UPPERCUT DELUXE Monster Hold Pomade Midi, Heavy and Strong Hold Wax Based Product, Long Lasting and Reworkable For Traditional or Bolder Styles 0.9 oz / 30g

This is a review of BOTH Uppercut Deluxe Pomade and Uppercut Monster Hold Pomade. (I have no idea why Amazon puts reviews for both on the same page.)I have short hair and was looking for a product I could use to push my hair back and have it stick up straight. (For years I used Woody's Headwax Pomade, but they reformulated it and the new product stinks.) Uppercut Monster Hold and Uppercut Deluxe are the absolute best I found! The hold is fantastic for both, but the Monster Hold's hold is just slightly better -- makes my hair immediately stand straight up, and it stays up all day. (Although Deluxe does this well, too, but again, Monster is a tiny bit better at it.) Also, Monster Hold and Deluxe both don''t make your hair hard like gel. With Monster Hold your hair will feel a little bit waxy, but I don't mind. With Deluxe, your hair will feel a bit stiff, but not that hard. Both of them give a medium shine, too. A big difference is the smell. Monster Hold has barely any smell, while Deluxe has a strong smell, which I actually really like. Also, Monster Hold is more like a harder wax in the canister, whereas the Deluxe is more gooey (but not in a bad way). If you're looking for great hold without making your hair hard, I highly recommend trying both of these! I think I might switch off between both because I love both of them.

Awesome cover for this time of year.

Awesome awesome pomade. Holds all day and in most cases even till the next day. The only down side is that it stays on your fingers and is hard to wash off. But that should in no way be a deterrent. Perfect product.

I've tried a fair amount of pomades trying to find the one that fits my hair. This one is a home run. It's not too thick like Murray's so it goes in my hair easy and had a great hold. When I pop it in and style it in the morning, I barely have to fix my hair when night time comes around. So reliable. It also smells great which may not mean a lot but it's better than having it smell like s***. The only thing I have to gripe about is the price, 18 dollars is way too much for a 2.8 oz container of pomade in my opinion. It does last a long time though once you have it applied. There have been times I've crashed after work and woken up with product still in; all that it needs is a combing and a little hairspray and it's good to go.

Good product to use but definitely need a couple of hair washing to get rid of it at the end of the day. Does a good job on holding hair in place but the smell isn’t as strong.

I wanted to like this, but it just does not have the monster hold I was hoping for. Opening the tin, the pomade seems super stiff as many have mentioned, but after digging a finger into it I found the consistency to be a little softer than I had imagined. Once you get a scoop out, it spreads in your hands really easily and feels neither dry nor sticky which I was hoping for, instead feeling a little greasier. My issue is that with curly 5 inch hair, I need something to tame the curls and this has after a few days been unable to do that. It is not bad at all, it achieves a good look and I am sure I will continue to use it, but as of right now it will not be my go-to. I have been using Uppercuts clay pomade and THAT is stiff and tough to get out of the tin, and once you do it definitely tugs when applying it to your hair and achieves the look I am going for, but I was hoping to find something with the same hold but more shine and imagined this would be it. Compared to Lockharts Heavy Hold, this is much greasier while Lockhart is stickier, providing a better hold with less runoff, and it lasts longer. If you do not have curly hair I am sure this will work fine, but not what I was looking for.

Excellent for the hair

This used to be my go-to item, but for some reason it was unobtainable for like 6 months so I had to find something else. Trying several different products I ended up trying Suavecito oil-based pomade and I'll never go back. The Suavecito is such a better product and I would have never figured that out if uppercut didn't stop producing Monster hold. I was a die-hard monster old guy. But the Suavecito is such a better product washes out of my hair keeps my hair exactly as shiny as I want it to be. Washes off my hands super easy. Never going back to uppercut again!
