Pomades


Recommended Posts

this is my personal process. i do a combover w/ a pomp.

 

shower & wet hair

towel dry hair, not completely but not too damp

a scoop of either suavecito or layrite, regular hold.

rub in hands and run through hair - i do my bangs last after most of the pomade is in the rest of my hair because if i use too much in the front it because a little difficult to shape.

start shaping w/ a comb

 

now here's where i differ than most people because i have thick hair and pretty difficult calics that are hard to deal w.

i do a couple squirts of hairspray and then continue to shape w/ the comb and fine tune

 

you'd think if i just left my hair a little more damp in the beginning i might not need the hairspray but i find it more difficult to get the shape i like. the hairspray also adds some extra hold but it does become kind of like a shell, although it still washes out easily.

I have really thick hair and have a hard time finding the right pomade for my hair. I want something with a firm hold washes out easy and that will also last me awhile of usage. Anyone got any advice or preference?

 

Same here regarding think hair.  Axe Clean Cut works the best for me, as I've used it throughout the past couple of years or so.  LayRite isn't so bad, but I found that it tended to leave my hair a bit curly.

There's a Punk barber shop in my town called Black Comb, and they suggest drinking while getting your hair did and I don't trust it.

Haha, this place just gives you one drink, free shoe shine and a cigar/cigarette when you get a haircut. (Best ever, btw.)

That sounds nuts!

This place just has local craft beer and root beer for kids. Awesome place though, good music too.

$15 for a cut, shave, and style. Pretty good if you ask me.
