Paul Mitchell Foaming Pommade on relaxed hair...how to use it?

[outspokenwallflower]

I just got a bottle of PM's Foaming Pommade today and was reading some old threads about the product...both natural's and relaxed ladies used it. Since I'm relaxed, I'm wondering in which ways I could effectively use it, especially in wash n' go's ...(I've never done one...) since I saw that a couple of ladies that are/were relaxed used it for that as well. Any help--suggestions, tips, etc. would be GREAT! Thank you in advance!

I am Relaxed. And Used it back in the day. I always thought it was a "decent" product for keeping your hair nice & bouncy. You only need a little dab. It feels very lightweight. However, too much will definitely cause build up.

I haven't used it in Years. I know I heard alot of people say the ingredients are questionable. But Overall, I think it worked well.

You have to shake well.

It kind of reminds me of Sebastian Potion 9 or Phyto 7 and/or 9. If you are familiar with their consistency.

Yeah, I believe it has mineral oil?? (I dont have the bottle on me) But over 95% of the products that I use are mineral oil free, and I don't intend on using this too often, so I'm hoping it wont cause too much or any build up. =]

It is very Lightweight. When I was going to this White Salon, after the Flat Iron, he would apply no more than a dime sized amount to give hair that extra movement. It worked like a "dream" They swore by it. It gave it shine, bounce and movement.

But, it looks/feels so light, (and Whippy) like complete nothingness, so it is easy to let it get away from you. And you think you need more than you really do.

On top of that, I am extremely Heavy-Handed with product.

I use it a dab at a time when I separate the curls from a flexirod set. I also it on my DD's length when I twist her hair. I wouldn't use it on straight hair though, it seems kind of oily if you use too much. A dab will do ya!

I Definitely Agree.
