The smell alone is worth purchasing this. I really liked this product, great smell, pretty good hold, and washes out easy enough.

Feels healthy and natural. Makes my hair do what i want it too. I can leave it in all day. This is my fourth time buying this stuff. The smells real nice. Pretty sure the guy is a vet too im active duty so this is a no brainer. Johnny slicks forever.

I love it when taking a chance with a new hair product works out! It's euphoric as soon as you open the jar and take a whiff! The natural aromas of tobacco, cedarwood, and juniper berries really come through and are lovely! It's a mix of quality natural ingredients that condition whatever it touches and has a good hold on your hair without making it rigid. Use by itself to style dry or wet hair for a slick sheen, with a blow dryer for more of a matted finish, or a combination of both. When I'm done styling my clean hair, I don't wash it off my hands but rub it all over them because the natural oils and wax are perfect for moisturizing skin protection too. My only pseudo complaint is that it will be very costly to use this product over time since I will blow through and need to replace a 4 oz. jar regularly enough to add up to a good chunk of change, however many other pomade products are comparable in price but only offer 2 oz. jars, so JS is still a better buy across the board.

Honestly, this is not a bad product. I cannot tell you how many different pomade’s I have used, and I do have my preferences, but I wanted to step out of my comfort zone a little bit this time. The smell of this is fantastic. I thought my usual pomade was the best smelling one, but this is just as good. And it’s not strong at all, I don’t get why I’ve seen more than one person say it gives them a headache. This is a pleasant natural scent with not a whole lot of projection on it. Second, everyone keeps saying it’s greasy. What did you expect? It’s oil based. And yeah, it’s a little greasy but it’s nowhere near as greasy as you folks made it sound. I got Johnny slicks because I go for a “greased” look. I can’t understand why someone would buy this product if they didn’t want a slick shiny product in their hair lol. The reason I went with this product is because I usually use a water-based pomade from another company. And water-based pomade, in the current freezing temperature, basically turn into a brick on my head. I wanted a product that would still be pliable in the cold, and not crunchy helmet head. So this product has thus far delivered on what I was looking for. People are complaining about the hold. It literally said low/medium hold on it. And that’s going to depend on 1. Your hair and 2. The amount of product you use. I guess if you’re considering Johnny slicks original oil based pomade…you need to first decide what you want your hair to actually look like. If you want a dry looking silky hold, then no, this isn’t the product for you. If you have long hair, no, this isn’t really going to keep your hair in place. If you’re trying to slick back your hair and have a nice shine to it but you also don’t want helmet head, as i do, I recommend this product. Will purchase again, and we will see how it holds up in the heat, I doubt it will hold very well, so I may have to go back to my other product in the summertime

I originally was fully on board with Johnny slicks, i used the shampoo, conditioner, and all the styling products for months and thought all was well until i went to a salon for a haircut and the stylist informed me of extreme buildup of product in my scalp and hair. The water based pomade isn't water based at all, as water based means water is the base ingredient and water isn't even on the label, and it isn't water soluble at all, every one of their products cause buildup which actually leads to more hair loss as the wax stops new hair from growing properly on the scalp from clogging the pores. The shampoo and conditioner doesn't properly clean the hair and scalp at all which exasperates the issue of the product building up while you use the styling products. It was a horrible, humiliating, and scary experience of how much buildup the products caused, the salon had to wash my hair with a clarifying and a detox shampoo three times and cut my hair way shorter than i wanted since my hair was so compromised. i spent thousands on Johnny slicks and i felt almost betrayed and wish i could get my money back. The whole organic thing is over hyped and just a marketing strategy to charge more for products and get people to spend money, hair loss is caused from hormones, stress, and genetics, there's no scientific evidence that hair styling products cause hair loss, even though the owner Johnny likes to push the idea that they can even though there's no scientific evidence to back that up. Ironically I actually lost way more hair while using johnny slicks than i ever have before, and thought something might be wrong with me, but no it was absolutely the products building up in my hair. After my experience at the hair salon, I'll never use Johnny slicks again, and would never advise anybody to use them.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Bought this for my husband who was having a breakout with his other products. This was a game changer and helped him clear that up. Our only complaint is that it is very difficult to wash off your hands after usage so my husband could not continue long term. Hoping they’ll make one that washes off a little easier so we can come back!

Awesome product. I love the smell of the rugged but the original is great too. It lasts all day and washes out easily. It leaves my hair feeling moisturized and can be used as a skin balm as well. A little goes a long way so I don’t find myself buying it as much as the water based stuff.
