These legendary pomades not only send your hair and your senses on a journey through time, but also awaken your hairstyle to a seductive elegance.
Murray’s Superior Pomade – The World-Famous Classic in the “100 Years” Design The legendary Murray’s Superior Hair Dressing Pomade in the new “100 Years” design. Since 1926, this American classic has stood for very strong hold, subtle shine and unmistakable barbershop character. Its traditional formula with only a few ingredients controls even thick, curly and unruly hair. Made in the USA by Murray’s – one of the world’s best-known pomade brands. Few hair pomades have influenced the history of classic men’s hairstyles as profoundly as Murray’s Superior Hair Dressing Pomade. Since its introduction in 1926, it has become one of the world’s best-known oil-based pomades. The new “100 Years” design celebrates a century of pomade history and gives the legendary tin a special collectable character. The secret of its success is as simple as it is effective: an exceptionally firm and economical pomade that reliably controls even difficult-to-manage hair. As only a small amount is required, one tin can last for a particularly long time when used sparingly. Hold, Shine and Finish Hold: very strong Shine: low to satin Finish: classic, controlled and flexible Scent: warm, mild and subtly sweet Very Strong Hold Without Hardening Murray’s Superior provides a very strong, long-lasting hold without hardening the hair completely. It reliably controls thick, curly or unruly hair and helps create clearly defined shapes. Unlike gel pomades, the hairstyle remains flexible and can be reshaped at any time with a comb or brush. The hold can be built gradually by applying several small amounts of product. Classic Shine and a Controlled Finish The pomade gives the hair a subtle satin shine that looks polished and emphasises the classic character of the hairstyle. Its shine is more restrained than that of a soft pomade, as Murray’s Superior focuses primarily on hold and control. Murray’s Superior is particularly suitable for: Pompadours: for plenty of volume and dependable stability Slick backs: for a smooth and controlled shape Executive contours: for classic barber styles with a clean silhouette Side parts: for precise lines and long-lasting definition Rockabilly hairstyles: for traditional styles with an authentic pomade finish Thick or curly hair: for particularly strong control Ideal as a Base Pomade Many pomade enthusiasts use Murray’s Superior as a base pomade. Its strong hold provides a stable foundation that can then be combined with a softer pomade. For additional shine or a smoother surface, apply a small amount of Don Draper Men’s Pomade, Sweet Georgia Brown, Murray’s Super Light or Murray’s Hair-Glo over the finished hairstyle. Consistency and Application The honey-coloured Murray’s Superior has an exceptionally firm and slightly sticky consistency. Some pressure is required to scoop it from the tin. The warmth generated between the palms makes the pomade more pliable and easier to distribute through the hair. For even application, begin with a very small amount. Rub it thoroughly between your hands and work it through the hair from the roots to the ends. Add further small amounts gradually if required. The Scent The fragrance of Murray’s Superior is as distinctive as its hold. It is classic, warm and subtly sweet. Many users notice nuances reminiscent of vanilla, caramel and lightly powdery barbershop notes. The scent remains pleasantly understated in the hair and combines well with an aftershave or fragrance. Application Remove a small amount from the tin with your finger and rub it thoroughly between your palms until the pomade becomes slightly more pliable. Work it evenly through dry or slightly damp hair. Applied to dry hair, Murray’s Superior develops its strongest hold. In slightly damp hair, it spreads more easily and produces a little more shine. Shape the desired hairstyle with a sturdy comb or hairbrush. For very thick hair, the closed tin or the removed amount of product can be warmed carefully with a hairdryer before application. Buildup and Restyling Murray’s Superior is ideal for creating a traditional pomade buildup. Some of the product remains in the hair after washing and provides a stable foundation for styling the following day. A little water or a few splashes of hair tonic are often enough to refresh the hairstyle. The hair can then be recombed and finished with a small amount of fresh pomade if required. Washing Out As a traditional oil-based pomade, Murray’s Superior cannot be removed completely with water alone. Thorough removal usually requires several washes with a deeply cleansing shampoo or a dedicated degreasing shampoo. Many traditional pomade enthusiasts deliberately leave some product in the hair and use the remaining buildup for quicker and more stable styling over the following days. The “100 Years” Design To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Murray’s Superior, the iconic metal tin is presented in a special “100 Years” design. The anniversary edition combines the familiar retro appearance with a visible tribute to the remarkable history of this pomade, which has been available since 1926. Packaged in the classic metal tin – now featuring the new “100 Years” design. Made in the USA. Free from colourants and added preservatives.

Murray’s Super Light Pomade – Light Hold and Shine for Dry Hair Murray’s softest traditional pomade provides light, flexible hold and a natural to high shine. Its rich formula with lanolin, coconut oil, mineral oil and aloe vera extract is particularly suitable for dry or dull-looking hair, longer hairstyles and use as a shine-enhancing finish over a firmer pomade. Highly economical and easy to apply. Made in the USA. Murray’s Super Light Pomade is the soft and exceptionally easy-to-use alternative to the legendary Murray’s Superior Hair Dressing Pomade. While Superior is best known for its very strong hold, Super Light provides greater smoothness, movement and shine. Its soft consistency is effortless to scoop from the tin, rub between the palms and work through the hair without pulling. This makes it ideal for beginners, longer hair and anyone who prefers a relaxed, well-groomed pomade look. Hold, Shine and Finish Hold: light Shine: natural to high Finish: smooth, flexible and polished Scent: mild, classic and pleasantly subtle Light Hold and Flexible Control Murray’s Super Light provides a relaxed hold without making the hair stiff or allowing it to harden. It smooths flyaways, visibly reduces frizz and gives the hairstyle a polished shape while preserving natural movement. The hair can be restyled at any time using your fingers, a comb or a brush. Its hold alone is usually not sufficient for particularly precise or high hairstyles. When combined with a firmer pomade, however, Super Light reveals its special strengths. Ideal as a Shine-Enhancing Finish Many traditional pomade enthusiasts use Murray’s Super Light as a topper or finishing pomade. A firmer pomade such as Murray’s Superior or Murray’s X-Tra Heavy is first applied to create the hold and basic shape. A very small amount of Super Light is then smoothed lightly over the finished hairstyle. This gives the hair greater suppleness and a more intense, even shine without significantly reducing the hold already created. For Dry and Dull-Looking Hair The rich formula with lanolin, coconut oil, mineral oil and aloe vera extract helps leave the hair feeling smooth and well groomed. The included oils help smooth rough-looking hair and restore shine to hair that appears dry or dull. Super Light can also be used sparingly on longer hair, dry ends or visible flyaways. Due to its rich formula, it should be applied carefully to fine hair to avoid weighing it down or creating excessive shine. Suitable For Dry or dull-looking hair: for greater suppleness and a polished shine Fine to normal hair: for relaxed styles with light hold Medium-length and long hair: for flexible control and natural movement Slick backs and side parts: for classic hairstyles without strong hold Flyaways and frizz: for smoothing individual sections of hair As a pomade topper: for additional shine over a firmer pomade Ideal for Pomade Beginners Anyone trying a traditional oil-based pomade for the first time will find Murray’s Super Light particularly easy to use. It offers the flexible restylability of a classic pomade but is considerably easier to scoop and distribute than Murray’s firmer products. Very soft consistency Easy application without pulling Light and flexible hold Natural to high shine Economical and versatile Consistency and Scent Super Light has a very soft, smooth consistency and melts quickly when rubbed between the palms. This allows it to be distributed particularly evenly throughout the hair. The scent is mild, clean and classic. It remains pleasantly understated in the hair and can easily be combined with an aftershave or fragrance. Highly Economical Murray’s Super Light is exceptionally economical. For many hairstyles, a fingertip covered with only a thin layer of pomade will be sufficient. Using too much can quickly weigh down fine hair and create a very high shine. Always begin with the smallest possible amount and gradually add more product if required. Application Remove a small amount from the tin with your fingertip and rub it thoroughly between your palms. Work it evenly through dry or slightly damp hair, then shape the desired hairstyle using your fingers, a comb or a brush. Applied to dry hair, the pomade feels grippier and controls flyaways particularly well. In slightly damp hair, it spreads even more easily and produces a more intense shine. When using it as a finishing pomade, spread a very small amount between your palms and gently smooth it over the already styled hair. Washing Out and Buildup As a traditional oil-based pomade, Murray’s Super Light cannot be removed completely with water alone. Due to its soft consistency, however, it can be washed out more easily than Murray’s Superior or X-Tra Heavy. Depending on the amount applied, one thorough shampoo wash will often be sufficient. Heavier buildup may require additional washes. A light amount of remaining product can deliberately be used as a styling foundation for the following day. Packaged in a classic nostalgic metal tin. Made in the USA. Free from colourants and added preservatives. Contents: 85 g Ingredients: Petrolatum Lanolin Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil Parfum (Fragrance) Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil) Aloe Barbadensis Extract (Aloe Vera) Benzyl Benzoate Benzyl Salicylate Citronellol Coumarin Geraniol Hexyl Cinnamal Hydroxycitronellal Limonene Linalool

Murray’s Hair-Glo – Legendary High-Shine Pomade for the Classic Wet Look Legendary wax-free shine pomade from the 1920s with light hold and an intense wet-look finish. Its traditional formula of petrolatum, lanolin, coconut oil and fragrance leaves the hair smooth, controls flyaways and creates exceptional shine. Ideal for slick backs, classic side parts and as a high-shine finish over a firmer pomade. Made in the USA. Murray’s Hair-Glo was developed in the 1920s as a wax-free pomade for superior shine and smoothly slicked-back hairstyles. While the legendary Murray’s Superior primarily focuses on strong hold, Hair-Glo is all about smoothness, flexible control and a glossy wet-look finish. According to the ingredient declaration, its minimalist formula contains only four ingredients: petrolatum, lanolin, coconut oil and fragrance. Its soft consistency spreads effortlessly through the hair, making Hair-Glo an easy-to-use shine pomade for classic hairstyles, longer hair and dry-looking ends. Hold, Shine and Finish Hold: light Shine: very high Finish: smooth, flexible and glossy Scent: mild and classic Intense Shine for the Classic Wet Look The greatest strength of Murray’s Hair-Glo is its intense, deep-looking shine. It smooths the hair’s surface and creates the polished wet look associated with classic men’s hairstyles from the 1920s to the 1950s. Because the formula contains no shaping wax, its hold is deliberately light. The hair remains movable, smooth and easy to reshape at any time using a comb or brush. Suitable For Wet looks: for an intense, classic-looking shine Slick backs: for smoothly combed and supple hair Side parts: for elegant hairstyles with flexible hold Longer hair: for smoothing and controlling individual sections Dry-looking hair: for greater suppleness and visible shine As a finishing pomade: for additional shine over a firmer pomade Ideal as a Topper Over a Firm Pomade Many pomade enthusiasts use Murray’s Hair-Glo as a topper or finishing pomade. First apply a firmer pomade such as Murray’s Superior or Murray’s X-Tra Heavy to create the hold and basic shape. Then smooth a very small amount of Hair-Glo lightly over the finished hairstyle. This gives the hair an especially even, deep shine while largely preserving the hold of the pomade underneath. Smooth Hair with Lanolin and Coconut Oil Lanolin and coconut oil help leave the hair feeling smooth and make dry or dull-looking sections appear more polished. At the same time, the rich base gives the hair its characteristic shine. Hair-Glo can also be used to control frizz, flyaways or dry-looking ends. Due to its rich formula, it should be applied sparingly, especially to fine hair. Consistency and Scent Hair-Glo has a very soft, smooth consistency and can be removed from the tin with virtually no resistance. It becomes instantly pliable between the palms and spreads evenly through the hair. The scent is mild, classic and pleasantly understated, allowing the pomade to be combined easily with an aftershave or fragrance. Application Remove a very small amount from the tin with your fingertip and rub it between your palms. Work it evenly through dry or towel-dried hair, then shape the desired hairstyle using a comb or brush. In towel-dried hair, the pomade spreads particularly easily and creates a pronounced wet look. In dry hair, it is ideal for smoothing flyaways and adding targeted definition to individual sections. Always begin with the smallest possible amount. Gradually add more product if additional shine is required. Washing Out and Buildup As a traditional oil-based shine pomade, Murray’s Hair-Glo cannot be removed completely with water alone. Due to its soft, wax-free formula, however, it can be washed out more easily than Murray’s Superior or X-Tra Heavy. Depending on the amount applied, one thorough shampoo wash will often be sufficient. A small amount of remaining product can be used as a styling foundation for the following day. Packaged in a classic nostalgic metal tin. Made in the USA. Free from colourants and added preservatives.

Murray’s Nu Nile Hair Slick – Classic Pomade with Medium Hold and Shine Classic oil-based pomade with medium hold, flexible styling and noticeable shine. Murray’s Nu Nile Hair Slick is easier to apply than the legendary Murray’s Superior and is ideal for slick backs, side parts, pompadours and wavy, curly or difficult-to-control hair. Made in the USA. Murray’s Nu Nile Hair Slick is a traditional pomade for anyone who wants dependable control and visible shine combined with easier application than Murray’s Superior. Its medium-firm, slightly sticky consistency provides plenty of grip for classic men’s hairstyles without being as hard or demanding as the legendary pomade in the orange tin. The hair remains flexible, combable and easy to restyle throughout the day. Hold, Shine and Finish Hold: medium Shine: medium to high Finish: classic, smooth and flexible Scent: mild and traditional Medium Hold for Classic Hairstyles Murray’s Nu Nile provides dependable medium hold and is suitable for both natural and clearly defined hairstyles. Its slightly sticky texture binds individual hairs together, controls flyaways and supports a stable shape without hardening completely. Compared with Murray’s Superior, Nu Nile is easier to scoop and more comfortable to distribute through the hair. Its hold is slightly softer but remains impressively dependable for a classic medium-hold pomade. Glossy Finish and Wet Look Nu Nile was developed for hairstyles that require both control and a polished shine. Depending on the amount applied and the moisture level of the hair, the finish ranges from a classic medium shine to a pronounced wet look. Applied to dry hair, the result appears more controlled and slightly more natural. In towel-dried hair, the pomade spreads particularly easily and creates a more intense shine. Suitable For Slick backs: for smoothly combed hairstyles with classic shine Side parts: for clean lines and flexible control Pompadours and quiffs: for moderate volume and dependable shape Wavy and curly hair: for defining and controlling the natural hair structure Difficult-to-control hair: for greater grip and control Wet looks: for a distinctly glossy, classic finish Consistency and Application Murray’s Nu Nile has a firm, creamy and slightly sticky consistency. It can be scooped from the tin with moderate pressure and quickly becomes more pliable when rubbed between the palms. It creates some tug during application but is considerably easier to distribute than Murray’s Superior or X-Tra Heavy. For an even result, apply several small amounts one after another. The Scent The fragrance has a mild, traditional barbershop character. It is noticeable immediately after application but remains pleasantly understated in the hair and combines easily with an aftershave or fragrance. Application Remove a small amount from the tin with your finger and rub it thoroughly between your palms. Work several small portions evenly through the hair from the roots to the ends. For stronger hold and a more controlled finish, apply Nu Nile to dry hair. In slightly damp or towel-dried hair, it spreads more easily and creates a more pronounced wet look. Shape the desired hairstyle with a comb or hairbrush. Gradually add more product if additional hold or shine is required. Restyling and Buildup Because Nu Nile does not harden, the hairstyle can be recombed or reshaped at any time. A little water or a few splashes of hair tonic are often sufficient to refresh the style the following day. A light amount of product remaining in the hair can deliberately be used as buildup. This usually reduces the amount of fresh pomade required over the following days. Washing Out As a traditional oil-based pomade, Murray’s Nu Nile cannot be removed completely with water alone. However, it can be washed out more easily than Murray’s Superior or X-Tra Heavy. Depending on the amount applied and the level of buildup, one, two or more washes with a thoroughly cleansing shampoo may be required. Packaged in a classic nostalgic metal tin. Made in the USA. Free from colourants and added preservatives. Contents: 85 g Ingredients: Petrolatum Parfum Amyl Cinnamal Benzyl Alcohol Cinnamyl Alcohol Hydroxycitronellal Isoeugenol Linalool

DAX Wave & Groom – Extra-Firm Hair Wax with Strong Hold Legendary oil-based hair dress with strong hold, low to medium shine and lasting restylability. DAX Wave & Groom controls thick, curly, wavy or unruly hair and is ideal for pompadours, slick backs, defined waves and textured short hairstyles. Formulated with lanolin and mineral oil. Made in the USA by DAX – the iconic American brand established in 1954. DAX Wave & Groom Hair Dress – also known among pomade enthusiasts as the “red DAX” – is one of the best-known classics of American barber and pomade culture. Its exceptionally firm and grippy formula provides dependable control for hairstyles that require strong, long-lasting hold. The oil-based formula of petrolatum, mineral oil and lanolin never hardens completely. As a result, the hair remains flexible despite the strong hold and can be reshaped at any time using your fingers, a comb or a brush. Hold, Shine and Finish Hold: strong Shine: low to medium Finish: grippy, controlled and flexible Scent: warm, classic and subtly sweet Strong Hold for Demanding Hair DAX Wave & Groom was developed for maximum control and clearly defined hairstyles. Its firm, slightly sticky consistency binds individual hairs together, supports a stable shape and is particularly suitable for thick, curly, wavy or difficult-to-control hair. Because the product does not harden like a gel, the hairstyle remains flexible and combable. Build the hold gradually by applying several small amounts instead of working a large quantity into the hair at once. Waves, Pompadours and Textured Styles The name Wave & Groom highlights one of the product’s traditional uses: the hair dress is ideal for enhancing natural waves, defining curls and controlling difficult sections of hair. At the same time, its strong formula provides enough stability for pompadours, slick backs and other classic barber styles. In short hair, individual strands can be shaped, spiked or clearly defined. Suitable For Pompadours and quiffs: for volume and strong stability Slick backs: for a compact, controlled shape Side parts: for precise lines and classic shine Ducktails and executive contours: for traditional barber styles Waves and curls: for defining and controlling the natural hair pattern Short textured hairstyles: for spiking, shaping and sculpting Thick or unruly hair: for particularly dependable control Low to Medium Shine Despite its firmness, DAX Wave & Groom does not create a completely dry or matte finish. It gives the hair a low to medium shine that looks polished and emphasises the traditional character of the hairstyle. Applied to dry hair, the finish appears slightly more natural. In slightly damp hair, the product spreads more easily and creates noticeably more shine. Lanolin and Mineral Oil Lanolin helps leave the hair feeling smooth and supports moisture retention. Mineral oil smooths the hair’s surface, visibly reduces frizz and supports the definition of waves and curls. The rich base prevents the hair from appearing dry or brittle during styling. At the same time, it remains flexible and easy to recomb. Consistency and Scent DAX Wave & Groom has a very firm, tough and slightly sticky consistency. The warmth generated between the palms makes the product more pliable and allows it to be distributed more evenly through the hair. The fragrance is warm, classic and subtly sweet. Delicate hints of honey, vanilla and nostalgic perfume notes give it a traditional barbershop character. Application Remove a small amount from the tin with your finger or the back of your fingernail. Rub it thoroughly between your palms until the product becomes softer and is evenly distributed. Work several small portions through dry or slightly damp hair from the roots to the ends. Shape the desired hairstyle using your fingers, a sturdy comb or a hairbrush. At low temperatures, the closed tin or the removed amount of product can be warmed carefully with a hairdryer. Gradually add further small amounts if additional hold is required. As a Base Pomade Many experienced pomade users apply DAX Wave & Groom as a base pomade. Its strong hold creates a stable foundation for the hairstyle. For additional shine or a smoother surface, a small amount of a softer pomade can then be applied lightly over the finished style. Beard and Moustache Styling The firm consistency can also be used to control and shape individual beard or moustache hairs. Apply only a very small amount sparingly to the desired sections. For precisely twisted moustache tips, however, a dedicated moustache wax will generally provide a more precise and drier hold. Buildup and Restyling As a traditional oil-based hair wax, DAX Wave & Groom is suitable for creating a multi-day buildup. Some of the product remains in the hair after washing and can be used as a stable styling foundation the following day. A little water or a few splashes of hair tonic are often sufficient to refresh the hairstyle. The hair can then be recombed and finished with a small amount of fresh product if required. Washing Out DAX Wave & Groom cannot be removed with water alone. Depending on the amount applied and the level of buildup, complete removal may require several washes with a thoroughly cleansing shampoo or a dedicated degreasing shampoo. Packaged in a classic red metal tin with a screw-top lid. Made in the USA. Free from colourants and added preservatives. Contents: 99 g (3.5 oz.)

DAX Short & Neat combines coconut and castor oils with an exceptionally smooth styling base. Ideal for short to medium-length hairstyles, dry or dull-looking hair and use as a shine-enhancing finish over a firmer pomade. Made in the USA. DAX Short & Neat is an exceptionally soft and easy-to-use pomade for natural hairstyles with light hold and a polished shine. Its smooth consistency is effortless to scoop from the tin and distributes evenly through the hair without pulling. The rich formula contains coconut oil and castor oil. It smooths the hair’s surface, controls flyaways and makes dry or dull-looking hair appear more supple and glossy. Hold, Shine and Finish Hold: light Shine: natural to medium Finish: soft, smooth and flexible Scent: mild, clean and subtly powdery Light Hold for Natural Hairstyles DAX Short & Neat provides a relaxed, flexible hold and is particularly suitable for short to medium-length hair. It smooths individual sections, controls flyaways and gives the hairstyle a polished shape without making the hair stiff. Because the pomade never hardens, the hair retains its natural movement and can be restyled at any time using your fingers, a comb or a brush. Natural to Medium Shine Depending on the amount applied and the method of application, DAX Short & Neat creates a natural to medium shine. The finish appears more understated in dry hair, while application to slightly damp hair produces a more intense shine. The pomade is particularly suitable for anyone who wants to give their hair a polished appearance without creating an extremely glossy wet look. Suitable For Short to medium-length hairstyles: for light hold and natural control Slick backs: for relaxed, swept-back styles with a polished shine Side parts: for classic hairstyles with flexible shape Business styles: for a natural and tidy finish Dry or dull-looking hair: for greater suppleness and visible shine Flyaways and frizz: for smoothing individual sections of hair As a finishing pomade: for additional shine over a firmer pomade Coconut Oil and Castor Oil Coconut oil helps leave the hair feeling smooth and adds shine to dry-looking hair. Castor oil complements the rich formula and helps make the hair’s surface appear smoother. The combination is particularly suitable for hair that appears dry, brittle or dull. Due to the oil-rich formula, the pomade should be applied sparingly to fine hair to avoid weighing it down. Ideal as a Finishing Pomade DAX Short & Neat works exceptionally well as a topper or finishing pomade. Begin by applying a firmer pomade to create the required hold and basic shape. Then smooth a very small amount of Short & Neat lightly over the finished hairstyle. This gives the hair a smoother surface and additional shine without significantly reducing the hold already created. Consistency and Scent The pomade has a very soft, smooth consistency and can be removed from the tin with virtually no resistance. It becomes instantly pliable when rubbed between the palms and can be distributed evenly through the hair. The scent is mild, clean and subtly powdery. It remains pleasantly understated in the hair and combines easily with an aftershave or fragrance. Application Remove a small amount from the tin with your fingertip and rub it between your palms. Work it evenly through dry or slightly damp hair. Shape the desired hairstyle using your fingers, a comb or a brush. Gradually add another small amount if additional shine or control is required. When using it as a finishing pomade, apply only a very small amount and gently smooth it over the already styled hair. Dosage Begin with the smallest possible amount. The soft, oil-rich formula is highly economical and can quickly weigh down fine hair if applied too generously. For dry-looking ends or individual flyaways, a thin layer of product on the fingertips will often be sufficient. Restyling and Buildup Because the pomade never hardens, the hairstyle can be recombed or reshaped with your fingers at any time. A little water or a few splashes of hair tonic are often sufficient to refresh the style the following day. A light amount of remaining product can deliberately be left in the hair as buildup and make styling easier over the following days. Washing Out As a traditional oil-based pomade, DAX Short & Neat cannot be removed completely with water alone. Due to its soft consistency, however, it can be washed out more easily than firm wax pomades. Depending on the amount applied, one thorough shampoo wash will often be sufficient. Heavier buildup may require additional washes. Packaged in a classic metal tin. Made in the USA. Free from colourants and added preservatives. Contents: 99 g (3.5 oz.)

The traditional cult pomade from Memphis, Tennessee. Made in the USA. Black & White Genuine Pluko Hair Dressing Pomade is one of the best-known traditional pomades in American grooming culture. Its history dates back to 1922, meaning this iconic pomade celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2022. Its roots lie in Memphis, Tennessee – a city synonymous with blues, rock ’n’ roll and American music history. The smooth formula, classic shine and characteristic fragrance are perfectly suited to the iconic men’s hairstyles of the 1940s and 1950s. Medium, Flexible Hold Black & White Pomade provides a medium, flexible hold. It reliably controls the hairstyle without hardening or making the hair feel rigid. Because the pomade does not set firm, the hair remains flexible throughout the day and can be restyled at any time with a comb or hairbrush. The hold can be increased gradually by applying several small amounts. Classic Shine and Smooth Hair The traditional oil- and wax-based formula gives the hair a natural to medium pomade shine. The finish looks polished and classic without appearing excessively wet or greasy. The pomade smooths flyaways, improves combability and helps create an even shape.

Ideal for Classic Men’s Hairstyles Black & White Genuine Pluko Hair Dressing Pomade is particularly suitable for: Pompadours and rockabilly quiffs Slick backs and side parts Executive contours Classic tapered styles Polished business hairstyles Short to medium-length hair Normal, thick or slightly unruly hair Consistency and Styling The white pomade has a pleasantly smooth, slightly waxy consistency. It is easy to scoop from the container and quickly softens between the palms. It distributes evenly through the hair without excessive resistance. Even a small amount provides control and shine, while additional product can be applied gradually to thicker or longer hair. The Legendary Scent The fragrance is an essential part of this pomade’s unmistakable character. Powdery notes of coconut and jasmine combine to create a warm, nostalgic composition reminiscent of summer days, the sea and classic men’s grooming. The scent remains pleasantly noticeable in the hair and emphasises the authentic vintage character of Black & White Pomade. Application Scoop out a small amount of pomade with your fingertips and rub it between your palms until it becomes soft and smooth. Distribute it evenly through dry or slightly damp hair, working from the roots to the ends. Shape the desired hairstyle with a comb or hairbrush. Applying the pomade to slightly damp hair makes it particularly easy to distribute and creates a stronger shine. For greater hold and a more natural finish, apply it to dry hair.

Depending on the amount applied, several washes may be required. Many pomade enthusiasts use the remaining buildup as a styling foundation the following day. A little water, hair tonic or a small additional amount of pomade is often enough to refresh the hairstyle.

Yardley English Lavender Brilliantine – Legendary Lavender Pomade in a Glass Jar Legendary soft brilliantine with a light to medium hold, silky shine and an unmistakable fragrance of English lavender, fresh bergamot and oakmoss. This traditional hair pomade leaves the hair smooth and well groomed and is still presented in its nostalgic glass jar with a gold-coloured lid. Yardley English Lavender Brilliantine is one of the world's best-known classic lavender pomades. Its elegant fragrance and traditional packaging also made it synonymous with English men's grooming in Germany for many decades. Yardley is one of Britain's most historic fragrance, bath and body care brands. With this brilliantine, the company preserves a nearly forgotten chapter of traditional hair care: an exceptionally soft, fragranced pomade designed to provide smoothness, gentle shine and a polished appearance. What Is Brilliantine? The word “brilliantine” is derived from the French word “brillant”, meaning shiny. These fragranced grooming products became popular during the late 19th and early 20th centuries and were used to make the hair, beard and moustache smoother while providing a polished, glossy appearance. Unlike particularly firm styling pomades, a brilliantine focuses less on maximum hold and more on smoothness, shine, combability and fragrance. Yardley English Lavender Brilliantine continues to embody precisely this traditional character. Light to Medium Hold Yardley Brilliantine provides a light to medium, flexible hold. It gently shapes the hair, smooths flyaways and improves combability without allowing the hairstyle to harden. The hair remains soft, movable and easy to recomb at any time. This makes the brilliantine particularly suitable for traditional hairstyles that should appear polished and natural without looking visibly overstyled. Silky Shine and a Polished Finish The soft oil-based formula gives the hair a natural to pronounced silky shine. Depending on the amount applied, the result can range from subtly polished to a classic, elegant brilliantine finish. The pomade also works exceptionally well as a shine-enhancing finish over a firmer product. A thin layer is sufficient to add extra shine and smoothness to an already styled hairstyle. Which Hairstyles Is This Brilliantine Suitable For? Classic slick backs and side parts Polished business hairstyles Traditional contours and men's styles Relaxed pompadours with a gentle shine Smoothing flyaways Adding shine over a firmer pomade Conditioning dry or dull-looking ends Which Hair Types Is It Suitable For? Yardley English Lavender Brilliantine is particularly suitable for fine to normal hair and for dry or dull-looking hair. Due to its soft consistency, it should be used sparingly to avoid unnecessarily weighing down finer hair. On thicker hair, it can also be used as a conditioning finish or combined with a firmer pomade. The Legendary Lavender Fragrance The fragrance is the unmistakable heart of Yardley Brilliantine. Aromatic lavender meets fresh notes of bergamot, lemon, rosemary and eucalyptus. Geranium and sage give the composition a classic herbal character. Warm accords of cedarwood, oakmoss and musk add depth and elegantly complete the fragrance. The result is fresh, floral, subtly powdery and unmistakably British – a timeless gentleman's scent with historic character. Consistency and Styling The vibrant green brilliantine has an exceptionally soft and smooth consistency. It can be scooped from the glass jar with virtually no resistance and becomes instantly smooth between the palms. It distributes effortlessly through the hair without pulling. Even a small amount improves combability while adding a polished shine and the characteristic lavender fragrance. Application Scoop out a small amount with your fingertips and distribute it between your palms. Work it evenly through towel-dried or dry hair, then shape the desired hairstyle with a comb. Applying the brilliantine to towel-dried hair makes it particularly easy to distribute and creates a stronger shine. Use it more sparingly in dry hair to smooth flyaways and achieve a naturally polished finish. A hairbrush distributes the product particularly evenly and creates a smooth, consistent shape with an elegant shine and no visible stringiness. Washout As a traditional oil-based brilliantine, the product cannot be completely removed with water alone. However, its soft formula makes it easier to wash out than many firm pomades. Depending on the amount applied, a good shampoo is usually sufficient for thorough cleansing. The Nostalgic Packaging Yardley English Lavender Brilliantine is presented in a transparent glass jar with a gold-coloured aluminium screw-top lid. Its small historic label and vibrant green contents give the packaging an unmistakable vintage character. While glass jars were once common for pomades and hair creams, they have now become rare. This makes Yardley Brilliantine not only a classic grooming product but also a distinctive collector's item. Packaged in a nostalgic glass jar with a gold-coloured aluminium screw-top lid. Made in the United Arab Emirates. Free from added preservatives. Contents: 80 g Ingredients: Petrolatum Paraffinum Liquidum Paraffin Octocrylene Parfum Limonene Linalool Coumarin Eugenol Evernia Prunastri Extract Alpha-Isomethyl Ionone Isoeugenol Hydroxycitronellal Geraniol Citral Citronellol Benzyl Benzoate Evernia Furfuracea Extract CI 47000 CI 61565

Brillantina Linetti Solida – Rare Italian Lavender Pomade Since 1946 A traditional Italian brilliantine pomade made since 1946. It provides light to medium, flexible hold and a soft, well-groomed shine. Its distinctive fragrance is led by aromatic lavender and complemented by warm floral and subtly spicy nuances. Presented in an unusual pale-green case inspired by historic solidified brilliantines. Made in Italy. Brillantina Linetti Solida is a rare classic Italian hair pomade. Since 1946, it has combined flexible styling, soft shine and an elegant lavender fragrance with packaging inspired by the golden age of European brilliantines. Its soft oil-based formula is easy to work through the hair and is particularly suitable for polished, close-fitting hairstyles. The hair remains movable and can be recombed or brushed at any time throughout the day. The most striking feature is the decorative pale-green case. Its characteristic shape recalls historic solidified brilliantines and makes Linetti an unusual focal point in the bathroom, barbershop or pomade collection. Light to Medium, Flexible Hold Brillantina Linetti Solida provides light to medium hold. It keeps the hair neat and supports a polished hairstyle without hardening or forming a rigid styling film. Its flexible control is especially suitable for traditional side parts, slickbacks, neat contours and elegant everyday styles. Fine to normal hair will often require only a small amount for shape and shine. On stronger hair, the pomade can be built gradually or used as a smooth base beneath a firmer pomade. Because the product remains soft, the hairstyle can be recombed whenever required. Linetti is therefore particularly suitable for anyone who prefers naturally movable styling to a hard, fixed finish. Soft Shine in the Tradition of Classic Brilliantines The oil-based formula gives the hair a soft, even shine. The finish looks polished and classic without creating the extreme wet look associated with very soft high-shine pomades. Flyaways are smoothed, while the hair becomes easier to comb into a clean, unified shape. The amount applied determines the intensity: used sparingly, Linetti creates subtle natural-looking shine; a more generous application produces a stronger brilliantine finish. Aromatic Lavender Fragrance The distinctive scent of Brillantina Linetti Solida is led by aromatic lavender. Warm, subtly floral, powdery and gently spicy impressions give the composition its nostalgic character. The fragrance feels classic and well-groomed, recalling traditional European men’s grooming. It remains pleasantly noticeable in the hair without developing the heaviness of a modern perfume. Who Is Brillantina Linetti Solida For? Fans of classic and nostalgic pomades Those who enjoy aromatic lavender fragrances Fine, normal and thick hair Side parts, slickbacks, neat contours and traditional men’s hairstyles Movable styling without a hard finish Soft, well-groomed shine Collectors of historically inspired grooming products As an Italian alternative to classic English lavender brilliantines An Unusual Case Inspired by Historic Brilliantines During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, fine hair oils were frequently sold as brilliantines, while firmer versions were known as “solidified brilliantines.” Premium products often came in decorative containers with oval shapes or rounded corners. The sturdy packaging protected the valuable contents and made the product easier to carry. Brillantina Linetti Solida continues this design tradition with its pale-green case. Although the former metal has been replaced by modern material, the unmistakable character of historic European men’s grooming remains. Consistency The pomade has a soft, smooth consistency and is easy to remove from the inner container. It quickly becomes pliable between the palms and can then be distributed evenly through the hair. The soft texture makes application especially easy on fine to normal hair. For thick or unruly hair, apply several small portions gradually instead of using one large amount at once. Directions Remove a small amount with a fingertip and rub thoroughly between the palms. Work it evenly through dry or slightly damp hair from the roots to the ends. Shape the hair with a comb or hairbrush. For a traditional side part, establish the basic shape with a fine-toothed comb, then smooth the hairstyle with a natural-bristle brush. Used in dry hair, the pomade provides slightly greater control and a more subtle finish. Applied to slightly damp hair, it distributes especially easily and creates stronger, more unified shine. Prepare the Hair with Hair Tonic A hair tonic improves manageability before application and helps the pomade spread evenly. For light, oil-free preparation with silky shine, choose Don Draper Hair Tonic YELLOW. Those who prefer a richer hair feel and a warmer fragrance can use Don Draper Hair Tonic GOLD. Follow with a small amount of Linetti and complete the hairstyle with the Don Draper Premium Comb and a Don Draper hairbrush made with pure boar bristles. For More Hold: Don Draper Men’s Pomade If the smooth Linetti brilliantine does not provide enough control, Don Draper Men’s Pomade is a suitable alternative. It provides medium to firm, flexible hold and classic shine. Its mild fragrance combines hints of coconut and pineapple with warm woody nuances. The two pomades can also be combined. Apply Don Draper Men’s Pomade first as the controlling base, then add a small amount of Linetti for additional shine and its characteristic lavender fragrance. An Alternative with an Iconic Fragrance: Sweet Georgia Brown Those who prefer a warmer, powdery and spicy fragrance with particularly strong historic character can choose one of the classic Sweet Georgia Brown Pomades. The iconic Sweet Georgia Brown fragrance combines impressions of rose, lavender, spices, citrus and vanilla. It has been one of the most legendary scent compositions in pomade and grooming history since the 1930s. Sweet Georgia Brown Hair Tonic improves manageability before styling and introduces the unmistakable fragrance while it is massaged into the hair and scalp. Follow with a Sweet Georgia Brown Pomade for traditional hold and shine. English Lavender Alternative: Yardley Those specifically looking for another classic lavender brilliantine will find Yardley English Lavender Brillantine a particularly suitable secondary alternative. Yardley interprets the theme with a traditionally English lavender character, while Linetti offers a softer Italian variation in its unusual pale-green case. Both products appeal to enthusiasts of historic brilliantines but differ in fragrance, consistency and styling feel. This makes them ideal for comparing traditional Italian and English approaches to classic men’s grooming. Styling the Following Day As an oil-based brilliantine, some of the product remains in the hair overnight. The following morning, thoroughly combing or brushing the hair will often be sufficient. When required, massage in a small amount of Don Draper Hair Tonic to make the existing product pliable again. Add a little Linetti and reshape the hairstyle. Washing Out Brillantina Linetti Solida is a traditional oil-based pomade and is therefore not water-soluble. Water alone will remove only part of it. The remaining light build-up can be used as a base for styling the following day. For thorough cleansing, first massage shampoo into dry or only slightly damp hair. Allow it to work briefly, then add water, create a lather and rinse carefully. A second wash may be required after heavier product build-up. For mild regular cleansing, use Sweet Georgia Brown Cocoanut Oil Shampoo. Its gentle formula cleanses the hair and scalp, while conditioning coconut oil derivatives support a smooth hair feel. Despite its name, the shampoo does not have a coconut fragrance; it carries the iconic Sweet Georgia Brown scent. Caution For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. Do not apply to an irritated or damaged scalp. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Store away from heat and direct sunlight. Presented in a decorative pale-green case inspired by historic packaging. Made since 1946. Made in Italy. Without added preservatives.

DAX Pomade – Soft Oil-Based Pomade with Botanical Oils and High Shine A traditional soft oil-based pomade from DAX, the American manufacturer founded in 1954. The formula contains lanolin, castor oil, coconut oil, olive oil and bergamot oil to give the hair smoothness and natural-to-high shine. Ideal as a lightweight styling pomade, for smoothing dry-looking ends or as a high-shine topper over a firmer pomade. Made in the USA. DAX Pomade is one of the traditional classics among American oil-based pomades. Its exceptionally soft, creamy consistency allows for effortless application, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced pomade enthusiasts. Even a small amount gives dry or dull-looking hair a well-groomed appearance, additional smoothness and attractive shine. The pomade provides light hold, controls flyaways and remains permanently flexible and combable. The traditional formula is based on petrolatum, mineral oil and lanolin. Castor oil, coconut oil and olive oil complement the formula and support a smooth hair feel. Bergamot oil contributes to the pomade’s fresh, classic fragrance profile. Hold, shine and finish Hold: light Shine: medium to high Finish: smooth, classic and glossy Fragrance: subtle, fresh, citrusy and clean Light hold and intense shine The defining feature of DAX Pomade is its traditional shine. Depending on the amount applied, it creates a naturally glossy to intensely shiny finish without setting the hair hard. The light hold is suitable for relaxed, flexible hairstyles and smoothing individual flyaways. The hair remains soft, movable and can be reshaped throughout the day using a comb or brush. When applied sparingly, the pomade gives the hair a polished, natural shine. A larger amount creates a more pronounced traditional pomade look with considerably greater shine. Suitable for DAX Pomade is particularly suitable for normal, thick, dry or dull-looking hair. Due to its light hold, it is ideal for hairstyles where smoothness, flexible control and shine are more important than especially firm fixation. Slick backs: for a sleek, glossy finish Side parts: for classic comb lines and flexible hold Pompadours and ducktails: when combined with a firmer base pomade Natural everyday hairstyles: for light control and polished shine Dry-looking ends: for smoothing and additional softness As a shine topper: over a firmer pomade for additional shine Can be used as a shine topper Many pomade enthusiasts use DAX Pomade as a finishing product over a firmer pomade. First create the desired hairstyle using a firm- or heavy-hold pomade. Then rub a very small amount of DAX Pomade between your palms and lightly smooth it over the surface of the finished hairstyle. This largely preserves the strong hold of the base pomade while giving the hair considerably more elegant shine. Consistency and fragrance The green pomade has a pleasantly soft, creamy consistency. It can be scooped from the jar without resistance, quickly distributed between the palms and worked effortlessly through the hair. The fragrance is subtle and traditional. Fresh citrus notes and delicate bergamot combine to create a clean, uncomplicated fragrance profile that remains pleasantly understated. How to use Scoop a small amount of DAX Pomade from the jar with your fingertips and rub it between your palms. Distribute evenly through dry or slightly damp hair from the roots to the ends. Applying the pomade to dry hair provides slightly more control and definition. It distributes especially evenly through slightly damp hair and creates a sleeker finish with more shine. Shape the hair as desired using a comb or brush. For additional shine, gradually and sparingly apply more product. Buildup and washing out As a traditional oil-based pomade, DAX Pomade cannot be removed completely with water alone. A light product residue – the typical buildup – can deliberately be used as a foundation for styling over the following days. A little water or hair tonic makes the hair smooth and combable again the next morning. For complete removal, a thorough cleansing shampoo is recommended. Depending on the amount applied, several washes may be required. Presented in a transparent plastic jar with a screw-top lid. Made in the USA. Free from added preservatives. Contents: 100 g (3.5 oz.)
