Pomade ( ; French "pommade") is a greasy, waxy, or a water-based substance that is used to style hair.
 Pomade gives the user's hair a shiny, slick appearance, and does not dry it out.
 It lasts longer than most hair care products, often requiring multiple washes to completely remove.
 The original pomade of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries consisted mainly of bear fat or lard.
 Lanolin, beeswax, and petroleum jelly have been used extensively in the manufacture of modern pomades.
 Stiffening properties of pomades make sculptured hairstyles such as the pompadour or quiff possible; while long lasting moisturizing properties make it popular with individuals with Afro-textured hair.
Greasy hair is a hair condition which is common in humans, one of four main four types of hair conditioning— normal, greasy, dry and greasy dry.
 It is primarily caused by build-up of the natural secretion from the sebaceous glands in the scalp and is characterised by the continuous development of natural grease on the scalp.
 A chronic condition of greasy hair may often accompany chronic greasy skin conditions on the face and body and oily skin and acne.
 Excessive carbohydrate, fat and starch consumption can increase the likelihood of developing greasy hair and also poor personal hygiene and not washing the hair for a long duration will lead to a buildup of sebum in the hair follicles.
 Hair conditioners can decrease the likelihood of developing greasy hair after shampooing.
 Some cosmetics companies produce shampoos and conditioners specifically to deal with greasy hair and for oily or dry hair problems.
 Massaging the scalp and exposure to the sun can reduce the problem of greasy hair.
Good hair is a phrase used within the African-American community to generally describe African-American hair (or the hair texture belonging to those of other ethnicities who fit the same description) that most closely resembles the hair of non-Black people (straight or curly), especially those images of hair popularly presented in society, and as contrasted with the appearance of natural Afro-textured hair.
S-Curl is a trademark for a line of hair products produced by Luster Products designed to loosen the natural hair texture of a person of African descent, so that natural wave and curl patterns are looser and more prominent.
 The term "s-curl" soon came to describe the hairstyle acquired from the use of the S-Curl line products and the products of competitors.

 In ancient civilizations, women's hair was often elaborately and carefully dressed in special ways.
 In Imperial Rome, women wore their hair in complicated styles.
 From the time of the Roman Empire until the Middle Ages, most women grew their hair as long as it would naturally grow.
 During the Roman Empire as well as in the 16th century in the western world, women began to wear their hair in extremely ornate styles.
 In the later half of the 15th century and on into the 16th century a very high hairline on the forehead was considered attractive.
 During the 15th and 16th centuries, European men wore their hair cropped no longer than shoulder-length.

Afro-textured hair is the natural hair texture of certain populations in Africa, the African diaspora, Australia and Asia, which has not been altered by hot combs, flat irons or chemicals (through perming, relaxation or other straightening methods).
Each strand of this hair type grows in a tiny, spring-like helix shape.
 The overall effect is such that, compared to straight, wavy or curly hair, afro-textured hair appears denser.
This term refers to hair and is a combination of the terms nappy and natural.
 Patricia Gaines, using the web identity "Deecoily" first coined the word nappturality in 2002 and created a website of the same name that year.
 The term has been used primarily by African American women who have chosen to exclusively wear their hair in its natural, afro-textured state, free from chemicals intended to straighten the hair.
 The term nappturality takes the word "nappy", which is typically used in a derogatory manner, and translates it into a word of empowerment.
 Several commercial hair products and websites have capitalized on the success of the term nappturality.
 The website of the same name, nappturality.com is the largest online community dedicated to natural African American hair care and aims to "empower Black women by helping them understand and recognize the beauty of their natural hair in its natural state".
 Examples of a napptural hairstyles include afros, braids, twists, puffs, wash and gos, bantu knots and many others.
Hair wax is a thick hairstyling product containing wax, used to assist with holding the hair.
 In contrast with hair gel, most of which contain alcohol, hair wax remains appliable and has less chance of drying out.
 Consequently, hair wax is currently experiencing an increase in popularity, often under names such as pomade, putty, glue, whip, molding gum, or styling paste.
 The texture, consistency, and purpose of these products varies widely and each has a different purported purpose depending on the manufacturer.
 Traditionally, pomade is a type of hair wax that also adds shine to one's hair.
Hair color is the pigmentation of hair follicles due to two types of melanin: eumelanin and pheomelanin.
 Generally, if more eumelanin is present, the color of the hair is darker; if less eumelanin is present, the hair is lighter.
 The darker a person's natural hair color is, the more individual hair follicles they have on their scalp.
 Levels of melanin can vary over time causing a person's hair color to change, and it is possible to have hair follicles of more than one color on the same person.
 Particular hair colors are associated with ethnic groups.
 Gray or white hair is associated with age.
