Pomade is the most popular product used by men to style their Hair. Unfortunately, we often see and hear that men go wrong when using their Pomade, which means they can't get the most out of it. Applying a Pomade is different from applying a Hair Wax, Hair Clay or Hair Gel. Therefore, it is important to master how to properly use a Pomade. That's why we've put the ins and outs on paper for you. Let's go.
Choose the right Pomade
Okay: which Pomade to use.. It all starts with browsing through the online shelves. You end up in a maze of different Pomades that all make beautiful promises. How on earth do you choose from that? Well, it all starts with a bit of knowledge. Research beforehand which Pomade is best for your Hair Type. This way, you can choose Pomade for long Hair, medium-length Hair, or short Hair. Also, decide whether you want a matte or shiny finish. You also need to consider whether you want to go for a Water-Based Pomade or a Oil-Based Pomade. When you use an oil-based Pomade, keep in mind that it will be a lot harder to wash out of your Hair.
The better the product suits your preferences, the more satisfied you will be with your Pomade. Still not entirely sure? Then you have a bunch of Pomade-loving internet friends who are happy to help you with that! (I'm talking about About Us, the Alpha team, in case the hint wasn't clear).
Applying Pomade
You have the right Pomade for hair at home, read many good Reviews, and now it's really time for the trial by fire. You can start yourself. But how do I apply a Pomade in the right way? To make it as easy as possible for you, we have set up some steps.
Step 1: Ensure towel-dry Hair
When your Hair is towel-dry, the Pomade will work better for your Hair. If it's too wet, you get a kind of wet look, which is also nice of course, but you need to choose that consciously. When your Hair is towel-dry, it's easier to model and stays in place longer the way you want it.
Step 2: Warm and distribute the Pomade in your Hands
And now the step where many men go wrong. A Pomade is not a Hair Wax. It's not that you grab a dab of Pomade with your fingers and smear it directly into your Hair. No, you apply it with your palms. Therefore, take a small dab of Pomade (not too much!), put it on your palms, and then rub them together. You need to do this so the Pomade becomes warm due to the friction between your palms. Additionally, it is ideal for distributing the Pomade in your Hair.
Step 3: Applying Pomade in your Hair
Never start at the front. It works best if you work from the sides inward. If you start at the front, you get the most product there, and it will be visible. Always start at your scalp and work it down into your Hair. Actually, you apply it as if you are washing your Hair with Shampoo , start at the crown and work your way forward. And of course, don't forget to include the back in this process!
Step 4: The Styling of your hairstyle with a comb
Men's claws are not subtle, and the outcome of styling with your Hands will therefore not be subtle either. If you want to go for a slightly more subtle look, we recommend Combs your Hair with a comb. Your look will immediately become much more refined.
Washing out a Pomade
Is washing out a Pomade easy? Well, it completely depends on whether you have chosen a water-based Pomade or an oil-based Pomade. A water-based Pomade can be washed out of your Hair effortlessly, as you simply do this with warm water (and often a little Shampoo). If you want to wash out a strong oil-based Pomade from your Hair, you need to come with some heavier artillery. Special products have been developed for Pomade or oil-based, which make this easier, such as a clarifying Shampoo or Scrub Shampoo. If you want to wash it out with a regular Shampoo, then you need to use Shampoo at least twice and thoroughly scrub your scalp and Hair.
