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.

I have thick medium length hair and my biggest issue with other products have been their inability to properly hold my hair in place without the help of something like hairspray. I'm happy to say that Suavecito Pomade Firme holds everything as I want. I've not had the need to reapply throughout the day or really mess with it at all after the initial styling. If I do have to restyle, I've found the pomade to still be soft enough to restyle without the need of water as suggested. The pomade lasts all day and when it's time to wash it out, it seems like it runs off immediately upon contact with water from the shower. This is good for when you want it off but should act as a caution for rainy days. I've seen a few other reviews mention the smell of the pomade. Some people enjoy it and others hate it. I would consider myself in the middle. The smell is absolutely noticeable but I don't hate it. I haven't been able to associate it with anything in particular but I would say that it falls in the category of a strong, stereotypical man smell. Imagine Brut aftershave, Drakkar Noir and the like. I'm not saying that this pomade smells like those products but it has that strong in your face factor. This is going to be something that you'll have to experience for yourself and form your own opinion. I'm just glad that I don't need to use too much product to style my hair so it's not like I'm bathing my hair in cologne. Overall, this is the best hair product for styling that I've found. I'll be using Suavecito Pomade Firme for the near future and can happily recommend it.

Für mich eine der besten wasserbasierten Pomaden. Der Duft ist grandios. Der Halt ist top...man hat Zeit zum stylen, aber danach hält das Haar (zumindest bei kürzeren). Der Look ist zwischen wet und dry. Es sieht gepflegt aus, aber es fällt auch auf, dass man nicht einfach nur Gel in den Haaren hat. Das Auswaschen ist easy! Einfach nur Shampoo und Wasser und fertig.

I adjusted my review to 5 stars. I was using this on dry hair ehivh was not effective. With damp hair, this pomade has a excellent strong hold. Everything else is great. My old review: "I would give it 4.5 stars if I could. My only negative about it is that its not as strong of a hold as I hoped for. But I guess it makes sense for a water-based pomade. Everything is great: easy to wash out, smell is okay, not greasy. If you wanted a very strong hold and easy to wash like I did, I think there really isnt much out there. Just use this for day to day and a wax pomade for the times you really want a strong hold."

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。

Tenuta forte, profumo delicato e persistente. Un classico.
