Here’s how to get the best results for your thick hair when using pomade to style your hair.
Step 1: Start with clean hair (ideally)
Pomade including our Glacial Clay Pomade works best on damp or towel-dried hair. Wash your hair with a gentle shampoo and conditioner to keep it soft and manageable.
Step 2: Start with less product than you think
For thick hair, you will need more product that the usual pea-sized amount, but you still should not over do it. Its always easier to add product than to remove it. Remember to rub the product between your palms to warm it up.
Step 3: Style your hair
After the pomade is evenly distributed, style your hair as desired. Use a comb or brush for a more structured look and to keep frizz away!
Step 4: Add a little heat (if needed)
For extra hold and to seal the pomade in place, heat can be useful! But be careful to not overheat your hair leading to more damage. It is recommended to keep heat at a maximum of 350 degrees Fahrenheit on hair.

Benefits of Using Pomade on Thick Hair
Great for hold
Thick hair often requires a product that offers strong hold to keep styles in place throughout the day. Pomades are great for this and, unlike a gel, won’t leave your hair feeling crunchy. The Glacial Clay Pomade has buildable hold making it easy to customize the result.
Added shine without the flake
When you want lots of shine and hold, most default to a gel. However, gel can give a white cast to your hair which is often confused for dandruff. Pomades will not give you flake.
Frizz control
Thick hair is often more prone to frizz, especially in humid environments. Adding a pomade to your hair routine will help eliminate frizz.
Long lasting hairstyles
Whether you have thin or thick hair, we can all agree we want our hair to last all day. There’s nothing worst than falling hair midday. With a pomade you will not worry about that, you’re hair will stay in place all day.
