Hair Pomades to Work Thick, Long and Curly Hair Just Fine

Some may think having a head of thick hair is a blessing, but those that actually have it know it can sometimes be more of a burden. Thick hair is notoriously difficult to manage. It’s not uncommon to spend 10 minutes applying a styling product so it looks perfect, only to glimpse in the mirror 30 minutes later to see it looking nothing like it did before. This is why it’s important to choose the right product if you want your style to last all day. Hair pomades are the perfect combination between a wax and a gel, with the firm hold of a wax, that’s easily washed out like a gel. Here are 9 of the best hair pomades for thick hair.

AXE Clean Cut Look, Classic Pomade

Find Lowest Price

Axe’s Classic Pomade gives you control over your hair style, without leaving it feeling hard and crusty. It’s a very thick paste, and you only need a small amount to style your whole head, making it good value as it will last such a long time. It’s formulated for stubborn, unruly hair that tends to do its own thing so can style your thick hair and keep it there. It’s also a water-based pomade, so washes out easily leaving no residue behind.

Jovinno Premium Natural Hair Styling Pomade

Find Lowest Price

Jovinno is a French hair care brand specialising in premium, natural hair products for men. The packaging for this one is luxurious, so isn’t one that needs to be hidden out of sight in the bathroom cabinet. Unlike any of the others on this list, this pomade is made from only natural ingredients and has no chemicals. It has a medium/hard hold, so will keep thick hair in place and it is water-soluble so washes out with no hassle. As well as being a styling product, the Jovinno pomade contains ingredients to nourish your hair at the same time, making it a good treatment pomade as well.

Imperial Barber Blacktop Pomade Strong hold

Find Lowest Price

Imperial’s blacktop pomade claims to be ‘industrial strength’ (for industrial hair? I don’t know) and claims to be ‘the strongest water-based pomade in America’. Unfortunately for all you fair haired types, the ‘strongest water-based pomade in America’ has a black tint, so you can’t experience the phenomenon without your hair looking really dirty. It has a matte finish, so doesn’t leave your hair looking like an oil slick. This pomade is great but for a very specific type of hair. If you have black hair, that’s thick or curly with a couple of greys to cover, it’s perfect for you. Black or dark brown hair with no greys, good but the black tint is a bit useless and a bit of a scalp-staining hazard. Anyone else, it’s a bit useless.

Smooth Viking Best Hair Pomade for Men

Find Lowest Price

If we were to describe the Vikings, ‘smooth’ is one of the last adjectives we think we would use. Nevertheless Smooth Viking’s pomade provides a high shine but non-greasy finish, but still rinses out easily as it is water based. It doesn’t leave the hair stiff and crispy, so your hair looks soft but your style lasts all day. If the Vikings wanted tame hair for a pillaging, we are sure they’d have used a pomade like this (what?).

Uppercut Deluxe Pomade

Find Lowest Price

Uppercut’s range of hair care products are developed by barbers with an excellent understanding of the needs of men when it comes to hair styling. Their pomade has a gel-like consistency, so it is thinner and lighter than other pomades while still giving the same hold. It has a medium shine finish, so a nice compromise between a matte finish, which can leave your hair a little one dimensional, and high shine which can look a little greasy. It’s scented with coconut and vanilla so fairly inoffensive and not too overpowering. Again, water-based so easily rinsed out.

American Crew POMADE FOR HOLD AND SHINE

Find Lowest Price

We don’t know what it is with funny pomade descriptions, but this particular one is recommended for ‘romantic wear’. We have no idea what that means, answers on a postcard. Anyway it can be applied to wet hair, so you can work it in easily and get a softer hold, or dry hair, so it’s a bit more difficult to distribute but gives a stronger hold. It is another high shine finish pomade, but is not water-based so although slightly more awkward to rinse out, your style should survive the rain. Interestingly it’s scented like most other pomades, but its scent comes from natural ingredients, so if you’re put off by overpowering, synthetic scents, this is a great choice for you.

Baxter of California Clay Pomade

Find Lowest Price

Baxter of California create premium men’s hair care products that have a bit of a cult following. The packaging isn’t what you would typically expect a hair pomade or wax to come in, and has a slightly more classy appearance than others on the list. It’s clay based, although cream and water-based pomades are also available, all of which can be mixed to create a pomade which perfectly matches your styling needs which is an interesting concept, but also one which means you have to buy three products instead of one. It can give either a matte or shiny finish depending on whether you apply it to dry or damp hair, providing more flexibility than other pomades.

Layrite Super hold Pomade

Find Lowest Price

Layrite super hold pomade was formulated especially as an alternative to hair wax, so a choice is no longer needed to be made between using a product which you can actually wash out but doesn’t hold, and one that you can wash out but might as well not be there in the first place. The product remains pliable in the hair giving a flexible hold even on curly hair, so it doesn’t look stiff or leave any unsightly flakes. It also allows you to restyle hours later without having to apply more product. We can’t quite make out what is happening in the picture on the packaging, but we are not sure we want to.

Cock Grease XXX Water Based Pomade

Find Lowest Price

Warning: the following description contains lots of quotation marks and innuendo. Extra Hard Cock Grease is a water-based pomade which provides an ‘extra hard’ finish to the hair, rather than a soft, flexible finish. It gives long lasting hold to the hair, and ‘keeps it up all day and night’. Also available in the range is ‘Extra Stiff Cock Grease’ and ‘Special Hard Pineapple Flavour Cock Grease’. Seriously, though, the reviews are pretty good.

This is not definitive but will, hopefully, help you in making the right choice. Here is a look at some of the considerations that you need to keep in mind when shopping for the best hair pomades for thick hair:-

The length of hair: There are certain hair pomades for thick hair that will have a strong hold on your hair while others have a low hold or even medium hold. Low hold pomades are suited for shorter hair but if you have longer hair, choose pomades with a medium or stronger hold.

Type of your hair:- Hair is as varied as humanity itself ranging from the kinky to curly, wavy or straight hair. The type of hair will have a direct impact on the hair style you will choose and it is important to ensure you have a hair pomade product that is uniquely suited for your hair type or texture.

What is hair pomade?

Unfortunately, due to the presence of so many hair products in the market today, many people, particularly the younger generation do not know what hair pomade is. It is simply a type of gel that was most probably used by your grandparents or great grandparents, if you are a millennial, or by your parents and grandparents, if you are in your 40s or 50s. Its primary function is to shape hair nicely and also add a nice shine to it. Mostly, hair pomade for thick hair is made mainly from Vaseline but it can also include other ingredients like coconut oil or even aloe vera.  Other products commonly used in pomade include beeswax. The use of microcrystalline wax in pomade improves its consistency making pomade-style hair stiffer.

Why Should I Use Hair Pomades for Thick Hair Instead of the Common Hair Gels in the Market?

Hair gels are commonly used today in styling and shaping thick hair but the main disadvantage that they have is that they dry out quickly. On the other hand, hair pomade will not dry out. It remains there until you wash it out and it will require several washes before you completely get rid of it from hour hair. There are specialty shampoos that you will use for this purpose.

Trivia: Before the advent of the gels in hair shaping and styling, hair pomade was the leading hair styling product in the decades from the 20s to the 50s. They were used by the great stars of the time including leading Hollywood stars. For some reasons, perhaps due to their advantages or out of nostalgia, hair pomade has been seeing a kind of revival with many people preferring them to the modern styling products. Apart from the fact that it is really good at styling and shaping your hair and makes your hair really shine, it will also prevent the dryness in the hair and will prevent the split ends on your hair.

How Often Should I Use Hair Pomade?

If you are just starting out, you can use the hair pomades for thick hair at least once or twice a day. However, if you have achieved the desired shade for your hair, you can resort to using them twice or thrice every week. This will help in maintaining the colour of new hair growth.

What hairstyles are best suited for hair pomade use?

Generally, hair pomades for thick hair can be used on all long and medium-length hair styles. If you want to have some of the hairstyles of the 20s to 50s, then you will best achieve these with pomade for thick hair. This is the case, for example, if you are looking to create a smooth and lustrous hair style. There are certain modern and fashionable hairstyles that are not easily shaped with a gel. For these, you will also need hair pomade. Pomade is also the best choice if you want to tame and shape very thick hair. The hair pomades we have reviewed, for example, are really perfect for thick hair. You can also use them for taming very stubborn hair to a desired hairstyle.

Although pomades are ideally suited for thick hair, you can also use them for styling normal hair; for thin hair such as when you are looking for that neat look; or simply for stubborn or “confused” hair. If you have wavy hair, you can also use pomade to create a smooth hairstyle.

So hopefully one of these hair pomades for thick hair will see an end to your days of untamed hair that refuses to stay put, and you can enjoy a hair style that lasts all day.
