Pomade is a hairstyling product that provides hold and shine to hair. It is typically made from a combination of wax, oil, and other ingredients, allowing for a flexible yet strong hold. Pomade is popular for creating various hairstyles, especially slicked-back looks and pompadours, and can be used on different hair types. There are two main types of pomade: water-based and oil-based. Water-based pomade is easier to wash out and offers a lighter hold, while oil-based pomade provides a stronger hold but can be more challenging to remove. Users often choose pomade based on their desired style and hair texture.
