WHAT DOES POMATUM MEAN IN ENGLISH?

pomatum

Pomade

Pomade is a greasy and waxy substance that is used to style hair. Pomade makes hair look slick, neat and shiny. Unlike hair spray and hair gel, pomade does not dry, and often takes several washes to remove. It can easily be removed using a high-detergent shampoo or other de-greasers such as dishwashing liquid and/ or using olive oil or oily shampoo and rinsing with warm water. Pomade is commonly used with Afro-textured hair to keep it from getting dry.
