Non-greasy holding pomade

[Miss AJ]

Any recommendations?? I plan on keeping my hair blown out/stretched and bunning. The gel I currently use is great (Eco Styler Argan oil) but I'd like to keep my hair semi-straight and the Eco makes it wave up. I've tried Motions Shine Enhancing pomade before but it's soooooo greasy and has a weird smell.

I use Elasta QP Curling Wax. It's not water-based so nothing should wave up, but it is pretty heavy. If I add it while I'm flat-ironing (add to each piece), it weighs it down, but in a good way to give whatever piecey effect I want. But if I flat-iron, then add a little (rub a bit between my hands and add) my hair still keeps alot of movement. I use it too to lay down my edges and sideburns once they're straight.

I really like KBB Butter Love. Whenever I want to wear stretched braids or twists, I use this. Keeps it moisturized and eliminates frizz.
