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.

Growing up, the default brand for waves was Murray's & Lester's. I hated the smell and the chemicals that were used. Most of my adult life I've had grown my hair out to avoid the du rag, 24/7 brushing, Wb just dedication it required to train waves. As a person who likes to spend little time getting ready, I was so happy to find this pomade/ gel. I was skeptical of the reviews but this is truly a great product. I see the wave formation instantly when I apply it on my hand and it doesn't feel heavy or greasy. Something you want to avoid in the summer. Also haven't had any issues with it sweating out even when recently in Mexico. I like the smell a lot and it comes out very easy in the shower. Great price and overall very easy to travel with in the compact container.

Works nice but states it smells like lily. Has a masculine smell to it and it’s blue ish very thick will definitely lay your hair down

Great hold and smells good.

Great! Purchased for my son hair.

Great product but turns hair white once dry.

The travel-sized hair wax I tried is perfect for defining my waves without weighing them down. The compact packaging makes it super convenient for on-the-go use, and the wax itself has a smooth texture that spreads easily through my hair. It provides a strong yet flexible hold, keeping my waves in place throughout the day without feeling stiff or greasy. The finish is matte, which is ideal for a natural look, and it doesn’t leave any residue. I also appreciate how easily it washes out, unlike some other styling products. Overall, it’s an excellent product for shaping and maintaining waves, offering great value for its price.

Best wave grease I have ever used! It worth the price!

Good
