After many outtakes, edits and fuck ups, I gave up and made this video in one go. I'm tired as hell, face has been eaten up by bugs from the yardwork yesterday, I have a gnarly headache, and I could use some coffee! So suck it! Clearly, I gave up at the end. I don't care. I just want to get the promo-code out to you folks!

The video gives you the basic how-to. There's not much to it folks! Just gotta know how to slick your hair, make a sharp part, and experiment with the pomp! A lot of trial and error, and you'll be lookin' slick in no time!
Big thanks to Matthieu from Hairgum USA!
Also, check out my blog, for some good pomade reviews, tips and tricks of the trade, as well as some good rockabilly music and events!

I have extremely curly hair and my trick is to blow dry the hair when I get out of the shower. If it still isn't enough, I'll sometimes bust out the straightener. Then I would apply the pomade.

@jstinnett75 Thanks for the kind words. Use the heel of your palm, to sort of push the pomp forward, so it doesn't get dragged back with the rest of the hair. It also helps round out the back of the pomp, so it has more of a fluid look and feel to it. Hope this helps man. - Jan

@ThePitkings It depends on you. I prefer to apply it to slightly damp hair, some apply it in the shower. That method never worked for me, but it might for you.

I had a quick question. Whenever I try to put my hand on the top of my head, and comb, stray hairs pop out, and usually my hair starts to part in the middle, oddly enough. Am I not putting enough pomade in, or is my hair on top just too short?

What I do is I just pomade the very front. Because my hair isnt really long enough to get a decent size pomp yet. So I just use let the front stay up.

Hey man I'm thinking about getting a pomp and I'm growing out my hair atm. Should I do a trim before I try to get a pomp or should I just do it when my hair is the right length? And I like taking showers every morning, can I still do that? I've read that people keep grease in for a while when having this hair style. Also: I have this hair wax, can I use that instead of pomade?

@GeorgeN111 12 жыл бұрын

What do you ask your barber for when you want to do this. I have my hair short on the sides. Medium on top. How long would it take to grow my hair out. Any idea.

@LilBoyDrmer Thanks man. I'll get samples here and there, but I'm not endorsed by anyone, nor do I get paid to do any reviews. Also, I don't consult in the brand, prior to my reviews. If it's a good product, it's good and I'll say it's good. Same goes for if it sucks. And if/when I run out of a product, that I got as a sample, that I like, I'll definitely purchase it again.

@XalessandroX323 Thanks man. The hold for Mr. Ducktail's pomade is a little stronger than Black & White Pomade, if you've tried it. I have thick and wavy hair as well, and this stuff works pretty well for me! I dig the pomade and a lot of people I've showed it to this past weekend, dig it too! Definitely worth looking into! Plus, the promo-code is up until July 4th, so you've got plenty of time to make up your mind.

So, I've done some research since watching this video I've narrowed my choices down to these pomades Mr. Ducktail Schmiere K-hart Schmiere Hart Murray's Black Beeswax Right now I use this grayish hair clay to style my hair and it's working alright right now, but all I do is spread it everywhere and comb the front upward. What I'm looking for is the least shiny pomade for my black hair, sticks the most so I won't have to mess with it, and not too expensive. I'm wondering what you think is best?
