If your hair is more on the finer, oilier side, matte pomade is a good option. It won't weigh your hair down. If you have thicker, coarser, curlier hair, a lotion or gloss-based pomade will work best since it will be easier to disperse throughout your hair.

QuestionDo I have to use a blow dryer?Ashley Adams is a Licensed Cosmetologist and Hair Stylist in Illinois. She completed her Cosmetology education at John Amico School of Hair Design in 2016.No, you don't need to use a blow dryer with pomade. In fact, your hair should be slightly damp when you apply the pomade. You can then allow your hair to air dry the rest of the way. If you use a hard pomade, heating it with a blow dryer will make it easier to use, but you do not need to use the blow dryer if you don't want to.

QuestionHow often should I use pomade?Community AnswerYou can use pomade as often as you would like. For oil-based pomades though, it is suggested that you take a day off every week to let your scalp breathe. If you experience dry scalp, take a few days off, or use a water-based product.

QuestionCan I wash pomade off after using it?Community AnswerA water-based pomade is supposed to come off very easily with water, but an oil-based one will take at least 2 shampoo washes to come off. Most oil pomade users don't want to completely remove it after every use, and only degrease their hair once a week. This is a common method and not harmful nor dirty, good oil-based pomades have natural ingredients.
