The best of both worlds - firm control with a finish that looks like you barely tried. Captain Fawcett's Putty Pomade delivers strong, flexible hold with a natural, low-shine finish ideal for contemporary textured styles or deliberately rugged looks on medium to thick hair.
Multiple awards finalist and London Packaging Week Innovation Awards finalist in 2025, this is a daily workhorse with serious credentials and the kind of effortless aesthetic that takes real skill to achieve.
- Hold: Strong
- Shine: Low-Natural
- Finish: Natural/Matte
- Best For: Textured styles on thicker hair
- Application: Dry or towel-dried hair
- Reworkable: Moderate
For those who want structured texture without the tell-tale shine of a traditional pomade. Works especially well on thicker or coarser hair types where lighter products lose the battle. Ideal for modern crops, textured fades, messy fringes and any style that needs to stay put without looking overdone.
- Strong, firm hold that keeps hair in place throughout the day with a flexible, non-stiff feel
- Low-shine natural finish creates textured, contemporary styles without a glassy appearance
- Humidity resistance helps maintain style integrity in wet or variable climates
- Argan Oil (Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil) nourishes and softens hair during wear, reducing brittleness
- Lanolin conditions hair and aids in the smooth, even distribution of the product
- White Beeswax (Cera Alba) provides the waxy, pliable base that gives the putty its characteristic texture

A warm, rounded signature that works in the background without demanding attention. Fragrance Character: Verdant woods, warm spice and a lift of bright citrus
- Argan Oil (Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil) - rich in fatty acids and Vitamin E, conditions and softens hair while supporting healthy shine
- Lanolin - natural emollient derived from wool that conditions and improves product distribution through hair
- White Beeswax (Cera Alba) - natural wax that provides the putty texture and contributes to pliable, flexible hold
- Carnauba Wax (Copernicia Cerifera Cera) - plant-derived hard wax that adds structure and resilience to the hold
- VP/VA Copolymer - hair-fixative polymer that reinforces style hold without rigidity or flaking
Warm a small amount between the palms until softened and pliable. Work evenly through dry or towel-dried hair, then use your fingertips to shape and define. Build texture section by section for the best result. The formula offers moderate reworkability - reshape as needed throughout the day.
The Putty Pomade sits in a genuinely useful position in the Captain Fawcett styling range - it brings real hold for thicker hair types without the high-shine finish that many contemporary styles are moving away from. The Argan Oil and Lanolin combination means hair isn't left feeling stripped or stiff, and the multi-award recognition reflects consistent real-world performance. A strong choice for anyone who wants modern texture with lasting structure.
