Pomade is an essential tool in a man's bathroom cabinet. This hair product has helped fashion-conscious individuals hold, shape, heighten and shine their hair for decades. It's versatile and it only takes small dabs to have a dramatic effect on your hair.
Holds Hair in Place
Pomade is used to shape hair and hold it in place. A little of this wax or paste goes a long way. It is applied to your hair as the hair is shaped into the desired style. It stiffens the hair and holds it in place.
Provides Texture
According to Hair Styles Chat, pomade creates texture in shorter hair cuts while holding the style in place. In longer hair styles, pomade smooths the texture on the crown of the head and keeps the ends of the hair together.
Creates Shine
Pomade creates a sheen for a slicked-back look that was popular in the 1960's and is popular again due to shows like "Mad Men." A small amount of pomade can be used to create a minimal shine. A larger amount creates a slick, wet look. Be careful not to use so much that your hair looks greasy.
Provides Height
The holding strength of pomade lets you shape your hair into spikes or chunks. HairStyle.com recommends putting a little bit of pomade on your fingers and sculpting the hair into place. You should only need a small amount to get the height that your style calls for.
