I think the term "pompadour" is more familiar amongst those in their early to early late 20s. Not many people knows the name of the hairstyle, sometimes they just walk in and tell the hairstylist what they want by describing how they want it to be cut. But isn't it more simple to say they want a pompadour :3? The idea is to have the sides cut short, while leaving front and back growing, because the longer your hair is, the easier it is for it to be combed.

Anyways, anyone spotting this hairstyle? I wanna get some advice please. I've tried tons of hair tutorials, guides, products, asked around yet none have been successful so far helping me achieve the hairstyle I want. Not really sure if its a problem inadequate blow drying skills, wrong hair styling product, wrong shampoo or simply because my hair is just difficult to style.

Would appreciate some advice from you guys. I'll post the picture showing the kind of pompadour I'd like to style.





Ideally, something like the first picture of the second row, or the one below. I like the kind with medium size puffs and to have the back of my hair still stands perfectly. Pretty saddening to say every time I achieve the shape I want, plus a bit of hair spraying, the entire hair falls flat in 5 minutes time. Even after I minimize the usage of my hairspray and wax, cause apparently using too much causes your hair to be heavy.

Would really like to know if any of you guys are super fashion savvy, particularly in the hairstyle dept. I've gone the point where I seriously would love to get someone to teach me some hands on styling tricks LOL. Even my hairstylist ran out of tricks to help me.

So please, any advice pleaseee. Really wanna have this hairstyle. And before someone else goes inb4 on the thread, pleaseeeee refrain from doing so. Seriously don't troll in this thread, I just wanna get some serious help. So for those of you who aren't kind enough to offer advice, please just walk out of the thread for every body's sake. It's frustrating to see someone remark unhelpful stuffs. '

On a last note, TYVM

Pomade brah, pomade..

There's 2 types. Water based and petroleum based. Water is easier to wash out but it makes the hair stiffer, while grease is difficult to wash out, but won't leave you feeling like a helmet head. Grease can be re-combed throughout the day without water. Water based ones you need to kinda wet it a little to re-comb.

Also, water won't give you the shine like grease do. In the picture you mentioned the hair is kinda shiny. My guess would be grease. Shines on water based ones won't last the whole day.

1. not everyone can rock this look...
2. hairspray and wax?? do you mean pomade?

Is Pomade a necessary product to achieve the look? It's not that I'm not willing to get a can of pomade, but having a greasy hair isn't exactly what I want. I'm also a bit curious as to whether hair wax can achieve the shape of pompadour. I don't necessarily want a shiny look, I'd style my hair in such a way that the hair is neat and it has the shape, don't wanna really have the problem of several strands of hair popping here and there.

On a scale of 1 to 10, how necessary is pomade?

1.Disagree, with effort, people can go with any hairstyle they want, as long as they're happy. Not saying I look good with the hair though, lol. Just figured I pointed it out.

2. Currently, I use hair wax and hairspray to style my hair. I do not mean pomade, pomades are an entirely different product that I mentioned.

Pretty sure most of them with pomp uses pomade. If you don't want the grease, try the water based ones. I've used wax prior to pomades. It holds fine in the beginning when my hair was still short. I managed to get the small pomp using osis was and hairspray. But this kinda look need to keep longer hair until the wax and spray could no longer hold them up. Plus, I don't really like combing when using wax. After that switched to water-based pomade and now using grease or sometimes mixing both.

Based on my experience, I'd say 8/10. Never came across any product which can hold that look for me, even using hairspray which suppose to have a stronger hold.

And for what its worth, I think pompadour/undercut looks good on most type of faces. As long as you like it, do it.

That sounds great. Do you know where can I find water based pomades within KL? Just curious, how important is blow drying for pompadours? And when you said osis, were you talking about Schwarzkopf's Osis hairspray? I'm planning to use the Silhouette hair spray. And also very curious about this, but does using pomade enable you to style the back of your hair more easily? I notice a key point in my hair is that whenever I style my hair, the back of my hair tends to fall first, followed by the front, I am not sure if its because the roots of my back hair were not properly styled or the wax were not sufficient enough. Does pomade solve this problem? And do you use a comb for your hair styling procedure?

What's the outcome like mixing a water-based and petroleum-based pomade? Sorry I'm asking too much, I'm glad I found someone who can give serious advice lol. Not even the guides on the web help. Would definitely love to ask you for some hands on help in styling hair.

If I may... you can get water based pomade in a few places in KL.. Maison / The Yard do sell suavecito, shiner gold, js sloane, lay rite.

As for styling, you may refer to bro @evoangel

Refer this thread:

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2495517

Oh hi there. Yeah, I saw the thread yesterday and posted my inquiries directing towards evoangel, but haven't gotten a reply from him. Thanks though, hopefully he's willing to give some advice in styling pomps.

i would say that different pomade will hold differently depending on hair texture.. that said, what works for me, might not work for you..

just to share, i've also been experimenting with a few water based pomades.. my best combo is suave strong + layrite strong - good hold and shine..

i have yet to try grease pomade as..

- requires extensive care i.e. cleaning/washing them out
- might cause acne

hope this helps..

if u want a good pomp, suitable haircut is a must and a really good pomade will ensure u with well done pomp.

so doing a pomp using grease need practice... and patient... loads of it.

loads of tutorials are only guidelines for u to do pomps because at the end of the day u urself will develop ur own skill of doing a pomp.

its ok to make some mistake along the way... u learn from it.

Thanks. Will definitely keep looking for water-based pomades in KL region. Haven't gotten a reply from evoangel, think he might have missed my post lol. Could you share a photo of the pomade you're using in your free time? just curious about how water based pomades look like.

How did you perfect yours? Any tips to share? Not really sure what you mean by haircut but mine's pretty okay, or so I'd like to believe. Just shaved sides and growing out the top, yes?

im using grease but not for doing pomp but slick back. best grease for me right now is goon grease from lockheart, grandads heavy hold and shimere heavy hold.

most of the time i mix them up for max effect. usually top using goon grease and at the back i use grandads.

shimere...? that one is really2 heavy.... i use it occasionally. for pomp i would say its one of the best.

my source of pomade? the yard ss15 and from online.

will add my collection with a collab pomade from lockheart soon...

Just curious cause you had one line that got me inquisitive. Isn't pompadour essentially the same as slick back, only that you create a pomp after slicking your hair all the way back? And I'm also pretty curious about how you mix both products. Do you combine them together or you apply one particular pomade for the back of the hair and the other for the front?

Kindly enlighten me as I am rather poor with hair grooming products, lol.

pomp usually need less longer hair and as for me i have a very long hair so i decided to do a slick back.

i mix the product because both have strength and weaknesses. on the top i use goon grease because it can hold well and flatten my hair and at the back i put some grandads because it keeps my hair at the back tidy. i have a wavy hair so if i wanna look slick as possible, this is one of the method i use.

the way i combine it? put goon grease as based, work my hair out, then use grandads applied it on the back of my hair... recomb again and tidy it up for the finish.

anyways, dont confuse urself about mixing product or whats not. For me if u really interested on doing pomp, i say just do it man.

Yeah that Osis hairspray(its a silver bottle) and flexwax.

What do you mean the back of your hair falls? I'm pretty sure wax isn't strong enough for a pomp style. I usually work the wax in and style with my fingers. Don't know why but combing through the hair with wax feels like it doesn't style the way I want. With pomade, combing through is a must so that the pomade spreads evenly on your hair. I apply the water one first then comb to coat evenly, then apply grease on top, and comb it through again.

The outcome of mixing..Well, for me it makes it easier to wash out than just using grease. If I use purely grease, it probably takes me 2-3 washes to get it off completely, but when I mix (water based applied first followed by grease on top) I can get it off in 1 wash as per normal. Also after combining both I feel like its easier to re-comb my hair throughout the day than using pure water based. I didn't have to wet my hair to re-comb it as my hair didn't harden up. And because I use the grease on top it also gives it the shine that water can't give.

Haha, don't worry and just ask all you want man..That's what the forum's for.

Yes, essentially you slick back your hair first (this part is where you get the pomade to evenly coat) and then style your pomp. Some people do a side pomp, some do a full on pomp like in your pictures.

I'd recommend JS sloane for water. I used both JS Sloane heavyweight and Suavecito. Suavecito smells like musky coconut while JS sloane kinda smell sweet like cotton candy. Haha. But I prefer JS Sloane because of its gelatine texture and the hold. Works into your hair easy too and doesn't go rock hard like Suavecito.

BTW not many brands available in Msia..If you want others you may have to get it online but shipping could be pretty pricey.

Hope you dont wear lala clothes along with your pomp

Thanks man. Fact is I'm already having an undercut hairstyle, but will definitely be patient in perfecting the art of pomp .

By the back of my hair, I mean the part where the front hair extends to the back, the back part doesn't usually hold as well as the front and I'm not sure if it's because I did not apply sufficient wax to the back part or simply because the wax never really got to the back. What it means is that when I apply my wax, I assume huge portion of the wax is applied only the front area because wax is so sticky, sometimes I get so frustrated and give up trying to comb through my hair with the wax on my hand. It gets tedious for me to coat every strand of hair with wax. Sometimes, I use a small amount of wax and apply to the front, then another amount for back and sides, it didn't help either. For some reason, the roots at the back of my hair still feels soft even after applying wax, I guess this suggests that I apply insufficient wax or that the way I styled my hair made it so that the wax didn't reach the roots of my hair. I hope I'm talking some sense here, lol. That's why I came to the forum asking for help.

In regards to Pomade, I have no specific brands. I'd just like a pomade with a consistency like wax, somewhat dry and not greasy and more importantly, holds well and ensures your hair is neat and not have strands of hair popping out here and there. The whole reason why I avoided pomade was because I knew there was grease involved and my scalp naturally releases it's own grease when I sweat so you can imagine how greasy it'll be when I combine petroleum based pomade. I'm just gonna assume suavecito's pomades are grease based? But would be happy if I could find water based pomades.

I'm not particularly concerned about shine as I've said, the shape and volume means more to me hahahaha. I actually had a friend who successfully styled his pomp without using anything but a hair dryer and hair spray. I'd show you his picture if I could but not in public lol, but omg that pomp made me envious. I tried asking him for advice but he definitely didn't seem interested in sharing details. Do you offer hands-on kind of tutorial for your friends who asked how did you style your hair? If it's not too much, I'd definitely like to ask you to teach me, maybe you can pinpoint my mistakes. That is, if you're comfortable, then I'll pm you.

But thanks. So far, you're the only guy with genocide who has extensively spoke about styling pompadours seriously to me. Definitely thankful for that. You have no idea how much this hairstyle bothered me, lol. #firstworldproblems HAHAHAHA.

Don't worry, I don't swing the ways of ah bengs and ah lians. Do you?

Hhaha! There's many tutorials on styling pomp on youtube. But you have to try it out. I guess your friend's hair is thick and coarse. Mine is really thin and soft so I have to use some stronger stuff like pomades. Suavecito and Js Sloane are both water based. You noted earlier that you don't intend to use grease, so I won't recommend any.

I think I kinda get what you're trying to say about the back part. You meant the end of your fringe that reaches behind right? I never had that problem because I slick my hair back first which means everything is slicked down. Then only I start forming the pomp. I think its because the wax is hard to spread evenly around your hair. You can't comb it through. Whereas pomade allows you to comb through to coat all your hair. I think you need to try it out man. If you live around pj you can visit evoangel's saloon. Can test out the pomades foc before you decide to invest any.

These are the few vids that I watched when I started out.

if u are trying to find a good wb pomade i suggest u also try shiner gold. good WB pomade with the scent of coconut candy

LOL. I've watched all of the videos prior to posting here. Didn't help :'(. I even watched this.





Didn't help much, maybe because I'm not using the right stuffs. And yes, you were right on with how I was describing my hair. Another thing worth mentioning is my hair falls down rather then falling backward. I noticed most guys with pomp hairstyle have hair falling to the back when their hair is unstyled, mine just falls to the front like bangs .

Thanks man. Are these obtainable in KL?

u can try asking it at the yart ss15. i bought them there.

well it depends on your face. idk why but malay seems not suitable for this kind of hair.

SS15, Subang? That's a bit far, but I'll look up on it. Does The Yart have any closer stores to KL? Kepong/Mont Kiara area? Even Damansara is fine.

Hahaha, loool. That's not nice. I'm not Malay, but I think Malays look good with any hair because they've got a very neutral face. They're not like us Chinese who tend to have small eyes and rounded jaw. I think if any race in Malaysia can look good with pompadour, I think it's the Indians and Malay.

hahaha just my opinion though

Nope. The yard only at ss15. If y have the time go there. The owner of the shop will give u some tutorials and advise on pomade and related stuff.

Are you a pompadour fan too? Share some advice .

Thanks, will have to find time for that then. Hope they're okay with teaching people how to style hair lol. You've been a great help man!

Haha not really, just normal cut better for me already

Mine also falls forwards even though my hair is super long..I guess its because my hair is damn thin and soft..Yeah, I think your problem will be solved with pomades. Try it out man. Just do as per those videos and soon you will be able to style the way you like.

Haha, thanks. Will definitely checking on water-based pomades. How much would a can of pomade cost on average? Just curious as well, is thin and soft hair good? Rarely meet guys with soft hair. You're the second person I know who has soft hair. I am somewhat proud and unproud about it lol.

This post has been edited by MerryGoRound^2: Apr 23 2014, 07:10 PM

Well, my ex was always jealous of my soft and smooth hair. But I kinda prefer having thicker hair though..Makes styling much easier plus can use the lesser holding power stuff as well.

On average about RM60-RM70 per can. Quite a big leap coming from RM30 waxes.

60-70 is kinda reasonable for pomades I guess. Especially because Pomades are not as famous anymore according to most hair stylist. My Redken clay wax cost about RM 55, now I feel so cheated and conned. If I switch to pomades, I'd feel so bad that I splurged rm 50 on another clay dull cause my wax is finishing soon.

My osis wax only about RM30. There are more expensive pomades in the market, but not many in Malaysia. It's true pomades are old school but I believe its making a comeback, especially with the latest pomp/undercut trend growing so strong.

nahh it's no bout race but face... you got handsome face you can do anything with any hair but if ugly then nothing can be done..

just like bigbang group.. there's one ugly in there.. any type of hair he did he still look ugly

haha u don't want to tell who's he?

Where do you get your hairspray. Omg, the cheapest I got for a Schwarzkopf's Silhouette was RM50, buy 1 free 1. You need to tell me where you guys get your super cheap product lol.

I'm guessing it T.O.P or G.D, never liked G.D. True also, if you have the face, you'll look awesome in any hairdo. That's why Kpop celebs' got a large fanbase. My dentist even told me they apply a layer of dental porcelain over their teeth to make it appear ever so white.

Hey guys, a small little update. After our talk, I kinda fiddled around with ways to achieve a pompadour. Currently, I have success styling a pompadour if I coat my hair roots with some hair spray first, then applying wax from the back of my hair to the front, then combing it over. Spraying a little bit more hairspray more if I see some hair edging out here and there.

But I'm a bit disappointed that my pomp isn't as huge, or when I have a nice big pomp, it tends to fall flat after 5 minutes in to hairstyling. Longest I had was 1 -3 hours last week after using a new hair wax and hair spray.

Anyone can give tips on how to create bigger hair pomps? As well as how to make it last long? Also, is my method of styling hair healthy for my hair?

I know we talked about pomades, but it doesn't seem like I'm getting a can of pomade anytime soon. Help please

list down the hair products you are using. I have no issues with my current stack of hair paste and wax, which I accidentally discovered hahaha.

pomades work better on slick backs honestly. Unless you can find clay pomades here in Malaysia.

if you really want a 'full' pompadour, just do bonding la hahah, I can assure you it works.

This post has been edited by TechnoG: Apr 29 2014, 10:03 PM

Like i said, just try grease 1st then u know why pomade is suitable for a pomp. Ive seen some wicked pomp just using pomade.

Is that a Lux? Ugh, I hate Lux more than Teemo lol. I'm currently using Redken Wax and Cab's Clay Dull. Hairsprays are Redken and Schwarzkopf. I'll post a picture later.

And noooo, no rebonding . I love the way it is.

Just to update you, I managed to find some pomades within Klang Valley, will share the photo below.


Hey bro, your dear shop is so hard to find LOLOLOLOL. I had to drive all the way up to SS15 without a single idea of the place. But managed to find the place in the end, sad that they never give discounts even though I bought quite a number of pomades ..

I've tried the pomade just now to style my hair, I mixed water/grease based pomade and I must say I really don't like grease based. It is so damn hard to wash out :'(. Now I regretted buying 2 cans of grease based. I bought that much cause the staff said grease pomades has more holding power. And because I don't travel down to Subang often, I rather buy more. Anyways..



Two cans of water based and grease based, plus a comb cause my fine teeth combs at home aren't doing the trick. Splurged rm 300 on it . I'm willing to sell off the second can of grease based if my first can doesn't go well. But like you said, pomade is really good for pompadours. It's holding very well and when you comb it, it comes together to give a very neat look.

Fuuh, JS Sloane rocks man. By far my fav water based one. Grease can be washed out with just shampoo using my method. Just use the grease as an overcoat. Using grease alone makes it a pain in the arse to wash. I'd only do it if there's any events or stuff since I can recomb anytime. But anyway just using JS Sloane alone should be enough to hold a pomp for the whole day.

. I just washed my hair and I can feel the grease on my hair still. I mixed both as suggested by most of you all. I bought two cans of grease pomades cause that guy was saying how I need grease pomades if I want it to last all day.

But now I regretted. I think I wanna sell off the grease pomades cause Grease ain't what I like. Any takers? RM 60 cause one can is new and the other can I just take a bit to use only. I just bought them on Thursday.

This post has been edited by MerryGoRound^2: May 3 2014, 07:49 PM

What? Ur selling 2 cans for RM60?

Did you use conditioner bro? There's a method to was grease out easily man. First before you shower apply generous amount of conditioner without water directly onto your hair. Let it sit for 15 min then wash it out with water, then proceed to wash with shampoo. If still got some grease left just conditioner once more then should all be gone.

Some people will use olive oil also and some will use dish washing soap

Omg. Whaaat. No wonder, I applied conditioner to wet hair -.- Nahh, not RM 60 for 2 cans. RM 60 for the new can, and I don't know RM 60 for the other can that I used once? I just wanna get rid of the product. If someone can offer me a price that was similar to the one when I bought my pomades, I'm okay with it. I think my scalp is super sensitive to the grease cause it's trying to adapt, making some areas of my scalp itchy -.-

Right now, I'm trying to experiment with bigger pomps. I want my pomps to be bigger and slightly a bit distributed, not too neat cause it made my hair look so awkward.

You want the grease pomades? I seriously wanna give it away. Should have bought 4 cans of water pomades instead.

Haha nahh not looking to buy more atm.. Try opening a thread to sell it. Should be able to.

Oh if its causing your scalp to be itchy then better not use la. Not worth all the hassle imo. Thing is, I think it may be pretty difficult to achieve a huge pomp, especially since JS Sloane doesn't have that really STRONG hold. Also our hot weather here affects the pomades too. When I was in Japan during winter, JS Sloane held up perfectly the whole day. Even when the wind blow also my pomp didn't drop. Here when I go under the sun I feel that the hold is not too strong, especially if I sweat.

Noooo, I want bigger pomps ... But I hate using Grease man. I just tried using water based with a bit of wax, it didn't help. I was disappointed.

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.

Hmm.. So ur saying you don't like it too neat? Usually pomp style people want it very neat.

When you apply pomade you should always use the comb to distribute the product evenly to your hair. Think of it like slicking back your hair.

Too much hair product lol. All could be achived with 1 suitable grease pomade. All the time ure setting ur hair can go to washing ur hair. Well, not really since most greasers dont wash their hair and sleep with the grease still on their hair and the only time they wash it is when it needed to be wash.
Same goes here for me. The build up is what makes the hold even better.

Yeah man. I see many grease heads keep building it up for a week or 2. Damn syok.

I can't do it..Scared my hair damage..too sensitive

Nolah. Grease are made from el naturale ingredients (well except for petrobased but hey u put vaseline on ur mouth so its safe right?)
Thou at some point u'll scalp will be itchy and thats when u need to wash ur hair.

I'm in the process of uploading a picture for reference. Hold on.

Okay.. can the two of you, tell me if the hairstyle in this photo is considered a pompadour, albeit a messy one? Sorry bout the poor quality, this is the best picture I can find.



This post has been edited by MerryGoRound^2: May 4 2014, 11:52 PM

Im not sure but for me its a pomp.

This is the kind of pomp I'm looking for but the pomades made it too neat to be that form. I'm thinking of going back to wax. What do you think? Also, have you heard about Hanz De Fuko wax products?

Heard about hans de fuko products. So i guess u wanted to look more natural/matte than greasy and neat?

Is that the right term to use? Natural or Matte? I don't know what matte means. But yes, I don't want it to be too greasy and neat. By the way, could you use the reply button when you reply to me, cause I wouldn't know there's a reply on the thread unless I check on it. LOL. I thought no one replied.

This post has been edited by MerryGoRound^2: May 8 2014, 01:19 PM

thats just me... replying when ever i see fits... hahahaa

yeah i heard about this hanz de fuko product. they said the hold is great but im not too sure how long the hold will last.

should achive that style u want using hanz de fuko

Argh, so frustrated . I mailed HdF asking which of the product is suitable for hairs in humid country, no reply :'(. After spending few hundreds on pomade, now I have to sell if off again~ Sorry bro, your advice was great, but pomade just isn't giving me the kind of look I want, lol.

where u located? i got a couple of place where u can check out the product locally.

hey no problem my man, i dont do pomps, i do slick backs.... beside i cant force anyone to accept what i want right?

Oh this are my new collections


This post has been edited by g3n0c|d3: May 8 2014, 03:37 PM

Ahh, going for the "messy" pomp huh? I think that kinda pomp need to be style with fingers instead of comb.

I tried HDF quicksand before. It feels exactly like the name implies - sand. Like having sand in your hair. It's more matte style but may be a little hard to wash out also. Hold wise, so-so only. It's organic so apparently it won't damage your hair/scalp but the tradeoff is that its very pricey and the bottle is small. If I remember correctly the other thread on hair products has a link someone posted about a retailer selling HDF products online.

I haven't seen that lockhart cans before. But I'm a little reluctant to use lockhart anymore. The last time I used it took me 3-4 washes to remove it completely. Scary stuff.

I'm based in Jalan Ipoh, so driving to SS 15 was damn far for me. Where else can you recommend?

i guess u never tried schimere before right?

that thing is the hardest thing to wash off period!

oh and that lockheart is a collab with gonzo malaysia. i find the super slick is awesome! and the heavy hold? yeah u can do a very high pomp with that...

I just wanna use a wax that has good hold and does well in humid country. Seems like you have a tendency to get products that are hard to wash off lol.

u can go to kronoz at Fahrenheit 88 (Lvl 4 at the parkmaya or that floor call sorry cant remember lol) they're selling hanz de fuko if im not mistaken.

Any places away from KL? Prefer Mont Kiara/Damansara area if you know any. Unless they're selling variation of HdF products, otherwise I'll just go SS15. I wanna avoid the heart of the city as much as I can

not did i know of...

i guess ur other best bet is finding online locally...

alrite i knew this guy selling
https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...hl=hanz+de+fuko

and right on your alley... can go to his salon to try out... maybe get a tip or two about doing that pomp u wanna.


This post has been edited by g3n0c|d3: May 8 2014, 04:31 PM

Btw, tell me more about this Hdf Quicksand product. Getting so frustrated that I'm spending so much money on a hairstyle -.-

Im not able to give u the review since i never wear it myself. And yeah its a bit on the expensive side. For 2oz rm70++

Bahaha yes I did try Schimere before! That was my first time using grease. I was expecting it to be hard to wash out but not THAT HARD and worse I applied it on the day I went to Port Dickson! I didn't bring my conditioner that day so I really freaked out when I couldn't wash it off with shampoo in the hotel. I must've shampooed my hair like 10x that night and I still couldn't wash it off. So freaked that I couldn't sleep also hahaha!

Have you tried styling your hair with hands using pomade? After you get the pomp shape with a comb you can mess it up a little using your fingers. Should work right?

Haha! I was interested in the quicksand because I hear so much hype about it that's why. It's not as hard to wash as grease but definitely harder to wash than any wax stuffs. After washing I could still feel some sand in my hair.

HDF is expensive if you ask me. The bottle is really SMALL. If I applied it everyday I can use up one in 2 weeks (or less) easily. They have other range also maybe you can try and see. Hold for me so-so, but my hair is really too soft so many products won't hold up well for me. Haha.

I'm thinking of using pomade when I style my hair. Last week, I called over to the places Genocide recommended and inquired about products. Many people apparently don't encourage HdF product for hair styling not sure why. I went and trim my hair yesterday and even when it was short, the wax can no longer hold the top part of my hair anymore .

Maybe you guys can help me around? I've tried every possible keywords and searches and none has the results that I want.

1. Matte Finish
2. Non-Greasy
3. Super duper strong hold
4. Holds well in humid country
5. Ideally, hair-friendly (but this doesn't matter much).

Do you guys have any idea? I'm out of my wits already .

Not many people suitable to make this kind of hairstyle.

Just found another tutorial video on hairstyle that looks close to the one I want. Now I am unsure if it's a modern quiff or pompadour. If it is a modern quiff instead, I apologize for wasting your time D:

may i know which pomade is suitable for curly hair or thick/kasar hair?

I think the ones that genocide and kitkatjapan recommended are good. JS Sloane and Henry.

Hi guys, where can i find a good saloon to cut pompadour?

hello guys,

I am looking for non grease pomade. Prefer water based, and also I don't want shiny, if possible matte finish type.

What will you recommend?

I was told to try the Suavecito Original Hold or JS Sloane, but not sure if they meet the requirement I stated. Can any of you advise? Especially those who have used them before...

Thanks guys..

Well i have tried Suavecito and Layrite Pomade... it does not provide matte look. For matte looks, you have to either go clay or wax...

How about HDF Quicksand?

good... my personal favorite. matte and lasting. need some hairspray to get that hold.

claymation seems to be the harder one between those two...i might actually get them..

i got myself the JS Sloane Medium Hold Brilliantine...very good..not sticky, some shine, but great hold so far..and i only use small portion..

Yeah its harder. A good tip is that blow dry your hair before applying anything coz it will make the styling easier as well as achieve that high rise effect.

i agree bro..blow drying definitely help to keep the hair intact for easier styling..

I just got myself HDF Claymation from The Yard..tested it and it is all I wanted on a clay..awesome..no smell, easy to use and wash, and matte finish..

on a side note, what do you guys do manage hair thinning especially at the back of your head...

LOL... i applied tons of hair growth tonic on the front of my hair. Sleep early, avoid oily hair products, cut down on my ciggies, home scalp treatment and use anti hair fall shampoo. Sounds like lots of work but better do it than sorry in the near future.

i am using the hair growth tonic too, what brand are you using? is it effective?

yup, i dont like oily hair products too, which is why i always look for water based and matte finish if possible..
anti hair fall shampoo eh..i am using Paul Mitchell Tea Tree Lemon Sage Shampoo..i buy the big bottle from a shop in Plaza 33, can last me a year..and i do use it a lot..

Nioxin Diaboost. Good... Lesser hair fall when combing it.

Shampoo i use Matrix Biolace Cooling Mint Shampoo... i got everything at SS2 Mall.

which shop in SS2? I have never visited that mall before...

can you share the price for it...

The shop at the ground floor. i think its near guardian. i couldnt remember the price anymore.

HI guys need your advice, i was gonna do the slickback/pomp hairstyle but i have super soft hair and its crazy hard to keep it in place i used the gatsby clay thing and its still not enough lol anything else that i can try, is pomade better, if so can recommend me a water based one.? thanks
