Awesome product for thick curly hair. Calms frizz and boosts curls like a champ.

Ok, I know with curly hair you are supposed to just not wash it as much to let the natural oils keep frizz in check, but I find that my hair feels gross fast and just cannot tolerate skipping washes. Apologies to all of you who swear by that system, to each their own. Enter the miracle product. This
stuff is awesome. Used with a good conditioner, this puts the moisture back into your hair after a thorough wash and keeps the frizz under control. Worth every penny and a big bottle will seriously last you forever. Works on short hair or long hair for taming frizz without making hair crunchy. Great for thick and curly hair prone to frizz, but NOT great for thin or stringy hair as it is an oil based product. Don’t know how it would work on very coarse or kinky texture hair, but might work. If, on a bad hair day, you look like Hagrid or early-series Hermione, then this is the product for you! Make sure you start with a very small amount, start with damp hands and rub the product between your hands until it foams and develops a creamy texture before applying to very damp hair, starting from underneath (but not the scalp) and combing product through with your fingers or a very large tooth comb then just let it air dry (but don’t blow dry or comb fingers through your hair until it is totally dry because this will break up the curls). Once dry, you can gently run your hands over the style to help it loosen, but avoid combing or brushing through hair as this will separate the curl strands that have come together during drying. When fully dry, I find that the style is very resilient and flexible, even staying serviceable after getting a little bit of wind or rain. If you find that it looks greasy after fully drying, you are probably using too much product, not foaming the product first with damp hands, or not applying to damp hair. If it is still frizzy, you probably need more product, damper hair to start, or you didn’t let it fully dry. Everybody is different, so you will probably need to experiment to find the right amount and tweak how you apply it for your hair and curl structure. For short styles, and looser curl structures, you really might only need a few drops, but the frizzier and longer your hair is, the more product you will need. Just remember, it foams up quite a bit so start with less than you think you will need and work your way up.

When ordering the Paul Mitchell Foaming Pomade, large bottle, you must shake it vigorously. Unlike the smaller bottle of PM foaming pomade, that you can give a 5 second shake and use, the larger size bottle requires a 20 second vehement shake for it to perform properly, otherwise you will not achieve
the desired results, when applying to wet hair. I love Paul Mitchell Products and at first use, thought I had a knock off, until I gave it a second try a week later, by shaking it up for a minimum 20 seconds. Worked like a charm! This is the best product hands down. Not sure why, it requires more shaking now, as I have used PM Foaming Pomade for over 10 years. I have not had to shake like this before, to get the product to work as intended and expected. Overall, I am satisfied with PM Foaming Pomade. I Love This Product and hope for its continued success. However, if you did change something, please change it back, so I don’t have to shake it as much :) Thanks

The foam spreads easily through damp hair, so you don’t need much — a little goes a long way. That makes it feel lightweight even on long or thick curls.

Great When You Follow the Original Instructions

Size: 5.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I've been using Paul Mitchell's Foaming Pommade for over 15 years. It's a great finishing product that smooths and really provides a nice luster without being super shiny. Originally suggested by my hairdresser at the time and I've continued to get it even though it's become increasingly difficult to
find. But for reasons unknown, they've changed the directions and anyone using the product new may not be getting the best out of it. I find the change truly perplexing because without them, you really don't get the "foam." I don't remember the original directions word for word, but basically they are to put a small amount in the palm of your hand. Rub your hands together and separate, then wait for 5-10 seconds. The pommade will begin to take on a foaming texture, now smooth your hands over your hair. In my experience, following the original instructions gets you a unique product that is wonderfully light and effective. With the current instructions, its a bit more ordinary and not as light on your hair after you apply it.
