The Best Pomades Will Keep Your Hair Locked In
This water-based pomade gives you that super eye-catching shine and a grip that won't budge, but it doesn't make your hair feel like a helmet. It's touchable and reworkable by day's end with a damp hand, but doesn't poof or steer out of place until then, either. The pomade works wonders on its own, but you can also use it in addition to your regular paste or cream whenever you need a boost of hold or shine.
Overall, Blind Barber’s 101 Proof is suitable for the workplace and for everyday wear. If what you’re going for is a Danny Zuko Greased Lightning look, you’ll be better off with our pick for best strong hold and high shine pomade, which is the only oil-based pomade on our list.
