Men's Hair Styling Pomades

Hair pomades are a versatile styling product for creating slicked-back styles and polished looks. They add shine to your strands and allow full styling control, while taming frizz and flyaways. At Humanery, we have a fine selection of hair pomades for men that range from strong hold to high-gloss formulas, from popular brands like Jack Black and Captain Fawcett.

Water vs. oil-based pomades

Hair pomades are either water-based or oil-based. Water-based hair pomades offer a more versatile finish, are easier to apply, and prevent buildup on the scalp so they are easier to wash out. Oil-based pomades are great for thicker, coarser hair types, do not dry out the strands, are water-resistant, give a more flexible hold, and require a shampoo to wash out. 

When should you use a pomade?

Pomades can create a wide range of looks, without drying out the hair like some hair sprays. From the Pompadour to faux hawks, they are a must-have and versatile styling product for any guy who likes to experiment with his look.

How should you use a pomade?

Pomades can be applied to towel-dried damp hair or wet hair, depending on the shine and hold you want to achieve.

1. The product should be warmed up in the palms of your hands for easy distribution through your strands.

2. Spread the pomade evenly through your hair

3. Comb through and style as desired.
