Both this version and the water pomade remind me of my son's Butch Wax when he was a kid. A sticky waxy product that you put in his hair to hold his flat top straight up. They appear to have that micro glitter in them or something that makes them sort of silvery. If I had time, I'd work the Slick pomade through my hair bit by bit, I think it would work great for definition and curl. But I don't, I use it for the front of my hair that tends to get very frizzy. It works for that and works to hold some lift in the front section without the use of hairspray. Be forewarned that they assume you know how to use this product as it comes with zero instructions or suggestions. The ingredients are on a little folded label stuck to the bottom and so if you're not an experienced pomade user, look it up on the internet.
