I was told pomade would help my hair issues of my side bangs going chucky and piecy. I have never heard of it before or have any idea how to use it or where to get it. At first I was thinking it was a brand hahah. So any info , maybe with photos would help!

I think we spoke of this before. Since you side bang, I would try Pureology Texture Twist. I use both this and water-based Suavecito on my bangs to keep them on point. Also, a smoothing brush, pin curl clips, beveled flat iron and Kendra or Redken28 hairspray for setting.

Pomade is a styling product that comes in a jar and is either water or oil based. They offer various levels of hold and shine. Vintage style peeps are notorious for using it to keep their pomps and pincurls smooth and in place without separation.

Seeing your pic, I'd aim for the Pureology Texture Twist and check out Cherry Dollface on youtube. She uses it all the time. You can get them online or at most salons. Barber shops have pomade for certain. Hair cuttery, Ulta, lots of salons have Pureology.

I found a video of a stylist using Suavecito Pomade...so even though it is not your hairstyle, she shows exactly how to use it.
Watch "Vintage Waves with Suavecita Pomade" on YouTube
