Grasa Pomade Review | Manila, Philippines

My hair with GRASA pomade

GRASA is a locally produced pomade here in Manila, Philippines. I've been using it for a week now and I can definitely say that it does it's job very, very well!

Description

GRASA is a home brewed, oil-based classic pomade made with all natural ingredients. Their motto is Quality over Quantity which tells you that they focus more on brewing high-quality pomades than mass-produced hair goop that could ruin your hair. Interesting fact is that since GRASA pomade is locally produced, the maker has adapted to the local climate of the Philippines and made the pomade less oily compared to the older or foreign pomade brands.

Their packaging is simple yet looks classy. A simple 4 ounce tin can with their logo and a photo of our national hero, Jose Rizal, on top.

Performance Test

I've been using the bubblegum scented GRASA pomade that I've procured last week, and it's interesting to note that the smell if very reminiscent to the Bazooka Joe bubblegum I grew up with. It takes a bit of effort scooping the pomade from the container on your first time but when you get used to it, it gets easier. The hold and shine provided by GRASA is top-notch, you can see from the photo of how high I was able to pomp my hair and how shiny it came out. The other thing that GRASA has over a foreign brand(LayRite) I've also used is when restyling or combing your hair again. My fiancee noticed that after combing the Layrite pomade, it left my hair looking gray and dull, unlike with GRASA, even after many times of combing and restyling, the shine and hold is still there. Amazing! Even when I don't wash the pomade off my hair before going to bed, soon as I wake up I just give it a little combing and my hairstyle is back!
