Men’s styling.
Hold level first, finish second.
Fifteen products from the Ossion barber line, and two questions sort them: how much hold do you need, and do you want it matte or shiny? Get those two right and the rest is application. Most of the waxes come in the same 5.07 fl oz tub at the same price, so the choice is genuinely about finish rather than budget.

Mega Hold is the strongest wax in the Ossion barber range, made for hair that does not cooperate. Thick, coarse, unruly or fast-growing hair that shrugs off ordinary wax within an hour — this holds it. It grips hard enough for extreme shapes and full-day wear while still finishing with shine rather than a dry, powdery look.
Who it's for: thick and unruly hair, dramatic volume, and anyone who has tried strong waxes before and watched the style drop anyway. On fine hair it will be more hold than the hair needs — Medium or Extra suits that better.
How to use: a pea-sized amount is enough even for thick hair. Warm it fully between your palms until it turns clear, then work through dry hair section by section. Build in layers rather than applying it all at once.
In the range: Mega is the top of the Ossion hold scale — Medium → Extra → Ultra → Mega.

What is actually in it
Most sea salt sprays are water, salt and a hold polymer. Read the full list on this one and there is more going on. Sodium chloride sits second, so the salt is not a trace amount; VP/VA copolymer sits third and is the film former that holds the shape you scrunch in. After that come three hydrolysed proteins — corn, wheat and soy — four seaweed extracts (Codium tomentosum, Ecklonia cava, Gelidium cartilagineum, Hizikia fusiforme) and five mineral ferments carrying copper, iron, magnesium, silicon and zinc.
Glycerin, propylene glycol and butylene glycol are in there as humectants. That combination is the point: salt pulls moisture out of the strand, and those are what stop the finish going brittle. There are no silicones in the formula.
This one or the Morfose version?
Same formula, different scent. Ingredients one through twenty-nine match the Morfose Sea Salt Spray label exactly — same salt level, same VP/VA copolymer, same three proteins, four seaweeds and five mineral ferments. The Ossion version is finished with cedarwood (acetyl cedrene) and patchouli over the shared citrus top notes, which is where the warmer, woodier barbershop scent comes from.
If you want the same texture without the woody finish, take the Morfose one.
How to use
Shake. Mist over damp hair, work it through with your fingers and either leave it to dry or rough-dry on low for more lift at the root. On short and mid-length men's cuts two or three passes is usually enough; go heavier for a messier, more separated finish. Pairs with a matte wax or clay if you want hold on top of texture — see men styling products.
Sea salt spray questions
Do you put sea salt spray on wet or dry hair? Damp is where it works best — towel-dried, not dripping. On soaking hair the salt dilutes and the VP/VA copolymer cannot form a film, so you lose the grip. On bone-dry hair you get texture but less shape.
Is salt spray damaging for hair? Salt draws moisture out, which is why a spray that is only salt and water leaves hair feeling like straw. This one carries glycerin, propylene glycol and butylene glycol as humectants plus three hydrolysed proteins, which is what keeps the texture from turning brittle. It still is not a leave-in conditioner: if your hair is already dry, use it on the mid-lengths and follow with a leave-in.
Should you use it before or after other products? First, on damp hair, before cream or oil. Anything with a film or an oil on it coats the strand and the salt then has nothing to grip.
How do you get the most texture out of it? Spray in sections, scrunch with your hands rather than combing, and let it air-dry or rough-dry on low. Brushing it out afterwards removes the grit you just built.
Ultra Hold is built for shapes that must not move. Pompadours, quiffs, high volume on top, sharp partings that need to look the same at 9pm as they did at 9am — this is the wax that holds them. The grip is strong from the first application, but the wax stays workable long enough to build the shape before it sets, and it finishes shiny rather than dull or chalky.
Who it's for: structured, high-volume styles and hair that tends to collapse by midday. Also the right choice if you use a hairdryer to build volume and need something to lock it in afterwards.
How to use: warm a pea-sized amount until clear, then apply to dry hair — this wax needs dry hair to reach full strength. Build the shape first with your hands, then use a comb for a sharper finish.
In the range: Ultra is the second strongest — Medium → Extra → Ultra → Mega. Step up to Mega only if your hair is thick and genuinely fights back.
Matte Hold is the shine-free option in the Ossion barber range. It gives the same barber-grade control as the shiny waxes but leaves no gloss at all, so the hair reads as thick, textured and freshly cut rather than styled. That makes it the natural choice for messy crops, textured fringes and the undone-but-deliberate looks that shine actively works against.
Who it's for: anyone who wants control without looking like they used product, and fine hair that needs the visual thickness a matte finish creates — shine flattens fine hair, matte does the opposite.
How to use: warm a pea-sized amount between your palms, then work it through dry hair with your fingers, pushing upward at the roots for texture. Skip the comb — combing removes the separation that makes a matte style work.
In the range: Matte holds around the same strength as Medium and Extra, with the shine removed. For a matte finish with more grip, pair it with Ossion Hair Styling Powder at the roots.
A heat protectant spray for men that puts a thin barrier between your hair and a dryer, iron or clipper-adjacent heat. It slows how fast heat reaches the cortex and spreads it more evenly, so you get fewer of the hot spots that blister the cuticle.
Who it's for: anyone who blow-dries daily or uses a straightener — a dryer on high runs around 300°F at the nozzle, which is more than enough to roughen hair over months.
How to use: mist evenly over damp hair before blow-drying, or over dry hair before an iron — never on soaking hair, since trapped water steams the cuticle. Cover the section rather than soaking one spot.
What you'll notice: hair that stays smoother and shinier after styling, and less of the dry, straw-like texture that daily heat builds up. It buys margin; it does not make hair heat-proof.
A barber-grade finishing hair spray for men, with extra strong hold. It is the step that comes after the wax: the wax builds the shape, the spray keeps it there through wind, weather and a full shift. The mist is fine enough to set without visible residue or a stiff shell.
Who it's for: pompadours, quiffs, sharp partings and any structured cut that has to look the same at the end of the day as it did at the start.
How to use: finish the style first, then hold the can 25–30 cm from dry hair and spray in short bursts. Never soak one spot — that is what makes hair look wet and go crunchy.
Pairs with: Ossion barber waxes for the shape, this spray for the hold.
Extra Hold is the step up from everyday: a barber-grade wax for cuts that have to keep their shape from the first comb-through to the end of a long shift. It holds structured styles — sharp partings, defined fringes, disconnected cuts — without the crunch or flaking that comes from stiff, resin-heavy formulas. The finish is shiny and healthy-looking rather than greasy.
Who it's for: normal to slightly thick hair, styles that need real definition, and long days where the hair cannot drop by the afternoon.
How to use: warm a pea-sized amount between your palms until it goes clear, then work through dry hair, shaping as you go. For more lift at the root, apply from underneath rather than on top.
In the range: Extra is the middle of the Ossion hold scale — Medium → Extra → Ultra → Mega. Choose Ultra if your style still moves, or Medium if this feels like more hold than you need.
A hair styling powder that builds volume where wax cannot. Shaken onto dry roots it grips each strand and lifts it away from the scalp, creating body from the base rather than shape on the surface. The finish is completely matte, so fine hair reads as thicker rather than flatter.
Who it's for: fine, limp hair that goes flat by midday, and textured crops that need separation and grip without shine.
How to use: shake a small amount directly onto dry roots — a little goes a very long way — then work it in with your fingertips, lifting as you go. Never apply to damp hair; it needs a dry surface to grip.
Pairs with: matte wax through the lengths for hold, this powder at the roots for lift.
The strongest of the three Ossion matte waxes. It holds a shape through the day without stiffening, and finishes completely dry — no gloss, no wet look. Water-based, so despite the grip it still rinses out with a normal wash.
Who it's for: styles that need to hold their shape all day — structured crops, defined fringes, sharp partings — on hair that lighter waxes let drop by the afternoon.
How to use: take a fingertip of wax, warm it between your palms and work it through clean, dry hair from the roots out. Shape with your fingers. Build up gradually; this one goes a long way.
In the range: the firm end of the Ossion matte trio, above Matte Pomade (medium) and Matte Putty (flexible).
Medium Hold is the everyday wax in the Ossion barber range — the one that shapes hair without locking it. It gives enough grip to hold a side part, a textured crop or a swept-back style through the day, but the hair still moves and you can run your fingers through it without breaking the shape. The finish is lightly shiny rather than wet: visible condition, not visible product.
Who it's for: daily styling, medium-length hair, anyone who finds strong waxes stiff or heavy. If you restyle during the day, this is the one — it never sets hard, so it reworks with your hands and no extra product.
How to use: scoop a pea-sized amount, warm it between your palms until it turns clear, then work it through dry hair from the back forward. Start with less than you think; you can always add a second pass.
In the range: Medium sits at the soft end of the Ossion hold scale — Medium → Extra → Ultra → Mega. Matte Hold offers the same control with a shine-free finish.
One product for hair and beard, with a matte finish. The dual-use formula gives a strong but flexible hold and a subtle, natural look rather than shine — which is what makes it work on both. Non-greasy, and it washes out without leaving a sticky residue behind.
Who it's for: anyone who styles hair and beard together and wants control without the wet look — and anyone who would rather carry one product than two.
How to use: warm a small amount between your palms, then work through dry hair and beard with your fingers. Skip the comb on the beard if you want texture; use it if you want the shape sharper.
What you'll notice: all-day control with a natural matte finish that does not read as styled.
The softest hold in the Ossion matte trio. The creamy putty texture spreads easily and leaves hair movable all day — you can run your hands through it and reshape without the style cracking. Matte finish, with water as the first ingredient.
Who it's for: anyone who wants texture and separation rather than a fixed shape, and shorter styles that only need light guidance. A good starting point if firmer waxes have felt heavy.
How to use: take a fingertip of putty, warm it between your palms and work it through clean, dry hair. Shape with your fingers and rework whenever you like.
In the range: the flexible end of the Ossion matte trio. Step up to Matte Pomade for medium hold or Matte Styling Wax for strong hold.
A matte pomade built for hair that fights back. The medium-firm hold is strong enough to bring wavy or unruly hair into line, but the finish stays completely shine-free, so the result reads as natural texture rather than a set style. Water is the first ingredient, carried in ozokerite wax for the grip.
Who it's for: wavy and coarse hair that resists lighter products, and anyone who wants pomade-level control without the gloss a classic pomade leaves behind.
How to use: take a fingertip of wax, warm it between your palms and work it through clean, dry hair. Shape with your fingers. Apply to dry hair rather than damp — water dilutes the hold.
In the range: sits between Matte Putty (softer, flexible) and Matte Styling Wax (stronger, longer-lasting) in the Ossion matte trio.
The hold ladder, and the finish
The 5.07 fl oz waxes are one family at five strengths. The 3.38 fl oz matte tubs are a separate, drier-finish set.
| If your hair… | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Everyday hold, still touchable | Medium Hold Wax$14.95 · 5.07 fl oz | The starting point. Enough structure for a normal day without setting hard. |
| Hold that survives a commute | Extra Hold Wax$14.95 | One step up. Where most people land if medium drops out by midday. |
| Spiky, structured, stays put | Ultra Hold Wax$14.95 | Use less than you would with medium. Ultra hold on too much product is what causes flaking. |
| The firmest hold in the line | Mega Hold Wax$14.95 | For thick or coarse hair that defeats everything else. |
| Hold without any shine | Matte Hold Wax$14.95 | Same family, matte finish. The natural-looking option. |
| Pliable, reworkable through the day | Matte Putty$14.95 · 3.38 fl oz | A putty rather than a wax — flexible hold you can reshape with your hands. |
| Matte with a firmer set | Matte Styling Wax$14.95 · 3.38 fl oz | Stronger than the putty, still dry-finish. |
| Combed, classic, slightly slick | Matte Pomade$14.95 · 3.38 fl oz | Pomade control without the wet look. |
| Wet-look, slicked back | Strong Hold Gel$20.95 · 25.36 fl oz | The only gel in the line, and the largest bottle. For slicked styles, not textured ones. |
| Gritty, matte, undone texture | Sea Salt Spray$23.95 · 8.45 fl oz | Texture rather than hold. On damp hair for volume, on dry hair for grip. |
| Curls that need shape | Curl Defining Mousse$19.95 · 11.83 fl oz | On damp hair, scrunched in. Defines without the crunch of a gel. |
| Roots that fall flat | Styling Powder$18.95 · 0.7 oz | Tap it in at the roots on dry hair. Instant matte lift with almost no weight. |
| The style has to last all day | Hair Spray, Extra Strong$19.95 · 13.52 fl oz | The finishing step. Goes on last, over everything else. |
| You blow-dry or use a straightener | Heat Protectant Spray$19.95 · 11.83 fl oz | Before the heat, not after. The cheapest insurance in the line. |
| One product for hair and beard | Hair & Beard Matte Cream$14.95 · 5.92 fl oz | A matte cream that works on both. The simplest place to start. |
Three rules that fix most of it
Emulsify first
Rub the wax between your palms until it turns clear and warm. Straight from the tub it clumps, and clumps are what look greasy.
Start with a pea
For short hair that is genuinely enough. You can always add a second pass; you cannot take product out without washing.
Back to front
Work from the back forward so the front — where everyone looks — gets the least product. Front-first is why hairlines end up looking loaded.
Not quite what you needed?
About this collection
Every product here answers one question: how much hold, and what finish? The Ossion barber waxes run from medium through extra, ultra and mega, with a matte variant for anyone who wants control without shine. Red gum gel delivers a wet look that holds all day. Styling powder builds volume in fine hair with a few shakes. Sea salt spray adds gritty, beach-style texture, and the extra strong finishing spray locks the whole thing in place.
Work waxes through dry hair from the back forward, using less than you think — you can always add more. Powder and sea salt spray go on at the roots of dry hair; finishing spray comes last, held at arm's length. For a natural look, matte wax alone is usually enough; for structured styles, pair a strong wax with the finishing spray.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between matte and normal wax?
Finish, not strength. The matte tubs dry down without shine, which reads as natural hair rather than styled hair. The standard waxes leave a low sheen. Both come in comparable hold levels, so pick the finish you want and then the hold.
Which hold level should I start with?
Medium, unless you already know your hair is thick or your style is structured. Most people who complain that wax feels heavy are using more hold than they need and compensating with more product.
Do these wash out?
The waxes and the gel come out with a normal shampoo. If you use a lot daily, a clarifying wash every week or two keeps build-up down.
Wax or powder for volume?
Powder. Wax adds weight, which is the opposite of what flat roots need. Tap the powder in at the roots on dry hair, then use wax on the lengths if you want definition too.
