What's the difference between pomade, putty and wax for hair?

I'm a guy and I want a product that will give my hair just a light texture and keep it from falling flat towards the end of the day. Nothing to shape or sculpt it too carefully, just something to run a bit through and be barely noticeable.

I have no idea what to get.

    Pomade and wax are going to be too heavy for that. They are also going to be a little shiny and have a product look. I recommend American Crew fiber. You should be able to find it in one of the salons in your local mall. I sell it to allll my male clients. I LOVE the stuff. It has a manly smell and is a pretty dry product so you wont see any shine or super stiffness. Take a pea size and rub it in your fingers then just run your fingers along the base of you hair, working the product into the scalp area. Then if you need a little on the ends add as needed. The fiber hold well, smells good and doesnt make your hair rock hard or greasy. You'll love it!

    the fundamental adjustments between all of them is their consistency and how nicely they carry the hair. the single you % relies upon on the type you go with your hair to look and what variety of hair you have. i might evade something heavy and greasy like pomade. Hair wax is stable for small areas of administration, yet you do no longer choose to objective to apply it on your complete head. So, in summation, there's a myriad of available solutions right here, and that i might want extra info for a extra particular answer.
