Pomade

How to apply

• As a general rule of thumb, always apply in relatively small scoops and use as many as needed rather than using a couple of very large scoops. This will help ensure the product is distributed evenly through the hair. (source)

• As far as damp vs dry vs wet, start by applying to towel dried hair and experimenting for yourself. (source)

• Straight/thin hair can be styled dry. (source)

• With regard to how much to use

  • Push your comfort zone and see what you like. (source)

UWB

• Supposedly the cool new type of pomade

• “Think of Shear Revival Crystal Lake and O'Douds Water Based Pomade when thinking about Unorthodox Water Based Pomades.”

• Like oil based, but easier to wash out

Notes

• everyone hates Suavecito

• Murray’s and Reuzel recommended a few times

• Some sites saying don’t use it everyday

  • I think these sites are assuming I’m using a ton of it, which I don’t

• Multiple sites / users saying petroleum-based is bad

  • Could lead to hair loss

• UWB - Unorthodox Waterbased Pomade

• OWB - Orthodox Waterbased Pomade

• Oil based pomades can lead to “scalp acne”, where you get pimples
