Hair Pomade: Do You Need It?

Hair Pomade: Do You Need It?

Hair pomade is a great product for adding shine and a bit of separation to a hair style.

Great for controlling frizz and even repelling humidity if you get the right product.

Don't expect any holding power with hair pomade, though.

It's essentially just a slippery coating that'll shine your hair up and tame it a bit.

If you like the effects of a pomade on your hair but want a bit of hold for more control, mix it in your palm with a liquid or strong hold gel before applying.

If you have fine hair, pomade is not the best choice. A liquid glossing product or a be better. Although you may have good results with a pomade if your fine hair is frizzy and you live in a very humid or very dry climate.

How to Use Pomade

Use these products very sparingly by emulsifying the hair pomade into your palms until it's barely there. Then skim gently over the surface of the hair, coaxing stray hairs into the natural waves where they're supposed to be.

Follow through to the ends for best definition... and don't forget about the back.
