Gel Pomade combines the control of gel with the flexibility of a water-based pomade for strong hold, high shine, and all-day stay-in-place styling.

Overview

Our 2 oz travel size GEL POMADE combines the best properties of gels and pomades to create a new hybrid styling medium.

GEL POMADE goes in light and smooth. It provides a sculptable precision that dries into the hair and hardens for an all day, stay-in-place hold. The strength of the hold is determined by the amount of product used and the amount of water in your hair during application.

GEL POMADE also works well as a base. Some users mix or “cocktail” this product along with our CLASSIC, BLACKTOP, or FIBER POMADE for precise holds on the sides or to add volume with a light blow dry.

GEL POMADE is especially good for finer hair as it will thicken and enhance volume. It will also enhance curls if crunched into hair. And again, as in all our finishing products, it’s water-reactivatable and conveniently rinses out.

GEL POMADE is also available in a standard 12 oz size and as part of our TRAVEL ASSORTMENT.

HOW TO USE.

SHAPE + SET

Gel Pomade features a light-medium smooth gel consistency designed for strong hold, high shine, and precise control. It remains sculptable while you style, then sets firmly into the hair for lasting, stay-in-place hold. Adjust the amount of product and moisture in your hair to control application and hold.

01 / 04 APPLY
01

APPLY

Start with a small amount and work evenly between your palms. Distribute throughout the hair from roots to ends, adding more as needed before shaping into your desired style.

FOR STRONG HOLD + HIGH SHINE

Apply to damp, towel-dried hair for more working time to distribute, shape, and define your style before Gel Pomade sets.

FOR A SET-IN, TEXTURED FINISH

Apply to dry hair for a more defined, set-in look or messy, spiked styles. Work quickly—Gel Pomade sets faster when applied to dry hair.
