Shear Revival Gray Ghost Cream Pomade - Strong Hold, Natural Finish, Vegan

Second product I’ve bought from shear revival so I will compare it with their Northern Lights (which I liked too). This is a great pomade with solid hold and great scent. I will say the hold on northern lights is actually stronger than gray ghost, but this feels a lot more creamy than the clay like Northern lights. If you have shorter hair and want a more firm hold, go northern lights. Gray ghost is great for mid-length hair and is easy to restyle. Clean ingredients and washes out easily. Would compare this similar to the layrite matte pomade. Scent reminds me of a yoga studio (think palo santo and lavender). Highly recommend.

Excellent product. Low shine and strong hold, but not too strong. Your hair will stay in place without feeling stiff as board. No issues washing product out. Would say mild to almost no scent. Only need to apply a little. Switch off between this and shear revival crystal lake. Used to use American crew forming cream, but not a fan anymore given the inconsistency.

It's not too bad. Recommended from my cousin. I like how it works on dry hair, but after 1-2 hours, my hair fell. It may be because my hair is thin. If you have thin hair, and you're trying to add more volume to your look, you need to blow dry it first and then do it little by little. The style is matte with no water. Easy to wash out.

I love Shear Revival hair products and have been using their Northern Lights cream/paste for years! This pomade is fantastic and doesn’t give a greasy look, but a strong hold.

After extensive research, one name kept rising to the top: Shear Revival. I've been on the hunt for a solid alternative to the pricey Oribe Rough Luxury Soft Paste, and I decided to give this one a shot. I'm happy to say it exceeded my expectations! This wax paste has a pleasantly thick texture when first scooped but emulsifies effortlessly in your palms for smooth application. I’ve tried it on both towel-dried and blow-dried hair, and it consistently delivers impressive results. It offers excellent hold with a natural-looking sheen that isn’t too shiny or matte. The fragrance, while subtle and woody, wasn’t a standout for me—it leans more toward blending into the background rather than making a statement. That said, it doesn’t linger too strongly, so it won’t interfere with other scents you wear. At nearly half the price of my usual go-to paste, this is a clear winner. Shear Revival has officially earned a spot in my hair care lineup!

I thought sebastian molding mud was being discontinued (maybe it is but I've since found more online) so I decided to try this product after reading reviews. No no no no no. Sebastian molding mud has been my go to for at least 30+ years cuz it smells great, has a fantastic hold WITHOUT being crunchy or sticky. This stuff is so sticky and crunchy that I thought by adding more water to it several hours after applying would alleviate the grossness feeling in my hair. Then I sprayed down my entire head with water thinking that would do the trick and it still had a sticky gross residue to it. I had to shampoo my hair again after less than 12 hours to remove it all. Maybe some people like that feeling of stiff/sticky hair but I guarantee you your significant other will NOT. Enjoy looking good but being single

I have thick, coarse, and stubborn hair. I've experimented with various pomades, always running into the same issues: too gel-like, leaving me with helmet hair, or too waxy, making it a nightmare to wash out. Living in a hot, humid climate for half the year only made it tougher to find a product that held up. Then I found Gray Ghost. This blend of water-based and oil-based pomades is a game changer. While it's not as strong as gel, it provides impressive volume and hold, keeping my hair in place throughout the day and allowing me to easily comb it back. It washes out with shampoo and conditioner, but even a water rinse leaves a manageable build-up for effortless styling the next day (and beyond). Even better: it acts like a conditioner, leaving my hair feeling great. It's a strong hold without feeling either greasy or crunchy. Gray Ghost definitely took some getting used-to, but after a few days of experimenting, this has shot up to the top of my list of pomades.

After trying countless pomades and clays, from the likes of O'Douds, Layrite, Suavecito, and others, I came to the conclusion that nothing would work for my flat, fine hair. Enter Shear Revival Gray Ghost. Immediately I could tell it was different from the products I'd used in the past. It's a true cream pomade. Yes it's sticky, and the hold is firm but not heavy. Shine is about a low-medium, not matte. I don't like matte products, they just make my hair look dull, so this was perfect. This won't withstand strong gusts of wind, but then again almost nothing does, short of mohawk glue and lots of hairspray. My only complaint is that it quickly dries on hands and hair, so you've got to be quick, or add a little water to buy some time. It washes off easily and leaves no residue, unlike MP Pomade by O'Douds (yuck). Not sure if I would repurchase, since I like to try different products. But it's a keeper for sure!

99% natural material, smells good, strong hold.

What it says in the description is really true, been using this product in a month now and I loved it!

Perfekt! Lange gesucht und endlich ein Stylingprodukt für meine Haare gefunden.

J'ai essayé divers produits depuis que j'ai me laisser pousser les cheveux - argiles, pommades et pâtes - et c'est le premier produit dont je suis entièrement satisfait. Annoncée comme une pommade crème légère, elle est plus épaisse que je ne l'imaginais dans le bocal et plutôt adhérente quand elle est appliquée, mais elle est facile à coiffer. Elle tient très bien toute la journée et peut être restylée. Je trouve l'odeur agréable mais assez puissante à l'ouverture du bocal, mais lorsqu'on l'applique, elle s'atténue considérablement pour devenir beaucoup plus subtile. Et, en plus, les cheveux ont l'air naturels - un faible lustre, plutôt que complètement mat. Elle fait tout ce dont j'ai besoin, et elle le fait très bien.

Shear Revivals Gray Ghost has left me very impressed. I was excited to try a product that promised a strong hold without weighing down my hair. The reviews were fantastic on Reddit. The cream was easy to apply, with a smooth consistency that made it simple to style my hair into the messy, textured look that I was going for. And once I had it in place, it stayed put all day, even in windy conditions. I don’t have to worry about my hair losing its shape or looking messy by mid-day, which is a big plus for me. It doesn’t leave a greasy or sticky residue behind. My hair feels soft and natural, with none of the buildup or residue that can sometimes be left by other styling products. I like to switch up their hairstyle often, I appreciated that the product was versatile enough to work well for a range of different looks. Overall very impressed with it and will be sticking with it.
