The 8 Best Pomades for Giving Your Hair Volume and Texture
"Hair Type: Different hair types require different kinds of care and that includes what styling products are best. Curly and textured hair, for instance, tends to get dry and frizzy easily, so you want to look for products that are cream based or have additional moisturizing agents to help smooth and condition your hair while you style it. On the flip side, fine or thin hair tends to get weighed down easily, so heavy oil-based products may not be good."
"Hold: Shorter, more defined styles generally require more hold to keep them in place. Styling products tend to come in three hold strengths: light, medium and high. Light holds will allow you to still run your fingers through your hair whereas high hold means the hair is locked. Pomade Base: Different pomades are made from different materials. Many are water-based, which is the classic shiny pomade style. Water-based pomades are best for adding volume."
Different hair types require tailored products and care. Curly and textured hair benefits from cream-based or moisturizing formulations to reduce dryness and frizz while smoothing and conditioning during styling. Fine or thin hair risks being weighed down by heavy oil-based products, so lighter formulas are preferable. Styling products provide light, medium, or high hold—light holds allow finger movement, while high holds lock styles in place. Pomade bases vary: water-based pomades add shine and volume; clay-and-water formulas create thicker application and a matte, textured finish; oil-based pomades offer high shine and strong hold but are harder to wash out and suit less oily hair. Check product packaging for recommended hair types.
