Ready to learn how to use pomade? The great thing about men's pomade from Reuzel is the wide variety of formulations available to meet the needs of men's hair styling with all thicknesses and textures. It doesn't matter if your hair is short or long, thick or fine, coarse or textured, there's a pomade created specifically for your hair type.

But what is pomade? Pomade is a men's hair styling product designed to hold styles longer and allow for creativity that would otherwise be impossible. Consider the classic pompadours worn by Elvis Presley and James Dean, and you can see why hair pomade is so popular today.

Today's men are sporting hairstyles that are precision cut, but still benefit from a product that can hold each lock of hair in perfect place. From slicked down and shining to feathered and natural, it's all about how to apply pomade to suit your hair cut and preferred style. The best tip is to be patient and learn from trial and error. For each man and each hairstyle there will be flexibility in how much pomade to use and how much teasing or massaging will be needed to get your desired look. But how do you use pomade? Watch our how to use pomade video or read our how to use pomade step-by-step list below.

How to Use Pomade

How to Use Pomade Step-by-Step

1. Start with clean hair: First, make sure any pomade from the last application has been completely removed – this will help prevent a greasy build-up. Hair product build-up can cause the hair to be weighed down over time and can cause more frizzing. 
2. Use a knuckle or two size amount: Rub the pomade between your palms to soften it. Remember, a little goes a long way and you can always add more, if needed. Once your hands have an equal coating of pomade, you're ready for application.
3. Work scalp to ends: Starting at your scalp, work your way to the ends, which is easier if you spike your hair upwards as you coat each group of strands. This will help prevent the pomade from clumping and will evenly distribute the product. Don't neglect the back of the head where you may want to add a little extra pomade for more holding power.
4. Liberally coat hair:  Apply the remaining pomade by running your fingers through your hair and generously coat each strand from scalp to ends. Ensure you have massaged product evenly throughout entirety of head.
5. Use additional product: If you need added hold or want to create a slicker hairstyle, use some additional product when styling. With practice, you will develop the right technique and amount for your hair and preferred styles, but generally men will use more pomade to hold down the sides and back of the hair, and less on top for a looser, more natural wave.
6. Style with comb or fingers: Use a comb or fingers to perfect your desired look and put ever strand in its finished place.
