Had to have a perm again. I've been using a hairdresser in the village where I live for the past three haircuts by which time her lack of talent became obvious. My hair was beginning to look like those of the villagers who surround me. So I returned to this shop in Bentong that I've been going to even 10 years ago when it had a different proprietor. The guy is the best.

Before the perm. Village haircut.

End result. Kpop haircut.

With a perm like this, I get asked all the time if I'm Japanese/Korean. No, really. Even when I tell them I'm not, they don't seem to believe it.

i just got myself a layrite. it could be the different climate here in Malaysia compared to california where the pomp reviews it.

i find that the pull isnt that good, doesnt straighten my hair for the pomp as easily as suavecito or any of the oil base i use. and this is the strong hold brown color layrite. a bit disappointing.

today is the 2nd time im using it, finding similar results in the first styling. but restyling has been good. i think i will try and style my hair a bit damp tomorrow.

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.

does the waterbase help degrease? i have been loving this oil-based pomade recently. but oh i hate build up and sleeping with greasy hair

honestly just choose one that is cheap and good. especially if its your everyday product.

brylcreem or gatsby, gels dont vary much from each other.

Just get some advise from Lelong guys they recommend layrite cement clay is it good ?
*
dont use the cement clay, i feel you should start with the regular pomade. medium if your hair is soft, and strong hold if your hair is wavy or stubborn. you can stick to layrite, that brand is fine.

Is it the cement clay hard to use ?

nah... its fine. but if you want to go for the look, the shine from pomade makes the difference i think.

Now i need to clear up some misconception regarding wavy hair need to use heavy hold.

I have a thick, rough and wavy 90s surfer hair and for sometimes now i believed that i need to use heavy hold for every hair product i had used until recently i saw a video on youtube, he got hair just like mine but rocking a sick classic pomp. He only use medium or light pomade for his hairstyle and the reason he gave for using the medium or light pomade is because wavy hair can get away using medium or light pomade if u know how ur hair tends to wave and how ur hair whorl characteristic.
Using heavy pomade will only force the hair for ur desired hairstyle but if u cant understand how ur hair behaves (especially the wavy type) u will always and always end up having to restyle ur hair over and over again. Taking his advise ive switch to hair cream (which is the lightest i think and cheap) and styled to pomp. And guess what? It works just nice. I cant have my pomp as high as i wanted to but it was a nice and very classical looking pomp.

Well tl:dr version would be, understand how ur hair characteristic, get a cut suitable for the style and rock it with a good hair product.
Not all hairstyle works on ur hair but it is what it is.

love your explanation.

unfortunately we live in a world where those that have wavy hair want straight hair and those with straight hair want wavy. hahahha

i like modern pomp. but to the side kind. now using pomade, tried with hair cream and wax also cannot.. the best is pomade.. but i feel it is still too flat..  hmm.gif  hmm.gif  my hair is thick and straight..

being thick and straight shouldnt be a problem. being "flat" is. you blowdry your hair right? it should be a technique problem. straight hair you can get the angle but cannot get the height, curly hair get the height but not the angles.

I have been using the pomade for few weeks. One thing I do not like about the pomade is unable to re-style(water based).
When I went to shopping centre to try new shirt, end up, I will have a messy hair cry.gif  cry.gif
Once the style is set, you cannot kacau anymore, unlike wax or clay.

erm... just wet your hands/comb and comb only.

water based pomades that cant restyle are pretty lousy quality if you ask me.
