As you know, my hair is curly. Recently though, as my hair has gotten longer & longer, I have been feeling like the weight is turning my curl into more of a wave. Today's product, the Black and White Pluko Hair Dressing Pomade * has done a lot to change this!

At first I was nervous abut using a pomade on my hair – it's different to anything I've ever used before!My husband got excited when it arrived so I asked him to try it too so we could have a man's point of view amongst all the oestrogen!

For those of you who don't know (& I didn't until Dan explained it!), a pomades can either be water or wax based. This particular pomade is a wax based. What defines a pomade from a wax is that most waxes dry to a solid, where as a pomade remains flexible, something I really like!

Let's start with my husband:

On the first day Dan used the pomade we went to his parents house. His Mum hadn't even said hello when she came out with "Your hair looks lovely Dan! Very defined!" A compliment from Dan's Mum is high praise. Not because she rarely gives praise, but because she has exceptional taste!

Dan said: "It's good"

Me: "Can you give me any more than that?"

Dan: "No, I like it."

Me: "Ok…"

Dan: "I do find it stickier that wax"

Me: "Oh, that's funny, I don't at all!"

Dan: "Yeah, I have to wash my hands after using it"

Me: "See, I don't at all"

My thoughts:

I was unsure about this product, expecting it to be waxy in texture & consistence. I was pleasantly surprised when I didn't have to dig my hand into the tub forcefully to get any product into my hands. I found the scent a little odd when I initially used it. It went after a few minutes & is now something I barely notice. If you've read my post on the Umberto Giannini Curl Friends Jelly, you'll know that I have felt my hair lacking in definition as it has gotten longer. The Black and White Pomade took the definition of my hair one step further than the jelly – I had my first ringlet since my days of short hair! I REALLY loved this! It holds my curls so well that it has allowed me to style my hair one day & wake up the next morning & be able to tie it up without crazy frizz for the first time! Saying this, the pomade doesn't de-frizz my hair as well as some other products have done. I've come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as defined curls & no frizz. I think this product may just be the happy medium for my hair. So far, despite my heavy handedness, I have't put too much product on my hair.

Winner of  Hair Magazine Awards Best High Street Wax on a number of occasions, the Black and White Pluko Hair Dressing Pomade is available in Tesco, Sainsbury's, Superdrug and Boots for £4.95.
