HOW TO STYLE A LOOSE POMP

If you’re styling a Loose Pomp for the first time, patience is key! This isn’t an easy style to master, the loose pomp can take some effort, but with the right product and tools you’ll have your hair styled in no time.

Get your hair ready to style with a quick wash, clean hair takes to product easier and tends to take shape easier. Wash the hair with a helping of Everyday Shampoo first and then Everyday Conditioner, rinse and dry gently with a towel and you’re pomp ready.

Next, to form the shape of your pomp, lightly spray your hair with Salt Spray. Salt Spray will help add volume and control when blowdrying.

Using your blow dryer at a medium heat, begin to direct your hair backwards. Take your quiff roller and begin brushing your hair into place. To create additional volume, twist your hair into the quiff roller, pull it upwards and hit it with the blow dryer.

Once you’ve achieved the overall shape of your Pomp take a generous scoop of Matte Pomade and work it through your hands. Using Matte Pomade will help add hold, without sacrificing the natural look.

Careful not to ruin your overall shape, gently rake your fingers through your hair. As the product begins to spread, you will be able to increase the pressure in which you apply.

And you’re off! A Loose Pomp ready to go the distance.
