CHOOSING THE RIGHT POMADE FOR YOUR HAIRSTYLE
October 21, 2022
Pomade is a men’s hair styling aid that is used to create sleek and refined hairstyles such as the pompadour and slick back. Unlike hairspray or hair gel, pomade does not dry out and it retains that supple, sleek and shiny appearance without being rigid. Pomade is versatile and there are many different variants. In today’s article we will break down which pomade to use to create which hairstyles.
Slicked And Shiny Hairstyles
To create those ‘Greaser Hairstyles’ like pompadours and slick backs we recommend the use of Uppercut Deluxe Pomade or Monster Hold. The pomade is water based, offers a high shine, high hold, sets firm and easily washes out with water. The monster hold is a more traditional wax based pomade so it offers the high shine and hold but stays soft for restyling during the day. This stuff is extra powerful and sweat resistant so it’s great for summer and for creating bolder styles that require extra hold.
Formed With A Natural Finish
To create those side parts and well formed hairstyles but to have a natural finish instead of the high shine, we recommend Layrite Natural matte Cream. This stuff builds texture and volume in the hair without weighing it down. It won't harden, meaning it can be reworked throughout the day and will rinse out easily.
Messy And Textured Hairstyles
To achieve more unfinished or undone looks we recommend the use of Baxter Of California Clay Pomade. This stuff is fantastic for looser, texturised hairstyles. It is infused with naturally-derived ingredients such as clay and beeswax and it delivers a strong, yet pliable hold. The formulation provides epic texture and zero shine for a natural finish that won't sweat out.
