JOHNNY’S CHOP SHOP #1 Men's Hair Styling Matte Paste Pro-Quality Strong Hold, Lasting Texture, Natural Look Soybean Oil Protection & Hydration 2.6 oz

After years of testing different pomades, clays, etc, this one is my favorite. I get near instant hold that sets up FAST and lasts all day. I have literally tried dozens of hair products and this is my favorite. The smell could be better, but it's not entirely unpleasant. I love that it's quick to hold and it's beeswax based.It seems to be off the market now. PLEASE BRING IT BACK!!!

Originally bought this while visiting the UK and now can’t do without it. Great texture, doesn’t clump and works well if spritzed with water. Do not leave to dry out or it’s harder to use.

My husband’s review:Hold is sensitive to temperature, as in this product fails to hold much value in - cold and dry - as well as - hot and humid - weather, rendering it useless for my needs at least given my locale. Not to discredit this to those who luckily live in more stable and moderate temp environments, but for me I had to give it away after only a few attempts to put it to work for my everyday needs.

I only gave it 3 stars bc it smells soooo bad! It works great and we kept it for back up in case we ran out of other brands. It smells like plastic and it linger. And it's strong so strong I can smell it while I'm in the passenger seat and my husband (who has cologne on) is in the driver seat.Would not recommend!

It gives me a solid hold without a mess. It's firm and malleable when I take off my hat. Even with the product in my hair, I feel like it's natural. I don't feel like I need to take a shower before I go to bed. Even more expensive products from my local big box feel like I have school glue or paste in my hair.The salon's product I was using, an expensive clay, was just ok. It was extremely pricy, came in a glass tub, and broke when I was traveling. I thought of using this for travel and the glass for home, but I'm sticking with Johnny's. It's better.

I usually have my hair cut place style my hair any way they choose after I get it cut, and I noticed that they usually went with a pomade/paste. I decided to give it a go and I have been happy with this product. it holds well and if I am out working throughout the night and need to get back at it in a quick turn around, I can just add some water and its good to go again. Only thing that I noticed is that in a heavy rain it can quickly wash out and it kind of burns if it gets in your eye.

Smelled bad, but I was still willing to give it a try, so I applied it anyway. It held well and had a decent texture, but the smell was overpowering and I had a headache and became nauseated by constantly having to smell it. Needless to say, I washed it out and threw it away

My go to hair product, I won't touch anything else
