✃ Cut this Wolfy Shag for Ajax. More snippets of @blackorchidbarbers time down in Houston w/our friends from @odouds . We used two very fun and incredibly useful products from @odouds for Ajax, the Condtioning Cream (a personal favorite) and Clay Spray. The Conditioning Cream locks in moisture, hydrates and protects, while the Clay Spray provides structure and body without weighing the hair down… 🙌masterful products.

Thanks for the stellar time, awesome photoshoot, and the opportunity to chop it up. Cheers! 🍻🥸💈

O’Douds started from a simple but important belief: the products we use every day should be made with the same level of care and consideration as the things we put into our bodies.
Rather than compromise, we chose to build everything from the ground up using plant-based, cruelty-free ingredients that we could fully stand behind. That decision was not made for marketing, but out of personal conviction.
That same approach continues today. Every formula is created with intention, balancing performance with responsibility. We believe that effective products and ethical practices should not be separate choices. If you feel the same- let's be buds🤗 🌱
Two of our most adaptable jars on the shelf.
Built for different routines, hair types, and length.
👉️Air Dry Paste
One of our most versatile daily drivers. Use it on its own for matte texture, volume, and separation, or work a small amount into other stylers to lighten heavier hold products and add a more natural finish. Also great for reviving second-day hair or refreshing fringe throughout the day.
👉️ Styling Treatment
A daily styling cream built for soft control, conditioning, and natural movement. Use it alone for relaxed styles, as a blow-dry cream before heavier stylers, or layered with pomades and pastes to add moisture, flexibility, and a more touchable finish.
Our secret weapon for styling?
Use O’Douds Conditioning Cream as a base for adding moisture and controlling frizz on long, coarse, or curly hair types.
It deeply conditions the hair and scalp throughout the day while providing loose control and a medium non-greasy shine. Acts as a heat protectant and pre-styler before blow-drying.
Some connections make too much sense not to act on. After getting to know the team behind Black Orchid, we wanted to bring that same level of intention and personality into our world. So we invited owner Travis, barber Joey (@joeysparkscuts ), and marketing director Kristen down to our Houston lab for a hands-on day of styling, experimenting, and pushing products a little further than usual.

We had our friend @joeysparkscuts with @blackorchidbarbers help style our Standard Pomade with some tips and tricks for parting your hair, setting a style in place and how to effectively work in product.

✨And remember, when blow drying: Hot to MOLD, Cold to HOLD
We're picking more than flowers this Spring!💐
Picking the perfect pomade for your day-to-day or special event depends on what you are looking for in terms of hold, restylability, or how easily it can be washed out.
🔸Multi-Purpose Pomade - Think of this as the multi-tool of pomades: built to be re-stylable no matter what you throw at it, it's perfect for heat, humidity, or working out.
🔺Standard Pomade - Expect a strong, pliable, and slick hold that keeps your hair in place all day and can be easily restyled. This product is water-soluble, so it rinses out of your hair easily with water.
▫️Traditional Pomade - Made with only natural waxes and oils, this pomade is completely petroleum-free. It excels at slick backs, pompadours, and other high-shine styles.
We’re digging deeper with our buds over at @blackorchidbarbers this month!
Follow along our #StockistSpotlight for styling tips, transformations, and product walkthroughs with your favorites. ✨
Barbering goes beyond the chair.
O’Douds has been part of our daily work since we began — on our shelves and in our hands.
So we went to Houston to see it at the source.
Joey, KK & Travis spent a few days on both sides of the camera with their team — creating, learning, and building.
We came for a shoot.
Left with a real connection.
