Texture and Consistency
Pros:
"Suavecito is a high quality, easy-to-work-with, and completely water soluble pomade."
"It really is matte (but in a healthy way, not a fake way)."
"Strong hold, doesn't form shell like other high hold products, leaves hair looking truly matte (if applied to dry hair), non greasy, easy to spread through hair compared to clays."
"This pomade is more of a cream pomade. If you're used to the original suavecito this one feels like you're putting lotion on your hair."
"It styles the hair well and doesnt feel heavy or greasy which is what matters."
"It's easy to work in, style and restyle throughout the day."
"This one gives you a dry, matte look and is manageable with only your fingers throughout the day."
Cons:
"I received a defective product. My pomade came very dry at the top."
"The vendor, Amazon, sent old product that was extremely dry to the point I had to throw both containers out."
"This pomade doesn't dry and 'grip' like the old matte version. Hair is left shiny and flat."
"The matte effect goes away easily and becomes shiny with water added thus defeating the purpose of the product."
"This one is 'fiber-ish'. Does not apply smooth or evenly, had to use a little water to smooth it out before application."
"It arrived and is virtually SOLID in consistency and I had a really hard time getting it to spread through my hair."
"This stuff is lighter bodied than the Bedhead pomade, which is the only other one I know."
Scent
Pros:
"Has a great smell."
"Its a pleasant smell more on the masculine side best I can describe is like a sandalwood scent."
"After using I won’t go back to paste. I use Suavecito shine free everyday now and smells great too."
"The hair product smells so good. It's the original smell."
"Smells fantastic and scent last all day."
"Smells great, holds his thick blonde hair, and easy to apply!"
"It smells INCREDIBLE."
Cons:
"The worst part has to be the smell."
"Absolutely horrible smell. Wife asked me if I had started using Ax body spray."
"I wish the scent was better (smells like cheap cologne)."
"The scent is not bad but it could be a little lighter."
"I didn't like the scent, smells like body odor."
"Scent is also not as pleasant as the regular orange suavecito."
"Also, I was not a fan of the smell because it smelled kind of unnatural."
Hold and Performance
Pros:
"Holds my hair without looking like I put glue or oil in it."
"I get all day hold for my hair without it looking shiny and wet or weighted down."
"So much better than the firme hold. More of an easy to spread cream with a great balance of hold and natural look."
"Great product, lasts all day, makes hair look nice as well."
"I use this every day. I have very thick, short hair and suavecito does a great job taming it."
"This product holds all day. My husband works in a kitchen for 8 hours a day, and it maintains the hold through the heat and sweat."
"Holds very well and gives you a more natural look."
Cons:
"It didn't hold well. At times even when I put a lot in my hair, within a few hours my hair will sometimes still look like a mess."
"Even if I style it without any water the hold is minimal at best, it'll only hold my hair for minutes if even that."
"I want to love this product but it just doesn’t hold."
"Feels more like a light hold gel than a pomade, I used it about 2 times and it gave my hair zero hold even after blow drying it."
"This product worked for a while, but with average daily activities 3-4 hours later I get fly aways."
"Very weak hold that fell completely flat within an hour."
"It holds more like a hard gel. Also this stuff does not hold well while your working or being active and it does not reshape well."
Application and Washability
Pros:
"Easily refreshes with water, though I've never needed to, but also easily washes out."
"Sauvecito completely washes out with just water (no shampoo required)."
"Washes out with water and doesn’t pull my hair out haha."
"Washes out with water and doesn’t leave my hair feeling dirty."
"It is a water-based pomade that is easy to apply and wash out."
"It's easy to wash off with just water."
"I love the non-shiny look of this pomade, and how easily it washes out."
Cons:
"It has alcohol in it, and though I'm not sure if that is the cause, it does dry out my hair."
"Which happens to have Phenoxyethenol - which I'm allergic to. Can no longer use this product."
"even when using small amount and really rubbing it into palms, it leaves a white residue on hair."
"The product leaves a white residue in your hair, would prefer a clear solution."
"Love suavacito products but this matte version is awful. Zero hold, hard to disperse through the hair so leaves white chunks."
"It makes your hair feel really hard and extremely dry, combing your fingers through your hair feels disgusting."
"It is water based but it is very hard on hair. Hair is hard to brush or comb once it sets on hair."
