pomades
Greasy styling products
Pomades are waxy or greasy hair products used to style, slick back, or add shine to hair.
The singular pomade appears more often: He worked the pomade through his hair before combing it back.
Pomades create a glossy, sculpted look associated with vintage styles like the pompadour and slicked-back cuts.
