Uppercut Deluxe is a premium men's grooming brand born in Australia and trusted by barbers worldwide. Founded by barber Steve Purcell, the brand draws on classic barbershop heritage and filters it through a modern, no-nonsense lens. Every product in the range is built to perform, whether you're behind the chair or in front of the bathroom mirror.
Control Cream was born out of a gap in the men's grooming market for a lightweight styling cream that gives hair structure and shape without bogging it down. The result is a moisture-rich formula designed to boost the condition of the hair cuticle while being lightweight enough to smooth it out. For curly and wavy hair it enhances and defines natural movement, and for straight hair it smooths frizz and adds texture and volume. It can be used alone for a natural, barely-there finish, or as a pre-styling base to cocktail in with other Uppercut Deluxe products for more hold and definition. Activated by heat, a quick blow-dry brings out its full conditioning and nourishing properties alongside its warm Suede and Sandalwood aroma.

Who's It For
Anyone with curly, wavy, or frizzy hair who wants a product that works with their natural texture rather than fighting it. Also a smart pick for straight hair types dealing with frizz or flatness who want something lightweight that adds life without visible product. And for the experimenters out there, Control Cream works brilliantly as a base layer underneath a stronger Uppercut Deluxe styling product for a more customised result.

How To Use
Apply a small amount to dry or damp hair and spread evenly throughout. For curly or wavy hair, scrunch into hair and allow to dry naturally or use a blow-dryer with a diffuser for added volume and curl definition. For straight hair, apply vigorously and blow-dry for texture, volume, and frizz control. Can be used as a pre-styling base before applying a secondary Uppercut Deluxe styling product for more hold.
Why MASC Recommends This
Control Cream quietly does a lot. It conditions, it controls, it enhances, and it layers well with other products in the range. For anyone with curly or wavy hair who has struggled to find a men's styling product that actually understands their hair type, this is the one. And for straight hair guys dealing with frizz or flatness, it's a surprisingly effective fix that adds life without any visible product residue.
