Hair care and styling

How do you use a pomade?

It is best to apply your hair gel, pomade or pomade to towel-dried hair. Rub a small amount between the palms of your hands. Distribute and process evenly and thoroughly. If necessary, use a comb to further distribute it evenly. And then style your hair.

Which pomade should you buy?

There are water-based and oil-based pomades. A water-based pomade is easy to apply and dries quickly. Your haircut will remain in perfect shape all day long. A pomade with a greasy oil or wax base will not dry in the hair. This allows you to re-style your hairstyle throughout the day. An oil-based pomade is more difficult to wash out than a water-based hair product. Use special shampoos to properly clean the hair. If you have thin hair, use an extra or heavy hold hair gel. Regular or medium hold is suitable for normal to thicker hair. An extra shine pomade is ideal for extra shiny hair. A shine product provides a wet look hairstyle. A Clay and Fiber pomade provide a matte or casual look. For each hair care product, the degree of firmness or hold and shine or shine is stated: from medium to maximum firmness and from light, medium to maximum shine.

Pomade hair clay

The hair clay has a firm and thick consistency. You must first rub this pomade well between your fingertips to make it easy to handle. The clay pomade gives volume because of the fine clay in the composition. Use a clay pomade for a natural and matte finish or for a messy look.

Matte paste pomade

With a matte paste pomade you can style your hair without giving your hair shine. Matte pomades have a paste-like composition. The formula feels slightly drier compared to a traditional pomade. These pomades have a medium hold and are perfect for a looser or more casual look.

Spray gels

There are also spray gels in handy pump bottles. Easy to apply and distribute. Spray a small amount of spray gel into your hair. Then distribute the tonic by combing well.

Hair tonics

Classic 'old-school' hair tonics provide an invigorating and fresh feeling on the scalp and easy-to-comb hair. A tonic also provides more shine in the hair. A tonic with oil is suitable for dry scalp. Do you have an oily scalp? Then use a hair tonic without oil. Place a small amount of tonic in the palm of your hand, rub your palms together and work it into towel-dried or damp hair. Comb your hair well to distribute the tonic. And then style your hair.
