Best Kent Combs for Wolf’s Head Pomades – Clay, Styling Gel, Water-Soluble & Cream
Kent Combs & Pomades: What’s the Best Match for Your Hair?
The right pomade gives your style hold and finish — but the right comb makes it last. Kent combs are world-renowned for their craftsmanship, and when paired with Wolf’s Head pomades, they deliver barbershop-quality results at home. In this guide, we’ll break down which Kent comb is best with each pomade — from Clay Pomade to Styling Gel Pomade — and how to use them together for maximum results.
Why Choosing the Right Comb Matters
A quality Kent comb doesn’t just move product through your hair — it ensures even distribution, prevents damage, and defines the style. Pairing the right comb with the right pomade can mean the difference between a collapsing hairstyle and one that holds all day.
Wolf’s Head offers four professional-grade pomades: Clay Pomade, Cream Pomade, Water-Soluble Pomade, and Styling Gel Pomade. Below, we’ll explore which male combs to use with each type.
Best Comb & Pomade Combo for Thick Hair
Thick hair requires control and durability. Using the right pomade with a sturdy Kent comb helps lock in the look:
- Clay Pomade + Kent A FOT Pocket Comb — Matte finish and separation, with fine-tooth control.
- Styling Gel Pomade + Kent KFM3 Men's Gel Brush — Specifically designed for men using styling products.
- Water-Soluble Pomade + Kent A 20T Folding Comb — Strong hold, shine, and smooth product distribution for heavy hair.
Best Comb & Pomade Combo for Fine Hair
Fine hair benefits from lightweight pomades and combs that add shape without flattening:
- Clay Pomade + Kent R7T Pocket Comb — Matte grit for volume, with dual fine- and coarse-tooth control.
- Cream Pomade + Kent 14T Rake Comb — Medium hold styled gently without flattening fine hair.
How to Use Pomade with a Kent Comb
- Prep your hair: Start with towel-dried or blow-dried hair depending on the desired finish.
- Apply the right amount: Use less for fine hair, more for thick hair.
- Distribute evenly: Warm the pomade in your palms, then spread through your hair.
- Comb through: Use a Kent comb to set the shape, part, or slick back.
- Finish: Add extra product only where needed, then lock the look with final combing.
How to Wash Out Pomade
All Wolf’s Head pomades are water-based, so they rinse clean without heavy buildup. Here’s how to wash out pomade properly:
- Rinse with warm water: Loosens pomade for easy removal.
- Use shampoo: Choose sulfate-free to avoid dryness.
- Massage well: Focus on roots where buildup collects.
- Rinse completely: Ensure no residue remains.
- Condition: Follow up with conditioner for balanced moisture.
Extra Tip: With Styling Gel Pomade, you can restyle during the day by reactivating with water. It washes out effortlessly after a long day.
FAQs About Kent Combs & Pomades
Which Kent comb is best for slick backs?
The Kent Slim Jim paired with Styling Gel Pomade delivers the cleanest, longest-lasting slick back.
What’s the best pomade for volume?
Clay Pomade paired with a coarse-tooth Kent comb or Vented Paddle Brush creates texture and lift in fine hair.
Do all Kent combs work with every pomade?
Yes — but using different tooth widths enhances results. Fine-tooth combs sharpen definition, coarse-tooth combs help distribute product evenly.
Are Kent combs better than plastic combs?
Yes. Handmade Kent combs have polished teeth that glide through hair without scratching the scalp or breaking strands.
Final Word
The right Kent comb brings out the best in every pomade. Pair Clay Pomade or Cream Pomade with coarse-tooth combs for texture and fullness, while Water-Soluble Pomade and Styling Gel Pomade shine when used with fine-tooth combs.
