Hipster Pomade Hero Review<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The Pomade wave is still going strong, in fact there\u2019s endless number of new brands surfacing from every corner of the world. Today we have Hipster Pomade, a brand from Malaysia that was born 2015. With the comeback of pompodour trends and vintage barbers, the founders of Hipster Pomade realized the need for a local product to support and meet the demands in Malaysia. As a Malaysian, I am super proud of this brand, the hard work to grow something from zero to HERO! Hence, we chose the Hipester Pomade Hero from their wide range of products for our review today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Water Based Pomade<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design and Packaging<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Housed in a tin like packaging, it is well coated probably to prevent any rust since it is a water based product. Hopefully, it doesn\u2019t rust like the anologue paste tin jar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design reminds me designs you can find in motor racing posters in the 80s. It is very light and weighs at 100g. This means it is safe to bring on board together with yourcarry on luggage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scent<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The scent is somewhat like a cologne, a little minty and slightly melon fruity. It is quite strong and noticeable throughout the day. You don\u2019t really need to wear a cologne when using this product. Personally, the scent is quite plesant<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Texture<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is pretty much like your standard water based pomade with gel like texture. The semi transparent pomade can be easily scooped out and broken down on your hand palm. Pretty much similar to Daimon Barber No. 5<\/a>, but it is slightly \u201cthicker\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is quite viscous and sticky especially when you try to spread throughout your hand. The stickiness does reminds me of the Barbers Pomade<\/a>. However, after breaking it down, you can feel that it becomes much lighter and a little dry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Application<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For this water based product, it is best applied on towel dried hair. As for the first test, I applied on a dry hair, and the second on damped hair. I have to say it is most advisable to apply it on towel dry hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Application was pretty smooth even though it does feel quite sticky. It is advisable to use both comb and your fingers to achieve a good slick back or pompadour. After the application, you will feel some hardening and my hair did clump together. This is expected since is almost like a gel type pomade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restyling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For me, restyling required around 1 time a day. If you spend most of your time indoors and air conditioned, no restyling required<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Medium High Shine, pretty slicked<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volume<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I would say it\u2019s moderate. Since blow dry is a bad idea, the best I could do was trying to comb a slick back style, using my hands to volumize it. However, it does not really stands out in terms of volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strength <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
