# 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.

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

* Straight/thin hair can be styled dry. ([source](https://www.reddit.com/r/Pomade/wiki/index#:~:text=straight%2Fthin%20hair%20can%20be%20styled%20dry.))
* With regard to **how much to use**
  * Push your comfort zone and see what you like. ([source](https://www.reddit.com/r/Pomade/wiki/index#:~:text=push%20your%20comfort%20zone%20and%20see%20what%20you%20like.))

## 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
