How To Use Hair Pomade Properly And Get Your Desired Results [VIDEO]

Today, I'm excited to walk you through the correct way to apply pomade to your hair. It's a simple yet crucial skill for achieving that perfect hairstyle. 

So, let's get started and dive into the steps of using pomade effectively.

What You'll Need

Starting with the right tools and products is essential for achieving that perfect hairdo with pomade. Here's what I personally use and recommend for a smooth styling experience.

  1. A Reliable Blow Dryer
    A good blow dryer is key. I prefer one with multiple settings – hot, medium, and cold. This allows me to dry my hair effectively and also engage in a bit of pre-styling. The hot setting starts the process, the medium continues it, and the cold seals it all in.
  2. The Right Pomade
    Choosing the right pomade is crucial. My go-to for this tutorial is the Suavecito Firm Hold Pomade. It offers a strong hold without being too heavy. A dime-sized amount usually does the trick for evenly distributed applications.
  3. Your Hands
    Yes, your hands! They're the best tool for applying pomade. I rub the pomade between my palms before working it through my hair. This helps in even distribution without clumping.
  4. A Brush or Comb
    A comb or brush, like my preferred Denin brush, is excellent for further distributing the pomade. It ensures that every strand gets its fair share of the product.
  5. Water (For Later Use)
    A little water is handy for reactivating the pomade later in the day. It's a quick fix for any touch-ups and helps maintain the style without having to apply more product.

Step-by-Step Process: Applying Pomade for the Perfect Hairstyle

Step 1: Pre-Drying and Pre-Styling Your Hair

I always start by thoroughly drying my hair using a blow dryer. I begin with the hot setting, switch to medium, and finish off with the cold setting to ensure all moisture is gone. 

Right after drying, I move into a bit of pre-styling using the blow dryer. This helps in shaping the hairstyle even before the pomade application.

Step 2: Choosing and Applying the Pomade

For today's styling, I'm using Suavecito firm hold pomade. I start by rubbing a dime-sized amount between my palms, then evenly distribute it through my hair.

At this stage, I focus more on ensuring even coverage rather than styling. The aim is to prepare the hair for the final look.

Step 3: Styling with Tools and Hands

After applying the pomade, I grab my preferred styling tool, like a denin brush, to spread the product more evenly. 

This helps in achieving a consistent look. Then, using my fingers, I give my hair a controlled yet slightly tousled appearance. This step adds a personal flair to the style.

Step 4: Maintenance and Washout

A great feature of this pomade is its ability to reactivate with a bit of water. For touch-ups, just dampen your hair slightly. And when the day ends, the pomade washes out effortlessly, avoiding any residue build-up.

Thank you for joining me in today's tutorial. It's been a pleasure sharing these tips and tricks. If you're on a quest for that perfect hairstyle with a lasting hold, give these techniques a try. 

I hope you find them as effective as I have. Have a fantastic hair day, and remember, the right pomade can make all the difference!

Frequently Asked Questions

No, you shouldn’t because it’s the easiest way to get pomade-related acne. A condition where the product blocks your scalp pores. Why should this concern you? Well: You’ll end up losing close to 100-200 strands of hair every day. As if that’s not enough, you may also develop dandruff and scalp irritation.
Not really. Unless you don’t mind washing the stains and greasy spots off your duvets and pillowcases every morning. It’s always best to wash pomade off or wear a stocking cap before going to bed.
There’s no general wear-time. It depends on the strength of your pomade. I suggest reading your product’s description for this. Otherwise: Most water-based pomades last 6-12hours once applied. While most oil-based ones stay on for close to 24hours or more.
