@patrickBOOTH do you use any conditioner? And which Dr Bonners do you use? Sorry if this question was asked before.
I have pretty thick hair and have been shampooing with some regular stuff they sell at most stores. When I shampoo my hair always ends up being extremely frizzy and poofy. I use B&B Sumotech and it gives me a hold with a little bit of sheen, but I usually put my hands through my hair an hour or so after I apply it so it looks more natural. I have a habit of shampooing everyday because I feel like the product is still in my hair even after I shampoo.
I had a quick run with the Baxter of California Clay Pomade this morning. I did get the promised firm but flexible hold and matte finish. However, I'm not convinced if I like it or not.
The smell of fennel may put some folks off. I love it (I also eat quite a lot of it, so that's that). The consistency is hard at first, but when you work it in your hands, it gets nice and creamy very fast. It almost feels like it totally dissolves between your palms and I had a hard time knowing if I got enough in my hair at first. It sure helped with the volume my hair already had from blow drying it before going to bed yesterday and it does look fuller than before. After working the clay pomade in my dry hair, I had the promised hold but not the suspected control. Actually, I had a lot of fly away hairs popping out of every other corner. Granted, I do need a cut, but I didn't have as many hairs flying out of shape before putting the pomade in. Hold and volume are a big plus, but gainign control over fine fly away hair might take some time getting used to.
Does any of you gents have some experience with the Baxter Clay Pomade and the issues I had? Any second opinions?
