What owners say

What people report

Recurring themes our researchers wrote in their own words from sourced reviews. We do not store or scrape star ratings, and we never balance one product’s themes against another’s by inventing them.

Ulta's most-helpful critical written review.

Some recent users say the formula now feels weaker in hold and that the tin contains less product than before.

Ulta written review submitted eight months ago that identifies a perceived formula change.

Liquid Death Severed Head Pomade

REUZEL x Liquid Death buyers with varied hair lengths and textures

The clay rinses out cleanly with water and doesn't cause pulling or tugging in the shower, which reviewers contrast with REUZEL's oil-based Grease pomades.

REUZEL x Liquid Death buyers, several comparing it to other REUZEL pomades they own

Several reviewers praise the scent (apple, woody-floral notes) though a few needed a couple of uses before warming up to it.

REUZEL x Liquid Death buyers

A small scoop applies smoothly and rubs in easily between the palms, so little product is needed to style the whole head.

How this page was made

  • This page is assembled from the same researched records the individual product pages render: identity, each ingredient list as printed, each brand's own claims, dated price observations, and review themes written in our researchers' own words. Nothing on it is written per comparison.
  • We do not rank these against each other. Which of them suits you depends on your hair, and that is what the consultation works out.
  • The formula similarity percentage is a stored, precomputed number: position-weighted overlap of the two ingredient lists blended with agreement on the attributes we derive. It measures how alike two formulas are, not how well either works.
  • The value band is a fixed label over two stored numbers: this product’s cost per ounce as a percentile of every product of this type we have priced, each at the size it is most often sold in, and how many products we score as doing the same job cost at least a quarter less per ounce.
  • The "Is this right for you?" panel reads only your own consultation answers, and it applies exactly the filters our recommendation engine applies. It is computed when you load the page and is never stored on it.
  • 7 sources were consulted across the products on this page.
  • Ingredient order tells you relative amount only above roughly 1%. Prices are observations on the dates shown and change without notice. We do not sell these products and take no placement fees.
  • This is cosmetic information, not medical advice, and nothing here diagnoses or treats a health condition.
