my hairstyle like this if it helps. got a bit of shine.

[attachmentid=8523684][attachmentid=8523694]

More of a side part I guess. Juz tell the barber u want undercut on the sides. And keep it long from the top. The way I comb it is just style it to the 1 side.

yup. I think mine is undercut. Undercut is more drastic, like short, then long. Fade is like, it slowly fades into longer hair. If i'm not mistaken.

Using this Hanz De Fuko Gravity Paste. Got a bit of shine to it. Then finish off with Osis+ hairspray.

stay away from Gatsby or any pharmacies hair products because it contains high concentration of alcohol which lead to hairloss. You definitely need to spend more for your health of your scalp.

im quite ok on pomade so i need to ask u 1st. for a pomade u looking for easy to wash or u dont mind about it? if u dont mind i  suggest u go for petro-based pomade. u will got the shine u wanted and those greaser look but the drawback is, its really kindda hard to wash out. there are some tricks u can use to wash all the grease from ur hair but i wont touch on that 1st.

so there are also what they called water-based pomade (suavecito is a WB pomade [well more like gel lol!]) so if u like the WB products, i could recommend u a US pomade, shiner gold (heavy hold) layrite (US pomade). As for local i really like skull republic. all the WB pomade i list here can be restyled with the help of a bit of water.

there are new ones called Unorthodox water-based (UWB) which they say holds like a petro based but washes like water=based. so u get best of both world, well thats the theory lol. i dont have any experience with UWB so i cant give my opinon regarding this.

im personally love petrobased pomade thou i do occasionally i use WB since its convenience for me. heck i even bought tancho just for the sake of the old high school memories lol!

for water-based pomade, nope... i just wash with water. i usually shampoo my hair every 2 or 3 days. since some of the waterbased pomade i use are protecting my hair (loads of argan oil, castor oil, mango butter all the good stuff).

only when its easy to wash like water based pomade. i only use either pomade or hair cream these days, i have not touch gel,wax clay or paste for the past 5 years.

however if its a petrobased pomade, i usually just wash my hair normally for couple of days since i can get it to build up and styling the hair gets much2 easier and u can get a really great result. after that its degrease time.

and to answer ur question regarding the shampoo thing, yes i shampoo every 2 - 3 days. i dont see the need to shampoo it everyday thou.

Currently im using tancho, good ol tancho. On my arsenal i got goon grease, grandads heavy hold, gonzo heavy hold and gonzo slick, schmiere heavy hold special edition
All of them are oil based and got 1 or two ingredients i mention.
Wax hold much better than oil thats for sure but its also hard to wash. Most pomade use beewax or some sort of natural wax to make it hold better and depending on the strength of the wax it can either be shiny or matte. Pomade are made to be greasy but there are also some that less greasy and more waxy. As for smell also depends on the brewer. I mean there are loads of choices for smell ranged from fruity to perfumey, to wood and ash and i kid u not gunpowder. So feel free to choose which of the smellu like the most

Not really. Some UWB pomade are almost as good as OB pomade. As for me i love OB pomade is because personal references. For me i love the grease on my hair n i love the optionto restyle it. But generally yeah u are right thou its not the case nowdays. Pick ur poison either OB or UWB or WB its at the end, ur choice.

here's a bit about it;

( a paragraph from:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greaser_(subculture) )

so thats why it is called grease.

well i do know a bit about WB and UWB. WB is just sort of gel. some of people who i know do not call it pomade but called it gel and its kinda true to be honest. now an unorthodox WB is when they put some aqua or type of water to the concoction's of oil based pomade ingredients (or different thing all together thou I'm not certain of the later). if u watch youtube how to make an unorthodox WB pomade u'll see what I'm talking about here.

all WB and UWB have a lifespan of 1 1/2 years to 2 years since its mixed with sort of aqua or type of water. to make the shelf life longer they put some sort of preservatives (which most are chemicals) into the UWB and WB pomade to make it last a bit longer.

hope it helps a bit

i would said claymation for sure.

if u want a more matte look u should go for clay/wax. the hairstyle also for me should go for something towards holding your hair better and clay and wax is ur best bet.

layrite superhold is kindda shiny thou not as much, and the hold can be hard. for that kind of look u need something that can be restyle over and over again.

I just use 3 items before styling my hair. Wide tooth comb, hairdryer and my fingers.

This is it, it's quite cheap, and i find it useful for me. It gives a good overall shape. And while blow drying my hair, just keep combing it towards the way i want my hair to style. Then alternatively switch between using fingers are natural comb.
