Reviews

Barb is the Best!

"I’m a 67 year old woman with a pixie cut. The Barb clay pomade is perfect for my fine hair. One small dab rubbed into the palm of my hand and into my hair gives me the perfect amount of volume and great texture giving me that slightly messy spiky look! I love it!"

— Beth S. (5/5)

"This is my second time purchasing this pomade, at first I thought it was “pricey” but a little goes a long way!! The first jar lasted about a year! And for what it does for my hair, well that’s worth every penny and then some. Gives my hair volume and hold without being stiff or greasy. BONUS: after having my hair smashed inside a motorcycle helmet I can just run my fingers through my hair, give it a little shake and the pomade does its job and the style is back! Costumer service is AMAZING if you have any issues. All around winning product!"

— Jessica (5/5)

Daily use

"I love my Barb, and have shared it with my short hair friends. Nice hold, not too stiff, not highly fragrances, just right!"

— Kathleen B. (5/5)

I Use This Every Day!

"This is a wonderful product for those of us who have shorter hair styles. I like the feel of it and it helps my fine hair have some structure. Love it!"

— Suellen H. (5/5)

Best*Best*Best!

"I start with Barb Styling Cream on damp hair and shape with a dryer. Then I finish off with the Clay Pomade. Great hold without being supper gritty, washes out very easily. Best hair products I have found - wish I had switched over sooner!!"

— Ryan B. (5/5)

So far so good

"My order was delivered promptly and I received the correct item. I am very happy that the pomade has no strong chemical smells. Most salon products are too strong for me. I’m having fun experimenting with different looks for my short hair!"

— Julie S. (5/5)

Love it!

"I used a product for many years that must have sold to a new company. They changed the formula and it was horrible. I have searching for something the same or better for several years and I finally found it with Barb! Thank you! I will definitely keep purchasing. 😊"

— Janis M. (5/5)

The smell

"Seems to work pretty well on dry hair, however the smell is very off putting. I'm annoyed I didn't get the unscented version. I'll stick it out but I have to hold my breath when I use it."

— Chrisula T. (3/5)

Soft ClY Pomade

"I love this product. Never greasy or oily and gives me volume and style in a minute."

— Cheryl D. (5/5)

Love Barb

"My husband and I both love the pomade. . we've been using it for some time and will continue to use it"

— Mary M. (5/5)
