Pomade, clay, cream or paste — which do you need?Match hold, shine and texture to the look you want
Water-based pomades give high shine and firm hold, wash out easily. Oil-based give deeper shine and stronger hold, need shampoo to remove. Best for classic slicked or side-part looks.
Clays and pastes give matte finish with medium to firm hold. Ideal for messy, textured, undone looks. Work best on damp-to-dry hair.
Styling creams give light hold and soft finish. Suit longer, wavy or curly hair, or anyone who wants their hair to look styled but not done.
