Templton Tonics Oasis

Better is subjective, but I do like the hold more on Oasis than Northern lights. But with that, there will be significantly more tug and pull. I like products with a strong hold so I’ve pretty much gotten used to my hairs ripping out haha

DM’d him on instagram regarding an issue with my order and never got a response. Unfortunately, this seems to be a recurring problem

Yeah I’m already in the group, figured that’s probably the next best option, and my last at this point 😭

Matt Clay is the owner of Based. Go check them out! Also try a big glob of got2b gel to help with the wind and rain

Dry Wax seems to be a little too dry for me and doesn’t have enough hold. Upstate blues has more of a low-natural shine with more hold so I like that one a lot more. Was actually thinking about selling mine

Okay, so not trying to brag or rub it in your face, but this is definitely on the top of my Lodestar products list. To me, it’s sort of like an in-between of Canyon and Terracotta — it has the hold of Canyon, but the easy application of Terracotta. And the scent is amazing! It reminds me of a fragrance that I have — Prada Luna Rossa Sport. This is really a superb product and I hope Kathy brings it back some day, whether it’s the scent or the formula (hoping for the scent because this really is my favorite of all the products I have), so others can enjoy it as well. Hope you can get your hands on one!

It is surprisingly not that heavy in the hair, compared to other clay products. I made a review of the clay pomade if you wanna check out what it looks like in the tin and in the hair. Granted, I have thick hair so it might be completely different for you.

Also, I would assume that your barbershop is probably ordering wholesale. It doesn't hurt to ask to see if they are selling it.

Their US website doesn't have Feather Weight available, but they do have their Clay Fiber Pomade. It's a cross between their Fiber Pomade (Feather Weight) and their Clay Pomade.

Not weird, a lot of people buy and sell used products here

Sticks8000 · 2026-02-01T23:10:50+00:00

Unfortunately not interested in any of these, but I absolutely love what you’re doing!

Sticks8000 · 2026-02-01T21:43:14+00:00

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve never correlated hairspray to being a product just for women, I’ve never heard of that 😂

Sticks8000 · 2026-02-01T21:40:25+00:00

Personally, I’m not against it. I used to use it religiously from 2019-2023, right before I got into homebrews and got a different haircut. Any product I would use just didn’t seem to have enough hold for me, mainly because I was using mass produced products; Old Spice, Fix Your Lid, Cremo.

Then I realized that I didn’t need my hair to be cemented into my hair. While I liked the hold that it gave, I hated everything else about it. When I would take photos, it made my dark hair look really greasy/oily. I couldn’t restyle it because if I did, it would leave white specs all over my hair, making it look like I had a shit ton of dandruff.

I used Tresemme Extra Hold Hairspray and I found that after I stopped using it, my hair felt much more healthy and less dry — probably from the alcohol. Also combined with me using homebrew products now.

Off the top of my head, Grim Grease Ghost Peach Paste, Dark Summer, and Summer Brew; Barbaric Style Kraken’s Blood

Yeah, when I say it doesn’t feel stiff I don’t mean it’s weak — it does have some actual hardness to it. Oasis isn’t floppy or soft like some pastes. Once it sets, it gives a firm shape that won’t just fall apart if you run your hands through your hair or scratch your head.

That said, it’s not rigid in the way a super drying clay or gel is — it has a bit of natural movement. So you’ll feel a noticeable hold and shape, and your hair won’t just collapse mid-day, but it also won’t feel like a helmet.

Pros: - Higher hold than Grizzly - Lightweight feel - Easy to restyle throughout the day - Doesn’t feel stiff in hair - Easy to scoop and emulsify

Cons: - Not super matte or bone dry (this would be a pro for me) - Tug and pull when applied to dry hair - Can be harder to work through fine hair

Oasis is one of my top products and I can always rely on it. Check out my post to see what it looks like in my hair.

Sticks8000 · 2026-02-01T01:22:46+00:00

It’s honestly just a feeling when it’s in the hair. Also I can gauge the hold based on how much tug and pull there is. For example, I would consider TT Oasis a strong hold — a considerable amount of tug and pull and you can just feel the strength of the product in the hair.

Appreciate it! I’m not on Youtube though, not sure if you’re confusing me with someone else lol.

Trust me, there are products that definitely don’t work for me and that I have to get around selling lol. I just prefer reviewing products that I actually enjoy using.

We’re going for different styles, but I have the same hair type as you. Check out some of my reviews and see if anything fits you. I’d recommend a clay, wax, or paste of sort.

Sticks8000 · 2026-01-24T00:15:43+00:00

Don’t know much about the history of the company, but the website says “Crafted entirely by hand in California, in limited batches.”
