Okay I have spent the last couple of days skimming through this section and am thinking of getting some pomade. Right now I use some gel and it doesn't hold worth anything! But reading this it sounds like you guys are leaving this stuff in your hair for several days. Some of the stuff I have tried before stayed greasy /sticky all day so I would imagin that your pillow would be giant grease smear.
Maybe I was using something different than you all. I want /need some hold (I have straight pinging hair) but don't want to look like a greaser or an Elvis impersonator (sorry Dane). I want more of a dryer look.
Pomade: what do you do at night?
