Product Overview
DAX High & Tight: Awesome Hold is a firm / heavy pomade / hairdress offering strong hold with a controlled finish. The “High & Tight” line is built for styles requiring more control and structure. The 3.5 oz jar is a standard size in the DAX portfolio.
This formula is oil‑based and enriched with natural oils (such as coconut oil and jojoba oil) plus lanolin, which help with conditioning and moisture retention while delivering strong hold.
It is intended for short to medium hair lengths, especially when you want a hairstyle to stay firm and defined throughout the day.
Key Features & Benefits
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Strong / “Awesome” hold | Keeps hair securely in place—even in more demanding styles or for hair that resists styling. |
| Creamy / waxy texture | Allows workable application before it sets; easier to spread than very stiff waxes. |
| Enriched with natural oils (coconut, jojoba) & lanolin | Adds conditioning, moisture retention, helps reduce dryness or brittleness with repeated use. |
| Low to moderate shine finish | Provides structure without a glossy or greasy look. |
| Restylable | You can rework sections if needed (before full setting) to adjust your style. |
| Protective qualities | According to DAX’s own site, the formula helps protect hair from sun rays, chlorine, salt water (helpful when outdoors or in pool/sea) |

Why Choose This Product?
- High hold for demanding styles — If your hair tends to resist styling or if you need sharper, more rigid structure, this gives you more “grip” than lighter creams.
- Conditioning support — The inclusion of coconut oil, jojoba, and lanolin helps offset dryness from daily use, which is a plus for frequent stylers.
- Good for short to medium hair — Works especially well on shorter lengths where you want definition and control.
- Restyling flexibility (to some degree) — Before full set, you can tweak or reshape without adding a lot of extra product.
- Protective features — Helps shield hair from environmental stress (sun, chlorine, salt) mentioned by DAX’s regional site.
- Balance of performance & value — Many users regard it as a solid performer compared with other firm pomades. (One commenter: “I generally went for Awesome Hold over Awesome Shine… great for the money!”)
Caveats to be aware of:
- Being oil / petrolatum based, it’s harder to wash out compared to water-based or lighter formulations.
- In very humid climates, the oil content may feel heavier or more greasy on some hair types.
- Overuse can weigh hair down or flatten volume.
- If your hair is extremely fine or very thin, a heavy pomade might be too much.
How To Use
- Start with clean hair
- Shampoo and rinse thoroughly. Towel-dry so hair is slightly damp or nearly dry.
- Scoop a small amount
- Start with a pea- to dime-sized amount (adjust depending on length / thickness).
- Warm / emulsify
- Rub between palms / fingertips until product softens and becomes more pliable.
- Apply to hair
- Work from roots to tips; distribute evenly.
- For more control, you can apply in sections.
- Style / shape
- Use fingers or a comb to sculpt the shape you want (spikes, slick back, piece separation).
- You can lift roots if you want volume or directioning.
- Touch up (if needed)
- Before the product fully sets, you can rework small areas or restyle segments.
- Removal / washing
- Use a wax‑removing or clarifying shampoo to fully remove buildup (oil + petrolatum base resists simple washes).
- You may need a double shampoo or warm water to fully clear.
