The guide below breaks down all our hair pomades' unique functionalities and includes pro tips to make sure your hair is ready for any occasion.

Clay Pomade

Matte-finish styling clay separates, defines and moulds hair in place to deliver a strong, pliable hold all day.

PRO TIP: Great for straight hair. Maximize the matte finish by using a blow dryer. Place on hand first and emulsify before applying to hair – this will help to have a smooth application.

Cream Pomade

Light hold, moisture-rich styling cream softens and smooths hair while providing frizz-free definition and enhanced shine.

PRO TIP: Great for wavy/curly hair. Best paired with Clay Pomade for a volumized textured look – recommended for thick hair.

Hard Cream Pomade

Lightweight, moisture-rich styling paste provides strong hold for hours without weighing hair down, with a natural, low-shine finish.

PRO TIP: Great for all hair types. Create volume or straighten a curl. If you have a cowlick – this product will be your best friend.

Hard Water Pomade

Firm-hold, water-based styling formula provides dimension, textured separation and sleek all-day control without stiffness.

PRO TIP: Great for thick/coarse hair and curly hair. Perfect for the “Gel” styled look.

Soft Water Pomade

Light-to-medium hold, water-based styling formula spreads easily through hair to deliver textured separation and natural, non-greasy shine.

PRO TIP: Great for finer hair that wants light shine. Also works well on wavy hair. Apply at the roots of your hair to give hair volume, while mixing with another pomade to style the rest of hair.
