Water Based Pomades – Easy to Wash, Easy to Style | Wolf’s Head
Why Water Based Pomades Are the Best Choice for Easy Styling
All Wolf’s Head pomades are proudly made as water based pomades. That means they’re easy to wash out, easy to style, and built for everyday use. Whether you reach for our Clay Pomade for matte texture or Styling Gel Pomade for high-shine structure, every formula gives you professional results without the hassle of heavy buildup.

The Benefits of Water Based Pomades
Traditional oil-based pomades are tough to remove and leave residue behind. Wolf’s Head water based pomades solve this problem with clean, lightweight formulas that still deliver professional strength. Here’s why they stand out:
- Easy to wash out: Rinse clean with warm water and shampoo — no buildup, no grease.
- Flexible styling: Restyle throughout the day by simply adding a bit of water.
- All-day performance: Strong, reliable hold whether you want matte separation or high-shine structure.
- Versatility: From clay pomades for textured looks to styling gel pomades for slick backs, every product is water based.

How to Use a Water Based Pomade
- Start fresh: Apply to towel-dried hair for shine, or blow-dried hair for matte texture.
- Emulsify: Rub the pomade in your hands until smooth to ensure even distribution.
- Work evenly: Start from the back and move forward to avoid overloading the front.
- Style your look: Use a Kent comb for slick parts and polished shapes, or your fingers for textured styles.
- Restyle anytime: Add a splash of water to reactivate the product during the day.
Why They’re So Easy to Wash Out
Oil-based products stick around. Wolf’s Head water based pomades are built to rinse away in seconds:
- Rinse with warm water: Breaks down the product instantly.
- Shampoo lightly: A sulfate-free shampoo is all you need to remove every trace.
- Condition after: Keep your hair soft and ready for next-day styling.
Extra Tip: Even our extra strong styling gel pomade washes out clean after one rinse, unlike traditional stiff gels.
