Hi! I am in desperate need of a new pomade to tame my long frizzy hair. I had been using Layrite but Im almost out and want to try something else. Im really interested in trying a drugstore brand, something that doesnt break the bank but most importantly works well! Do any of you vintage ladies have any suggestions for me?? Any help is very appreciated!

I have the brand "Got2Be". I haven't used it that much recently since I left it at my parent's home. I think it has a strong smell to it that I don't care for much, but it is relatively cheap and I got it at my local CVS. It still did what it was supposed to though.

Here is a great pomade products blog The Rebel Rouser http://therebelrouser.wordpress.com/ Been wondering about a pomade and what works. The Rebel Rouser's bolg is the perfect place to get true answers on which pomade works the best. You can also check out his youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/THEEReb...=&gl=US&hl=en&app=desktop&persist_app=1&guid=
Even though its mainly all about styling a guys hair into a killer pomp. I found Rebel Rouser's advice very helpful. There is a product review for a great pomade here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNEcPLSIh2I this company makes a pomade for both men and women. Next to Layrite Schmiere Pomade is awesome. I've been using the women's brand of Schmiere Pomade off and on for a month, along with layrite pomade, Schmiere Pomade works even better at toning down major hair frizz. Plus I use less hair spray whenever I use Schmiere Pomade. And when I style my hair into victory rolls my hair rolls up quick and easy without any teasing. I adore the smell of Schmiere Pomade too it smells just like strawberry ice cream. A little goes a long way when applying the pomade to your hair. In reading the Rebel Rouser's blog and watching his youtube I finally realized after all this time I've been using pomade wrong. Now I have the know how to using pomade the right way. You can get Schmiere Pomade here http://www.pomade-shop.eu/epages/61591627.mobile/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61591627/Products/34001 granted it cost more then the Layrite pomade but I noticed I use less pomade when ever I use Schmiere to me its worth every penny, with layrite I have to pyle on the pomade in order for it to work and I have thin course wavy hair. I will say the only bad thing about Schmiere Pomade is when water hits the pomade it does flake. I never get that when I use Layrite pomade. Still I like Schmiere more even though I'll end up washing my hair more often then I usually do. Like the Rebel Rouser says not every pomade works the same on every person also where you live will have an effect on the pomade too.
