What is Pomade? Pomade is a waxy or oil-based hair styling product that has been a staple in men's grooming for decades. It offers a medium to strong hold and comes in both shiny and matte finish once “dried”. Unlike gel, which can leave your hair feeling stiff and crunchy, pomade provides a more pliable hold that allows you to restyle your hair throughout the day. Don’t like the way morning you styled your hair? That’s an easy fix for afternoon you with a pomade product.
Why Use Pomade? Pomade is an excellent choice for those going for a classic, timeless hairstyle. It provides a medium to strong hold that lasts throughout the day, allowing you to maintain your desired look. This styling product adds shine and texture to your hair, giving it a polished, put-together appearance.
Start with damp, towel-dried hair. This helps the pomade distribute evenly. Next add a small amount of the product. Depending on hair length and thickness, a dime to nickel-sized amount should work. Rub it between your palms to warm it up. Next start from your roots and work your way to the ends of your hair. Be sure to distribute it evenly. Some people prefer to use a comb to help them style, some just use their hands. Do what works best for you and the style you’re going for. If you want a stronger hold, use more pomade or a blow dryer to help it set. Here is a short list of hairstyles that work best with pomade.
Slick back - Comb your hair back for a sleek, sophisticated look.
Side part - Create a deep side part and comb your hair to the side for a classic, refined style.
Pompadour - Sweep your hair up and back for a voluminous, retro-inspired look.
Quiff - Similar to a pompadour, but with more volume at the front and shorter sides.
Textured crop - Use pomade to add texture and definition to shorter hairstyles.
