Without further a do, let's start the review!
Packaging: Embalmer's Grease comes in black 4 oz slip on tin with a very very dark theme label. In the background we can see a skull, green in color and written on the top left is Ominous Style Co. also in the middle is the products name, Embalmer's Grease. The font used in this labeling is matched with the overall theme. Dark!
Scent: The brewer initially name the scent for this pomade with Morgue Scent. It is a very clean and aromatic blend of eucalyptus, tea tree and peppermint with a hint of soft lemon. A very pleasant scent that tone down nicely once it reach late afternoon.
Texture: This pomade comes in a yellowish off-white color with a slight dryness texture on the top layer. However, it scoops out very easy considering it is an all natural oil based pomade. Once you smear it in the hand, it break downs easily like a smooth butter with no little tiny beads like any other all natural pomade. Amazing! Moreover, this pomade has some stickiness in it that I believe it will provide a really good assists for the hold.
Day 1
Application: Like any other day, I started my day around 6 AM. I put on around 4 scoops of Embalmer's Grease on damp hair (Clean Hair). The application is supper easy only have a very very slight tension during the 4th scoop, I believe this is due to the stickiness of this pomade but I love it. The stickiness does give an advantage in the styling process, it has given me full control, what I mean is each time you comb through, your hair will stay in place like you want it to be. Thus, it is enabling me to style my hair very sharp and slick with some good amount of height. Due to the stickiness of this pomade, definitely it does provide more hold and somewhat I can say that this pomade act more like a medium towards firm hold pomade and somewhat reminded me a lot with Flagship Medium Hold Vegan Pomade. This is great!
Performance: I started my day with indoor activities (Office) and it does perform really well, my hair did not move at all until lunch break approached. I've tried to re-comb my hair and yes it is still very smooth to comb through and as like I mentioned before, this pomade stays in place each time you comb through. The re-comb lasted till the time I knock off from work.
My evening continues till midnight as I hang out with some buddies. This pomade lasted till midnight and the amazing part is that I was hanging out in a semi-outdoor area with some high humidity and heat. My hair is still in tact thanks to the stickiness it provides and let me tell you the shine has become really amazing by midnight even though the hold has given up just a little. Superb pomade!
Day 2
Build up: Another good part about this pomade is on the build up. The build up is clean with some waxiness still in tact. It is slightly greasy but feels very light in the hair. And yes there is some residue of stickiness along.
Application: As I have a build up, I'm putting up another two small scoops of Embalmer's Grease to touch up. The application is so smooth on the second day, and I believe the build-up plays a big part with it so there is no more tiny tension. The styling process is a breeze and as I was rushing, I just comb my hair with only 4-5 swipes and done slick. I love the consistency and how reliable this pomade is.
Performance: And as you all know as a white collar, I started my activities in office area in the morning till lunch break. And as I mentioned before, this pomade is reliable and perform very well as my hair does not move at all. I continue my day in outdoor activities with some of my colleagues and again Embalmer's grease perform really well under the sun and humidity. The day continues till around 5:30 PM without re-combing and hell yeah it is still in place. Great pomade!
Overall: Ominous Style Co. Embalmer's Grease Medium Hold is a very good and reliable All Natural Pomade. It scoops out very very easy for an all natural pomade and it gives you the right amount of stickiness that providing you that medium towards firm hold. A very well balance control for styling your hair plus it performs really well under the sun and humid weather. Impressive Nic! And if you have not have a tin of this, you are truly missing out.
