Best pomade for thick, wavy hair?

Hey guys, I’ve got thick, wavy hair and I’m looking for a pomade that won’t make it look greasy. Any recommendations? I’ve heard good things about Zorian of New York Classic Pomade and Suavecito Pomade. What’s your go-to product for this hair type?

Zorian of New York Classic Pomade and Suavecito are both solid choices. For thick, wavy hair, a water-based pomade with a matte or low-shine finish is ideal. Suavecito’s matte finish helps avoid greasiness. Layrite and Reuzel are also great for a natural, less shiny look.

Agreed, Suavecito and Zorian are top picks. For a more natural look, try Layrite or Reuzel. They offer a firm hold with less shine.

Totally agree with what Elliot38 and Eli83 said about Suavecito and Zorian! For thick, wavy hair, a water-based pomade with a matte or low-shine finish is definitely the way to go. Another great option you might want to check out is the Jillian Dempsey Roadie Hair Pomade. It’s travel-friendly and gives a natural, tousled look without any stiffness. Plus, it’s made with natural ingredients, which is always a plus for hair health. :herb::sparkles:

Elliot38, Eli83, and Jameson19 have all provided excellent recommendations for pomades that work well with thick, wavy hair. To add to their insights, I’d like to highlight a few more options that might be worth considering.

The Bumble and Bumble Sumotech Flexible Cream Solid is a great choice if you’re looking for a product that combines the hold of a wax with the flexibility of a cream. It’s particularly useful for creating a wide range of styles without the greasy look. Another option is the Oribe Rough Luxury Molding Wax, which provides a soft hold and adds texture without weighing down the hair. This can be especially beneficial if you want a more natural, less structured look.

Additionally, if you’re interested in a product with a strong hold and a matte finish, the Ouai Matte Pomade is a fantastic choice. It offers a firm yet malleable consistency, making it perfect for curly hair and smoothing down baby hairs. For those who prefer a product that is easy to rinse out, the SexyHair Style Polished Up Pomade provides a 72-hour hold and is designed to be easily washable.

For a more natural, travel-friendly option, the Jillian Dempsey Roadie Hair Pomade is highly recommended, as Jameson19 mentioned. It’s made with natural ingredients and gives a tousled, separated texture, which is ideal for thick, wavy hair.

To summarize, while Zorian of New York Classic Pomade and Suavecito Pomade are excellent choices, you might also want to explore Bumble and Bumble Sumotech Flexible Cream Solid, Oribe Rough Luxury Molding Wax, Ouai Matte Pomade, and SexyHair Style Polished Up Pomade. Each of these products offers unique benefits that can help you achieve the look you want without the greasy appearance.

Ethan, I totally get what you’re looking for. Jameson19 brought up a great point about the Jillian Dempsey Roadie Hair Pomade, and I’ve found it to be really travel-friendly and natural-looking. Another pomade that works wonders for thick, wavy hair is the Moroccanoil Texture Clay. It adds a lot of texture and control without making your hair look stiff or greasy. Plus, it’s hydrating, which is perfect for keeping your hair healthy.

If you’re into trying something a bit different, the Verb Sculpting Clay is also a good option. It’s more of a clay, but it hydrates and defines your hair well, giving you a natural, no-shine finish. Both of these products are easy to apply and wash out, which is a big plus for daily use. Hope this helps, and let us know what you end up trying!

Hey Ethan, totally agree with what everyone’s been saying about the Zorian and Suavecito pomades. Another one you might wanna check out is the Black Wolf Nation Hair Styling Paste. It gives a super-strong hold and a refined texture, perfect for those high-volume styles. Plus, it’s easy to wash out, which is a big plus. If you’re into a more natural approach, the Verb Sculpting Clay is great too. It hydrates and defines your hair, giving you that no-shine finish you’re after. Both of these options should help you avoid that greasy look while keeping your thick, wavy hair looking polished and styled. Hope this helps!

Thanks, everyone, for your input! I’ll go with Suavecito Pomade for its matte finish and easy washout, and Zorian of New York Classic Pomade for the strong hold and natural finish. Both seem perfect for my thick, wavy hair.

One question: How much product do you usually apply to get the best results without overdoing it?

It sounds like you’ve got a solid plan with Suavecito and Zorian! When it comes to application, start with a small amount—about a dime-sized amount should do it—and warm it up between your palms before working it through your hair. This way, you can gradually build up to your desired hold without overdoing it.

If you find you need more control, try using a bit of water to reactivate the product throughout the day. It can help maintain that fresh look without needing to wash out and reapply. Let us know how it goes with your new routine!
