When it comes to looking groomed, gorgeous and hot, women have some competition now. Yes! Today's metrosexual men want to look as appealing as any woman. And they are willing to put in all kinds of efforts to do the same! The result? Mushrooming of men's salons all over the place and the market flooded with all kinds of cosmetics, especially aimed at men!
When we talk of men's cosmetics, hair styling products are the most sought after by them. Hair styling products such as hair wax, hair gels, hair mousse, pomade, etc. are used by many men as they ensure that they do not ever have a bad hair day! These hair care products provide a good hold to the men's hairstyles, thus keeping them from getting messy throughout the course of the day. But which one of these hair styling products is the best? For all those men who are confused as to which one - hair wax or pomade to go in for, given below is a comparison between the two.
Pomade
If you have ever used a pomade, then you would know that the shine and luster that they lend to the hair is unparalleled. They make the hair a bit greasy and thus are the right choice for all men who have dry hair. If you look at the ingredients of a pomade, most of them are made up of mineral oil, wax and petroleum jelly. From these very ingredients, a pomade gets its hair moisturizing, nourishing and hair care qualities. You would be surprised to know that as pomades contain beeswax, many hair wax manufacturers in the market are actually selling hair wax under the name pomade! As it is there is not much difference between the two!
Hair Wax
For those of you looking for a hair styling product that can hold a hairstyle, wax is your answer. Hair wax can keep the hair in place for a longer time as it provides it with a better hold. That's why, wax certainly wins hands down, especially for people with oily hair as pomade can increase the greasiness in their hair even more! A drawback of hair wax is that it does not get easily distributed in the hair. In fact, you would need to first of all make it a little warm in between your palms before applying it to your hair for styling. Another problem with hair wax is that it may dry out the hair after a few hours of application, as unlike a pomade it does not contain oil.
Which is Better?
If you compare the two, the main difference between hair styling wax and hair pomade is that a hair wax is dry, at the same time provides a better hold, thus making it perfect for hairstyles like spikes in which the hair stands on the head. On the other hand, pomade may not provide a hold like hair wax, but in the long run, can keep the hair healthy looking due to the presence of oils in it. So, if you have a hairstyle in which the hair simply lies flat on the head, go in for a pomade.
One more area where a hair wax scores over a pomade is - wax can be easily removed with a single shampoo wash. On the other hand, a pomade is so greasy that it takes a number of washes or a de-greaser such as lemon juice and olive oil to take it out of the hair. Thus, from the convenience of use point of view, wax is better!
As you can see, both these hair styling products have their pluses and minuses. I hope the comparison above will help you make an informed decision with regards to your hair styling needs!
