Not sticky

Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2024

I bought this for my baby who is blessed with a lot of hair but we aren’t quite ready to do a haircut yet! This smells good, no unsafe ingredients for him, and doesn’t cause sticky residue like some other options we tried. Highly recommend!

Just ok

The texture of this cream is nice and thick and rinses off of hands easily. The smell is ok. Nice and light. I do wish it held styles a bit better but it is a light hold product.

Great pal-made for kids!

This hair balm works great for kids! First off, it’s packaged nicely and has a good quantity. There is a nice light scent and it has a well mixed texture. I would like to emphasize this is a balm/palmade which if you have ever tried a palmade it’s not comparable to hair gel. A lot of people I’ve noticed who use this expect a palmade to last all day which is not the case for ANY brand. You will want to find a different product in general such as a gel if that’s your goal. This balm is easy to apply to hair, does not leave any residue and has a nice soft smooth finish that is durable for majority of the day. My son has very thick hair and a very bad cowlick in the front of his hair, this palmade is easy to apply and easily tames his hair. Outside of adult palmade and gels, this is the first kids balm we have tried and I will certainly be buying more of this in the future.

I'm definitely loving the grape smell

My sons at an awkward stage of having long hair and getting it cut. He's 2 and has only had a trim. We love his long locks but his hair is constantly getting into his eyes and tickling his ears. I did some research on some hair products and ended up selecting this one because of the fact that it's safe for children of all ages and plant based thats hypoallergenic and doesn't have parabens, phthalates, petrochemicals or sulfates. That part was important to me since he was going to be wearing it in his hair all day.

Upon using it, I noticed how tiny the product is, I uploaded an image for comparison with my Yeti cup. It's 2 oz. which breaks down to a little more than $6 per once. The instructions say to use a small amount on the palm of your hand and apply to either wet or dry hair. I think it probably would work better with wet hair.

My son has long thick hair, it is definitely a light hold. I had to really run my hand and fingers through his hair for some structure. Before going out today I probably will apply a little more. I think next purchase will be on something with medium hold just because of the pricing and how much I will have to use of the lighthold in order to fully work on his hair and hold it back. But, with that being said, if you are looking for a light hold cream, this is definitely a good option for you. AND it smells amazing (think Grape)!

This product works great in my son’s and daughter’s hair. Great for keeping fly aways tamed for updo hair styles. Gives my son’s hair nice texture but not overly stiff. Product has a nice smell. A little goes a long way!

Helpful to protect hair

My baby was born with a gorgeous coif. Now at (nearly) 6 months he is starting to lose some in the back from sleeping, and the hair that’s still there is really brittle and knots easily. I bought this pommade hoping it might provide some protection for his hair in the back, and I’m so glad to say it’s working really well!

There’s definitely a learning curve in regards to using the right amount, but baby’s hair is looking better and has less tangles after a few nights of use. We apply to damp hair with our hands and comb through. The next morning, his hair generally has a better shape (less messy) throughout the day.

For styling purposes, this is definitely not a strong hold. It gives the hair some texture, loosely maintains the shape I brushed it into (especially if we let it dry before putting him down), and it definitely keeps baby’s hair out of his eyes better than if I didn’t use anything. Since I am primarily using it as a protectant, that’s fine with me. If we needed to look extra nice for some reason, I’d probably use something with a better hold.

Bonus: smells nice!

Pretty good

I like that this is light and doesn’t leave my son’s hair crunchy. It’s far gone by the end of the day. That being said, it doesn’t hold super long either. If you need it to stay more than a couple hours I’d use something else.
