Happy New Year again everyone. I am still in the blog redesign process, but I wanted to post this review for Morrocco Method Styling Pomade.
The Pomade is style defining cream with a mild to medium hold. It is very creamy in consistency and smells very “natural”. It is hard for me to place the smell, it’s not fruity, florally or herbally, but it’s definitely not a scent I’m fond of. All of Morrocco Method’s products are 100% natural, vegan, cruelty free and gluten free.
I first used the pomade on clean, dry hair to twist my hair up for my “Twisted PinUp, Twistout Bangs” style. Based on the directions, I sprayed a bit of water onto my hand to dampen it, emulsified the pomade (it turned milky) and applied it to each twist. I was pleasantly surprised at how shiny my twists were, considering the pomade contained both Shea butter and Beeswax (which can both be waxy) high on the ingredient list. My twists were also very soft and well defined.
Speaking of ingredients while they are GREAT for the most part, I was a bit curious about the use of Borax in the pomade, and I contacted the company to ask them about it. In their response, they stated that it was used to emulsify the beeswax. I did do some research and found that this is a regular practice, however, I’m not sure if I’m 100% ok with continuously using products with Borax.
I wore the twists pinned up for a few days, then took them down once to moisturize and retwist. When I took the twists down, they were still very soft. I spritz with water, emulsified a tiny bit of the pomade in my hair (for my entire head) and retwisted.
On New Year’s Eve, I took down the twists and did this messy updo with bangs. My hair was very soft, but it also felt “producty” due to the beeswax which offers great hold, but is known to build up. I didn’t experience other flaking or dullness which often accompanies buildup, so that’s a plus.
Have you tried any products from Morrocco Method? I’d love to hear your experience.
Until next time
Thank you so much Brittay. I hope the review was helpful 🙂
Your hair looks gorgeous! I’m so curious about this product and it’s nice to see a review of it. I haven’t used any Morrocco Method products yet, so I’m doing some digging. Thanks for the review!
Thanks Yemi. Yes it’s nice and creamy and does a great job. Then there’s that Borax thing lol
Lovely review…not sure about Borax either, but looks rich and creamy! Thanks for sharing!!
