Choosing Your Weapon for Hairdom

Men’s grooming has never been more in focus, with hair styling products surging in popularity. It’s no surprise that discussions about hairstyles often pop up when friends gather to chat. For those new to this game, welcome to the world of hair styling. Taking care of your hair isn’t just about looking good - it’s about respecting yourself and those you meet.

Back in the day, it was all about one thing: “applying gel.” But now, the world of hair products is much broader. The most popular options - pomade, wax, and gel - can be overwhelming for beginners. Let’s break them down so you can make smarter grooming choices. 😉

Pomade

Pomade is all about shine. This styling staple comes in two forms: water-based and oil-based.

• Water-based Pomade:Easy to apply, evenly spreadable, and quick to wash out. The only downside? It often lacks strong hold. But modern formulas, like Reuzel Blue - distributed in Vietnam by Barbaard - have leveled up, offering better hold without compromising its classic appeal.

• Oil-based Pomade:High hold, but a pain to wash out. If you’re okay with some effort, this version delivers that timeless, polished look.

Reuzel pomade is now officially distributed in Vietnam through Barbaard.

Pomade pairs perfectly with classic styles like slick backs or pompadours. Its natural shine works wonders for dry hair, offering a neat, touchable look. Plus, restyling with a comb or your fingers is effortless - perfect for long days or spontaneous plans.

Bonus: pomade often comes with rich, warm scents that set it apart from other products.

Wax

If pomade shines in the classics, wax is the all-rounder. Whether you’re aiming for a neat side part, tousled waves, or a wild, textured look, wax gets the job done.

Unlike pomade, wax dries over time, leaving a more matte finish. It’s also helmet-friendly - just run your fingers through your hair, and you’re good to go. Variants like Clay offer extra strong hold, making it a favorite for bold styles like pompadours or slick backs.

Wax comes in a range of shine levels, from matte to high gloss. While it can’t rival pomade’s shine, wax is where versatility reigns. It’s the go-to product for guys experimenting with different looks.

Gel

Ah, gel - the nostalgic hero of our early days. Everyone’s first styling product, gel was the default choice when options were limited.

Gel creates a shiny, rock-solid finish, making it perfect for short, edgy hairstyles. But here’s the catch: once it sets, restyling isn’t an option. Unlike pomade or wax, gel locks your hair in place, and that’s where it stays.

While gel might feel vintage in today’s world of modern products, it still holds a place for those seeking a sleek, rigid look.

Pomade, wax, or gel - each product has its strengths. Choose pomade for a sleek, polished look; wax for versatility and modern styles; and gel for short, sharp cuts with unbeatable hold.

Now, it’s your turn to experiment and find the perfect match for your hair goals. 💇‍♂️
