Uppercut Deluxe Pomade Strong Hold High Shine & Barber Classic Guide

What is Pomade and its History

✨ Pomade is a styling product with centuries of history. The word comes from the Latin pomum (“apple”), since the first recipes included fruity aromas.

✔️ It is used to provide strong hold and high shine, perfect for classic men’s hairstyles such as slick back, pompadour, and side part.

✅ During the 1920s and 1950s it became a symbol of barbershop culture, remaining timeless to this day.

• ✔️ Provides hold & shine
• ✨ Ideal for classic styles
• ✅ History dating back to the 18th century

⚠️ Old pomades were fat-based and hard to wash out; modern water-based pomades like Uppercut completely changed the game.

The History of Uppercut Deluxe

✨ The brand Uppercut Deluxe was born in Australia by two barbers who wanted products truly functional for their daily work.

✔️ The name “Uppercut” is a tribute to legendary boxer Willie "Uppercut" O’Shea, symbolizing strength and discipline. Since then, the brand’s philosophy has been clear: products by barbers, for barbers.

✅ The Deluxe Pomade was the first product that conquered the world and remains the flagship of the range.

• ✔️ Founded in Australia
• ✨ Inspired by boxer Willie O’Shea
• ✅ Philosophy: “by barbers for barbers”

⚠️ Despite worldwide expansion, Uppercut stays true to its authentic identity – vintage aesthetics with modern effectiveness.

✔️ From the very first use, you notice how hair gains firmness without “hardening,” while shine remains natural and stylish. Strong hold is essential for every man who wants his hairstyle to stay in place all day.

✅ The **high shine** is the second standout feature. It adds elegance and sophistication, reminiscent of classic 1950s barber styles but with a modern twist. Another advantage is ease of use – with a small amount you can build the style you want without overdoing it.
