What’s the difference between Forte Series and other generic drugstore brands?

Forte Series products are formulated based on the Forte Series community of hair enthusiasts. In other words, our products are formulated by guys who REALLY care about hair.

What hair type is this product best suited for?

This product works best for guys with medium to long, thicker hair who are looking for a medium hold and low shine.

How is water-based pomade better than oil-based?

Oil-based pomades are made from waxes and petroleum. These ingredients feel greasy and sticky in the hair and are impossible to wash without shampoo. This water-based pomade on the other hand rinses out effortlessly

Where are your products made?

All of the Forte Series products are designed, formulated and manufactured in U.S.A.
