Introduction

In 2013, Steve and Nicole, husband and wife from Michigan given birth to Lockhart’s Authentic. The heart and soul of this brand is to create great grooming products and to defy some of the common wrong perception on hair pomades. They wanted a good heavy hold pomade that don’t rip your hair out during application, and yet giving a good shine. Together, they continue to innovate and creating more effective grooming products. In this review, we will look one of their first products – the Lockhart Heavy Hold Pomade. No kidding, we thought most products made in the west won’t really work here in this humid Singapore, but during our deep dive review, we were wrong. This is our confession.

 

 

Brand

Lockhart Authentic

Origin

Michigan, United States

Type

Oil Based Pomade

Design

Packaged in a slick black tin, this is your standard 113g pomade house.

 

 

Scent

Coco Vanilla. Slight hint of mint. Refreshing.

Texture & Application

For most heavy hold products, it’s quite hard to be scooped out. But this is surprisingly easy. Initially there’s this hard layer you have to get through. After that, it’s so easy. It is soft, slightly creamy with some firm texture. Rubbing on the hand was also pretty at ease before application.

I would say this is much easier compared to another heavy hold product by Kevin Murphy Rough Ride.

During application, styling with your hand or comb was a swift. Though it is heavy hold, it gives a very good control and smooth texture to the hair. It doesn’t harden or lump your hair together. It fact, it looks pretty slick. Have this styled on dry hair for the best effect.

 

 

Shine

Low Shine

Strength & Endurance

• Strong Hold
• Suitable for all kinds activities, recommended especially those of you who mostly perspire or under hot sun, this product really holds perfectly
• Restyling wasn’t really needed as the hold lasted almost the whole day

Washability

As expected, oil based usually requires 1 – 2 cycles of shampoo and conditioner for complete removal. But hey, don’t wash it all off at once. Have some residue on and you will have some good pre-styled hair the next day ;)
