The Best Pomades to Keep Your Hair Styled All Day
If you’re struggling to style your hair, then it may be time to change up your routine. First and foremost, you’ll want a good pomade. Why? Pomade will give your hairstyle plenty of hold so that it won’t fall out during the day, like wax. And it won’t flake or make your hair feel hard as a rock either, like gels. It’s the best of both worlds.
It’s important, though, that you do your research first and get the right pomade for your hair type and style. Most pomades, for instance, are either oil- or water-based. Oil will give a higher shine and stronger hold, but water is easier to wash out and is better for your scalp. If you have thicker hair, then a stronger hold is what you want, but if you have finer hair, then a water-based option might do the trick.

Once you’ve found your pomade of choice, application is simple enough. Most pomades are best applied on damp, towel-dried hair. Start with a small, dime-sized amount, warm it up between your fingertips, and go to work. Start at the roots, and comb outwards. Add more if you need, but do so in small increments.
A good pomade can even be used to style your mustache or goatee. Here are four that will keep whatever hairstyle you’re rocking in place.

2. Layrite Original Pomade
Looking for a traditional barbershop-style pomade? Layrite’s got the cream for you. The brand’s pomade is water based, meaning it won’t flake, and delivers a medium-strength hold that will last all day. If you’re craving a change of pace, though, simply run your hands or a comb through water and adjust your ‘do as you see fit. Each container comes with 10.5 ounces of pomade, so you won’t need to refill anytime soon, either.
