Let's talk about the challenge of men's hair—styling it can be trickier than herding cats. But fear not! With the right hair potions, even the wildest hairstyles can be tamed into something presentable. Here are some essential information about the best men’s hair styling products like pomades and pastes to turn your hair from wild beast to charming mop.

What is Pomade?

Pomade, also known as 'grease pomade' or 'hair dressing,' isn't just your average goop for your hair—it's the slick operator of the hairstyling world. Want that hair slicked back like you just stepped out of a 1920s speakeasy? The Bearded Mack’s got your back! We offer one of the best men’s hair styling products with our wax cream pomade (unorthodox water-based pomade).

Many brands and individuals use the term "pomade" to refer to any hair styling product. This has led to the launch of products labeled as "clay pomades" and "wax pomades," which are not true hybrids but simply clays or waxes. There are even matte pomades available, which can be confusing.

Traditionally, a hair pomade provides a medium to high shine and a medium to strong hold. The key feature that sets pomade apart from other hair products is usually the shine.

To understand pomades better, it's important to know that they come in two categories:

• Oil-based pomade (Traditional pomades)
• Unorthodox Water-based pomade (Most modern pomades that mix water and waxes)

And here’s the kicker: unlike hair gel or a traditional pomade, our wax cream pomade isn't a clingy ex—it washes off easier than a bad Tinder date when you decide it's time for a new 'do. But hey, a word to the wise: if your hair's already got enough shine to blind pilots, maybe skip the pomade parade—instead try out our new Matte paste instead

Pomade: for when you want to look smooth and stylish without the hassle—or an oily mess on your head!

What is Hair Paste?

Hair paste or matte paste is one of the most versatile hair products available, making it a great choice if you're just starting out and unsure of what to use. Typically water-based, hair pastes are easy to wash out and can help you achieve almost any style on any hair length. They usually provide a low to matte shine and a medium to strong hold.

Hair pastes are thicker than pomades, with a consistency that can range from toothpaste-like to PVA glue-like.

One of the best features of hair paste is its ease of use. Although it may be thick initially, once warmed thoroughly in your hands, it becomes easy to apply to your hair. As it cools and thickens again, it provides a firm hold.

Hair pastes like our new Matte paste aren't just your run-of-the-mill hair helpers—they're the Swiss Army knives of hairstyling. Need a less silky shine and a medium or firm hold? Hair pastes have your back, and they wash off quick when you're ready to rock a new look. Our new matte paste uses Kaolin and Bentonite clays for texture and volume along with Rice Bran wax and Castor Wax for hold.

Remember to Wash Off Hair Care Products

Here's a friendly reminder: always wash off those hair products! Sure, they can work wonders, but leaving them on is like inviting trouble to crash on your scalp. Think hair damage, buildup like a forgotten laundry pile, and maybe even surprise acne—yikes! Do yourself a favor and wash it all away at the end of the day. Your hair and scalp will thank you!
