It's alive! We stand up for the encore. This repetition of monster holds is a beast that knows no boundaries. The journey back to a full-sized can (70 grams) took some toddling and time…and now he's finally arrived! This titan is everything you can expect from the popular Stronghold pomade It has all the staying power.
Monster Hold is a traditional wax-based pomade that can be reworked throughout the day. An extremely strong, sweat-resistant wax made specifically for traditional or more daring styles. A little extra holding power is required. The weight holds it firmly in place, making it perfect for controlling your style all day long!
Being wax-based, Monster Hold will not harden. Perfect for people who want to change their look. In other words, it won't come off with water or sweat alone.
*To remove monster hold from your hair, we recommend using Uppercut Deluxe Detox & Digrease Shampoo.
Who is Ben Brown?
For the past 20 years, he has been an illustrator based in Sydney, Australia.
Ben Brown is an artistic icon best known for fusing themes surrounding counterculture and the absurdity of life.
As a consumer of pop and junk culture from a young age, this formed Ben's ongoing graphic influences and aesthetic, consisting of old movies, comics, books, and that cheeky print style designed to grab attention. I developed a starting point.
The roots are an old-fashioned rocker. Ben has worked with numerous music labels to create tons of album covers, band posters, and tour posters. Over the years, his illustrative work has filled the pages of surfing and skating publications with his flashy, confrontational visuals, as well as contributing to the direction of the brand.
Ten years ago, we asked Ben to develop our original “Frankie” monster hold graphics. That's why we're proud to have Ben back in 2024 to bring back the latest version of our pomade in a timely manner.
