How To Use
Primary use (on damp hair):

Dispense appropriate amount: 1 pump for short/fine hair; 1‑2 pumps for medium‑length hair; 2‑3 pumps for thick, curly or long hair.
Rub product between palms. Apply evenly to mid‑lengths and ends of hair, avoid direct contact with roots.

Air‑dry or proceed with heat‑styling as usual.
Secondary use (on dry hair):
For mid‑day refresh, take a tiny quantity, rub in palms and smooth over dry ends to ease frizz.
Who This Is For
Our Brand Story
Born in California, BASED (Based Bodyworks) grew out of a real‑world grooming pain point.
While creating men’s hair‑care educational content online, our founder noticed a clear gap in the market. Many existing men’s products forced users to choose: strong styling performance with harsh ingredients, or gentle formulas that deliver unsatisfying results. Young men wanted better options that work well without compromising scalp health.
What started as a small‑batch run of only 100 units out of a garage grew into the BASED you know today. The name BASED stands for grounded truth and no‑compromise values — not chasing marketing trends, but building products for how men actually live, sweat, shower and style their hair.
We hold two core commitments.
Performance without compromise: every formula is developed in‑house, built to deliver reliable results for wavy, curly, coily and dry damaged hair.
Clean formulation without compromise: we avoid parabens, silicones, phthalates and unnecessary additives. Full‑ingredient transparency means every ingredient serves a clear purpose, nothing is hiddenBased Body.
