Awesome Sauce
"I first found about the Red pomade at a hair and beard salon. The beautician used it on my hair after my cut and the results were fantabulus! After the appointment I did some research and found that I could order it myself directly from Rezuel!!! I order it every month and would recommend it to anyone looking for great hold that remains soft and pliable."

Q&A
FAQs
What is Reuzel Red Pomade used for?
Reuzel Red Pomade is a water-based, high-shine pomade with medium 6/10 hold and 9/10 shine. It delivers a polished, glossy finish without the maximum-hold stiffness of Blue Pomade — ideal for flexible classic styles like loose pompadours, soft side parts, and medium-hold slick-backs that need to look sharp but stay reworkable through the day.
Red sits between Blue (strong hold + high shine) and Fiber (firm hold + low shine) in Reuzel's range. Available in 1.3 oz, 3.38 oz, and 12 oz tins. The medium hold makes it more forgiving for everyday wear than Blue.
What hair type is Reuzel Red Pomade best for?
Reuzel Red works on all hair types and is especially well-suited for fine to medium hair that needs visible polish without heavy weight. The medium 6/10 hold provides flexibility for relaxed styles, while the 9/10 shine adds a classic barbershop look. It also works well for people transitioning from oil-based pomades to water-based formulas.
For thicker hair that requires more grip with the same shine level, Reuzel Blue Pomade (9/10 hold) is the stronger option. For hair that needs heavier humidity resistance, the oil-based Pink and Green grease pomades provide stronger control.
How do you apply Reuzel Red Pomade?
Scoop one to two knuckles full of Red Pomade, emulsify between your palms, then apply to damp or towel-dried hair from roots to ends. Comb or finger-style into shape. For a wetter, glossier look, apply to wet hair. Because Red doesn't harden, you can rework your style any time during the day with a damp comb.
Water-based pomades like Red work best on slightly damp hair. Layer more product if you need extra hold, or add water to revive flexibility mid-day. Use less on fine hair to avoid weighing strands down.
Does Reuzel Red Pomade wash out easily?
Yes. Reuzel Red Pomade is water-soluble and rinses out with regular shampoo, no degreasing required. Like all of Reuzel's water-based pomades (Grey, Navy, White, Blue, Red), it removes cleanly with daily shampoo — a key advantage over oil-based grease pomades, which require a clarifying or scrub shampoo to fully break down.
For pomade users who like rotating between water-based and oil-based pomades, Red is a low-maintenance daily-driver. Daily shampooing prevents buildup, and Reuzel Scrub Shampoo can be used occasionally for deeper cleaning.
What does Reuzel Red Pomade smell like and what is it made of?
Reuzel Red Pomade has a vanilla cola scent — the same fragrance as Concrete Hold Matte (White) — that's nostalgic and distinct without being overpowering. The water-based formula provides medium hold and a high 9/10 shine. Like Blue, the high-shine finish comes from glossing agents rather than oil content, so Red looks slick without feeling greasy. The formulation pairs the look of an old-school grease with modern water-based washability.
Fatty acids in the castor oil penetrate the hair strand, nourishing and strengthening it and caprylyl glycol helps soften and smooth hair, enhancing shine and texture.
Is Red Water Soluble High Shine Pomade vegan?
Yes. Reuzel Red Pomade is vegan. It uses a water-soluble base with Castor Oil and Caprylyl Glycol rather than beeswax, making it suitable for vegan grooming routines.
