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
