A great haircut is only half the equation. The styling product you use affects how your hair looks, feels and moves throughout the day. Hair clay and pomade are both versatile choices, but they offer noticeably different results.

What does hair clay do?

Hair clay is a strong option when you want separation, definition and a more natural-looking finish. It works particularly well for textured crops, short-to-medium cuts and styles where visible movement matters more than shine.

Try Daimon Barber Texture Clay when you want to build texture. Start with a small amount, warm it between your hands and work it through dry hair. Add a little more only where needed.

What does pomade do?

Pomade helps bring hair together into a more deliberate shape. It is often a useful choice for side parts, swept-back styles and looks that benefit from a tidier finish. Different pomades have different levels of sheen and flexibility, so always check the individual product description.

Daimon Barber Original Pomade is available in Canada through Oriac. Work a small amount evenly through your hair, then use your fingers or a comb to create the shape you want.

Clay or pomade: which should you choose?

• Choose clay for a textured, less polished appearance and extra separation.
• Choose pomade for a controlled, groomed style that benefits from smooth definition.
• Experiment with application on slightly damp versus dry hair, following the specific product directions.

Keep styling simple

The best result starts with a small quantity of product. Build gradually and focus on distributing it evenly, especially near the roots. Explore both Texture Clay and Original Pomade on Oriac Canada to find the finish that suits your haircut.
