So my hair is very Asian. What I mean by that is that it is very straight and actually quite strong; it really does not taper to the sides of my head, but rather "self spikes" in a sense giving me a faux-fro if my hair is long enough. A bit like a static hair after a balloon rub. When I had long spiked hair, I went through a variety of products, mostly gels and even glue to get 3-4" spikes. I actually found the best product to use was Murray's Hair Dressing Pomade, Superior, 3 oz.. This was goopy enough that, when lathered on generously, had enough to hold the spikes up but not have the crusty look of gel. I also applied this when I let my hair down, just with less product. Now a days, I have short hair, but want to keep it a bit styled, so I run a very light amount of Murray's through and it gives my hair a nice "messy" look.
This product is much different from Murray's. Murray's is much waxier and stickier. This product is thinner and slimier. I ran a small portion through my hair. It feels nice on my hair, not unlike gel when it is first applied. It holds my hair together rather nicely and doesn't feel too gross when running my hands through it later. The scent, I believe, is supposed to resemble coconut... but like others, I do not care for the smell. Throughout the day, if you rub your hands through your head or wear a hat, it will "unbond" slowly... this may be a normal occurrence for hair products, but it won't set anything in stone.
This is probably going to boil down to what kind of hair you have, as mine is fairly different from the norm. I think it is a better choice than gel, perhaps a "cleaner" option than Murray's (easy to wash out). But personally for me, Murray's is what I am sticking with.

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program These Motions products are, I think, developed for people with a very different hair type than mine. In this case, regardless of the hair it's designed for, it's just a very runny and thin product; not something I would consider a pomade. Your mileage may vary, but it's not for me.Best Deals on Motions At Home Shine Enhancing Pomade, 3.5-Ounce Jars (Pack of 6)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program upon opening the container its very glittery/shiny due to some additive. this pomade styles reasonably wellconsidering how thin it is anyway. I find it to be closer to a gel than a pomade. Reminds me of a gel I used to use in the 80's as a kid.It has a vaguely pina colada scent to it, so that's a plus. I personally dislike it because i feel its too thin to be considered a pomade. It has a very mild hold to say the least, not as strong as id expect from a pomade.
its a perfectly fine hair styling product, but to say its a pomade is being pretty optimisitc. But if you're looking for a pomade that isnt too stiff and has a mild hold that give you a good shine on your hairthis isnt a bad product.
Honest reviews on Motions At Home Shine Enhancing Pomade, 3.5-Ounce Jars (Pack of 6)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I chose to rate Motions Shine Enhancing Pomade 4 stars because it works well applied lightly. I emulsify (warm) it around tip of finger first and then wraps 1 inch sections around the wavy bottom half of my hair and it creates more defined waves. I do not care for the smell, would prefer something like Redkin Anti-snap or an apple/grape scent.I highly recommend trying this pomade first with just one jar before ordering a pack of 6 from Amazon and later discovering you may not like it and your stuck with 6 jars!
Altough it has few ingredients, I would have preferred Motions company not to use Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Benzyl Benzoate and replace mineral oil with olive or coconut oil.
