DAX High & Tight Awesome Hold

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.

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.
