I got the gray ghost since I really liked crystal lake. Gray ghost is impossible to remove from the can! It's difficult to spread too so it becomes chunks and can't quite use it. I feel the hold is okay, but can't tell because this thing won't come out of the can!!!

This is, HANDS DOWN, the BEST styling product out there!!
I have tried many wonderful products from many wonderful home-brew companies.
I tried many high en brands also.
I love their Northern lights matte paste. I still do love that paste. ESPECIALLY as a pre-styler! It works beautifully blow-dried in.
But, this Gray Ghost is, literally, a smoother version of Northern Lights Matte Paste, with a hold that's on steroids haha
A little goes à long way!
Application is smooth, with a slight tackiness, which helps manœuvre the hair any which way you want to. But it's still a very comfortable application ( I apply to dry hair ). It has a slight healthy sheen that almost immediately transforms into a beautiful, healthy, natural matte finish. You can apply to damp hair, let it air dry, and you'll get a low natural shine.
You can also use a tiny bit into damp hair and blow-dry it in for a beautiful, voluminous, high holding, natural finish style.
It's like the "MacGyver" of hair pomades..it does it ALL!
Super versatile, super easy to use, and the control is simply, EPIC!
it's a STRONG hold hut still feels very light weight in the hair. You can create any look you want with this, slicked back.. All the way to well groomed, to MESSY textured (the way I like it).
The scent is very subtle, like a orange blossom - lemon - herbal scent.. Very subtle and wonderful scent, which almost instantly disappears after application. I love it as I get headaches from products with overly strong scents.. But this one is so subtle, it's perfect!
It washes out super easily!
The combo I love is using a tiny bit of Northern Lights paste as a pre-styler and then going in with just a small pea size amount of the Gray Ghost as a post styler.
And it's a perfect combination! But even without pre-stylers in, just using this on its own as a post styler, you'll get incredible results and control!
No hairspray needed for me when using this product. Unless the wind is blowing like a tornado, then maybe I'll use it a couple spritz of hair spray but other than that, this alone has the strength to do it all.

Truly an EPIC product!!

Asian male here with type 1b or 1c hair, medium to long length. Works great for me, smells like orange cream soda.

This is probably one of the smoothest cream pomade I've had the pleasure of trying. Dries up really nice and holds my hair all day. The scent is nice too, but doesn't last too long, which I like because I'm always wearing cologne.

The pomade is very easy to apply and the smell is nice. Friend commented that the smell reminds them of lemon soda. I'll definitely be getting more in the future.
