    I just switched over to oil base and I found it much more affective for me having very thick hair

    I just started oil based within the last 8 months. Man I'm such a huge fan of oil now. I am in the army and required to wear head gear so that is why I use mostly water based.
    However once I'm out of the Army I plan on using oil all of the time. It feels so good and I feel like my hair grows faster and just feels healthier. If your looking into oil you cannot go wrong with Goon or Gents Grease from Lockharts or Nostalgic Handmade. Oil based is so good

      Taking on and off my head gear is where I’m trying to figure out the right product for me. I’ve used suavecito firme for years but I feel like I’m losing too much hair. What do you suggest?

    I saw people go as far as saying they'd prefer to put petroleum jelly (Vaseline) in their hair rather than water based. Quite ridiculous lol.

    • @eddyk3
      @eddyk3 9 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      I work in a Prison Shop, an Vaseline is one of the most commonly purchased items.
      And not for the reason you might think... inmates use it to style their hair.

    I just feel that a lot of water based are glorified gel...
    There are some that stick out as good water based, but for the most part it's gel. Uppercut deluxe and o'douds are two WB that I like that come to mind...
    Other then that give me grease...

  • @deannorris9793

    I have a question, which I'd be grateful if you or anyone would answer. If I use an oil based pomade for one or two days and I don't wash it out entirely, can I add water based pomades the following days? Was wondering whether the water based pomades would still work as build up on top of the oil based pomade? Also can you mix water and oil based pomades together at the same time? I'm only washing my hair once to twice a week, so was wondering whether I can alternate.

  • @blade11162
    @blade11162 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I love oil based but my hair falls apart after its been combed 30 mins later and i hate constantly recombing. Of course i don't get that from water based it holds solid but no shine you would get and oil based.

  • @carb300
    @carb300 10 ปีที่แล้ว

    Cleared a lot up! I was wondering though, what specific ingredients can you look at to tell whether it's water based or oil based? Just so you can quickly look at the products ingredients and gauge whether you'd like to buy it or not.

  • @Over9000Gingers
    @Over9000Gingers 9 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    I honestly don't give a shit if water solubule pomade isn't real pomade. I want to be able to wash that shit out of my hair everyday. I also don't want to comb my fucking hair away.
    I just want good looking hair, thats all that matters.
    Oil based pomades aren't even real pomades anyways, real pomade was orignally made with apples.
    Seriously its a "To Each His Own"

  • @sensoeirensen
    @sensoeirensen 6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    "waterbased pomades" is pure marketing bs - it's a gel-type product. I tried a lot of them, they're all sh** against real (oilbased) pomades.

  • @KonstantinZander
    @KonstantinZander 7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Okay I am doing something wrong... Even after 7 hair washes, I have the same build up that I had on day one! URGH! Olive oil works to get it out but what on earth am I doing wrong???

  • @tonytskates
    @tonytskates 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @kevinceniceros1690
    @kevinceniceros1690 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    The only problem with Murray's Pomade is that it is HARD to washout. But, on the other hand, I do enjoy using Murray's Pomade. By the way, should I apply it on damp or dry hair?

  • @Botzz28
    @Botzz28 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    What water based product is most like an oil based pomade in the sense of not hardening and crusting ? And is goon grease one of the best oil based pomades?

  • @dylanpotgieter7223
    @dylanpotgieter7223 10 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    i love waterbased pomades, but their sooo more expansive than oilbased. does any one know where to get a cheap good quality waterbased pomade ?

  • @jorgemendez4517
    @jorgemendez4517 9 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Which one provides a harder hold?. I have problems will suavecito (firme). Even if I straighten my hair it ALWAYS end up curling, sooner or later, no matter what. Being more specific im talking about the "end" of my cowlick. I want a straight one, not a curved one.
    Sorry for my English. I hope i explained myself good enough to be understood.

    • @stevenchu4765
      @stevenchu4765 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      +Jorge Mendez well, suavecito firme is already one of the hardest holding products on the market. I think it's the strongest gel pomade. But there are always others you can try. Grim Grease Water Based Heavy is the strongest unorthodox waterbased(it won't harden up like suavecito). Lockhart's Heavy and Tremolo's Ace's High are the strongest wax/oil based pomades.

    • @usernotfriendly
      @usernotfriendly 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Jorge Mendez I concur. You shoud try water-based Grim Grease heavy hold. It's water based, but still greasy and don't wash easily. I've used oil-based all my life prior to that and often had the same problem as you. Grim is the best I've found so far and my hair's easy to reshape during the day if I need to.

      mudassar sultan that's what i use and my family is uneducated about how oil based pomades and they always, always say that I'm not washing my hair or showering right but i am and they're too fucking stupid to understand

  • @murfad
    @murfad 9 ปีที่แล้ว

    using black&white pomade these days. it really doesnt give a good hold. its ok, but i still have a lot of hair standing up and rebelling and i need to comb through my hair every 5 or 10 minutes because the hair is out of shape. also i want "flat" hair, but the pomade automatically gives me some kind of pomp, which i dont want. i do have really thick hair though. will water-based pomades have a better hold, like classic gel?
    in other words: i think i'm looking for a products with a consistency and styleability of a gel, but gives the look of a oilbased pomade. local stores here have soho and vo5

  • @detlefdeclercq8544
    @detlefdeclercq8544 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Not to shade on your video's, but not everything is water-soluble. Oil for example is not water-soluble, because water is a polar molecule, which oil is not. Therefore they cannot form interactions, thus not solute in eachother.

But I'd like to use a product that doesn't go super hard. Can anybody tell me a good product that will hold my hair in place but I can still run my hands through?

    I don't really like water based pomades just because of the dry feeling and the stiffness of it and there really is no such thing as a water based grease or pomade all it is is a selling tactic to attract oil based user's but water pomades are good i just prefer oil based out gives nice sheen hight smell hold i just like it better

    Here's 2 good non retarded questions. 1. People say you need to warm up the pomade between your hands (water based). Other than spreading it evenly on your hands, does that do anything to the pomade to make it grip better to your hair? Is a 4oz jar of pomade 4 ounces of actual pomade or is that the weight of the pomade and container combined?
