Ahh..Its difficult but it can be done. Just takes some time to practice it. Try using a little more pomade.
Never heard of mixing wax with pomades
Are you applying pomade to damp or dry hair? If you really really want such a huge pomp maybe you can try applying it to dry hair. It holds better but might feel a little bit harder to apply. Also you can finish it off with a hair spray once you get the desired pomp height.
Hmm.. let me explain how I recently achieved my pomps. When I fiddled around with ways to have a pomp, this is what I normally do..
After shower..
-Spray quite an amount of hairspray to roots to gain volume.
-Apply wax/pomade and style.
-Use comb to readjust hair to look neat.
-Pomp achieved.
-Spray more hairspray to increase hold
Maybe my hair is getting longer so it's harder to style, or maybe because its the fact that I applied some spray conditioner to my hair last night that it didn't quite work out.
The thing about using wax or pomps to style my hair is that when using wax to style my hair, the pomp is a more evenly distributed pomp to give it that very casual look, just think of a pomp that isn't too neatly combed, but the shape is still there.
For pomades however, it gets too neat for me to the point where I need to use my hands to kind mess it up a bit. Hard to explain, but I can show you some pictures to let you know what I mean.
Sadly with wax, my pomp falls after 5 minutes of standing, probably because the wax isn't strong enough to hold. But with pomade, I tried mixing water and grease yesterday, the results was very nice. It held very well for hours at the expense of an itchy scalp and very greasy that I don't like.
