Be As Greasy As You Want To Be

Let's face it; whether you wear a pompadour, have a flat-top with the sides long (a.k.a., fenders), have a D.A. or have Baby-Bangs (we all love Bettie), you need pomade. Some people like the Dippity Doo kind of gel or mousse, which dries to a crispy or bullet-proof helmet. That's all well and good, if you intend on forgetting your Kevlar hat, before you dive into the trenches, but you have to wash out all that clear glue before you comb it back to Done.

I have made my own pomade, which I have used for 4 or so years now. I do not use any petroleum products to make my Greasy Tiki Pomade. The natural ingredients I use to make my pomade are food-grade, and organic, if at all possible. The first batches I made were incredibly stiff, so I referred to that as the Cadaver-Hold strength. What I use now, you don't have to heat with the blow-drier or put on the heater to melt before using. You just scoop out about a dime-sized portion, rub it between your palms and apply it as you would your usual product.

It's not water-soluble, so the rain won't make you melt or get your duds all gluey. It will get you through a weekender or whatever, without having to wash it all out and start over; just run the comb through it and go, go, go.

My pomade is in 3-ounce cans, which last a month or two, depending on how much you use and greasy you wear your hair. Who knows, if you really wear it slick and smoothed to a high-gloss, you may use more. Start out with a smaller amount, to see just how greasy you want to be.
