I opened it and it is not for me

Using the products

03
Which product should I start with?

If you want hold and shape, start with the Pomade. If you want movement and texture rather than control, start with the Sea Salt Spray. The Starter Kit is all four pieces in one order if you would rather not choose.

What order do I use them in?
  1. Sea Salt Spray on damp hair, for wave and movement.
  2. Texture Powder once it is dry, for root lift and volume.
  3. Pomade to finish, for control and shine.
  4. Precision Styling Comb for parts and touch-ups.

Each one does a single job, and nothing overlaps with the piece before it.

How much pomade should I use?

Less than you think. Start with a small amount, warm it between your palms until it turns clear, then apply evenly through dry or slightly damp hair. Add more only where you need it.

Does the pomade dry hard or flake?

No. The finish stays pliable all day, so you can rework and reshape it rather than cracking it.

Is it greasy?

No, provided you start small. Too much of any pomade will look heavy, which is why the instructions lead with a small amount rather than a scoop.

Does it wash out?

Yes, with normal shampoo. Work the shampoo in before adding water for the easiest rinse.

Which size should I get?

The 2 oz jar suits shorter hair or occasional use. The 3.5 oz is the better value if you style every day.

What hair does it suit?

Side parts, slick backs, controlled shapes and everyday texture. Reviews on the product page come from people with straight, wavy, curly and thinning hair.

Ingredients and the brand

04
What is in the pomade?

Petrolatum, Cera Alba (Beeswax), Ceteareth-25, Fragrance. Petrolatum is the hold agent, beeswax gives structure without stiffness, Ceteareth-25 keeps the formula spreading evenly and rinsing out, and the fragrance is the scent.

The full list is on the product page under Ingredients.

Does it contain parabens or sulfates?

No parabens, and no SLS or SLES.

Who makes it?

Vivo Nostra was founded by Rafael Miele, a tattoo artist who got asked what he used in his hair often enough to go and make it. The formulas were worked out with barbers who style hair for a living. There is more on the About us page.

Where is it made?

Made in the USA, and we ship from the United States.

Are Vivo Nostra products cruelty-free?

Vivo Nostra does not test products on animals.

What makes Vivo Nostra different?

Vivo Nostra is built for men who want professional-grade grooming products with clean styling performance, strong presentation, and a simple daily routine.
