F:B hair styling and grooming: a buying guide
F:B is a hair-focused grooming brand, and the range we carry covers most of a styling routine: cleansing, prepping, holding, and finishing. This guide walks through the product types in the lineup, when to reach for a wax versus a pomade versus a spray, and how the cleansing and finishing pieces fit around them.
What F:B is about
F:B is a styling and grooming brand rather than a skincare line. The products we stock are built around hair: sprays, wax, pomade, a grooming tonic, shampoo, hair oil, a scalp concealer, and a hair fragrance. The range is wide enough that you can run a full routine from one brand, from washing through to a finishing spritz, which is handy if you like keeping your shelf consistent.
Understanding holds and finishes
Most of the decision with F:B comes down to two things: how strong a hold you want and what finish you are after. The Hard Holding Mat Wax gives a strong grip with a matte, no-shine result, good for textured or messy styles. The Bourbon Classic Pomade leans glossier and more classic, for slicked or combed looks. The hairsprays, including a Freeze Hairspray and a Hard Holding spray, lock a finished style in place. Pick the format that matches the look you build in the mirror.
Wax vs pomade: which to choose
Wax and pomade do similar jobs with different personalities. The Hard Holding Mat Wax is your pick for a modern matte finish and reworkable hold, so it suits shorter, textured cuts and anyone who hates a wet look. The Bourbon Classic Pomade is the traditional choice, with more shine and a smoother control that flatters combed-back and side-part styles. If you switch between looks, owning both gives you a matte option and a shine option in the same brand.
The hairsprays and locking it in
F:B carries more than one spray. The Freeze Hairspray in the 100ml size is a portable finisher, while the Hard Holding Hairspray in 250ml is the bigger bottle for everyday use and stronger hold. Sprays are the last step: you build the shape with wax or pomade, then mist to set it so it survives the day. If your style tends to drop by lunchtime, a holding spray is the cheapest fix before you reach for a heavier wax.
Prepping with the grooming tonic and oil
The Bourbon Grooming Tonic in 220ml and the Wet Hair Polish Oil in 160ml are prep and finishing pieces rather than core hold products. A grooming tonic helps tidy and condition hair before styling, giving the wax or pomade a cleaner base to work on. The polish oil adds shine and smooths flyaways once the style is set. Neither is essential to a basic routine, but they are the steps that make a finished look read as deliberate.
Cleansing and scalp care
The Hyper Deep Cleansing Shampoo in the large 480ml bottle is the wash step, built to clear out product buildup, which matters when you use wax and spray daily. The 15g Scalp Tattoo is a niche but useful piece: a concealer that fills thinning areas or a sharper hairline so a finished style looks fuller. Together they bracket the styling products, one cleaning the slate and the other tidying the finish.
Hair fragrance and the finishing touch
The Signature Hair Parfum After Sunset in 50ml is a hair fragrance, a lighter way to add scent than a skin perfume and one that lingers in styled hair through the day. It is a finishing extra rather than a styling necessity, but it rounds out the grooming kit for anyone who wants the whole routine, scent included, from a single brand. Spritz it last, after the style is set and the spray has dried.
Building an F:B routine
A simple F:B routine reads as wash, prep, style, set, finish. Start with the deep cleansing shampoo, work in the grooming tonic on damp hair, build the shape with wax or pomade, lock it with a holding spray, then add the polish oil or hair parfum to finish. You do not need every product to get a good result, so start with one hold product and one spray, then add the prep and finishing pieces as you dial in your look.
Authenticity and sourcing
Every F:B product we list at skinsli is sourced as authentic stock and shipped from our own inventory, so you get the genuine formula in the correct size rather than a grey-market repackage. With styling products, formula and hold strength matter, so buying the real thing means the wax, pomade, and sprays behave the way the brand intended. Items arrive sealed and ready to use.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What kind of products does F:B make?
F:B is a hair styling and grooming brand. The range we carry includes hairsprays, a matte hard-holding wax, the Bourbon Classic Pomade, a grooming tonic, deep cleansing shampoo, hair polish oil, a scalp tattoo concealer, and a hair parfum, so you can run a full styling routine from one brand.
Should I get the F:B mat wax or the Bourbon pomade?
Choose by finish. The Hard Holding Mat Wax gives a strong, matte, no-shine hold that suits textured and messy styles. The Bourbon Classic Pomade is glossier and smoother, better for slicked-back and side-part looks. If you switch between styles, keeping both covers a matte day and a shine day.
What is the difference between the F:B hairsprays?
The Freeze Hairspray comes in a 100ml size that travels well, while the Hard Holding Hairspray is a larger 250ml bottle for everyday use and a stronger lock. Both go on as the last step to set a style you have already built with wax or pomade.
In what order do I use the F:B products?
Wash with the Hyper Deep Cleansing Shampoo, work the Bourbon Grooming Tonic into damp hair, build your shape with wax or pomade, lock it with a holding hairspray, then add the Wet Hair Polish Oil or the hair parfum to finish. You do not need every step to get a good result.
What is the F:B Scalp Tattoo for?
The 15g Scalp Tattoo is a concealer that fills thinning areas or sharpens a hairline so a finished style looks fuller. It is a touch-up product you apply before styling, separate from the wax and sprays that build and hold the look.
Are these F:B products authentic?
Yes. Every F:B item we list is sourced as genuine stock and shipped from our own inventory in the correct size, sealed and ready to use. With styling products, hold strength and formula matter, so buying the real thing means the wax, pomade, and sprays behave as the brand intended.
