since i been usin natural products my hair has literally changed texture. pomade kinda gives u that "forced" wave look, like u really trin to get waves. but i been usin saoftee cocunut oil and it gives u a great shine and makes ur waves look kinda longer and not so nappy and healthy lookin. its hard to put in words but im jus sayin try some natural products like softee, carrot cream, castor oil..... you'll notice the difference. when i get my next cut i'll post pics to show u the difference.
