Murrays Pomade NZ | Official Stockist | Zilion
Murrays in New Zealand
Murrays is one of the old names in barbering. The brand has been making pomade and hair dressing since 1925, and its flat tins of Original, Superlight and Nu Nile are still a fixture on barbershop shelves. The formulas are traditional: rich, glossy and built to hold a shape, condition dry hair and add shine, particularly on textured, coarse and curly hair.
Zilion is an official NZ stockist of Murrays. We carry the full core line-up of 10 products, from the 32g pocket tin to the 354g Cocosoft tubs, plus a twin pack of every one. If you have been hunting for a Murrays stockist in New Zealand that keeps the classic tins in stock, you will find them all here in NZ dollars.
About Murrays
Murrays makes a small, focused range, and that is a large part of its appeal. There are no seasonal reformulations or long product families to work through. Each product does one job and has done it the same way for decades: a firm-hold pomade, a lighter conditioning pomade, a high-shine dressing, a beeswax for locs and braids, and coconut oil hair dressings for moisture.
The products fall into two groups. The pomades and dressings (Original, Superlight, Nu Nile and Hair Glo) come in 85g tins and are made for styling, shine and control. The hair oils and conditioners (Beeswax, Black Beeswax and the three Cocosoft tubs) focus on moisture and hold for textured hair, braids, twists and dreadlocks. Beeswax and Black Beeswax come in 100g jars, and the Cocosoft range comes in large 354g tubs that last for months.
These are traditional, oil-and-wax based formulas rather than modern water-based styling products. That is exactly why barbers like them for slick-backs, side parts, waves and defined curls, and why people with dry, textured hair use them to seal in moisture. It also means they take a little more effort to wash out, which we cover in the FAQs below.
The Murrays Range
Murrays Hair Styling holds the pomades, dressings and waxes. Original is the firm-hold classic for control and shine. Superlight is a lighter, conditioning pomade with a gentler hold for everyday grooming. Nu Nile is a glossy hair dressing with light control, and Hair Glo adds shine and moisture with a soft hold. Beeswax and Black Beeswax give strong hold and definition for braids, twists and locs, with the black version made to blend with darker hair.
Murrays Hair Oils is home to the Cocosoft range. Each 354g tub is a coconut oil hair dressing that conditions, softens and controls frizz with a light hold. Choose Cocosoft Coconut Oil White for lighter hair tones, Cocosoft Conditioner Blue for a conditioning finish that suits darker hair, or Cocosoft Bergamot Green for the fresh scent of bergamot alongside the coconut oil.
Twin packs. Every Murrays product is also sold as a twin pack, two full-size units at 2% less than buying two singles. They suit barbers restocking a station and anyone who likes to keep a spare tin in the drawer, and they sit alongside our wider Men's Twin Packs collection.

Benefits of Murrays
- Proper hold for classic styles. Original keeps slick-backs, side parts and pompadours in place, and it can be restyled through the day with a comb.
- Shine without hairspray. Every Murrays pomade and dressing gives a natural gloss, from the soft sheen of Superlight to the high shine of Hair Glo.
- Moisture for dry, textured hair. The oil and wax bases help seal moisture into coarse and curly hair and calm frizz and flyaways.
- Made for braids, twists and locs. Beeswax and Black Beeswax hold and define protective styles without flaking.
- A little goes a long way. You only need a fingertip of product, so an 85g tin or a 354g Cocosoft tub lasts a long time.
- Easy on the wallet. Prices run from $8.90 for the 32g tin to $19.25 for a 354g tub, and twin packs bring the cost down further.
- A choice of hold and weight. Firm (Original), medium-light (Superlight, Nu Nile, Hair Glo), strong for textured styling (Beeswax) and light conditioning hold (Cocosoft).
How to Choose the Right Murrays Product
For the firmest hold: choose Original. It is the one for structured barber styles, waves and hair that will not stay where you put it.
For softer control: Superlight gives a lighter feel and gentler hold, and is easier to work through finer or straighter hair.
For maximum shine: Hair Glo and Nu Nile are dressings first and stylers second. Use them to add gloss and softness to dry hair, with light control.
For braids, twists and dreadlocks: Beeswax gives strong hold and helps seal in moisture. Pick Black Beeswax if you have darker hair and want the product to blend in.
For daily moisture: the Cocosoft range is the conditioning choice. White suits lighter hair tones, Blue and Bergamot Green blend with darker hair, and Bergamot Green adds a fresher scent.
To try before you commit: start with Original Small 32g, then move up to the 85g tin or a twin pack once you know you like it.

Which Murrays product has the strongest hold?
Original gives the firmest hold of the pomades. For braids, twists and locs, Beeswax and Black Beeswax provide strong hold for textured styling.
Which Murrays product gives the most shine?
Hair Glo and Nu Nile are shine dressings first, so they give the glossiest finish. Original and Superlight also leave a natural shine.
Is Murrays good for curly or textured hair?
Yes. Most of the range is designed with textured, coarse and curly hair in mind, and the oil-based formulas help keep that hair moisturised and defined.
Can I use Murrays on straight hair?
Yes. Original is listed as suitable for all hair types. On fine or straight hair start with a very small amount, or choose Superlight for a lighter feel.
Is Murrays pomade water-based?
No. Murrays makes traditional oil and wax based pomades and dressings. They hold and shine well and can be restyled through the day, but they do not rinse out as easily as water-based products.
How do I wash Murrays pomade out of my hair?
Oil-based pomade does not rinse out with water alone. Work shampoo into dry or barely damp hair first, then add water and rinse, and wash twice if needed.
Can I use Murrays for waves?
Yes. Barbers often use Original or Superlight with a brush and a durag to set and hold waves, and the shine dressings add gloss to the finish.
Is Murrays good for beards?
Murrays is made for the hair on your head. For beards we recommend a dedicated beard oil or balm from our Beard Care collection.
Do Murrays products flake?
The product descriptions note that Original and the beeswax formulas hold without flaking. Using a small amount and working it in evenly helps.
Can women use Murrays?
Yes. Murrays is used by everyone, particularly for braids, twists, edges and moisturising textured hair.
How do I apply Murrays pomade?
Scoop a small amount with a fingertip, warm it between your palms and work it through clean hair from roots to ends. Then comb or brush into shape and add more only if you need it.
Should I apply Murrays to wet or dry hair?
Murrays can go on clean, dry or slightly damp hair. Damp hair gives a softer, easier spread; dry hair gives the firmest result.
How much Murrays pomade should I use?
Start with an amount about the size of a pea. These are concentrated formulas, and too much can leave hair heavy and harder to wash out.
How do I use Murrays Beeswax on locs or twists?
Apply a small amount to clean, dry hair and work it through the section you are twisting or palm rolling. It helps hold the shape and keeps frizz down while the style sets.
How do I use Cocosoft as a moisturiser?
Rub a small amount between your hands and smooth it over the lengths and ends, or apply it to the scalp in sections if your scalp feels dry. It adds shine and light hold at the same time.
Can I mix Murrays products?
Yes. Some people use a Cocosoft tub for daily moisture and a firmer pomade such as Original for styling, or add a little Hair Glo on top for extra shine.
How long does a tin of Murrays last?
It depends on your hair and how much you use, but because you only need a fingertip each time, an 85g tin lasts most people a good while. The 354g Cocosoft tubs last even longer.
Does Murrays pomade melt in warm weather?
Oil and wax pomades soften in heat. Keep the tin out of direct sun and away from hot cars, and it will firm up again once it cools.
Which Murrays should I choose for a slick-back?
Original is the usual choice for a slick-back or pompadour that holds all day. Choose Superlight if you prefer a softer finish.
Which Murrays should I choose for dry hair?
Hair Glo, Nu Nile and the Cocosoft range focus on moisture and shine. Cocosoft gives the most conditioning, with light hold.
Which Murrays is best for darker hair?
Black Beeswax is made to blend with darker hair tones, and the Cocosoft Conditioner Blue and Bergamot Green formulas are also described as blending well with darker hair.
Which Murrays is best for lighter hair?
Cocosoft Coconut Oil White is a white formula that suits lighter hair tones.
