Shear Revival Northern Lights | Matte Hair Styling Paste for Men Strong Hold Molding Sculpting Pomade Wax Promotes Hair Elasticity Slick Back with Kaolin Clay, Calendula Extract, Clary Sage Oil 3.4oz

I searched all over and tried over a dozen different products to find a good paste that holds and has a dry finish. Finally found it with the Northern Lights. I’ve been using this for over a year now.

The price is fair compared to the size of the jar. It provides enough hold to "tame" hair without making it all stiff and crusty like some other products. It loses its hold throughout the day in a way that I personally prefer, since I don't like to go to bed feeling like my hair is full of product. It's not greasy at all, doesn't add any additional shine to your hair, but will not dull any natural shine you already have. Scent is pleasant.

About every other time I use the product, I find a grain in it that feels almost like a piece of sand or something that won't dissolve if I rub it into my hands, which is annoying.I like the feel, smell, texture is alright, and the hold, but the grains I find, I've basically started to put product in my hair and locate the single grain almost every time and put it off to the side, as not to put it in my hair only to have this single speck stand out against my dark hair.If they could solve for that, I'd give this 5 stars as it seems to do better on my hair than some other hair products in terms of my head/scalp sensitivity. There's some products out there that my head seems to itch more, or those other products seem more artificial, whereas this one seems to be nicer to my head and I can wear it more on a regular basis, whereas the other ones required me to take a break for a while.

I love this product, and I've been searching for a long time. I've tried paul mitchell, hanz de fuko, jack henry, and lots of other top tier brands, and none compare to Shear Revival. I have fine to medium hair, and this product offers solid hold with a natural, matte look. It will shift throughout the day, particularly since it is formulated with natural botanical ingredients, but what I love is that you can restyle it at any time and it will regain hold and style. With other products, like Paul Mitchell's clay, it is so thick and sticky that you can barely style your hair in the first place. I've also found that if I don't shower immediately the day after, I can throw a little more product in and restyle my hair without having to rinse it, which is a big plus. I'll sometimes have some morning meetings before getting a workout it, and it's nice to be able to quickly get my hair looking presentable without having to rinse, dry, restyle, etc. The classy glass jar doesn't hurt either. If you're on the fence, I'd say this product is worth giving a shot!

Packaging of the product is great. Comes in a class jar, fits nicely in the palm to be able to scoop out. Label is nice and branding is nice. It's nice to leave out on the shelf.The actual product did not impress me much. I think ordering from Amazon isn't the best idea, I think my seller had it on the shelf too long.Upon opening the jar, the smell was fantastic. Not overpowering and the scent only lasts a couple of hours in the hair after applying.Scooping it out takes a while. Maybe because I live in colder weather and my bathroom is about 65 degrees, but even after working the paste and warming it up, it's still difficult to scoop. Again, maybe it's because it's an old product.I'm able to soften it up, work it between my palms and get a waxy/paste texture.Applying to my hair isn't as smooth as most people mention. My hair is between medium and thick, and slightly wavy.While it does hold REALLY well, it gives a really oily feel. Yes, I can run my hands through my hair, but leaves my hands feeling a oily, which is strange because it's water based.This does not wash out of my hair very easily. I can feel the product when I shower. I don't like washing my hair every day, And figure some buildup is ok.This product builds up quick. If I don't wash my hair for 2 days while using this product, my hair gets really greasy and weighed down.I'm not overusing the product, like maybe a dime side scoop at most. Maybe it's the soft water where I live that's not stripping away the paste very well, maybe it's the product being a little bit older.Either way, when I do get a good soft scoop out of the jar, it still doesn't seem to impress me.

Very solid. It holds firm and doesn’t smell nasty or have any extra chemicals that are not necessary.I really wish that you guys would put the hold strength and shine online because I didn’t even realize that came on the bottle. That would be super helpful when it comes to picking out which one buy next.

I have tried quite a few different products and this is among the best. Washes out easily, provides excellent all day support, isn't sticky or messy in the hair, and holds very well.

I had high hopes, but not a fan. Provides very little hold for my thick hair, and makes my scalp itch.
