can anyone recommend me a good hair styling product for men?

apparently, the one that i frequent has stopped manufacturing so i need to find a suitable replacement for it.

no clays and only either paste wax / matte pomade because clay is too dry and too difficult for me to apply. also, MUST NOT BE STRONG SCENTED, tried:-

(i) Schwarzkopf OSiS+ Mighty Matte Ultra Strong Matte Cream; and

(ii) Bad Lab stuffs;

the scents for both is too repulsive to me, feel like i am walking around wearing cheap cologne.

i'm currently looking at Machine's Matte Pomade:-

no gels - only products that gives off matte finish.

tried some of their products previously, are you referring to their "moving rubber" series? they can't give me the style/hold that i want.

I’ve been using this since Oct last year, bought it at Walmart when visiting US, then got it locally from Shopee. Couldn’t find a physical shop here in KL who sells it on shelf

The smell is subtle, more importantly easy to wash

how is matte pomade, does it give good hold and is it greasy?

most importantly, how is the scent? is it pungent?

"old spice" - heard this brand being uttered by Americans quite frequently but mostly to indicate old or outdated fashion. how is the product for you? does it give good hold and is it greasy?

what does it smell like?

Go to salon ask the hairstylists there the best products they can recommend to you. Most selling reputable brand slike Schwarzkopf and L'Oréal which should be good enough for styling and holding it.

i bought and used Schwarzkopf OSiS+ Mighty Matte Ultra Strong Matte Cream before and i find the scent/smell is waaaaay too pungent and overpowering for me. despite only using like a small finger tip dollop, the scent/smell can permeates my entire car. this is too much for me.

i have to assume that all their products smells the same.

my previous salon recommended me a product called MQ Power Molding Clay and it works absolutely perfect for me, easy application, easy wash and almost non-existent smell/scent but he terminated his business and left for Dubai during MCO.

have been sourcing it online for the past few years until recently when i was told by most suppliers that the manufacturer no long make it.

i did asked my current salon for recommendation but she suggested Schwarzkopf however she only uses clay on her customers which i find unsuitable for me (too dry) and every time i applied it, almost guaranteed i will at least 8 or 10 strands of hair gets pulled out together.

may consider this as an alternative - how is it for you and how is the holding power?

is it greasy and does it gives off a matte finish or glossy one?

most importantly, how is the scent/smell?

i'm ok with anything between RM30.00 to RM40.00 as long as they give me what i want - your brand sounds and looks expensive. how much is it for one can?

yeah and surprisingly, it is quite difficult to find. everything else in the market seems to cater for people who loves (or is OK with) perfume.

i would sneeze for hours if I ever so slightly and accidentally caught a whiff of a scent/fragrant that my nose decided that it doesn't like.
