r/Pomade

I have curly/wavy thick hair that seems to suck up pomade and dry out I want it to go tight with a medium or high shine and essentially want to slick it back and hold it straight not come loose and curly after 4 hours also i want water based

Currently use layrite max hold pomade but falls out and looks greasy and falls out I can’t just wet the hair and redo it because water makes it Afro. Once the wind hits the hold is gone

Uk based

I have quite thick and straight hair and so far tested many types of hair gel. During daily usage it works to an acceptable level but when it comes to training and running hair suddenly starts moving all over like it's not fixed at the first place.

I don't want to cut my hair short either just to make it work therefore needing help and suggestions

Thanks to everyone in advance

Best men's hair product for wavy and wet looking hairs.

Ive heard shampooing daily is extremely bad for your hair. The products I use I hear is not washable with just water and using conditioner only can lead to buildup as well?

I mainly use Gatsby Pink hairwax but have slowly stopped using that daily because I hear its not possible to remove without shampoo. Switched over to L3 Level 3 Black Texture powder but now hearing differing answers as to whether that is washable with just water. Google claims Slick Gorilla Hair Styling Powder is easy to wash out? Anyone have experience with these products and how do you wash out product without damaging your hair?

I have extremely dry hair and the moroccanoil texture clay dries it out even further.
Any clay recommendations that are similar to this product that are -

1. Easy to wash out with just water (unlike oil-based)
2. Same or stronger hold
3. Moisturizes the hair rather than drying it out even further
4. Humidity Resistant

Style: Messy side-part hairstyle
Hairtype: Dry, frizzy wavy hair

Thanks !

Hi guys,

I’m wanting to have a nice slick back, I’ve heard that sea salt first can be good to help hold? Either that or a light hold pre styler? I’ll be using it with Layrite cement

Thanks

I been testing out different styling products I have straight hair not perfectly straight. I used different products gel, wax, clay etc. I recently started texture powder and it looks so good give me some volume and styles nicely is it bad to use this daily or 2 days a week compared to a clay (my current styling products) I love the look the powder gives.

Also is there any powder people recommend the one I used was by nish man.

Hey y'all,

I ordered a new jar (jar? is that the right word? tub?) of Samson's Dead Sea Clay recently, and when I opened it this morning its consistency was very loose. Almost liquid. It's the second jartub I've bought, and the first was exactly what I'd expect out of a clay pomade. I'm not sure if this one got too hot when it was traveling through the mail, and sort of melted? Or if it's just a defective batch? The melting theory would make more sense if I'd just grabbed it from the mailbox right before using it, but it's been sitting, unopened, on my bathroom counter for more than a week. So unless it simply doesn't return to its original consistency after heating up, I can't imagine that's the culprit. Regardless, I do find myself wondering if throwing it in the refrigerator for a bit might help. Anyone know much about this sort of thing? I was going to reach out directly to Samson's, but near as I can tell there's no way to contact them. (Which is fine, I get the impression they're an extremely small outfit.)

I have very thick hair, that gets greasy easily if I use too much product. I need a good holding/ styling product or something I can use in the morning to make my flatter hair better.

I have used wax but that was too heavy, I use sea salt spray but it doesn't do much, and I've tried volume foam but it doesn't do much too and it makes my hair greasy.

I've heard cream is good for holding and you apply it on damp hair so that would be easier, or powder is good for quickly adding volume? I think adding stuff on as my hair is wet would be better as it wouldn't make my hair look greasy. I want a matt finish and not shiny. If anyone could suggest any products or brands that would be great! Im a beginner and in struggling to find the right ones.

Preferably off Amazon as in going away on Friday. I have seen got2b beach matte paste? Or got2b volume powder? Preferably something not too expensive because im a student and if it doesn't work then I can't do anything else with it.

I am trying to get a flow middle part hairstyle that stays like that as my hair is so thick and heavy it just flops down. I've had it thinned slightly but now it's gone even more floppy because there's not enough hair under it to lift it better. The whole left side of my hair sits completely different to my right no matter my hairstyle too.

I've found that when I use holding spray, even when it's been a day, I go to sleep a and wake up and my hair is standing straight up and won't go down unless I dampen it.
