How to Pomade Men's Hair
Pomade is a styling product that can be used on all hair types, but it works especially well for men's hair. Pomade can be used to create a variety of hairstyles, from slicked-back to messy and textured. It's a versatile product that's easy to use, but there are a few things you need to know to get the best results.
What You'll Need
Before you start, you'll need to make sure you have the right tools and products:
- Pomade
- Comb or brush
- Hair dryer (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these steps to apply pomade to your hair:
Step 1: Wash Your Hair
Start with clean, dry hair. Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner, and then towel-dry it until it's damp.
Step 2: Apply Pomade
Scoop a small amount of pomade (about a dime-sized amount) onto your fingertips. Rub your hands together to warm up the pomade and spread it evenly throughout your hair.
Step 3: Comb Your Hair
Using a comb or brush, work the pomade through your hair, making sure to distribute it evenly. If you want a slicked-back look, comb your hair straight back. For a more textured look, comb your hair in the direction you want it to go.
Step 4: Style Your Hair
Once your hair is combed the way you want it, use your hands to style it into your desired shape. You can use a hair dryer on a low setting to help set the pomade and add more volume to your hair.
Step 5: Finish with Hairspray (Optional)
If you want your hairstyle to last all day, finish off with a light mist of hairspray. This will help keep your hair in place and prevent it from frizzing.
Tips for Using Pomade
Here are a few tips to help you get the most out of your pomade:
- Start with a small amount of pomade and add more as needed.
- Don't apply pomade to wet hair, or it won't distribute evenly.
- If you have thick or curly hair, use a stronger hold pomade.
- If you have fine or thin hair, use a lighter hold pomade.
- Experiment with different hairstyles to find the one that works best for you.
FAQs
How often should I use pomade?
You can use pomade every day if you want, but it's best to use it sparingly. Using too much pomade can weigh down your hair and make it look greasy.
