I'm surprised by the many dislikes. God damn, he's just expressing his experience with the pomade, and you all have to understand that it's his hair, HIS GENETICS and his own perspective of the product. I mean... I love Suavecito too, and I don't feel offended by his opinion.
I started with this pomade... and thought I liked it. However, once I started testing out other brands, I completely agree with everything you're saying here. I previously thought pomades were supposed to be dry because of this product lol.
Guys, don't hate on him or suavecito, In my opinion cam is one of the best pomade reviewers, alongside with the pomp, but I love suavecito, it's not a special product, but it's a cheap pomade that does what it has to do! Works for me, if you style it right!
The only thing good about this pomade is this review explaining how bad is it. This pomade is the flagship for bad, wedge looking, pulled back pompadours. Feelings and experiences with this stuff is mutual. As always, great and fun-to-watch reviews!
I have thick, wavy hair. As soon as any moisture comes in contact with it, game over. My pomp starts to slowly split and curl up. This is why oil based pomades just do not work at all for me. Suavecito works for me because it holds right away which is what I need. I don't use a whole lot either. Just a couple fingers worth. The trick is with hair like mine is to apply it damp and blow dry it. Set it to high heat and use a curling brush to construct it. As soon as you get the overall shape down, switch the hair dryer to cold to set it. This way, you still have the volume, the hold without the lego, boxy look you're describing. The whole process doesn't take longer than a couple of minutes
it leaves your hair hard like a hair spray.. i agree it doesn't really feel like pomade ..can't really do your hair or change it any time you please.. it stays how u left it. it takes away that feeling of doing your hair anytime anywhere u want. still a good product to use depending on you hair
I think it depends on the style you're going for and your hair type, I just want a full slick back and I have wavy and I don't always have time to use a hair dryer so this might work for me
Ha ha ha ! I agree and I don't like the scent. I bought it instead of Layrite firm hold but don't seem to get what I want out of it. What Pomade would you recommend for slick hair style that is waterbased
+ItsWrxck (itsWreckz) He said he had to use it for about 3 weeks. Provided he styled his hair every single day of the week, that thing won't even last a month. I style my hair about 3-4 times a week and barely get a month out of it.
I know you might not have any reason to try it, but if you add a tiny bit of Royal Crown as a top coat it won't dry out. And it holds better than Royal Crown alone.
Fact: every time somebody on the internet expresses a negative opinion about something, 193 people simultaneously sh*t their pants and scream "HOW DARE YOU DISLIKE SOMETHING I LIKE!!!". World peace? We cant even agree to disagree on a hair product! LOL!
are water based pomades not supposed to leave that feel in your hair? The feel that suavecito has? I use it and it does make the top of my hair somewhat hard like gel and the undernear is sort as if i havent applied it well even though i did. So do most water based pomades not feel like this in your hair? or am i not applying this right?
Try out some unorthodox water bases and there are gel type water bases that don't leave the hair dry. Anything by cool grease, tremolo's, and Valentinos, just to name a few
+Cameron A Not to hate or anything but, maybe it's your hair type that makes.you hate it it might be the texture of your hair go to "The Pomp" he's a really good RU-vidr and so are you and the RU-vidr I just told you about has no problem with Suavecito Pomade not any other with a pomp but....yea.
It does all come down to the hair type. Oil based pomades are a nightmare for my naturally curly hair. 5 minutes in, and pomp is gone due to the moisture. I can't re-comb all day. Gel type pomades will hold my pomp right away and won't have to worry about re-combing.
I like this pomade......but I do slick backs like you do alot and I usually need to grab water spray bottle because this stuff is so heavy and strong. Works better for shorter hair like for a crew cut or something. I love the smell of it though.
+Ghassan Bachour Let me give suggestion base on my experience as pomade user. So you want something that could hold your style and does not give a shine right? My answer is Lockhart's Heavy! Trust me, you'll love it!
The ONLY water-based hair-styling product I do recommend for people to use is Groom & Clean. Because that stuff is healthy for your hair, gives it a classic shine and a light hold.
+Cameron A I use a moderate hold high shine water based first then apply the Original Suavecito. The oils in the first make Suavecito softer so i can recomb it if i need to. but i totally agree with you, by itself, it sucks.
haha "Suavecito smells like suavecito" i just tried it for the first time and i dont like it cause it reminds me of that middle school gel you spike your hair up with. any special recommendations for the wavy/thick hair types? itd be nice. im wanting something that just gets rid of the waves and brings the whole pomp forward. Thanks!
Been using this for years I love the look and how it smells especially the seasonal suavecito pomade. I have very thick natural Native/Mestizo straight hair and it works great. You can pull off the classic pachuco look with this shit.
I agree with you on most parts. I just use it only when i have to do sports because of the hold it has. Other than that, i wouldn't use it on a casual day. lol
Testify bro when I used that stuff it was fine at first but then when it hardens the slightest touch I made to my hair my strands would pop out 😠 and I had to run to the nearest sink just to wet and fix my hair.Plus I can buy 3 cans of Dax for price of that crap lol
I am French and my English is not very fluent. I use the pomade Suavecito for 2 years but I ever tested nothing of other one. I look for a pomade easier to apply and not too brilliant. I thought of trying Reuzel, what do you think about it? What color do you advise me? Thank you very much
I’m usually in hurry cause I have to be at work at 6am and I’m not a morning person. This stuff takes up time for when I’m running late lol I’ve preferred using moco de gorilla since it’s faster to apply and forget about. 🍌
I cannot disagree with him in regard to the product being like a gel......that’s why I use it on shorter hairstyles. It works well for that. The original Suavecito pomade stays a little more maleable and is better for longer hair.
Cameron A! love your vids! I agree with your feelings on Suavecito Firm BUT have you tried/reviewed Suavecito Premium Blends? I've been using it for a few weeks and I'm pretty impressed! Your thoughts?
oh well... at least i figured out what you had to say about it, but im sure you have dealt with lots more prestigious pomades. suavecito in summary though is kinda cheap but i assume if you know how to work it it may work good for you. but either way your still my favorite pomade, pompadour youtuber.
Never had issues with Suavecito Pomade, at least not any of the ones you're talking about. Love using the stuff, I do like the scent. I guess it depends on your hair and how you apply it.
well, I use it, and let me tell you, it does good job with my hair, I can do a pretty descent pomp (and I say that because my hair is not that long), maybe thats your point of view, but believe me, it makes my hair look good, it does a tremendous job doing it! both of them the original and the Firme hold :)
Sauvecito is a really great product i dont understand why people hate it its not even bad at all there are some others that are way worse such as mocho de gorilla web wax or somethind like that
I still use it when I can get my hands on it but it honestly feels really bad in the hair. Like just how hard it gets isn't fun and how it leaves my hair feeling really dry. Hell I've used Murray's Superior and have gotten better results.
Well suavecito is my oh crap I'm late to work don't wanna use my good shit type of GEL Pomade because at the end of the day that's just what is is a gel pomade that washes out like gel don't get me wrong it's ok and reasonable to buy but it does dry up fast when your trying to style your hair unless your hair is damp overall I give it a 3/10 stars lol😉
Well said man lol my everyday goto is blvd nights but if I'm late for class for something and I don't have the chance to fully style my hair I'll grab some of this and run out the door!
I recommend the oil based suavecito pomade .. gives that classic 50s look plus heterosexual men doesn’t use it that much 😂cause mostly hipsters or heterosexual men uses water based pomade ...
I have thick, wavy, hard to control hair and of the hundreds of dollars I've wasted on hair products I've had the most success with the original water based Suavecito. When you use the Suavecito again try combing through it 2 or 3 times and then just let it sit for 10 minutes. Only when I do that can I have maximum control. If I immediately start styling it then I can't ever make it work.
I absolutely love this pomade. It does nothing like the way he describes it to my hair. You may using more than you need. It doesn't leave my hair feeling like a gel at all. Really don't understand how you can hate this product so passionately and still use it. You couldn't scrounge up 12 bucks to buy your favorite?
Woah a water based pomade I feel so bad for you. This is a good product for my hair and it never dries up. You should try using a prestyler and it works perfectly
I use suavecito and really enjoy it. I like your vids cameron and im not trippin you dont like the product is alright because i like it and it works just fine
i love your reactions to the pomade! the only pomades i've used so far are suavecito firme, and layrite strong hold and i've had the same problems. it'd take me forever to style my hair the way i wanted it to. ive also used suavecito the original and it's pretty weak. hoping to get some better pomades when i have money
Well, I suggest that you try Murray's superior pomade for a starter. and your right you'd want to avoid modern day orthodox pomades like suavecito and layrite because they are basically gel . to sum it up you know your pomade is in trouble when it guarantees super strong hold but says it washes out very easy, so for a future reference try to avoid those types of pomades.👔
Andrew Nguyen try lock harts, pomps not dead, Shear Revival, O'duds, etc for some great oil based or non-drying water based pomades. Murray's really isn't great and may turn you off to oil based pomade
dudewuttheheck yeah ive been planning to try those pomades because i've been watching a lot of reviews about them. and i agree. heard that murray's is really hard to get out and apply from what i remember. probably gonna try out the non-drying water based pomades so that i can wash it out of my hair easily, but im open to oil based that feels healthy in the hair and not too dirty
I use the original hold one, and that is MUCH BETTER than the firme hold. MUCH MUCH better. And the scent isn't as potent either. And applies a hell of a lot nicer too.
hahaha never thought we'd get so much negativity about a product from cam :D But I do get him. While I still, to some extent, enjoy the original, th efirm hold is just like a super super dense gel. It's actually the only water based pomade out there where I have trouble to recomb even when wet-combing.
Super late comment but I love your videos Cameron! I disagree about Suavecito, I just got some of the best roundness/forward shape with it. But I'm fully on board with that Reuzel pink. These are my two go-to's.
Hey there! I've watched some of your videos and decided to subscribe! I see you're starting to review more Indonesian pomades, that's great! If you're ever going to review another one, please review Death Pomade Hellrider, I recommend it to you as you don't like a very waxy pomade and yet still want awesome hold in your hair.
*I like Suavecito. There's a barber in Miami that has the logo tatted on him. If I were to guess what pomades are bad, I'll say anythin' that you could find at Walgreens, CVS, or Wal-Mart... How are the Johnny B products??*
I'm glad I haven't wasted my money on this stuff. You aren't the first person I've heard say that this stuff sucks. I'll stick with Lockhart's, Black and White, O'Douds, Sweet Georgia Brown, King Brown, Tres Flores, and Type 550 Extra Firm.
I thought i liked this product but since i stopped i realized it sucked, i dont do pompadours, never was my style, but i still like a shiny greased look, this stuff would make my hair crunchy like gel and completely suck the life out of it
I Luv Suavecito Pomade Actually I'd Use It When Every Time I Go To Some Events Like Friends Reunion And Go To School The Scent Is Actually Ok My Father Even Like It But I More Like Murrays Pomade That I Use From My Friends
First video i see that doesn't like suavecito lol i havent used it so far the only water base "pomade" i use is TresFlores. Need to buy the briliantine. Im a tomboish girl (mexican curls) & ive always used gel and hair spray and recently started to use pomade. Ponytale slick my sides and a lil loose on top slick back. Aniways funny video (x
I do agree with you bro, This product got wayyyyy over hyped, honestly people like it because it's a trend.. Sadly people would always say this was a shit pomade when i used it about 4 years ago , now that its a trend all of the sudden this pomade is the best, pfft! More like the most over rated product...
Have you noticed its the same formula as layrite? these two pomades just used different scents, and if thats the case then people should treat layrite with the same respect they show suavecito, right?
WOW. Everything he says about this product I found the opposite. I'd rate the firme hold only a 7 out 10, but it's not as bad as he says. When I look at his hair I can assume he has different standards than me. His looks and speaking abilities are not impressive; making videos might not be his calling. I am sure he is a nice guy.
why are all the comments made by americans have to do with mothers and racism and politics? guys it's just hair. we are all watching these videos to get fair reviews so we don't waste coin on hair products. at the end of the day gentleman we all want to go out there and look our best. let's keep a civil tongue. also i am super mixed. puerto rican and irish. i have never used suavecito but our man gives a good review. kudos on the video bro. thumbs down to the comment section
myfoodishere probably because suavecito is a more commonly used with Latinos even the pomade itself is called suavecito a Spanish word meaning soft or smooth. Firme hold the word firme in slang term used by chicanos mean fine or appealing. So as you can guess anything associated with Latinos and white or trump will always be a debate. It was all because of the stupid wall speech that's the source for the bullshit.
I don't think you gave this pomade a fair review. It holds way better than gel when you put it in and I find it works best when you put it in towel dried hair and work it until it is tacky. You can mold any style with this stuff, a drop of water to restyle and it doesn't come out of your hair like gel if you reconstitute it. Its perfect for people who want the pomade work ability without the greasy feel.
damn you're entertaining! I agree with you on the suavicito. i have to use a good conditioner when washed out... it sucked the life out of my hair! so to sum up:... it sucked
