Royal Crown – Legendary American Pomades Since the 1930s
Royal Crown is one of the great classics of American pomade culture. The brand belongs to J. Strickland & Co., a long-established manufacturer of hair and skin care products whose story began in 1936.
Founder George B. Long borrowed 500 US dollars to establish his own company. His ambition was to offer quality grooming products at affordable prices. Royal Crown Hair Dressing was among his earliest creations and became a familiar sight in American homes, hair salons and barbershops.
Two Classics for Shine and Smooth Styling
Royal Crown Men’s Pomade is a soft, oil-based pomade created for classic hairstyles with reliable control and elegant shine. The even softer Royal Crown Hair Dressing is particularly suitable for smoothing, conditioning and finishing the hair with a high-gloss appearance.
Both products remain pliable and combable in the hair. This makes them ideal for traditional slick backs, side parts and glossy pompadours inspired by the hairstyles of the 1940s and 1950s.
A Piece of American Rock ’n’ Roll History
Royal Crown was already widely used throughout the United States during the 1940s. In the 1950s, its Hair Dressing became closely associated with the gleaming pompadours of the emerging rock ’n’ roll era. Little Richard even promoted Royal Crown in a historic radio commercial.
Alongside brands such as Murray’s, DAX, Sweet Georgia Brown and Black & White, Royal Crown ranks among the defining classics of traditional American pomade culture. To this day, the brand keeps the spirit of vintage US barbershops and the fascinating rock ’n’ roll era alive.
Discover Royal Crown at PomadeShop and experience authentic American hairstyling backed by more than 80 years of tradition.

THE one pomade of THE US country legend singer of the 1950s! Yes, this is indeed THE favorite pomade of a famous US country singer named Johnny C. The Royal Crown Pomade is soft, but chewy and slightly firmer than the Royal Crown Hair Dressing. It consists of just three ingredients—Vaseline, olive oil, and perfume—provides stable hold, gorgeous shine, and almost creates a fifties quiff by itself! The scent of aftershave and cotton candy is absolutely seductive, albeit very mild. Made in the USA since 1938. The "Royal Crown Pomade for Men" (formerly "Royal Crown Men's Pomade") is a legendary pomade from Memphis. It has been manufactured in the USA using the same recipe since 1938. In the 1940s, this was the favorite pomade of American heartthrob and pilots. In the 1950s, it shone on the heads of the biggest country and rock 'n' roll stars. Today, it is one of the rarest pomades in the world. It is similar to Royal Crown Hair Dressing, which is a little softer and has a very mild, waxy scent. In the 1950s, Royal Crown Men's Pomade was so popular that it was used by not only a well-known rock 'n' roll singer, but also by country legend Johnny C. When you put this pomade in your hair and look in the mirror, you realize: Wow, yes, that's his pomade! The Royal Crown Men's Pomade is a must-have based on its history alone. The fact that it was used by the biggest music stars of the 1950s is an absolute must-have. The Effect The "Royal Crown Pomade for Men" is a visual feast alone. It brightens up not only every bathroom, but also every hairstyle. In the hair itself, it provides excellent, stable hold (similar to a medium-strength hair gel) that lasts all day, and it also offers a truly beautiful shine. It feels and looks almost like hair gel. Like the Royal Crown Hair Dressing, it consists of only three ingredients: petroleum jelly, olive oil, and perfume. The main difference, however, is the sweet scent, which is truly addictive and far too mild! What hairstyles is this product suitable for? The Royal Crown Men's Pomade almost creates an Elvis quiff by itself. It gives a beautiful shine in the style of the 1950s and a very stable hold, as seen in celebrity photos of the time. It is perfect for styling and styling, but less so for styling unruly hair. Anyone who likes country and rock 'n' roll stars of the 1950s/60s will love this pomade and, visually alone, will get closer to their idols! For very strong hold or short hairstyles, like crew cuts or flat tops, you should use something stronger, like Murray's Superior, DAX Wave & Groom, Don Draper Strong, or Nu Nile. For curly hair, Royal Crown gives a beautiful shine and emphasizes the curls, but it's too soft to tame. In those cases, you should opt for firmer pomades, like Black & White, Nu Nile, DAX Green & Gold. Or very firm pomades, like DAX Wave & Groom, Murray's Superior, or those from High Life: High Life Heavy, or the two Voodoo Brew pomades. Who is this product suitable for? For fans of the 1950s/60s For fans of country and rock 'n' roll singers (for styling with THE original pomade!!) For packaging connoisseurs The packaging The Royal Crown Men's Pomade shines like a Las Vegas Christmas tree ornament in the 1950s. Since 1938, this pomade was packaged in a cardboard box until recently. The lid was made of lightweight tin. The base was taken from a tin can and was very sturdy. The overall shape was extremely solid and simply beautiful. The predominant metallic red, the white and green lettering, the stars and crown: all in all, it was an incredibly beautiful package. After being missing for a few years, the pomade has now returned in plastic packaging, as the old cardboard box manufacturer in the USA unfortunately no longer exists. But that doesn't detract from the joy of this unique pomade. Consistency and Fragrance The Royal Crown Men's Pomade has a medium, almost firm, consistency. The color looks like a glassy, melted candle wax. But the scent of this pomade is the highlight: it is reminiscent of a mixture. A blend of lavender aftershave and cotton candy. But like a moment of happiness on a beautiful summer night, it reveals itself to the curious nose only once (!). If you want to take a second or third sniff, you don't have a chance - the scent has long since vanished. Once the pomade is in your hair, every gentle - and unfortunately very rare - waft of this fragrance conjures up a smile. How to use Take a fingerful of Royal Crown. Rub it between your fingers. Andpreferably after shampooing, massage it into towel-dried hair - from root to tip. Also against the direction of hair growth. Repeat this 3-4 times and then comb into the desired shape. Of course, the pomade can also be used wonderfully on dry hair. Styling Tips 1.) If you've moved around too much and a strand of hair has gotten out of place, no problem: just comb through your hair a few times and your style will be back in place. 2.) You can achieve even more shine with a traditional hairbrush, which distributes the pomade better over the hair's surface and gives the style a piano-black look. The pomade is packaged in a plastic container. Made in the USA. (No dyes or preservatives). Contents: 142 g (5 oz). Ingredients: Petrolatum Olive oil Perfume
Content: 142 Gramm (€9.12 / 100 Gramm)
The legendary pomade from Memphis / Tennessee. This is pure Rock'n Roll! The Royal Crown Hair Dressing is an absolute treat: As the manufacturer confirmed to us, the Royal Crown was proven to be THE favorite pomade of a popular Rock'n Roll singer (Mr. E. P. from Memphis / Tennessee). A sample can even be found in his former mansion, now turned into a museum, on a table next to his bed. Made in the USA since 1951. The Royal Crown Hair Dressing is a legendary pomade. It has been made according to the same recipe in the USA since 1951. In the 1950s it shone on the heads of the greatest Rock and Roll stars. And still today it is one of the most fascinating pomades in the USA. It is similar to the Royal Crown Men's Pomade from 1938, which is a bit stronger and has an amazing sweet scent. In the fifties, the Royal Crown was so famous that in 1956 it was even promoted in a refreshing and enthusiastic way by the Rock and Roll legend Little Richard. His commercial can be found on the CD "Shag on Down By Union Hall" as number 15. It surely can also be found on YouTube. The Royal Crown Men's Pomade is a must just because of the beautiful packaging. But the fact that it was used by the greatest music stars of the 1950s is an absolute no brainer. The effect This soft pomade gives an excellent, light to medium hold and a really brilliant shine without looking greasy or oily to the touch. It also improves the hair structure and dry, brittle hair gets softer and more supple. Even if you really put a lot in your hair, the hairstyle does not look oily or heavy, but incomparably well-groomed and super shiny. The Royal Crown gives the hairstyle a nice hold for the whole day. And if you should go wild, simply pull out the comb and style your hair back in shape. What hairstyles is this product suitable for The Royal Crown Hair Dressing is best for short to medium long hair. It is perfect for hairstyles that are layed back (slickback) in the style of the 1930-40s. If you like Rock'n Roll, you will love this pomade !! Like the Royal Crown Pomade, it gives a divine sheen in the style of the 1950s and nice hold, as you know it from Rock'n Roll star pictures of this era. For a very strong hold or short hairstyles, such as crew cuts or flat tops, you should use something stronger, such as Murray's Superior, DAX Wave & Groom or Dapper Dan Strong. The Royal Crown gives curly hair a beautiful shine and emphasizes the curls, but it is too soft to tame. You should rather go for firmer pomades, such as Black & White, Nu Nile, DAX Green & Gold. Or with very firm pomades, such as DAX Wave & Groom, Dapper Dan Strong, Murray's Superior or those from High Life: High Life Heavy, Voodoo Brew or Voodo Brew 2. For whom is this product suitable? For fans of movies from the 1950s (for a really well-groomed hairstyle) For fans of the 1950s and Rock'n Roll singers from Memphis (for styling with THE original pomade !!) For lovers of well-groomed, classic hairstyles without looking overly styled For short to medium long hair (for straightening and combing back) The packaging The Royal Crown used to be until recently packed in a cardboard box with a bottom and lid made of light sheet metal. Since the old packaging manufacturer does not exist anymore, the Royal Crown Hair Dressing is packed in a plastic tin. However, this ingenious pomade tempts to put a lot in the hair. But that doesn't hurt at all. Consistency and fragrance The Royal Crown has a soft consistency. The color is light, waxy, almost glassy. The scent is subtle, but still present and reminfs of a leather wax with a hint of lime or even of a shaving powder of an old US barbershop. The application Take a finger of the Royal Crown Pomade. Rub it between your fingers or palms. And after shampooing, massage into the damp hair - from the hair root to the tip of the hair. Repeat this 3-4 times and then comb into the desired shape. The pomade can of course also be used wonderfully on dry hair. 1.) If you have moved too much and a strand of hair should dance out of line, no problem: comb through your hair a couple of times and your hairstyle is back in shape. 2.) You'll get even more shine by using a traditional hairbrush, which distributes the pomade better on the hair surface and gives the hairstyle a patent leather look. The pomade is packaged in a plastic tin. Made in the USA (Without colors or preservatives) Content: 7.25 oz (206 g) Ingredients: Petrolatum Olive oil Fragrance

The Original Blue Magic Pomade Since 1953 – Shine Like Motor Oil! Blue Magic Pressing Oil is a legendary American pomade with true cult status. Made in the USA since 1953, it is famous for its magical, extremely intense shine. The scent is mild, fresh, and slightly sweet, with a nostalgic note reminiscent of a heavy biker leather jacket. Blue Magic Pressing Oil is a true insider tip among pomade enthusiasts. This soft pomade delivers an exceptional, deep shine while leaving the hair soft, smooth, and well cared for. It has been produced in the USA for decades using the same classic formula. The Effect Depending on the amount used, Blue Magic gives the hair a light to extremely strong shine. The hold is light to medium, making it ideal for classic, neatly styled hairstyles. The hair never feels dry, but always smooth and conditioned. The legendary “motor oil shine” lasts all day and is easy to control. Which Hairstyles Is This Product Best Suited For? Blue Magic Pressing Oil is perfect for classic, neat hairstyles such as slick backs, pompadours, and well-groomed everyday styles. It can be used for daily styling, regular hair care, or as a high-shine finish for special occasions. It is also great for taming unruly hair. For very short hair or styles that require extremely strong hold (such as crew cuts or flat tops), a firmer pomade is recommended. Who Is This Product For? For fans of extreme shine For lovers of 1950s style For fans of classic US TV shows from the 50s and 60s For lovers of traditional American pomades For all hair types to smooth and condition The Packaging Originally, Blue Magic was packaged in a beautiful red cardboard box with an aluminum lid, resembling a small magical treasure chest. Today it comes in a plastic jar, but the contents are exactly the same as in 1953, when rock ’n’ roll began to conquer the music world. Texture and Scent Blue Magic has a very soft texture and is easy to scoop and spread. In the jar, it appears in a highly glossy, deep blue color. The scent starts off mild and slightly sweet with a leathery note, later developing a nostalgic character with a hint of fresh citrus. In the hair, the fragrance remains subtle and pleasant. How to Use Blue Magic is best applied after showering to towel-dried hair. A very small amount is enough to achieve maximum shine. For classic hairstyles: Rub a fingertip of pomade between your fingers and lightly stroke through the hair. Repeat if necessary, then comb into the desired shape. For hair care: Massage a fingertip of pomade thoroughly from roots to ends, then style as desired. Styling Tip: 1930s Hairstyle For a traditional, close-to-the-head 1930s look, work the pomade into the hair in stages, combing in between. Briefly applying a warm, damp towel makes the hair especially soft and shiny. Finish with a soft-bristle brush for maximum gloss. The pomade comes in a plastic jar. Made in the USA. (No preservatives) Content: 125 g (5 oz) Ingredients: Petrolatum Lanolin Lecithin Mineral Oil Fragrance Colorants: Green 6, Violet 2 What Do Our Customers Say About This Product? Stefan: “This pomade is almost like a hair gel. It is very easy to apply, making it ideal for pomade beginners. The scent reminds me of a mix of sea and beach, although it is not very intense. It washes out easily. After some time in the hair, it really shows its strengths. You can wear a cap or hat, quickly comb your hair again, and the style is back in place. I would definitely buy this pomade again.” Florian M. from Kirchdorf: “It’s great fun trying out different pomades! The shine of Blue Magic is insane!” Customer Reviews for “Blue Magic Pressing Oil, 5 oz” Mr. Fugbaum – 15/11/2016 Best Shine Pomade For me, no other pomade comes close to Blue Magic Pressing Oil when it comes to shine. The hold is below average, but for a slick back it does not need to be mixed with other pomades. It smells strongly of leather. Unfortunately, the packaging is not very sturdy. Thomas – 15/08/2016 Great The color: amazing. The scent: leather? Yes, definitely… very good. The hold: a light pomade; you may need to use a bit more. Overall: highly recommended. It gets top marks from me. Bernd – 07/08/2016 Reference When It Comes to Shine Pomades I use Blue Magic mainly as a top coat over a firm pomade or its residue. In the jar, the intense blue color looks fantastic. The scent is a matter of taste, leathery and slightly edgy, but not strong in the hair. It gives the hair an extremely strong shine – the comparison to motor oil is spot on. The shine level is easy to control and lasts a very long time. It also revives firmer pomades very well. I can recommend it to anyone who loves extreme shine. Leif – 31/10/2015 Nice Scent and Light Hold The scent is very subtle and works especially well in the hair. It really does smell like a leather jacket. The hold is weak, but it is perfect as a second layer over a firm pomade to add shine. That is exactly where this pomade excels. McQueen, the Pomade Messi – 02/04/2015 A True Shine Piece It doesn’t get much more vintage than this. The hold is very light, but the shine is outstanding. The motor oil comparison is definitely not exaggerated. The scent is unique, subtle, and very masculine. Perfect as a shine top coat over a matte, firm pomade.
