Shop With Leslie

Pomade is an age-old hair styling product used for many purposes.  These include creating and maintaining waves, locs, and twist styles.  Pomades are also used to add shine, moisturize, nourish the hair and scalp, lengthen curl patterns, and hold styles in place.  Pomades from black owned brands are plentiful including those for wet and dry hair.  In reviewing products on Shop With Leslie, I found most were free of petroleum, and contained nutrient rich ingredients such as coconut oil and Shea butter.  Though pomades are used on many hair types, some pomades were designated for men.  You will find 20+ pomades.  See the companies below for more information.
