Best pomade

As some of you might not know,pomade is a styling product which leaves your hair looking slick, neat and shiny. This greasy and waxy substance is a great alternative to other products like gel, wax, hairspray or mousse because you have a lot more control over your hair throughout the day. The main difference between them is that pomade gives the hair a slicker, shinier appearance and since it doesn’t dry, it often takes several washes to remove, although using a high-detergent shampoo or other de-greasers like olive oil and then applying warm water would easily remove it, hassle free.

Pomades used to be more popular in 20th century with the slick “rockabilly pompadour” hairstyles that icons like Elvis Presley used to rock. In the 21st century they are making somewhat of a comeback and are becoming more popular than ever due to hairstyles like the “undercut”, “pompadour”, “ducktail” and “quiff” which are very sought-after these days, and with good reason too! If you have the patience to grow out your hair, especially in the front (since it has to be longer than in the back), I assure you that the ladies won’t be able to take their eyes off of you or your hairstyle.

There are 2 main types of pomade:

Oil-Based Pomade

This is basically grease. More specifically petroleum and mineral-oil based grease. Its predominant ingredient by weight is hydrophobic which means it’s water-insoluble. Some brands also include wax-based substances although this isn’t always the case.

Pros:

– Basic ingredients without too many variation
– Relatively cheaper than water-based pomade- A 100g or 100ml jar will usually last around 2 months
– Low to high shine
