Probably the best matte pomade you'll find
By Alex on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2018
Maybe it's a bit early for me to be rating this product 5 stars, but with every other hair product I've used, I know whether I like or dislike something about it within a few days; at this point in time, I can definitely say this is the best pomade I've used to date. I have tried at least 5 other brands, all water-based, some of which were medium hold and some strong hold. This claims to be a medium hold product but held up better throughout the day than Imperial's strong hold pomade. I was exposed to heat, humidity, and cold all in one day. None of the other stuff I've used has ever come out looking the way Byrd did by the end of the day. Every brand has their own scent added to their product, and this one is, again, the best in that regard. It is very subtle and unique, and you won't smell it unless you're up close. A plus in my opinion, as every other product I've used, was perceptible from a distance, like cologne. The finish is definitely matte as the packaging suggests. The finish a hair product leaves in my hair is something I'm very picky about. Despite claiming to be low shine, Imperial's pomade left my hair looking clumpy and wet like a gel. Byrd's pomade looks very natural, almost like you aren't using any product at all. I've also used Suavecito's matte product. Byrd's pomade is much easier to work through your hair and seems to have a much stronger hold. This is a great product so far. I haven't found anything to dislike about it so far. If I do, I'll update the review.

Disappointed… formula has changed.
By Ryan B. on Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2025
I’ve used this clay for years and it was great, but the formula seems to have changed. It’s less gritty than before (in a bad way… the grit is part of the point of using a clay). It doesn’t hold nearly as well and leaves the hair looking fluffier. And it was only available in a two pack so now I’m stuck with the new crappier version for a long long time…
