The Glacial Clay Pomade is great to help you achieve a high ponytail look that gives you an instant facelift. Who remembers Kim Kardashian iconic 2018 Met Gala look? It lives rent-free in my mind since then!

Here are some quick and easy steps to follow to recreate the look:
If you’re starting with wet hair, I would highly recommend using the Glacial Cream on your wet damp hair and then proceeding to dry the hair. If your hair is already dry, then you can skip this step.
Place a pea size amount of pomade onto the center of your hand, making sure you rub the product into your hand before applying it on the hair so it doesn’t feel clumpy.
Brush your hair up and secure the ponytail with a hair tie.
Finally, run any excess product down the ponytail to keep the pony looking slick and gathered together.
The Slick Back Look
If you’re looking for a formal and easy hairdo, then the slick back is for you. In addition to using the Glacial Cream as your pre-styling product, you’ll need a comb to help you comb all the hair back.

If you’re starting with wet hair, I would highly recommend using the Glacial Cream on your wet damp hair and then proceeding to dry the hair. If your hair is already dry, then you can skip this step.
Start with a small amount of the Glacial Clay Pomade and add more product into the hair as needed.
Once you have enough product in the hair, use your comb of choice to push back the hair helping to flatten and stick the hair to the scalp.
The Tousled (Messy) Look
Probably my favorite way to use the Glacial Clay Pomade is when I’m trying to give my hair that lived-in, tousled look.
It’s an effortless hairstyle that looks so natural yet put together; 2025 is all about using products to achieve natural looks.
You should start with clean, damped hair. I always use the Glacial Cream on my hair while it is still wet specially when I want to achieve a tousled look. You can airdry or use a blowdrier with a diffuser if you’re on a time crunch!
At this point, your hair already should have a messy look to it but you want to use the Glacial Clay Pomade to add some texture and for it to hold all day.
If my hair is feeling too flat, I use a curling iron on low heat to create light beach waves which I will comb though to give me a tousled effect.
The Curly Look
This is a classic. If your hair is curly, why not show it off? The key to a good curly hairdo is to make the hair look healthy and moisturized.
The Glacial Clay Pomade is the best way to achieve curls that will last all day without looking dry and crunchy.
Start with wet hair and apply the Glacial Cream to the hair to while it is still damp.
Depending on the length of your hair, start by taking small amount of the Glacial Clay Pomade ensuring to rub the product into you hands before applying to the hair.
Spread the product evenly and create texture using you hand. As the hair dries, you will have beautiful curly hair without the frizz or crunchy feel.
The Bottom Line
There are plenty of more looks you can create with a pomade, but these are the best hairstyles for any pomade user. These hairstyles can be customized for your specific hair type, length and texture. A helpful tip is to always start any hairstyle with small amounts of product and build the product up; adding product is always easier than trying to remove excess amounts.
