Aveda Brilliant Anti-Humectant Pomade is the first product that started my love affair with Aveda. I can't say enough good things about Aveda and no I am not being paid to say that nor sponsored. I spend my hard earned money on this and it is well work it. LOL.
This pomade is a wonderful product that I discovered when I was looking for some hair oil while living in NYC. I didn't want to go the traditional hair oil route by buying some cheap petroleum-based product in a drugstore so I settled on this and I am glad I did. The only issue I have with it is that it smells like men’s after-shave or cologne, which is not necessarily a bad thing. The scent is just a bit strong for my taste.
Features:
2.6 oz white jar
This product's consistency is a thick, creamy oil and is white in color. It smells like men’s after-shave or cologne. It melts well into warm palms of your hands and it is oily but in a subtle, moisturizing way.
The product comes with a tiny fold out label in the back that lists ingredients and instructions on usage. An interesting thing I found is their "fragrance" blend. Aveda uses its own "Pure-Fume" aroma with jasmine, rose and other pure flower and plant essences. I think this is great because most hair and skin care products use synthetic scents.
Product description from Aveda's website: "This satiny pomade repels moisture from your hair, helping to prevent frizziness and flyaways. Tames curls to give hair a polished look. Excellent in humid weather. Work through hair before or after styling."
First 5 ingredients: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Isopropyl Palmitate, C18-36 Acid Triglyceride, Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-1 and Bis-Diglyceryl Polyacyladipate-2.
Grade: I give this product an A+ because over all it is a great moisturizer and fights frizz well. It aids in a great Afro blowout and it does everything Aveda claims it will do. The smell of it is the only drawback for me.
