OCEAN VIEW DEEP WAVES POMADE- Water-Based Hair Cream for 360 Wave Training and Wolfing- Silky Smooth Application and Styling, Strong Hold, Easy Wash- Waver and Barber Accessories - 4oz Tin Can

The Ocean View Deep Waves Pomade is the modern solution the community has been waiting for. Whether you’re just starting your ripples or you’re deep into a 10-week "wolfing" session, this pomade provides the structural hold of a wax with the clean finish of a premium cream. Here is the expert breakdown. The Formula: Water-Based Innovation The standout feature here is the Water-Based Chemistry. Unlike traditional pomades (like Murray's or Sportin' Waves) that rely on heavy petrolatum, Ocean View uses a formula that provides a "Silky Smooth" application. Easy Wash-Out: In my testing, this product rinsed out completely with a single light shampooing. This is vital for scalp health, as it prevents the "product buildup" that can lead to thinning or irritation. The Texture: It isn't sticky or tacky. It feels like a high-end styling cream that melts into the hair, allowing for even distribution—essential for preventing clumps in your wave pattern. Performance: The "Wolfing" Test "Wolfing" (the process of letting your hair grow longer to deepen the waves) requires a pomade with a serious backbone to hold down those thicker, more stubborn hairs. Hold Strength: Despite being water-based, the hold is impressively firm. Once you rag up (put on your durag), this pomade sets the hair in place without making it feel like a "helmet." The Shine: It provides a healthy, natural luster. It doesn't look "plastic" or overly greasy; it looks like well-moisturized, healthy hair. PROS Zero Breakout Formula: Because it’s water-based and doesn't clog pores, it is the best choice for wavers who struggle with skin sensitivity or acne. Scent Profile: It has a clean, "fresh-from-the-barber" scent that is masculine but subtle enough not to clash with your cologne. Silky Application: It spreads easily with just your palms, meaning you use less product per session compared to thick waxes. Premium Tin Packaging: The 4oz tin is rugged and travel-friendly. The screw-top lid ensures the product doesn't dry out over time. Barber Approved: It’s a favorite in shops because it doesn't "gunk up" clippers or shears when the client comes in for their lineup. CONS Price Point: It is more expensive than the "drugstore" wave greases. However, you are paying for ingredient quality and scalp health. Initial Dampness: Because it's water-based, it can feel slightly "wet" during application. You must rag up immediately to ensure the hair sets as it dries. Hold Duration: In extreme humidity, you might need a light touch-up compared to an oil-based pomade which is technically waterproof. Overall Input The Ocean View Deep Waves Pomade is a masterclass in modern grooming. It treats the hair and scalp with respect while delivering the high-performance hold needed for 360, 540, or 720 wave patterns. It is a rugged, sophisticated, and technically superior product that bridges the gap between old-school results and new-school health. Reviewer Pro-Tip: For the best results, apply this to slightly damp hair. After brushing your pattern, apply a dime-sized amount, rag up with a high-quality silky durag, and let it set for at least 30 minutes. The water-based formula "locks" the waves in as the moisture evaporates, giving you that crisp, deep definition! Who is this for? Serious wavers, people in the wolfing stage, those with sensitive skin, and anyone who wants "Elite" wave definition without the greasy pillowcases.

Simple Routine, Great Results I kept my hair buzzed since COVID and honestly never thought I’d get back into waves again. I haven’t had waves since 1996 🤣 This stuff has become my entire routine. I use a medium Torino Pro brush first to distribute a little oil, then I apply this pomade lightly to my scalp and hair. After that, I use a soft brush until everything feels smooth and dry. That’s literally it. No durag. I do not sleep with a durag. I don’t even use one. The biggest thing I noticed is my hair stays moisturized without feeling greasy or heavy. My scalp also feels comfortable throughout the day. The hold is clean and natural, and the shine looks healthy instead of oily. The attached picture was taken at the END of the day with no extra product added after my morning routine. The waves were still spinning. I also like that this product is simple: * shea butter * beeswax * olive oil No crazy buildup. No stiff feeling. Highly recommend if you want soft, healthy-looking waves without overcomplicating your routine.

I give this 4 stars because the hold is great, and it really makes my waves super defined when I’m wolfing. Also, it smells really good! The downside is when you put it in your hair, it leaves a white tint to your hair! I even tried mixing it with a hair oil that I use to try and cancel out the tint, but it doesn’t work. Tried using putting oil in my hair after the pomade dries…just comes back. I’ll keep trying methods to get rid of the white tint it leaves and come back here to share what works. I really want to find the solution because I like the hold this gives my hair, but we’ll see.

Works better than I expected. Can use on wet or dry hair.

Good hold, shine, softens my hair and smells really good! My go to product to really get my waves to dip🌊🏄🏾‍♂️

Product seems to be okay but misleading at the same time.. Water base does not mean all natural and there are tons of synthetics in this product so be careful if your already thinning! After noticing it wasn't all natural pomade I tried canceling but couldn't in all fairness product does get high reviews and that can't be by mistake.. The pomade has a thick JERRY CURL activator type vibe and application is smooth hopefully this works because wolfing in the summer without a durag in the daytime is horrible.

Product is very water based non greasy and not heavy. I love it. I have seborrheic dermatitis and i manage it well for now. Everyone is different but if you got a cap like mines with problems but still want to style it. I’d recommend this product.

I recently learned some pomades have petroleum which isn’t good for 360 waves. However, I learned high quality pomades that’s natural and water nased are better. Well, this is accurate. I started using this product as soon as I washed my hair from the previous petroleum pomade and oh boy! This pomade made my waves comes out to the fullest. I had waves but they were hidden until I washed my hair. Well, their not hidden now. This pomade does last for 24hrs and the directions on the bottom suggests using this on dry hair. Oil your hair first then use this pomade. I’m a beginner for 360 waves and this pomade made my waves come out and is visible. The smell is light and the pomade is lightweight.

Good scent with the desired style of your choice

Does the job very well.
