Hair Pomades

Our hair pomades collection offers versatile styling options for achieving definition, shine and long-lasting hold. Whether you prefer a polished look, a textured finish or classic shaping, pomades provide controlled styling without stiffness. These products pair well with grooming essentials such as hair brushes and combs for finishing and smoothing.

What Are Hair Pomades?

Hair pomades are styling products designed to provide medium-to-strong hold with either a shiny, matte or natural finish. Unlike gels, pomades do not harden or flake, allowing the hair to remain flexible and easily restyled throughout the day. Pomades are favoured for classic styles such as side parts, quiffs, slick-backs and textured waves, and they suit a wide range of hair types and lengths.

Benefits and Features of the Welzo Hair Pomades Collection

  • Flexible styling: Allows reshaping and touch-ups throughout the day.
  • Shine or matte options: Choose the level of gloss that suits your style.
  • Long-lasting hold: Keeps styles in place without dryness or stiffness.
  • Ideal for textured looks: Enhances separation and definition.
  • Water-based varieties: Easy to wash out and less likely to cause build-up.
  • Suitable for all hair types: Works well on straight, wavy, curly or coily hair.

Why Are Hair Pomades Important?

Pomades offer a level of styling control that is difficult to achieve with other products. They provide a smooth, workable consistency that allows precise shaping and long-lasting definition, making them ideal for both everyday looks and more polished, structured styles. They also help reduce frizz and keep flyaways under control, particularly when used alongside hydrating categories like hair serums.

How to Use Hair Pomades

  • Start with a small amount and warm it between your palms.
  • Apply to slightly damp or dry hair for best results.
  • Work through the hair from root to tip for even distribution.
  • Use a comb for sleek styles or your fingers for a textured finish.
  • Add more product gradually if stronger hold is needed.
