suggestions for best water based pomade, something that can be restyled throughout the day? i have thick heavy hair and i need hold and lightness as well. thinking about going for a oil based for occasional use also.
Depends on your preference of texture of the hair product, fragrance and etc.
If you like gel texture, go for suavecito, its cheap, its a classic, hardens up like helmet but can be restyle by wetting your comb before restyling. Scent is like manly cologne.
If you like unorthodox waterbased, go for shear revival crystal lake, it has been reformulated recently but I havent tried the new formula...based on the old formula, it feels like oil based but it is waterbased. Can be restyled without water. Doesnt dries up. But the hold is towards the light side. Scent is vanilla-ish.
If you like creamy type of waterbased, go for anchors teddy boy original, the texture is creammy, can be restyled without water, doesnt dries up, hold is pretty good. Washes off at one shower. Scent is like foresty musky.
If you want oil based, can go for goon grease. Scent is fresh lemon lime. Doesnt dries up. Hold is fantastic. Washes out in 2 -3 showers. Can be restyled with ease. Based on my experience, oil base style the best pomp. But not convenient to use daily.
I normally alternate the days of my pomades. Like one day oil, next day waterbased. So it degreases on the 2nd day. And the build up from the 1st day of oil base adds the hold to the 2nd day as I use the waterbased.
