my god... Never knew the hair game for men was this serious.. this channel is life changing.

Both oil-based and water-based product change as your surroundings change (i.e. humidity, temperature, etc.) but water-based products are also time-dependent. In more simple words, they dry over time which causes shifting and movement between the time you last look in the mirror and walk out. Style your hair about 30 mins before you leave and right before you leave....it should be almost dry, so comb through again and this time, it should last.

I agree 100% with you on water-based "pomades" being nothing more than gel. They're just labeled as pomade to target specific customers

that's a wicked styling job. Growing my hair to past my lip though would take forever lololol right now i think my front bangs can reach to just below my bottom eye lid. Great vid.

Just a small suggestion! For water based products, it is suggested for oily hair while dry to normal hair, oil based products are fine c: I sadly can't add oil based products because it causes my thin hair to gap and become hard to style. Everyone's hair is different and each products type of ingredients varies to your hair type! Thank you for the vid! Gonna style it up for the hubby! C:

Love it !!! Great tutorial ..very easy and quick!

You,sir, are a champion. Love the blog and videos. Thanks!

Excellent look. Excellent hair. Thank you for sharing.

Dude this guys pomp is hella perfect

where all my big forehead and receding hairline people at :D

Thats a pomp? Looks like a speed bump.

James man I love you. Your tips Are so Helpful.

Glad to hear you say that about the pomades. Anyone I ask, they seem to blindly say "no, the water based are just as good". NO. They are not. They get weak, they lose hold. Has to be oil/petro. based. :)

i have bushy thick hair, and after using murrays superior for a couple months, a bit of layrite, and now suavecito firme hold, my hair seems tobe thinning on the top which is where most of the pomade goes. Is itpossible for the pomade to make you lose hair?

Omg you're so good! Looks like I got some gear to buy and practicing to do!

You make it look so easy!!!

what pompade will be good for my hair I have thin hair? I had suavecito it sucked smelled good but sucked tried jells I made it work but still haven't found anything good.

so rather stupid question, i rock a low pomp/combover being in the army and having to wear a hat the back of my hair always fucks up when i take my hat off, any solution to this problem? perhaps a heavy pomade, i just ordered anchor teddy boy original im just tired of having to constantly fix the back when ever i walk inside

what is the best pomade to use for wavy/curly hair oil based or water based?

Thanks! I have really thin hair so this tutorial helps a lot!

another question, when you put in pomade and style your hair how many strands of hair (if you were you estimate) fall out?

Hey James! First off, great vid! I have a problem every time I attempt at a pompadour. When I put my product in, usually Royal Crown Pomade (not hair dressing), the front of my pomp forms a lip due to the wavyness of my hair. The front of my hair is down between my eyes and my nose. I don't know what to do! Cheers!

nicely done! great tutorial

i can't buy pomade where i live, will gel do to? i use schwarzkopf power gel titane

what pomade do you suggest me to use

great hair and great pomp.. whats the name of the palmate you use again? couldn't quite get that sorry.

This is great I just recently got my hair cut to this type of style but couldn't find much over how to style my hair since it's also straight and thin. Good video. I'm subbing.

What petroleum based pomade would you recommend, or top 3 pomades? Thanks.

Great informative tutorial... thanks!

Hey what if in my country (Romania) I can't find "Pomade" ??? Is there any alternative?

do you apply the pomade to wet hair or dry hair?

Is this why my hair keeps clumping together or stranding together in long strands? Pretty frustrating that i get a nice pomp in then before i leave the house my hair is in thick strands instead of just evenly combed... I'm using that Layright extra hold water based pomade...

What kinda pomade you use? I got this crappy from Schwartzkopf and it doesn't hold exactly well. It makes my hair look like a wet lump of grass somebody combed into a pomp, and I do have thin and straigh hair.

Can you do a pomp with somewhat thick hair? And whats the recommended length for a pomp.

how do you get such a clean part?

what pomade do you use?

what did you do to make ur hair that long? i want like ur hair

i have fine and not super thin but, thinner than the average person hair, and i was wondering if this hair style or a form of it, would work for me.

how often do you thin your hair?

I have fine, wavy hair. Do I need to have straight hair to style a pomp??

your hair seems easy to style. nice!

Hi James, just reading through your comments, would you recommend any of the 3 iron society, tancho or green/gold to achieve the affect like charlie hunnam has below, i was going to buy layrite but after reading your thoughts it doesnt seem a good buy - im looking for something which will hold throughout the working day 9 - 5 and not need re-applying thanks if you google charlie hunnam post office stop - thanks - cant post a website link

Hey James! Thx for the awesome video. You look sharp :D What's that long tail comb you are using? I want one too!

what is the name of the pomade you are using? i coudnt really catch the name

Baby, that is mad hair! Perfect

Yo man, love the pomp! How long did it take to grow your hair out to the right length??

9yrs ago video my god. How time flies. The time i spend most of my time on youtube searching on pompador and pomade

what kind of pomade is it??? and where do you buy it?

Try Embalmers Grease and also Steele Toe embalmed is all natural and steel toe is a great heavy gold for fine hair. Also with my fine hair I heat up the pomade with a hair dryer and it make it easier to work through my hair.

how long did it take you to grow it to that length?

looks cool!

Looks awesome bro! good video :)

where do you buy tancho

how does the back look?

Nicely done!!

Awsome hair pal!

POMP....how can i straight my hairs...bcoz my hair r not straight... and what product to use to get best pompadour..

whats the name of the pomade?

how can i get that?

The reason I always slicked mine back was because when I comb the front up as you are, all the set hair gets pulled out of place, lol. I have fine hair like you, so heavy hold pomades don't work well with me. I like that Mighty Shine pomade.

when i hold the back of my hair down and comb up to get the pomp my hair in the front just flies away..why ?

what if you have thick wavy hair?

wow man, your hair looks amazing bro, waiting for my hair to grow out a little to get my pomp back, whats the strongest product you recommend for thick and really stubborn hair?

Im sure what to use to get hold in my hair. I have some gel or wax, but I won't stay strong the hole day. Should I use some hair spray at the end?

How long was your sides and top?

So... how am i going to achieve this if i have curly hair?

I wish i could do this but i have hair thinning in the front.

oh my gosh that is sooo nice!

How long are the sides bro

Layrite is actually pretty good, I highly recommend it.

nice hairstyle. Very cool.

what brand pomade?? =)

such great shine! Awesome shape...try it with no part!

Nice! What camera do u use?

From where you've got rat tail comb?

Just a question? Isn't pomp not a healthy product to put in your hair?

i like your videos because i have thin hair too and because you can make the pomp work

cool style bro!!

I ordered suavecito due to thin hair that pomade didnt give me natural look and instead my hair became very flat

Love this so much

Gorgeous!

I came from facebook. lulz, nice job James!

Awesome technique to part your hair

I like it, great vid. I am with you, I use REAL pomade, it's the standard deal with proper pomps.

Yo man, you gotz to try some dr.rubin's. Its just one of those pomades that you have to try and see. I have been using all kinds if pomades for years now and rarely give 5's, but this pomade is as close to a 5 as its gonna get. Must try it.

did he start with his hair wet ????

That was clean!!

Awesome video

Those are Ion combs right?

How does he do that????

Looks good.

Because it looks cool

i like to use a small amount of layrite before i put murrays washes out easy

Damn your hair is clean bro

Holy crap thats clean

do my hair need to be wet if i use suavocito water-based?

useful tutorials! Nice!!!

U should do reviews on pomades. Thanks for listening

Comb name

wow awsome, would like that you style your hair one time in the middleparted way, or with a small braid...
