The Deep Dive
The number one reason women feel their pixie cut looks greasy or clumpy after applying pomade is improper hand warming.
Scoop a dime-sized amount of paste, place it between your palms, and rub vigorously for 10 seconds until the white wax turns completely clear and warm. Only then should your hands touch your hair.
Most people dive their product-heavy hands straight onto the top front bangs, depositing 80% of the wax right where it weighs hair down.
Always start at the back of the head. Massage the roots around the nape and crown first, then use whatever residual micro-film remains on your fingertips to pinch and twist the front bangs into piecey wisps.

Yes! Use a curl-defining balm rather than dry clay to enhance natural ringlet bounce while keeping the tapered sides and nape tidy.
To maintain crisp architectural lines around the ears and neck, schedule a quick trim every 4 to 6 weeks.
