Viking Revolution Hair Pomade for Men - Medium Hold - 4 oz

This pomade works well overall. It provides good hold throughout the day without feeling greasy or looking shiny, which I really like. I am still dialing in the right amount to use, but even so, it has been easy to work with. A small amount goes a long way, so the container lasts a long time and offers good value compared to similar products. The scent is mild. It is not very fragrant, but it does not smell bad either, which I personally prefer. Overall, I am happy with this pomade and would recommend it if you are looking for a clean, natural-looking hold. The picture was taken about 7 hours after I put it on and had taken a shirt on and off several times disturbing the hair.

I had always ordered this version of Viking Revolution Pomade for quite some time. This exact type of strength hold. So when I had ordered it recently and opened the canister to use the product, the first thing I actually said (out loud no less) was, "wtf? Did I order the right version I normally get? This feels so different..." Here's the thing. The reason why I give this 2 stars and not 1.. The fact is, they DID change the formula. NOT for the better. I will admit. It IS worse. Will it stop me from buying them? Eh, idk, maybe. It makes me want to go back to the overpriced and overpopularized Suavacito Firme hold. For now, this version of Viking Revolution still has a decent hold and gets the job done. However, I will mention again, it is NOT the same as how it used to be. I thought Viking Revolution was the best because of what you got for the price was such an amazing deal. Good luck.

I gotta give this 4 stars. I have purchased other Viking pommade products and their packaging has improved. This came in a schnazzy box. The product itself is matte in that you don't get a shiny finish but as a matte product I expected more of a natural look. This is definitely more of sculpting clay (as others have said). I usually have to rub some in my wet hands and then dab it in my wet hair and rub pretty vigously then comb through it multiple times to distribute it. Given it's consitancy it holds very well, I run on my lunch break and it holds up the whole day. It also stands up to sweat really well. I have other products that seem to disperse with sweat and I have to redo my hair after my run. With Viking marketing as a "mans man" product I was expecting a woodsy/cedar or boozie scent but it smells like modeling clay. I am surprised because even though this stuff holds up well to sweat it does wash out easily. Overall I would recommend this product to someone looking for a firm hold or "active lifestyle" product.

The main purpose of a pomade is to hold your hair in place. This pomade does that extremely well. If I was eating this just on hold, it would get 5 stars easily. But I'm also eating it on scent and texture. Hold: perfect. Once you style it, it stays that way until you wash it out. It's sometimes a little hard to wash out as I've had to wash my hair twice a few times to feel like I got it all out. Scent: kind of weak. I mostly just smell something similar to beeswax and a very, very faint hint of fragrance. It doesn't smell bad, it just doesn't add a refreshing scent to your hair like other pomades, such as Suavecito. Texture: this is really the big one for me on this pomade. The consistency of this stuff is really weird. It takes a lot for it to break down so you can apply it and once it is applied, it feels really thick in your hair. It's almost like it doesn't separate evenly to allow equal distribution through your hair. It does the job, and really well, but it's an odd experience. Also, if you're not careful, it can leave clumps of pomade in your hair when you apply it. I scratched my head one day and there was just a clump of pomade under my fingernail from where it didn't break down when I applied it. Like I had just taken a glob out of the jar and placed it on top of my head. But I assure you I rubbed it through very well. If the texture wasn't as thick and tough and if it smelled better, this would be a great pomade. But as it stands, I use it as a backup to Suavecito, which is my go to.

I’ve tried a bunch of different brands and this one is good. Doesn’t give me that greasy feeling even after a long night

I have been using this product for about a year now and have been overall satisfied with performance, appearance and value. IMO this is the best value on amazon for mens pomade. I like the matte finish as it does not leave my hair looking wet, there is a mild sheen, but not what I would consider shiny. The product does not have a strong sent, but the mild smell is pleasant. The product applies best to damp hair, as ive found it difficult to spread evenly in wet hands in dry hair. This may be to product consistency, which feels similar to wet paste vs the clear firm gel many other manufactures use. Despite the medium hold label, this feels much more firm, again a positive on my end for thick straight hair. I plan to continue using this product as my primary hair product and have been very satisfied. Great value and hard to find anything else that performs this well at this cost.

UPDATE I’ve used this product for a good while now. I was very pleased when I started using it, but it has changed. And then changed again. And then changed yet again. The last four jars of this product I’ve ordered have all had different consistencies and behaviors. Dry and flaky, super wet and sticky, somewhere in between. It doesn’t wash out as easily, either. If they would pick one and stick with it, I could at least review that particular revision and make a decision on if I’d stick with the product, but I never know what I’m getting now. I won’t be purchasing this again and can’t recommend it. OLD REVIEW I've used this a few weeks now and I'm pretty pleased with it. It reminds me a lot of American Crew Fiber, but is a SIGNIFICANTLY larger amount for a lesser price. The texture and appearance of the product isn't what I typically think of when I hear the word "pomade." It has a medium hold and washes out easily. I'll probably continue purchasing this product.

Great Smell. Great hold. Spikes my short hair all day long.
