5/30/2019 0 Comments A Brief History of PomadesWe love a good origin story, and not just when it comes to superheroes. Pomades have undergone several transformations, from ingredients used to the class that uses them. No matter what, we’re happy that these tubs of grease have stood the test of time, making guys look sharp generation after generation.
We’re also thankful that bear fat is no longer a main ingredient. Read on for a bite-sized history of pomades. Where does the word “pomade” come from? “Pomade” is derived from the French word pomade, which means “ointment.” Pomade comes from the Latin pomum (fruit, apple) and Italian pomata (apple). That’s because pomades were originally made with mashed apples (as well as animal fats and herbs). Pomades were originally used as ointments and only later as hair products.

Good for Your Hair – From thinning hair to dryness, there are countless of reasons which can cause hair issues, mainly by not taking care of your health. Even if you do take care of it, ironically many of the hair products in the market actually cause more damage than said. One of the more popular uses of black seed oil is for hair restoration and promoting overall hair health. Although it’s really not concrete as to why exactly black seeds help with hair growth, one can assume that it stems from its potent antioxidant properties. Those properties are also combined with healthy fatty acids such as omega 3,6, and 9, that have shown to improve hair follicle production and strength. Black seed oil has also proven to be useful as a natural remedy for premature gray hair.

The adjective form is towheaded, and either word may be hyphenated as in tow-head and tow-headed. Towhead is first seen in 1830. Tow is another word for flax, jute or hemp that is ready for spinning. Flax and hemp that is prepared for spinning is light-colored, hence a person with hair that is exceedingly light-colored or yellow would be a towhead. The word tow meaning fiber ready to spin appears in the fourteenth century, probably from the Old Norse word to, meaning uncleaned wool or flax, unworked fiber of thread. Towheaded children’s hair often darkens as they age into adulthood.
http://grammarist.com/words/towhead/ In colonial times, families grew their own flax to make into fabric for clothing. Transforming the flax into thread was a complicated, involved process with many time-consuming steps. After the flax was harvested, it was soaked in water for several days to soften it so the inner fibers could be removed from the stalk. To separate the long, thin fibers from the shorter, coarser ones, the flax was pulled through a bed of nails or combed in a process called “towing.” The shorter fibers that were extricated were of a lesser quality and were called “tow.” This led to the term “towheads” to describe people, particularly children, whose hair resembled these strands. tow·head noun tow·head \ˈtō-ˌhed\ Tow headed is literally “flaxen haired”. This meaning of tow comes from Middle Low German touw (which means “flax, hemp fiber”). This probably went back to the prehistoric Germanic base *tow-, *taw “make, prepare” (source also of English tool), in the sense “make yarn from wool; spin”.
