Pomade
Pomade (; French ''pommade'') or pomatum is a greasy, waxy, or water-based substance that is used to style hair. Pomade generally gives the user's hair a shiny and slick appearance. It lasts longer than most hair-care products, and often requires multiple washes for complete removal. The pomades of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries consisted mainly of bear fat or lard. Lanolin, beeswax, and petroleum jelly have been used extensively in the manufacture of modern pomades. The stiffening properties of pomades make sculptured hairstyles such as the pompadour waves (hairstyle) possible. Origin of the name The English word "pomade" is derived from French ''pommade'' meaning " ointment", itself arising from the Latin ''pomum'' (fruit, apple) via the Italian ''pomata'' or ''pomo'' (meaning "apple"—as the original ointment recipe contained mashed apples). Modern pomades may contain fragrances, but they are usually not particularly fruity. History During the Roman era, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
