Hair Wax & Pomade

Hair wax, pomade, clay and paste for texture, hold and a matte or shiny finish.

Hair wax and pomade for sharp, lasting styles

Wax and pomade are the go-to styling products for short and medium hairstyles. They give shape, texture and hold, from a slick, high-shine pompadour to a matte, messy crop. Pomades usually offer more shine and a smoother finish, while waxes, clays and pastes give a more natural or matte result. Most are reworkable, so you can restyle throughout the day.

Find your finish

• Water-based pomade: shine and hold that washes out easily.
• Oil-based pomade: classic slick look with long-lasting hold.
• Wax: flexible hold and definition with a natural sheen.
• Clay and paste: matte texture and volume for modern styles.

How to style with wax or pomade

1. Start with clean, towel-dried or dry hair, depending on the product.
2. Scoop a fingertip amount and warm it between your palms.
3. Work it from the back to the front, from roots to tips.
4. Shape with fingers for texture or a comb for a sleek finish.

Washing out

Water-based products rinse out with normal shampoo. Oil-based pomades may need two washes or a clarifying shampoo.
