How to use: Put a fingernail-sized amount of pomade into the palm of your hand and rub hands together to emulsify. Apply evenly throughout damp or dry hair. Use more product for increased hold and style. Apply product to wet hair for a more wet-look finish. Apply to dry hair for a more natural look, with less definition.

The best
Baxter Cream Pomade is the best stuff I've found. I'm a guy with shorter hair and 1 container lasts me a whole year. Before I found this, everything else I tried was either annoyingly scented or didn't have the right consistency. Cream Pomade gives a natural looking hold, and it allows redoing your hair later in the day with some water if needed. For all the people here saying the formula changed: I asked Baxter about this and they wrote an impressively detailed response, explaining that changes in regulation sometimes require ingredients to be listed differently, and the formula has not changed since at least 2023.

The new formula isn’t worth buying
I have bought the new formula and for a few days I was under the impression that I have bought counterfeit product. Than I have learned about the change in formulation. The new formulation is not worth buying - I have tried it for a few days then I discarded it and I have moved on to another brand. Why mess up with such a good product and change the formula? Hard to understand.

Revert to the old formula.
The formula that they changed to is not good, unfortunately. It’s so quick to dry that I often can’t get it all in my hair before it’s dried on my hands. Also: it doesn’t wash off your hands easily anymore. It’s really strange. Whatever they did, didn’t improve the hold or anything.

Changed the formula
Some time in the past year they changed the formula and it just sucks. Doesn’t hold as well. Please go back to old formula.

Great product. It is very versatile. I think it is best on dry hair after prestyling and blowdrying. The key is to take a small amount and warm it up until clear and it applies very very smoothly and really does smooth and give a natural shine. I would say its more of a medium hold personally. When used this way it is amazing for casual styles for medium ish length thick wavy hair. Ive been using this more than clay pomade actually even though I think clay pomade is the best in baxter line up!

Not my thing
I’m not sure if this product is for me. It doesn’t do much at all. Sorry Baxter..love most of your products but this cream is just that, a cream and mostly just color. I’ll get something that gives a little definition next time.
