Word origin

The word 'pomade' originates from the French word 'pomade,' which in turn comes from 'pommade,' meaning 'apple.' This term was related to the use of apple pulp in some early formulations of pomades. Historically, pomades were made from various fats and oils including bear fat, and were used not just for styling hair, but also to condition it. The use of pomades gained popularity during the 19th century, especially among men who sought to enhance their hairstyles. In contemporary times, pomades have evolved with new ingredients and formulations, making them accessible to a broader audience. Modern pomades now come in various types such as water-based and oil-based, catering to different styling needs and preferences.
