The Modify Pomade Trio is three jars of Hanz de Fuko's classic high-shine pomade at a better-value price point. If the polished finish, the humidity resistance, and the easy washout have made Modify a regular in your routine, the Trio is the straightforward way to stay stocked. Same formula, same results, better value per jar. See the full product breakdown for Modify Pomade below.
Hanz de Fuko is a grooming brand that earns its reputation through formulas that go beyond basic styling - but not every great product needs to reinvent the wheel. Modify Pomade is the most traditional formula in the range, and it's there because sometimes a classic, high-shine, medium-hold pomade is exactly what the job calls for.
-
Hold: Medium (5/10)
-
Finish: High Shine (8/10)
-
Base: Water-based, fully water-soluble
-
Best For: All hair types; slickbacks, undercuts, classic side parts, and sleek everyday styles
Modify Pomade delivers the kind of polished, high-shine finish that classic pomades are known for, without the heavy, over-greased feel that traditional oil-based formulas can leave behind. It's humidity-resistant, which keeps styles from collapsing in damp conditions, and it works equally well on wet or dry hair - applied to wet hair it locks in a smooth controlled finish, applied to dry hair it adds shine and definition without disturbing the style you've already built. It also works as a heat protectant before blow-drying or flat ironing. Fully water-soluble and washes out cleanly with shampoo.
Who's It For
Modify Pomade suits anyone who wants a clean, polished, high-shine finish without the commitment of an oil-based formula. It's the natural choice for slickbacks, undercuts, classic side parts, and any style where a groomed, refined look is the goal. For medium hold with a more natural or matte finish, Scheme Cream or Claymation are the alternatives. For stronger hold with the same high shine, Heavymade is the step up.
Key Benefits
- VP/Methacrylamide/Vinyl Imidazole Copolymer delivers a medium-hold film that keeps styles in place through the day while remaining humidity-resistant, so styles don't lose their shape in damp conditions.
- Petrolatum provides the body and deep shine characteristic of a classic pomade, giving the formula its high-gloss finish without the heavy, greasy feel of traditional oil-based products.
- Lanolin Alcohol and PEG-75 Lanolin add a natural conditioning layer that enhances shine while keeping hair soft and manageable under hold.
- Phenyl Trimethicone smooths the hair cuticle as you style, amplifying the high shine finish and reducing frizz and flyaways along the way.
- Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter conditions the hair shaft during styling, repairing dryness and keeping strands soft and pliable rather than brittle under hold.
- Lonicera Caprifolium and Lonicera Japonica (Honeysuckle) Flower Extracts protect the hair from environmental stressors and harsh treatments, adding a protective conditioning benefit with each use.
- Hydrolyzed Quinoa reinforces the hair's protein structure, improving strength and resilience over time with regular use.
-
Works as a heat protectant before blow-drying or flat ironing, adding utility beyond standard styling.
-
Fully water-soluble and washes out cleanly with shampoo - no build-up, no residue, no clarifying shampoo needed.
How To Use
Apply to wet hair for a smooth, controlled, high-shine finish that locks the style in place as the hair dries. Apply to dry hair to add shine and definition to an existing style without disturbing it. Scoop a dime-sized amount into your palm, rub between your hands to warm and loosen the consistency, then work through hair from roots to ends before combing or shaping into place. For maximum hold, leave the jar open overnight to allow the formula to thicken and concentrate before use. Works as a heat protectant applied to damp hair before blow-drying or flat ironing. Washes out with shampoo.
Why MASC Recommends This
Modify Pomade fills the classic pomade slot in the Hanz de Fuko range with more going on under the surface than most traditional formulas. The high shine and medium hold are exactly what you'd expect, but the humidity resistance, the heat protectant functionality, and the conditioning ingredient profile make it genuinely more useful than a standard shine pomade. If your go-to style is anything on the sleek, polished end of the spectrum and you've been dealing with products that feel heavy or don't wash out cleanly, Modify is worth a serious look. The Trio makes sense once it settles into your regular rotation.
