Rod Glaze - I use butch wax. Crew Comb is good. There is also a product called Black and White...but it's really hard to find round these here parts. (chicago) But then again, I don't have a lot of hair.

Liz Sisson - Aveda Brilliant anti-humectant pomade. I swear by it and it washes out easily to boot.

Dave Sisson - From the male half of this family, I like Murrays for hold and Dixie Peach Pomade for shine. It's my one-two combo. Melt Murrays in scalding hot tap water and smear into your head (avoiding too much and creating build-up after it cools and becomes a solid again) and before combing, do the same with the lighter oilier Dixie Peach and then comb. The problem with Royal Crown as I've found is it does not travel well at all as the crappy cardboard container gets bent out of shape about halfway down and the lid fits on poorly. When I was traveling in Florida, I left my bag in a locked 100 degree car and the tin was on it's side and the pomade liquified and spilled out all over everything I owned! Boy was I pissed! Dixie Peach is similar to RC but comes in a plastic screw top container and the Murrays, a tin container so no potential spillage problems but that Royal Crown smell is tops to me and will always mean...SATURDAY NIGHT!

Ellen Stenard - Back when I had really, really short hair, I used Nexxus' pomade. It's not very waxy, and a little bit oily, so I would never recommend it to say, Carl, but for girls looking for a little hold and lots of shine it's great. I've also used some cool colored pomade from Sweet Georgia Brown. Gives cool temporary streaks or sparkle! I've also used Oribe pomade before. Kinda greasy without a lot of hold, but it comes in colors like blue and gold and the packaging is super neato.

Nick Bush - You can't use a "one-size fits all" approach here. You're pomade choice depends on your need. For me, I usually go with the "three-level stretch." (Jake knows what I'm talking about here.)

1. For the base coat, something light: either Royal Crown or Dixie Peach (prefered).
2. For the intermediate coat (gives some body and additional sheen); Murray's light is the prefered product, although Nu-Nile does in a pinch.
3. For more permanent hold and "lift", gotta go with Original Murray's or Rob's Chop Shop 30 wieght.

On how to apply in general, I asked my hairdresser and friend, Gigi. She says,..... first, with any pomade,use only small amounts at a time . you can use as much as you want (to much will make your hair just look heavy -dirty- & greasy) but start with a dime size in the middle of your palm and warm it up by rubbing your hands together apply anywhere but the roots.(weighs your hair down).
