Pomade is a popular product that adds shine, hold, and control to your hair. However, its potential goes far beyond hairstyling; its texture, consistency, and properties also make it useful in other areas! From beard grooming to shoe care, there are several applications for this multi-purpose product.
Below are examples of the most creative uses for pomades:
1. Beard Balm
A beard balm works like beard oil in grooming and maintaining your beard. It is typically made from natural oils, butter, and waxes that moisturize the skin and provide styling control. Pomade’s consistency and waxy texture help soften the beard hair and reduce frizz. It also adds a subtle shine.
Not all pomades are suitable as a beard balm. Some brands may contain ingredients that can cause irritation or scents too strong for beard grooming.
2. Brow and Lash Styling
Eyebrows are crucial in framing the face, so they often require maintenance and attention to enhance their appearance. Brow styling shapes and grooms eyebrows to achieve a more awake and put together look. Using pomades helps to fill in sparse areas, define the shape, and create a polished appearance. It also lets you style the brows much easier.
You can experiment to find the best technique and brand for your preferred brow look. Start with a small amount of product and gradually increase when you’re more comfortable.
Some pomades can even be used to help lift and give volume to your eyelashes! All it takes is a small amount, but be sure to not get the pomade in direct contact with your eyes.
3. Nail Art
Many techniques, designs, and materials are used to adorn and decorate fingernails. Utilizing pomades is an unconventional yet ingenious approach to creating nail art. Since they are available in different colors, they can be blended to create ombre or gradient designs. They also allow you to draw fine lines or add small accents to the nails.
Pomades may not have the same durability or longevity as traditional nail polishes. So, we recommend applying a top coat to seal and protect your design.
4. Leather Care and Conditioning
Leather conditioners are specially formulated products that moisturize and replenish the natural oils in the material. Due to its rich texture, pomade is a good alternative to traditional conditioners. However, it’s important to test it on a small area first to ensure it does not discolor or damage the leather.
Different leathers might have varying reactions to pomade conditioning. To be better equipped to maintain a particular item, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions or visit a professional leather care specialist.
5. Shoe Polish
Shoe polish enhances the appearance and condition of leather footwear. It restores shine, covers scuffs and scratches, and adds a protective layer to the leather. It’s available in paste, cream, or liquid form and comes in various colors to match different shoe shades.
Pomades can be an alternative to shoe polish, but they are best suited for occasional or temporary touch-ups rather than long-term maintenance. They may not offer the same deep conditioning and preservation as most shoe polishes. Some pomades may also leave a greasy or sticky residue that could transfer onto other surfaces or fabrics.
