Choosing the right pomade for your hair type can be a little tricky.
Your hair says an awful lot about you. If you get the wrong pomade for your hair it can have a big impact on your look.
You need to choose the right product for you depending on whether your hair is natural, dyed, thick, thin, curly or straight.
In this post, we’re looking at the best pomades for natural-looking hair.
If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably tried every product under the sun.
You might not have found ‘the one’ that gives you the perfect hold, finish and shine. You also want something that’s easy to apply and wash out.
That might seem like a lot to ask for from just one product, but I’ve sampled enough pomades to narrow it down to the three best ones out there.
These products all help you achieve that ‘natural’ look, and will hold it in place all day long…
What Is A Pomade And How Is It Applied?
Everyone wants to look their best, and a big part of your look is your hair!
Hair products for men aren’t exactly a new thing.
With the ever-growing number styling and nourishing products available, it’s important to know whether you’re looking for a wax, cream, paste or oil based product.
Pomades for natural hair, in short, are used to highlight your hair in a neatly styled, sleek manner. They should give you a subtly shiny finish.
What makes pomades stand out is that in comparison to other products is that most gels and waxes will leave your hair quite dry, hard and crunchy.
On the other hand, pomades are great for hydrating hair. They keep a tight hold without it looking wet, especially useful if your hair is a little on the dry side.
Peter Brandt is one celebrity that loves the pomade look, sporting hair that’s always soft but not crunchy.
Think of it this way, they work best on hairstyles you would use a comb to achieve.
