Dapr. Advanced Hair Pomade (100 grams) | Wet or Matte Look | Flexible hold | Water based | Made with Avocado oil & Aloe Vera Gel

I brought it in June 2024 and since then I love this product. It provides good hold , it does not make hair feel sticky . The hold last 6 hour or little longer . The best part is I can restyle my hair by making my hair little wet. Smell is also good .all over the product is worth to buy .you can easily apply it by taking little amount of pomade on your hand , mix Between your palms and apply it on your hair and you get your style with good shine and matt finish according to your choice.

I have been using it for the past 20 days and contrary to what most of the reviews here, this does provide adequate shine and hold. I can also restyle my hair throughout the day by simply running my hands through my hair, as claimed by Dapr. It’s got a really nice manly fragrance that’s not too over powering . However, it has had no effect on hair Loss. It’s neither increased nor decreased so I don’t think it has any hair nourishing properties. On the whole, it does seem like a better option than regular hair gel that excessively dries up my hair. It’s made my silky and straight hair manageable . So it’s a thumbs up from me.

I have been using this product for the last 6 months from their website. And recently ordered from Amazon prime which was delivered in just 11 hours. The product is an absolute gem. I have used numerous hair products but this one does a far better job at it. It creates a matt effect on your hair. If you have less hair, this one will make it look dense . You will see changes in about 45 days with less to absolutely zero hair fall. With the weather being so hot, it does not wear off with sweat. It sticks for the whole day and you will not see the hold deteriorating. Personally i hate the use of gel on my hair , since it gives that shiny and unnatural look. Plus creates dandruff effect at times .But this one with its hold and matt finish, you wont even notice it's there. The last but not the least, its smell. It's mesmerising to be honest. I say go for this pomade! You'll love it.

I was a hardcore Dapr pomade user for the last 3 years like, brand ambassador without the paycheck kind of loyal. The pomade used to be so good i loved it. It had everything i wanted, amazing fragrance, solid hold, and suited my hair perfectly. I even recommended it to friends, colleagues, probably strangers too. But over the past year? Man, it's been a downward spiral. The fragrance? Gone. The hold? Weak as hell. And worst of all it wrecked my hair. I started noticing intense hair fall, thinning, and a dry, flaky scalp. Initially, I blamed stress, diet, weathe, basically anything but the product. But the moment I switched to a different brand, boom, hair fall slowed down significantly and my scalp actually felt alive again. Something’s definitely off. Either they changed the formula, cut corners, or their manufacturing quality control has gone to sleep. Whatever it is, Dapr needs to wake up, audit their production process, and figure out what the hell went wrong. Because this ain't it, chief. The brand used to slap. Now it’s just slacking.

Absolutely brilliant. I was looking for a wax/pomade without any harmful chemicals for a very long time and finally I've found this. I've used Kraves hair wax which is 100% natural but unbelievably sticky and the smell is so bad that I've stopped using it after 2-3 times. If I have to note down few plus points of Dapr : 1) Brilliant smell. So satisfying 2) Very easy to clean. Just rinse in water and the product is gone 3) If you maintain short hair, it gives you brilliant hold and wet look. However, if you have longer hairs then this might not give the hold that you expect. My search for a proper hair styling product ends today.

Water based, non-sticky, non-itchy Not that strong hold but already mentioned in the details.

It's really nice. So smooth, fragrance is just perfect. Worth it for money

This pomade is excellent! It’s water based, so it washes out effortlessly without leaving residue. The hold is strong but natural, and styling is super easy. The only downside is that one tub doesn’t last very long if used frequently because of its texture. Overall, great quality and performance, just wish the tub lasted longer.

I like the smell and it holds the hair well. I noticed the hair getting dry sometimes (not sure of it is because of the cream), but i use a little coconut oil before applying this. Faced no issues so far and it works well.

Amazing product for hair
