Black and White Pluko Hair Dressing Pomade 200ml

Product Information

The Pompadour was a cultural phenomenon in the mid-1950s to 1964 and was worn by young actors and those in the new musical genre, Rock and Roll.

During the 2010s, the style was featured in many popular period movies, especially World War II films, and in shows such as Peaky Blinders. In the Early Modern Period, pomades were ointments made from various kinds of fat and used to beautify both the skin and face. Pomade is used to style hair (including mustaches, sideburns, and beards), giving it a darker, slicker, shinier look, and is often associated with the slick men's hairstyles of the early to mid-20th century. With celebrity fans such as supermodel Linda Evangelista and Hollywood actors Johnny Depp and Robert Pattinson, Black and White Wax is the quintessential styling product you must have to achieve today’s must covetable looks – male or female.The heavy hold and slick look of pomade is very well suited to control the long hair of most undercut styles. The water-based pomades are split between gel-based pomades (Orthodox) and water-based (Unorthodox) pomades. The English word pomade derives from French pommade, itself from Italian pomata, from pomo (" apple") and -ata, used to form related nouns. In the 1980s, Rockabilly style Rock and Roll and the pompadour had a resurgence and was worn by musicians such as Brian Setzer and Chris Isaak.

Due to the difficulty of washing pomade out of the hair, water-based and water-soluble pomades were introduced to the market and feature fewer wax substances.From the sleek styling of the ’30s to the quiffs of the ’70s, follow us through the decades, with our historical pluko style guides. Traditional oil-based pomades are generally subdivided into three more groups: heavy hold, medium hold, and light hold. Black and White Wax is available from Superdrug, Boots, Tesco and Sainsbury’s so there’s no excuse for you not to be in possession of the best wax in the world! Unlike hair spray and hair gel, pomade does not dry, keeps the hairstyle flexible and can last much longer.

Other English names for the ointment, drink, and hair treatment are pomate and pomatum from pomatum, the Medieval Latin form of the same name. Today's pomades fall under two main categories with some subcategories, the traditional oil-based pomade and the newer water-based and gel pomades. All these products come in various textures and consistencies, and essentially achieve the same effect as either hair wax or pomade.Traditionally, the difference between hair wax and pomade was that pomade gave the hair a slicker, shinier appearance, while wax gave a looser, more texturized and matte finish.
