User questions & answers

Question:	What are the ingredients? I’m looking to replace fx molding wax that contains beeswax
Answer:	Contains beeswax
Question:	does this leave a buildup or residue on your hair
Answer:	I don't find it to leave any significant buildup. You can tell my feelin that it's there, but it's not too stiff and washes out easily.
Question:	Can this product replace dry shampoo or would I have to use a dry shampoo with it to absorb some of the greasiness I get with 2nd or 3rd day hair
Answer:	Use Dry shampoo
Question:	What's the difference between the wax and the paste
Answer:	Wax is the predominant ingredient vs petrolatum in the paste. Petrolatum is a mineral oil which gives a less defined texture, it tends to break down through the day. If you have fine hair, paste will get very oily as it breaks down. Because of its chemical/fossil fuel background a lot of people prefer the more eco wax. I prefer the messier texture from wax, it’s really easy to restyle at the end of the day. Both are water insoluble though, so a deep cleansing shampoo about once a week is recommended.

Smooth Viking About Us:

Ah, the dreaded 'About Us' section... that neglected corner of every website that most people don’t read, right? Hmm. So hypothetically speaking, we could say something completely ridiculous here, and no one would have a clue – like how our founder is a real 10th century Viking that was cryogenically frozen until 2014 to start Smooth Viking.

That would be pretty cool, but it would probably be better if we kept it real. So, here’s the real story. The one thing we didn’t exaggerate about is that Smooth Viking started in 2014. Back then, we didn’t think that the beard care products on the market were really cutting it. We thought beards deserved more than a bunch of useless ingredients that don’t work, so we created Smooth Viking to give our fellow bearded brothers a better alternative. But, we didn't just stop there. We eventually expanded our horizons to cover hair care territory, too.

PRODUCTS FOR THE MODERN-DAY VIKING

It’s no longer socially acceptable to wear Viking helmets anymore (which is downright absurd to us), but we still want to bring back that Viking spirit with our collection of premium beard and hair care products for the modern man. That’s where you come in.

Just like the Vikings of old, you’re the guy that works hard and plays hard, but you also want to look your best while doing so. After all, you’re not just some random face in the crowd. You’re practically a living legend that’s cementing your place in human history as we speak. Thus, you want products that’ll help you look the part, minus the wimpy ingredients.

If that sounds like you, good. You came to the right place. Our collection of premium beard and hair care products will give you exactly what you need to turn your look into the stuff of legend.

OUR PRODUCTS ARE MADE WITH PREMIUM INGREDIENTS

Yeah, we know. You've probably heard it a million times....except we actually mean it. We are not in the business of setting up hair to fail, so we've formulated all of our products with high-quality stuff that gets the job done.

DON'T JUST LEAVE YOUR HAIR HIGH AND DRY, BRUH.

Maintaining killer hair isn't easy. It takes work... but we don't like work. Our collection of hair care products makes it ridiculously easy for any guy to keep their hair looking its best.

Styling Clay

User questions & answers

Question:	Which of these would be good for a preschool boy that wants his hair to comb over and stay parted
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Would this product hold back fly-aways when I pull my long hair up into a ponytail
Answer:	Thanks For Asking this reel comes without the pool cover Sincerely Customer Service
Question:	Is this wax or pomade? It has both in the name! I'm confused
Answer:	This model appears to use velcro (?) or a hook on the strap that hooks the tube. I don't own this product, but the product images appear to confirm my guess. Other models use a slot and prevent the strap from falling out. They show this method as inconvenient, but not really sure. They also compare tires as if it matters. Not like you are taking this thing off road.
Question:	Is this product vegan
Answer:	never tried...shipping it back would be too prohibitive. They last no more than 2 years if you keep you pool covered most of the year, rarely more than that, regardless of the warrantee.

User questions & answers

Question:	i have some shorter hairs that just won't stay down.strong enough? trying to go for the slicked back/side part style incase anyone has that hairstyle
Answer:	Not sure how short is short, but I decided to slick my hair back (after having a shorter haircut for the longest time) and as I began to grow my hair in, this product kept my hair down.
Question:	I just read in a details magazine article that this is "great for sensitive hair and skin, fragrance free". True or false
Answer:	I had an adverse allergic reaction when using this (swollen ears, flushing, dry skin etc...) so that statement is definitely false. The list of ingredients has many things that aren't in other hair waxes, including synthetic beeswax, so if you have sensitive hair/skin, I'd look elsewhere to be safe.
Question:	Is it water soluble ? When i think at wax i think at grease, grease is not water soluble
Answer:	No, it's very water soluble! Not greasy at all! I can go in the pool, get our and re style when it dries without applying anymore!
Question:	How does this product work on long wavy hair
Answer:	It's God awful terrible on long and wavy hair. Don't use it. Seriously.

Creative Tips

You can use Matte Separation Wax on dry hair as a finishing product, but also on wet or damp hair for a more natural/wet look.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it make hair look greasy
Answer:	I don't think so, nor does my wife who would have told me if it did. It also doesn't make it look wet like gels do.

The other product I like is American Crew pomade. If you have used pomade and you like pomade then you will love this product.
Question:	How does this compare to the re-works product
Answer:	I can’t help you there, as i’ve Never used the reworks product. However, I have used Wax Works for many years and really like it.
Question:	is wax works good for dreading hair
Answer:	Dry Wax would be a better option for dreads.

Our History

Forty years ago, two friends were inspired to start a company that would support the success of hairdressers and provide luxury hair care. John Paul DeJoria and Paul Mitchell (right) launched a revolutionary hair care system featuring three products. This is our story.

• USE IT AS A PRE OR POST STYLER: the Meraki matte hair wax offers fantastic versatility, with the option for you to use it as a pre-styler for more volume, and a post-styler for more all-day hold
• PROTECT YOUR HAIR FROM HEAT DAMAGE: Meraki hair wax not only offers the creative freedom to let you experiment with different looks, it also contains ingredients that protect your hair from the intense heat of blow dryers, flat irons and other styling devices
• NATURAL, MATTE-LOOKING FINISH: this hair wax for men offers a non-greasy and matte finish that feels like there’s nothing in your hair at all; make that stiff, heavy feeling you get with other hair wax history
• PARABEN, SULPHATE-FREE and MADE IN THE USA: use this 2.5 oz hair wax with absolute peace of mind as it’s created from natural ingredients like beeswax and plant wax with no harmful substances such as parabens and sulphates
• HOW TO USE: this hair wax for men works well with various hair types, lengths and textures; it can be used before (pre-styler) and after (post-styler) blow-drying; to use it as a pre-styler, apply to damp hair and blow dry before applying a finishing layer to style and shape hair in the desired direction

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it only for men
Answer:	No, anyone can use pomades.
Question:	can this product be used on it’s own
Answer:	I wouldn’t recommend this as the main product. It’s best as a pre-styler especially if you have thick, coarse hair. I have thick hair but the strands are fine and this stuff makes it too floppy. I just use mousse as my pre-styler, blow dry, and finish off with cavalier clay.
Question:	Is this product oily and greasy
Answer:	Not at all. It has a somewhat sticky, pasty consistency - much like other styling pomades. But not greasy at all.
Question:	Can this product be used on its own
Answer:	Yes it can be used on it's own but if you want more of textured look it's best to mix it with Cavalier or Monarch. Use Original as a pre styler and Monarch or Cavalier, depending on your hair type, as a a post styler.

• Supreme hold: Our Claymation styling clay is made with an incredible “Clay-Wax” hybrid made with a touch of Quicksand. This high caliber styling product will always work with you, never against you

Question:	Is this real or fake like the blumaan products they sell on amazon
Answer:	I’m not sure if this product is fake, but product I received wasn’t labeled as 2 fl. oz. it said 1.8, so because of that I think it’s either not a real one or it must be an old one. So I returned my product.
Question:	How many do you get for $49.99? they're only $19 on the hanz de fuko website
Answer:	I bought one from Hanz de Fuko website along w/ 2 samples for $5. Amazon is great but these middle men take too much margin sometimes!
Question:	What's the best holding pomade/wax/other hair product? I've narrowed it down to a couple, including this, but am still torn
Answer:	I have really thick hair. To paint a picture, I have A LOT of individual thick hair whereas many people with thick hair have a lot of individual thin hair. Hopefully that makes sense. Before, I needed super-hold gel and hair spray to tame my hair. Hanz de Fuko is amazing. It tames my hair while giving that matte, controlled look. My hair fell forward with other pomades and waxes. Even the super hold ones. I highly, highly recommend this.
Question:	Was this really 3.5 ounces when it showed up
Answer:	It’s 2 ounces, the real product off the official site is 3.5. This is counterfeit. There are no approved sellers on Amazon.
