array of hair products in the course of operating this website....
Baxter Hard Water Pomade
Baxter! What happened here? After my introduction to the Baxter line via the greatness of the Clay Pomade, I was truly pumped about this stuff. However, when I used the Baxter Hard Water Pomade, it was a serious disappointment on almost every level imaginable. Think back to the 1990’s. Remember that L.A. Looks stuff we used...
Baxter Clay Pomade
This is my first encounter with a product from the Baxter of California line. Despite the fact that Baxter has been around since 1965, I’ve never been lucky enough to try one of their products out. My good friends at The Motley sent me over this jar of Baxter clay pomade, and I can certainly see...
Lock Stock & Barrel’s Pucka Grooming Creme
The hits keep coming with Lock Stock & Barrel’s Pucka Grooming Creme. The creme is ranked a 3 hold, so it will be less than their Matte Clay, but more than their Volumatte Powder. I was interested to try this out, now that I’ve experienced the highest and lowest holds from Lock Stock & Barrel....
Brooklyn Grooming’s Old School Pomade
Included in Brooklyn Grooming‘s shipment of awesomeness was a sample of their Commando Old School Pomade. This pomade has mineral rich oils that help stimulate growth while keeping your hair looking good. I can’t attest to the first part, since the sample didn’t have enough product to test the hair growth part, but I can speak to...
