Ingredients
Organic dry-rendered grass-fed/finished beef tallow, beeswax.
So not only is tallow amazing for your skin, it is INCREDIBLE for your hair and scalp! It's full of vitamins and essential fatty acids to feed, repair, condition, and revitalize hair. But if you're just looking to strengthen, de-frizz, and help prevent hair breakage/split ends, our Tallow or Marrow Skin Creams can take care of that for you
Our Cowlick Tallow Pomade will whip that mop into shape and keep it there 'til you say otherwise (AND make your hair healthier while doin' it)!
Why this pomade over others? Because it's two, 100% natural ingredients. Why only two? Because it doesn't need more. No fragrances for you and everyone around you to be choked out by. No petroleum ("petrolatum", if they tryina lipstick that pig). No sulfates, no parabens, no phthalates (because nothing good comes from a word that starts out "phth"). None of any of it.
How to use:
Works best with clean, fresh-out-the-shower, towel-dried hair.
Start with a garbanzo bean-sized amount and rub it between your hands to warm and soften it up until smooth and lump-free.
Working back to front, begin shmuzhing the pomade into your hair, working it out to the tips until evenly distributed. At this point, you've likely achieved that medium-hold, messy, couldn't-give-a-shit look but this is your party. Should you still find your locks lacking drama, add more a little at a time as described above to your bouffant's content. Don't let that Marcy and her new bangs steal your thunder.
Real talk:
There are two general types of pomade: oil-based and water-based. The first pomades were all oil-based. In fact, they were animal fat-based (until a byproduct of crude oil waste called petroleum jelly came along). Cowlick is an oil-based pomade. While its ingredients are as natural as they come and it only does good things for your hair, without some serious showertime attention, it takes a vigorous wash to get your hair product-free again. I know that may make water-based pomades sound attractive, but they achieve oil-based results through either the use of wacko chemicals or an emulsification of oils and water (which means you're basically using an oil-based pomade that adds water for bulk and is still just about as hard to wash out). There IS a trick to making the process less headachy though: hot-ass water and a good, quality, natural soap.
And, as always -
No Dyes
No Fragrances
No Chemicals
No Preservatives

I’m busy. And, I hate writing reviews, because I’m frankly convinced that 98% are written by bots anyway, so why would anyone pay attention to them in the first place? Yet here I am, taking the time to write one. Why? Because I bet I’ve tried more than 100 different hair products over the years, trying to find one that just does what I want it to do. There always seems to be some compromise, and I’m left just shy of satisfied. But, now I think I’m done looking. Seriously. This Cowlick stuff actually does everything I’m looking for. Everything. Will it do the same for you? How the hell should I know? We don’t even know each other. I don’t know the first thing about your or your hair. So, I can’t answer your silly question. But I’ll tell you about my experience, and you can make your own choice on that.
I have reddish brown hair, and I’ve alway sorta hated the color. So, I end up looking for products that keep a bit of a “wet” look, because it makes it look a shade darker. Weird? Probably, but that’s what I like, and this stuff delivers. It’s sorta modest about it though; not overly wet, and definitely not greasy looking. More like a lightweight gelled look. If you’re with me so far, then let’s move on to how it feels.
I don’t want that stiff feel that you get with typical gels. Frankly, I guess I don’t really care that much, but I have to believe my wife is more likely to run her fingers through it if it isn’t crunchy, you know? At the same time, neither one of us want it to feel oily and greasy. I don’t want to touch my hair and then feel like I have to wash my hands. Ain’t no one got time for that. But guess what? This ain’t that either. My hair feels like…my hair. Maybe a little light feel of product, but it’s almost non-existent. Total non-factor here.
But does it hold my hair? Does it keep the style? Look buddy, I wouldn’t be writing all this crap if it didn’t, would I? Right. Honestly, it’s like some sort of black magic or something. Everything just stays put. But, it’s flexible, so if the wind blows it around, I can just restyle it. Voila! Boom. Crazy.
Okay, last but not least, this stuff smells like…nothing. That’s it. Nothing at all. No funky smell concocted in some lab that’s supposed to smell manly, or sexy, or mysterious, or whatever the hell else seemingly every other product under the sun tries to accomplish. And I love that about this stuff. If I want to wear some cologne, the smell of my hair isn’t competing with it. If I don’t, and just want to not smell like anything, it’s on board with that too. Huge, huge plus in my book.
So there it is. If this was too long and you skipped to the end, here’s the cliff notes: this gives my hair a moderate wet look; it has almost no feel in my hair, and doesn’t leave it either crunchy or greasy/oily; it has awesome control, allowing me restyle through the day if I need/want; and it has no odor at all. I’ve already bought more, just to ensure I don’t run out.
