I'd never use the modern pomades or water-soluble gels- I think Layrite is a good choice-people have said it has the heaviest wax hold but washes out easy because it's water-based. Did not using pomade change your hair type? I've been going for a few days without it and mine is lighter and less thick, might not even need a heavy pomade to control my afro.s_crumb said:So I've taken several days off from using pomade. Complete change in my hair. It's no longer falling out. That's a plus. The downside is I have been using Axe-something-or-other and it's got crap hold.
It's almost as if the real pomade was irritating my scalp and caused my hair to fall out. That's too bad. I really liked pomade.
I'm assuming that the issue is the wax clogged my pores. Do we have a consensus on whether or not the water-soluble stuff is worth the money? I believe Layrite is the only water-soluble stuff I've seen.
I only wear my hair slicked back. I wouldn't be opposed to other options like Brylcreem or Groom and Clean but from over here....it takes forever to get here and shipping. So I'm trying to decide Layrite or Brylcreem....any thoughts?
