Pomade is a styling product used primarily for hair. It typically has a waxy or greasy texture, allowing for a strong hold and a shiny finish. Pomade can be made from various ingredients, including petroleum, beeswax, and oils, and is suitable for different hair types and styles, from slicked-back looks to textured waves. There are two main types of pomade: water-based and oil-based. Water-based pomade is easier to wash out and provides a lighter hold, while oil-based pomade offers a stronger hold but can be more challenging to remove. Users often choose pomade for its versatility and ability to create polished hairstyles.
