Scoop a small amount, work it between your palms, and apply to dry or slightly damp hair. Start at the back and work your way to the front, shaping as you go for the perfect slicked-back look or pompadour.
What's the difference between pomade and other hair styling products like gels and waxes?
Pomades offer a unique combination of hold and shine, perfect for sleek, well-groomed styles. Unlike gels, pomades don't harden or flake, and they provide more flexibility than waxes.
Is pomade suitable for all hair types?
Yes, pomades are suitable for a variety of hair types, with different formulations catering to specific needs. Water-based pomades are user-friendly, offering ease of styling and simple washout, ideal for most hair types including thin or fine hair. Oil-based pomades, while requiring a clarifying shampoo for removal, provide a unique styling experience; their hold and texture improve with time, making them a great choice for thick or curly hair and for those who prefer not to wash their hair daily.
How do I wash out pomade from my hair effectively?
Water-based pomades rinse out easily with water. For oil-based pomades, use a clarifying shampoo or a specific pomade removal shampoo to ensure thorough cleansing.
