What Is Uppercut Deluxe?

Uppercut Deluxe is an Australian brand founded by childhood friends and barbers Luke Newman and Steve Purcell. Inspired by barber culture, surfing and skateboarding, they wanted to create professional products that reflected the atmosphere of their own barbershop.

The Uppercut name honours Luke Newman’s grandfather, Willy “Uppercut” O’Shea, a boxer who travelled with an Australian boxing troupe. The brand’s identity combines boxing, traditional barbershops and Australian counterculture.

Deluxe Pomade was the brand’s first styling product and remains one of its best-known formulas.

Which Uppercut Deluxe Pomade Should You Choose?

Deluxe Pomade: Strong Hold and High Shine

Deluxe Pomade is the signature Uppercut Deluxe pomade. Its water-based formula delivers strong hold without excessive stiffness and a high-shine finish inspired by traditional pomades.

It is especially suitable for well-defined classic hairstyles such as:

• Pompadours;
• Side parts;
• Slick backs;
• Styles with precise comb lines;
• Hairstyles requiring control and shine.

Deluxe Pomade works particularly well on short to medium, normal to thick, straight, wavy or curly hair. Because it is water-soluble, it rinses out more easily than a traditional wax-based pomade.

Matte Pomade: Medium Hold and Matte Finish

Matte Pomade is a versatile water-based product that provides medium hold and a natural finish without visible shine.

It is suitable for anyone wanting the control of a pomade without the glossy effect of a traditional style. It can be used for textured, natural or more structured looks on different hair lengths.

• Medium hold;
• Natural matte finish;
• Suitable for all hair types and lengths;
• Creates both classic and modern styles;
• Water-based formula that rinses out easily.

Clay: Strong, Matte and Reworkable Hold

Uppercut Deluxe Clay combines water- and wax-based ingredients to provide strong hold that remains flexible and reworkable throughout the day.

This styling clay is suitable for difficult-to-control hair and modern styles requiring texture, separation and low shine.

• Strong but reworkable hold;
• Matte, low-shine finish;
• Adds texture and definition;
• Controls straight, wavy or curly hair;
• Helps resist moderate heat and humidity.

Featherweight: Firm Hold Without Heaviness

Featherweight is a lightweight fibre paste that offers firm hold and low shine. Its tacky texture helps create volume, lift and piece-like separation without flattening the hair.

It is especially suitable for short to medium hair and styles such as textured quiffs, loose pompadours or hairstyles requiring volume.

• Firm hold;
• Low shine;
• Fibrous, pliable texture;
• Adds volume and lift;
• Suitable for all short to medium hair types.

Easy Hold: Light Hold and Natural Finish

Easy Hold is the lightest product in the main Uppercut Deluxe range. Its creamy texture provides flexible control, a natural matte finish and almost no visible sign of product in the hair.

It is suitable for relaxed hairstyles, fine hair, curls and anyone who does not want the feeling of a heavy styling product.

• Light hold;
• Natural matte finish;
• Adds texture and light volume;
• Suitable for all hair types and lengths;
• Especially suitable for fine or curly hair;
• Water-based formula that rinses out easily.

Monster Hold: Extreme, Sweat-Resistant Control

Monster Hold is a traditional wax-based pomade designed to deliver very powerful control. Its formula resists water and sweat and remains reworkable because it does not set completely.

It is intended for bold styles, extremely difficult-to-control hair and hairstyles that need to stay in place for an extended period.

• Heavy, very strong hold;
• Waxy finish with medium to high shine;
• Sweat-resistant performance;
• Reworkable throughout the day;
• Suitable for hair requiring maximum control.

Monster Hold does not rinse out with water alone. A degreasing shampoo, such as Detox and Degrease, may be required to remove the wax completely.

Styling Powder for Volume and Texture

Styling Powder is a lightweight styling powder designed to quickly add volume, texture and flexible hold. It does not create the greasy or glossy effect sometimes associated with waxes and pomades.

The powder is especially suitable for short to medium, fine, thinning or flat hair. It helps create textured crops, messy quiffs and natural-looking styles.

• Flexible, buildable hold;
• Natural matte finish;
• Adds volume at the roots;
• Makes fine hair appear fuller;
• Allows hair to be reworked throughout the day;
• Quick application directly onto dry hair.

Foam Tonic for Pre-Styling

Foam Tonic is a lightweight tonic mousse that can be used as a pre-styler, cutting aid or light-hold styling product. It helps condition the hair, provide healthy-looking shine and protect it during blow-drying.

Used before a blow-dryer, it creates a flexible foundation for volume and makes it easier to apply another Uppercut Deluxe styling product.

How Do You Choose a Product for Your Hairstyle?

For a Classic, Shiny Pompadour

Choose Deluxe Pomade for strong hold, high shine and precise comb lines.

For a Messy, Matte Finish

Choose Matte Pomade, Clay or Styling Powder. Matte Pomade provides versatile hold, Clay adds greater control and Styling Powder creates a lighter, fuller effect.

For Volume on Fine Hair

Use Styling Powder for quick volume and a natural finish, Featherweight for firmer hold or Easy Hold for lightweight, flexible control.

For Thick or Stubborn Hair

Deluxe Pomade is suitable for shiny, structured styles, while Clay provides a more matte finish. For extreme, sweat-resistant control, choose Monster Hold.

For a Natural Style on Curly Hair

Easy Hold provides lightweight control without making curls feel rigid. For greater definition and hold, apply a small amount of Matte Pomade or Clay.

How Do You Apply Uppercut Deluxe Pomade?

1. Begin with a small amount of product.
2. Warm and distribute the product between your palms.
3. Apply it to the back of the head first.
4. Gradually work toward the front and fringe.
5. Distribute the product from roots to ends.
6. Use your fingers for texture or a comb for a precise style.
7. Add a small amount of additional product if more hold is required.

Application on dry hair generally provides stronger hold and a more matte finish. Application on slightly damp hair makes distribution easier and can increase shine.

How Much Styling Product Should You Use?

Begin with a pea-sized or fingertip amount. The required quantity depends on your hair length, thickness and desired level of control.

It is better to add product gradually. Applying too much at once may weigh down the hair and make the style more difficult to adjust.

Are Uppercut Deluxe Products Only for Men?

Uppercut Deluxe is marketed as a men’s grooming and barbering brand, but its styling products can be used by anyone looking for their particular hold, texture or finish.

The best product depends more on your hair type and desired result than on the gender of the person using it.

Frequently Asked Questions About Uppercut Deluxe

Water-based products such as Deluxe Pomade, Matte Pomade and Easy Hold generally rinse out more easily. Monster Hold usually requires a degreasing shampoo.

What Is the Difference Between Matte Pomade and Clay?

Matte Pomade provides medium hold and a versatile matte finish. Clay delivers stronger hold, greater texture and more control for difficult-to-manage hair.
