r/Pomade

Hi guys, I have thick, straight hair that often falls flat. I have a similar haircut as shown in the picture, and was looking for any hair clay recommendations that would help me recreate the messy style and volume that he has.

I currently use Shear Revival Northern Lights, but I don't feel like the hold is very good for the style I'm going for. I live in an area with strong winds, so any good product recommendations are appreciated, just looking for something not too hard to wash out. I also already use sea salt spray, though not daily.

Hi,

I've been trying to shift all of my products, including styling, towards more natural ingredients. Right now, I'm working on styling.

Currently I'm using Goldwell - And I love it. For future products I'm looking to have something with a similar feel.

The options I have are the following:

• Bon Sens Natural Hair Wax
• Less is more Kieselwax organic
• Jack Henry hair paste
• Sapiens Pommade Coiffante
• Sapiens Cire Coiffante

I'm not expert, so I'm looking for any advice here. Do you have any experience with the following? Based on the descriptions, how different to the Goldwell I'm currently using would they be?

what's up guys so I have textured hair I use based and I've been getting scammed lately by other based "made in china" does it look real I ordered it from amazon ae imported from us 4.4 stars seller esthetica .

Trying to transition from a short cut to a longer wavy look. My hair is in that "awkward stage" where it isn't heavy enough to stay back on its own. Are there any specific products or techniques that you guys use to force it to stay back? Thanks!

Quick thoughts:

The scent of this pomade is very faint. I pick up a lot on the earthy smell of the raw ingredients. The website doesn't provide any scent notes, but describes it as being sophisticated and mysterious with a hint of danger. This pomade could work well as a nearly unscented option.

It has a smooth consistency with a thickness to it, some stickiness, and is not too incredibly waxy. I could distinguish the clay very well upon breakdown, but that is not to say I felt it played much of a role in the overall finish.

It applies to damp hair with some tug and pull, but not too much. This pomade's slick aspect becomes apparent fairly quickly.

Performance: strong hold, medium shine, and a fairly slick and tight finish. It is advertised as a strong hold pomade, and this is accurate.

I can say from previous experience that this pomade indeed lasts the entire day with minimal shifting and little to no curls breaking loose. Restyling is also very easy.

Washout will require 1-2 rounds of shampoo, and it is fairly harder to wash out compared to Lox's medium hold matte clay pomade.

Overall, this serves as a go-to OB pomade for when I want to achieve a slick finish, which isn't often. The only other very slick-finish pomade I quite enjoy that comes to mind is PND’s Slick of it All. Even though these pomades don’t see as much use as others due to my usual preference for finish/style, there is no denying that when I do use them, they sure as hell deliver.

First time poster - looking for some advice

I do need a haircut (it’s been 5 weeks) but I’m surprised at how outgrown / uncontrolled my hair is at the moment - wondering if the last cut got the style wrong

Can anyone please share any tips / advice on what I need to do in terms of cut + styling to get it closer to the two example haircuts?

For reference I showed the first example picture to my barber before my last haircut, and also open to the second style. Disclaimer: I realise my hair is very straight but hoping I can get close to the example pics

I’m trying to mimic something like this look. I have decently long hair but just a little straighter hairype than his. I don’t like way too much shine tho. Any reccomendations would be highly appreciated!

I've been scouring this subreddit for a while and was looking for a product that works on wavy hair. Something that has a light hold with a matte finish since I would primarily be using it on the front of my hair to prevent my bangs from falling into my eyes.

I've seen shear revival mentioned a lot as well as o'douds. Pictures are of my hair.

Thank you!

I’m a 26 year old trans guy who plans on starting testosterone in a few months. With that being said, what kind of haircut/styling would make me look more masculine/pass as male?

I’m currently mid-growth journey and have hit the dreaded awkward phase. My hair has reached a point where it’s just poofy—not long enough to tuck behind my ears or slick back into a flow, but too long to look intentional.

​I'm looking for styling tips or product recommendations (clays, sea salt sprays, etc.) to weigh it down or give it some direction without making it look greasy. My end goal is the look in the 3rd slide. How did you guys manage the volume during this transition?

How can I achieve this look? I have thick straight hair. Traditionally I have been keeping it more of a comb over style but not pushing it back like this but still working on the length. I have previously used a clay and currently use a cheap pomade from Target. Because my hair is thick with pomade and no blow drying it can fall flat. I am thinking I’ll need something at the root to hold up like a texture powder. Since it’s so thick my hair can also lack texture at times. I’m not sure if I should look for a sea salt spray, texture powder, or a texture spray. Would the steps be: texture spray/powder, blow dry, clay to finish?

In the first two images, i really like how ny hair looks. However, i can only really achieve in on around day 4 of no shampooing, with the buildup og natural grease, and perhaps some remains of the product i use (lodestar rio) that dont get rinsed out when showering.

Third picture is the exact same styling procedure, but a day after showering. My hair just doesn't have the same volume or natural flow.

If any of you have any suggestions, please let me know.

I have coarse, 2A/B dry and frizzy hair and have tried several products, including American Crew (Whip, Grooming Cream), Hanz de Fuko (Scheme Cream), O’Douds Styling Treatment (too drying and hard to scoop), and Aveda Thickening Paste (looks good initially but leaves my hair very dry and frizzy by morning).

My routine is: conditioner, leave-in on wet hair, then a drop of argan oil at ~50% dryness, and styling products on dry hair. Applying products on damp hair hasn’t worked well—anything with wax, PVP, or petrolatum makes my hair stiff.

I’m looking for a light-to-medium hold product that enhances clumping and controls frizz without making my hair stiff. I’ve come across Shear Revival Crystal Lake, but I’m unsure if it would suit my hair. I’m based in the EU—any recommendations for products or routine improvements?
