Reuzel: Holland’s Gift To Hair Care

Reuzel is pronounced roo-‘zul and originates from the Dutch for “lard.” Although Reuzel’s products contain no actual lard, they sculpt hair beautifully and were created by barbers – which is a huge bonus for creating effective pomades, shampoos and conditioners. Mostly geared to men, the shampoo & conditioner works for all, as do many of their other products.

The founders hail from Rotterdam, Netherlands, and in their own words, “hail from a time of rock-n-roll grit and punk rebellion… when Leen and Bertus, affectionately referred to as The Bearded Bastard and The Bloody Butcher, began their journey. Barbers by trade, provocateurs by character, with an insatiable desire to create the perfect pomades for the counterculture they were so deeply ingrained in.” They achieved their goal to after digging deep into the rich history of pomades, and created world’s finest in hair care with Reuzel.

So naturally, you have to try their lauded pomades, especially if you’re a short-haired man who needs style control. Their pomades deliver performance and precision for all hair types and style preferences, with a full range of hold levels and shine finishes. They are so versatile that you can create everything from structured styles to more natural looks with any of their nine signature formulas. Mix and match to control the consistency for long-lasting results.

Their Reuzel Hair Care Bundle consists of Reuzel Daily Shampoo (a gentle and moisturizing shampoo that cleanses without drying) and Reuzel Daily Conditioner (a lightweight formula that detangles and strengthens hair). I love that these products impart a little tingle so you know they’re working, and they smell invigorating as well. The result after using them is soft, balanced hair that is neither too dry nor too greasy.

Reuzel’s solid fragrance is small enough for a pocket or gym bag, or to keep in a glove compartment or office drawer. The REUZEL® Solid Cologne Balm is wax-based and so easy to apply with your fingertips. Infused with an appealing Wood & Spice scent, it also contains lemon zest, cedarwood, and clove for an enduring, lovely scent without the mess of traditional sprays.
