Hey y’all, I’ve been growing my hair out for a couple of months and it’s reached around 2 and a half inches all around, and I’ve been thinking to rock a sort of messy slickback sort of style with some hairs falling on the front till it gets long enough to do middle/side parts. Also my hair physically can’t slick back because of its thickness so it’d probably look like a brushback. I’m looking for a wet look with decent hold, and am completely clueless on what pomades to go for. I was thinking to go with based at first but they’re $30 for only 3 ounces, and I think they’re probably a bit overhyped lol. My max budget would probably be $20 - $25 (depending on the quantity of product). I’d also appreciate some styling tips, like how often I can use it and when/how to wash it off.
