The Art Of Pomade- The Avenue Men’s Magazine Winter 2014 Sneak Peak

Editors Note: The complete article is featured on the double cover in The Avenue Men’s Magazine Winter 2014. 

In the 4th century Sun Tzu wrote The Art Of War that detailed theories and strategies in sun-tzuwarfare. The title of the book indicates that warfare is to be intellectual and calculating. Ironically the book is used in universities and CEO/leadership trainings to understand conflict and strife with the goal of overcoming adversaries.

The men’s grooming industry is in a major boom, $4.7 billion in 2009 U.S., and products are hitting the market at an alarming rate but water-based pomades in particular are making a deep impact. Many pomade companies have cordial relationships but I have observed their conflict and strife with scenarios that seem to be ripped right out of The Art Of War. Case in point, the cover shot for this article received some “concerned” feedback because certain pomades were stacked on top of others, as if, there was a hierarchy or supremacy. In truth, the pomade stack is indicative Pomade stack cover burgandy lo resof the products existence, i.e. Layrite was first and that is why they are on the bottom, not because they are inferior. I have heard stories of conflict due to using the same manufacturers and company espionage that will not be indulged.

Before I delve into the subject of pomade a historical examination is necessary. Hair products can be traced back to 3,500 years ago when Egyptians were using a fat based product to style their hair. The word pomade dates back to the 1500’s with roots in French- pommade, Latin- pomatum.  Both languages have the same etymological root of pom- fruit, apple, which was the basic or main ingredient but in modern terms, the word pomade denotes hair ointment. Pomades origin may be in fat based products and fruit but has evolved into a water-based booming industry……….

Product Review: JS Sloane Lightweight Pomade

Gents,

What happens when two friends, since the 80’s, get together and unite their love for the silver screen and long for the days when Gentlemen were well groomed? A company that has raised the bar in the grooming industry is born. More specifically, JS Sloane is creating modern quality-grooming products that are nostalgic. I received a sample of their water-based Lightweight Pomade for review and I am impressed.

The aluminum can looks like something you would have expected to find in a barbershop in the 1940’s, thin and sleek with the label placed on the lid. The label is interesting because there is a dapper looking Gentleman in gold. The paper label looks vintage and is not a cheap sticker. The words on the label read, “Keeps Hair Neat All Day”. The can contains 3.4 oz of pomade. JS Sloane has achieved a classic looking can and the label is authentic.

Opening the can is a surprise because most pomade companies use coloring in the product, but JS Sloane is clear. The consistency is very similar to Vaseline and feels very light. The fragrance of the pomade can best be described as “clean-masculine” smelling and does not have the typical almond, coconut, pineapple and Hawaiian scents. The fragrance is noticeable all day long and is not overpowering.

After scooping out some product I broke it down in my hand (rub between palms). I applied the product into damp hair and worked it in. I believed the product would not have a strong hold due to the “light” feel and the ease in which it worked through my hair. I began to style my hair, which is pretty thick and gets a bit wavy when long, and I was able to achieve a slick back and a business man’s (side part with slight pomp). The pomade worked easily and spread evenly throughout my hair without too much work.

The product dries to an astonishingly strong hold. I am impressed because it is their lightweight and they have a medium weight and heavy weight! JS Sloane claims the pomade “has a firm, but flexible feel and hold” and I agree 100% It may seem impossible to have hold and flexibility but their lab has nailed it. This product has a stronger hold than Suavecito and Layrite. The finish is semi-sheen and looks perfect! It washes out easily and cleanly.

Looking over the press kit JS Sloane provided it becomes apparent that they are ready to make a new path in the grooming industry with elegance and quality products. All of the materials have a classic look and are not recycled clichés. The packaging is designed for the modern gentleman. The product is great and will be one of the two pomades I use. It not only pays homage to vintage Hollywood but also redefines it for modern Gentlemen. Great job Joann and Smutty!
