Lodestar Grooming

Scent is beachy but not overly offensive or too strong. It is slightly hydrating but still gives me a matte or neutral shine. Gives solid medium to medium-firm hold depending on the amount. It held volume, gave some texture, and managed Texas summer heat/humidity well. I could see this being for a more clean/slick look vs textured hair styles but it could still achieve these looks.

Gives my fine hair great volume with a manageable hold to set up for post styling. Could be used as a standalone or coupled. Gives me good texture and a healthy matte finish.

Incredible for fine hair while being versatile for various hair lengths. Never felt too dry for me. Made my hair look so thick with nice chunky texture. Did not lead to stringy hair texture. Solid medium hold without weighing my hair down. Healthy matte finish. Amazing Harmony scent that leads to compliments.

Wonderful for fine hair. It lended to a natural shine without making my fine hair stringy or weighed down. The Cerulean scent was so weak in the sample jar I could not really smell it but would love for her to re-release it in the Afternoon Swim scent. It lended to a light-medium hold with good texture. Easy to use as a standalone product or combo with a higher holding product. I was really expecting a crazy heavy waxy product that was hard to work with but that’s not what this is. I plan on getting a full jar but was waiting to see if by chance she did another small batch Sunday drop in a different scent, although the Cerulean seemed inoffensive and weaker.

One of my favorite scents that always gets me compliments. Loved seeing it for Everglade. The product itself is very versatile. It is slightly hydrating but not too overbearing for fine hair. I can use it for pre-styling or post styling to give a healthy matte/natural shine with plenty of texture. The hold is on the lighter side of medium but it’s easier to pair with higher holding products if need be or standalone for natural movement.

Incredible smell which I did not find too strong. It is light in the hair, produces a solid medium hold and matte finish. Great for fine hair. Plenty of texture which is more how I use it, but I am sure it could also work for side parts, pomps, or other volume hairstyles.

I love this stuff. Smells great, holds great, doesn't feel too drying.

Terracotta has the right amount of hold that I personally enjoy. If you're not too crazy about shine and want a natural look, this is the perfect product to purchase.

Great prestyler. Has the right amount of hold that I enjoy. Scent is fresh. A little goes a long way.

Like the strong hold while not feeling super heavy in my hair

Really like this product. Works just as described.

Excellent holding matte paste that is truly matte. Medium-firm hold while still leaving my hair touchable and yet able to be restyled throughout the day. This will become one of my daily use products.

great stuff

Being fairly new to hair products outside of hair gel and hair glue, I came across several suggestions for Lodestar Matte cream. I have thinning hair up top and I keep my hair mostly short on the sides. The cream is pretty thick and I feel like applying to my freshly wet hair from the shower I still need to apply a little water to the top to work this in my hair how I want it. Works great. I can style by hand or with a comb. I prefer the comb when my hair gets long. The hold works well and lasts all day even through the gym. I can add a little water to my hand and touch up as needed. Washes out for the most part with water however I may be using too much product and feel like I really need shampoo to get it out but I only wash out product every few days. I picked up cream from a peer and I liked the results I bought directly from Lodestar. Still deciding between this and Rio. But so far I like Tsunami

I am fairly new to hair pomades and creams etc etc. I tried the Tsunami and that was a little too strong and I wanted to try this texture cream to exactly how it was. Smells great, much easier to apply. The hold is perfect however it does fade after 9 hours which for me is fine. Able to re style my hair and the hair is still fairly manageable. I can wash it out with water easily.
