The great thing about a pomade is that, after it’s been applied, it doesn’t leave your hair too rigid. It provides excellent hold whilst still remaining pliable. The American Crew Pomade is one of our classic favourites. Rub it between your hands and apply through the hair, then comb or brush into place for a great sophisticated finish.

Generally more liquid-based than wax or pomade, a good styling cream will leave your hair manageable without drying it out and give just enough hold to emphasise the style of your barnet. It is both easy to wash out and easy to apply and we recommend that it’s always applied to dry or near dry hair. At Jacks we love the Moroccan Oil Hydrating Styling Cream, it is brilliantly hydrating (exactly as it says on the tin), and provides just enough hold to make you look like a true dandy. 18
