I appreciate the fact that he actually puts in the time to review products and is simply just very thorough with everything. All that aside, he's got some of the worst examples of what pomp should look like.
You just got a new sub from everything you said between 02:02-02:22 because I swear man there was one video I looked up, and I'm glad I cant even remember the name of it, but these guys had blow dryers, multiple special combs/brushes, trimmers, and whatever else. Long story short, by the end of the video I told myself a Pomadour is NOT the hair style for me--if this is really what it takes to create it lol. Plus, I like the part at the end where you finish the style off with your fingers--I do exactly the same thing. The style with the comb finish has never really looked good on me, and I know that now lol. Good job man. I don't have hours, or even multiple minutes some days, to just style my hair lol
I've been using American Crew forming cream for the longest time. I needed to blow dry my hair, use a prestyler, and it hurt like hell to put it and and most of the time I needed hair spray to keep it from fucking up during the day. I just switched to pomade and I will never go back. Pomades are sooo nice and they make my hair look amazing. and that's using shitty dove pomade from the drugstore. can't wait to start using crystal lake. great videos! keep up the "No Bullshit", I wish everyone worked that way.
This was a great video, thank you. I'm glad you did this without a blowdryer and stuff. This seemed really simple and leaves little room for errors. thanks. Plus no heat damage!
Man you should try Morris Motley Treatment Styling Balm with that haircut. so light, firm hold, matte finished, great for handcombing. Yes it is pricy but is a must try at some point.
Styling my hair with Fire and Brimstone clay right now! My pomp is looking amazing. That pull the comb out and layer tech works amazing for me. Also, I have thick, thick hair. I can’t get the product to my scalp if I tried. Maybe bring someone on the channel who has really, really thick hair and show us styling a pomp with his hair. Mines super thick so I feel I have to use prestyler a and a blow dryer.
James (or anyone willing to help) what water based pomade would you recommend to me for my thick, straight Hispanic hair? My hair reaches just a bit past the top of my eyebrows. My hairstyle is a combover with a pomp in the front (I'm really not sure what the actual style is called but you know what I mean). I've tried uppercut deluxe pomade but the hold is too much for me, it leaves my hair feeling hard and it starts to frizz if I restyle it. I'd like something where itll leave my hair sort of soft, no frizz, and with volume, especially in the front. Sorry for the long read.
yo pomp! I like your straight forward approach to styling your hair with no bullshit. Although I've been looking into using grooming sprays. Would you recommend or just stick to the simple approach. Thanks for the cool video!
the sprays are to maintain the hold. his opinion is that his hair gel should do that for him. that's why he uses no bs lol the pomade is supposed to cover everything. hair spray is great if you have the spare time.
i understand your view on not using blowdryers but for my hair, its not essentail although it sure as hell makes styling my hair easier. i have super flat straight hair and i just dont have time to wait for my hair to air dry, but with a blowdryer, i get a bunch more volume and obviously drys my hair quick. i dont use pre stylers or roller brushes arw anything like that. shits for coo coo heads
Yea same here, I get so much more volume when I blow dry. It's so much easier for me to blow dry minutes after I shower, rather than waiting an hour for my hair to dry.
My hair has a crazy wave in the front right (I part on the left) I have tried so many methods and products but can never seem to control it and usually have to comb the shit out of my hair just to attempt at containing it.. but this usually results in my hair looking very flat.. any tips?
That's your problem you're trying to fight the natural wave and shape of your hair. Use a stronger product try grim grease, blackship or even Rex Wax pomade
Sergio Araiza yeah man no problem I was wondering that to a long time ago but I found it and bought it really good you should get it he wrote about it in his website
Anybody that have tried out Truefitt and hill pomade or styling wax? Wanna try something new and havent seen any reviews on the internet. Would apreciate some help! :)
You say you don't use hairdryers and think it's not needed. That's fine, but what if you wake up every morning with witch hair. I have to then wet it and for me not to use a hair dryer I'd have to wait like a full hour for it to naturally dry.
Really respect your view, but what about us curly haired motherfuckers. We do sometimes have to reach for the blowdryer as much as I would not want to. Great vid nonetheless.
Eeriewolf haha I actually do:), but when I have medium lenght hair (also on the sides and back) pomade only won't do the job:(, but having a similar haircut like astreetcarnamedbacon will mostly be easier in terms of taming the curls.
+Alex Dayem he was referring to short hair on top where the hair strands don't go all the way back.His sides are short but his top is still at that length to have the strands go all the way back
Good hair doesn't come from a jar. The question is, do you want quick hair or nice hair? Sure a strong pomade could hold down a cowlick for a couple hours but a blow dryer can make sure a cowlick/pomp/hairstyle stays that way instead of forcing it(hair lays better when its trained to lay a certain way). It's all good if you don't want to use a blow dryer but you're legit wasting peoples money and chipping away at the potential of what their hair can do by acting like a blow dryer wont help. Having them try all these products that promise that they can do all of these things when the reality is most hairstyles can be achieved with water a blow dryer and a tiny bit of product. A blow dryer can do wonders, many if not all barbers/hairstylists know this and I encourage anyone who actually cares about their hair to seriously ask your barber or hairstylist about it. A cheap blow dryer, comb and a jar of pomade is essential cheaper than investing in a bunch of pomades trying to find the "perfect one". Please educate yourselves

Man finally a channel that teaches a hairstyle WITHOUT a blow dryer. I mean, who's got time to blow dry right??
Lmao, it took me 10 mins to blowdry at the morning
fuck blow dryers
Not me that’s for damn sure
I like how straight forward you are. I recently got a fade myself and this video really helped. U got my subscription
Stingy fix tips
You won my respect when you said "bullshit" subscribed...

I have really wavy/curly hair so I have to use a blowdryer & brush, sometimes even a straightening iron if I want a nice slick back undercut
same lol
Same lol = xàm lồn
this helps a lot I used to suck at combing my pomp but now I can do it and it looks good thank you
James, would love a video regarding your moustache!
Styling the crown of the head is what I would like to see with this style as my crown is thinning and I want it to be covered. Enjoyed your video.
This was a great video, thank you. I'm glad you did this without a blowdryer and stuff. This seemed really simple and leaves little room for errors. thanks. Plus no heat damage!

What product u recommend for a strong matte hold . Water based
try blowdrying the sides down and shape thetop too , helps alot

How long is his hair?
How does your hair stay down I tired everything
what sides do you have?
How longs the top
Hello James, i have a very important a question about pomades in general. Do pomades have a approximate shelf life?
i understand your view on not using blowdryers but for my hair, its not essentail although it sure as hell makes styling my hair easier. i have super flat straight hair and i just dont have time to wait for my hair to air dry, but with a blowdryer, i get a bunch more volume and obviously drys my hair quick. i dont use pre stylers or roller brushes arw anything like that. shits for coo coo heads
+The Adrian but what pomades are you using that needs to "air dry"
Yea same here, I get so much more volume when I blow dry. It's so much easier for me to blow dry minutes after I shower, rather than waiting an hour for my hair to dry.
do you use some special comb to that?? or just any ordinary comb?? do you ever post a video about your comb??
Daniel Suhendra he uses a ion dressing comb
You're the man bro
Can someone give me an estimate on the length of his front hair and back hair. I'd love to know because I wanna be able to form a pomp!
what pomade is good for fine hair ?
watch his reviews. or his best of 2015. shear revival is great. (:
Nice vid, how do u make your hair grow fast
This might be a stupid question but What type of fade is that
Low drop fade
I like your hair what kind of cut is that?
My hair has a crazy wave in the front right (I part on the left) I have tried so many methods and products but can never seem to control it and usually have to comb the shit out of my hair just to attempt at containing it.. but this usually results in my hair looking very flat.. any tips?
That's your problem you're trying to fight the natural wave and shape of your hair. Use a stronger product try grim grease, blackship or even Rex Wax pomade
+The Pomp what kind of comb is he using???
Cricket silk comb pro 30 i think
Sergio Araiza a ion dressing table comb
Luke Zeus thanks bro
Luke Zeus thanks bro
Sergio Araiza yeah man no problem I was wondering that to a long time ago but I found it and bought it really good you should get it he wrote about it in his website
So for the sides,just want to confirm that it’s a “drop fade” style I should ask for?
Also what number of fade is yours?
Starts at skin
what's that shirt?

+Tech Master all
If my fringe is not as Long as yours, can I still be able to style this?
Gerald Tym yes but it will be shorter
I noticed that when you would fix the sides of your forehead it would lose it's shape which kinda sucks.
Anybody that have tried out Truefitt and hill pomade or styling wax? Wanna try something new and havent seen any reviews on the internet. Would apreciate some help! :)
+Kevin Zhou nothing special
supernice

let's play a game: take a shot every time he says stuff like thay
my nigga I aint even gonna trip, dat asian noodle told it like bitch times in this video for real my nigga
Looking like you're on the list, with that mustache..
review uppercut monster
Darian Pineda that stuff is trash overpriced factory made garbage
a mustache makes your creepier and this is not a pomp
The Pomp King it is. A pomp what are you talking about
Christian Ramirez that its not a pomp a pomp has forward shape not slightly puffed up and pulled back
The Pomp King not all pomps are rockabilly
Never said they were but a pomp is a forward or straight up hairstyle anything else its a slickback
I wish you showed a 360 degrees. You didn't show the back
You should go for a different hairstyle like an undercut or something one day.. Mix it up yu know?
Kool haircut bro, but yeah, drop the Ron Jeremy stach. Doesn't suit you. Just saying.
You look like 40 years old with that style! 😅
I think you did this just so you can show off 3 ;)
Was this a jojo reference?
666 likes, i almost ruined it
Clearly your asian.. So what do you say to your barber how to cut your sides and back if your in an asian country? Simpliest way to say it pls.
