REF Pomade

Strong-hold styling pomade with a high-gloss, sleek finish

Pomade N°550 from REF is a strong-hold styling paste with a smooth, gel-like consistency that works through hair without dragging. The formula sets hair into classic sleek shapes — comb-overs, slick-backs, side parts — and tames flyaways with a polished, high-gloss finish rather than a matte cast. Built on a water and silicone hybrid base with PVP and VP/VA Copolymer hold polymers, it stays workable on application and locks into shape once styled. The 85ml jar is the everyday format for daily use.

Why Choose It?

• Strong hold that keeps classic styles — slick-backs, side parts, comb-overs — in shape through the day
• High-gloss, sleek finish rather than a dry matte cast
• Smooth gel-like texture spreads through hair without dragging or flaking
• Silicone smoothing layer (Cyclopentasiloxane and Dimethicone) flattens flyaways and adds shine
• 100% vegan formula per the REF brand line
• 85ml jar — practical everyday size for daily styling

Best For

Short to mid-length hair that needs strong hold with a polished, glossy finish — classic men's styles like slick-backs, side parts and comb-overs, plus controlled women's updos and pulled-back looks. Best on dry or towel-damp hair.

For a complete REF styling routine, wash first with a matching REF shampoo before styling.

• Take a small amount — roughly a coin-sized dose for short to mid-length hair.
• Warm the paste between palms until it spreads smoothly.
• Work through dry or towel-damp hair, distributing evenly from roots to ends.
• Shape with fingers or a comb into the desired style — slick-back, side part, comb-over or controlled texture.
• Add more as needed for stronger hold or higher shine.

Tips

• Start with less than you think — build up gradually rather than overload the strand.
• Apply to dry hair for maximum hold and definition; apply to damp hair for a wetter, glossier look.
• On thicker or coarser hair, warm the dose longer between palms so the paste spreads without clumping.
