Due to the difficulty of washing pomade out of the hair, water-based and water-soluble pomades were introduced to the market and feature fewer wax substances. If the hair is long enough to slick back or to the side, it’s most likely long enough to benefit from the use of an oil-based pomade like this one. The Reddit community is an interactive space where members of the community can ask about other users opinions on certain pomades. This may be what you’re after, but it means you can’t simply run your fingers through your hair without ‘undoing’ some of the water-based pomades work. I wanted to round things off by going through some frequently asked questions on Murray’s Superior Hair Dressing Pomade.These products are more easily washable but often do not give the same versatility, shine, and strength of hold offered by the traditional petrolatum-based products.

Traditionally, the difference between hair wax and pomade was that pomade gave the hair a slicker, shinier appearance, while wax gave a looser, more texturized and matte finish. Plus, in warm weather, you can expect it to melt a little and provide a weaker hold than in the colder months. Upon that, we found the Suavecito Pomade Original and Seven Potions to be the best pomades for men with any hair type.

I am a fan of all things Japanese, but especially the country's take on Americana clothing, from early workwear to mid-century sportswear and beyond. Build-up” is a great way to ensure you’ve always got a bit of residual pomade in your hair for restyling.It’s important to note that men will have different experiences using it based on their specific hair type. Hair clay on the other hand, gives you a matt to low shine hairstyle and it also adds volume to thinner hair. Up to the 1960s, archive images of actors, musicians, and celebrities showcased pomade-powered hairdos that range from tight, neat slicks to wild pompadours. None of these are particularly convenient or healthy options, so I would suggest you stick to water-based pomades. You don’t have to, but making the side parting obvious and defined is a great way to make things pop.
