S Curl 360


One of the new school classics here, this will give you waves if you got 'em, if not it still works as a good pomade.  I usually use beeswax or something strong, thick and heavy but that kind of product melts quick in the summer heat and will have the bees and bugs chasing after you..  Last summer I used this every day as an alternative.  The 360 is unlike any kind of product I've used, it's chemical makeup and consistency is just different but good.  First off this shit is crazy popular, you can get it anywhere from the grocery store and target to family dollar, pharmacies, beauty supply stores, mom and pop variety shops in the hood and the big liquor stores that carry everything from pizza and beer to cereal and socks.  So getting it is no problem and the price is right.. used to ring in at 2$ just about everywhere but it seems this year they lifted the price to around 2.50 which is still cheap so grab some.


Popping the top it looks like solidified lotion for your hair, smells super clean and light like a lotion or soap might smell.  Like I said I've never seen anything that looks like this except maybe Brylcreem but still that's in a different category altogether.  


Digging in the first time I really didn't know what to expect, it could go either way with something like this.. might end up being super light and greasy but I was glad to find it has some thickness to it.  Scooping it out it has a medium weight, more than I thought it would which is good.  Putting it in my palms I noticed a nice stickiness too which is another plus.  It's crazy looking at this cream like product that you would think would be light but rubbing it in your palms it somehow has a thick gripping feel to it.  Slides through your hairs with ease, just rub that shit through, comb it up and maybe add some more if you want.  
If you use a little less it won't be as shiny but the more you put in the more sheen you'll get.  When I first started using this my hair was a hell of a lot longer and I was slicking it back real big with a part and it was great for that but I used to keep a can with me to add more throughout the day.  If you have a lot of hair and you comb it often then you might end up combing out some of the 360 so add some more!  I noticed with shorter hair now the heavy dose application seemed to weigh my hairs down a bit but when I had long hair I had no problem getting height.  


kind of loose on top here


but if your hairs longer it will be better, or you can slick it tight with a comb



Overall it's a winner.  It's water based so like I said you might want to keep some on standby throughout the day whether combing or sweating with the heatwave's it might melt out of your hair but I think it's a great summer or anytime product.  Washes out super easy too which is good in the summer if you're out doing things outside, taking extra showers or swimming you know how quick the heavy pomades gunk up if your hairs getting soaked a couple times a day.  Good clean smell, adds some luster to your locks, makes them soft but still style able.. holds good too.  Not sure how S Curl did it, but I can say the claims on the can hold true for me- makes hair shiny and healthy looking, no build up cause it washes out clean every time soon as the water hits it, and the hold is good don't know if I'd call it firm but it works.  If you can rock waves this is supposed to be one of the best too, so keep brushing.  It's a staple in my cabinet, grab some today.
