Is Pomade Bad for Your Hair?

While pomade may be an effective styling tool, many people have wondered, is pomade good for your hair? These are some of the benefits of using pomade to style your hair:

• Pomade provides a long-lasting hold, making it a great product to use when you are hoping to achieve a specific style.
• Pomade has been a traditional hairstyling product that has been used for decades, so most people consider it very reliable.
• Pomade can help keep your hair moisturized and prevent it from becoming too dry.

As with anything, there are a few downsides to consider:



• Pomade is very thick, and it can be difficult to rinse out of your hair.
• Depending on what your pomade is made of, it can leave a greasy residue on your hands, your sheets, your furniture and your clothes.

Fortunately, pomade does not cause hair loss. Some people who use a lot of hair products worry that they may be causing their hair to fall out, but there is no research that directly links the use of pomade to excess hair loss.

Hair loss, however, can be caused by a variety of factors, including:



• Family History — An individual who has a family history of pattern baldness or a receding hairline is going to be at a much higher risk for hair loss, regardless of the types of hair products that they use. Genetic factors are one of the most common causes of hair loss.
• Environmental Factors — Environmental factors, such as exposure to certain types of chemicals or a specific work environment, can have an impact on hair loss. It does not usually cause hair loss, but it can exacerbate the current rate of hair loss.
• Stress — Stress is another common cause of hair loss. A person who is suffering from chronic stress will often experience hormonal disruptions, which can lead to hair loss. In most cases, stress-related hair loss is temporary, but there are some cases where people do suffer from long-term, permanent hair loss as a result of stress.
• Autoimmune Conditions — There are some autoimmune conditions that result in hair loss, such as Alopecia Areata. Alopecia Areata is a condition that can be diagnosed in both adults and children, and it leads to permanent hair loss on the entire body. There is no cure for this condition.
