Pomaded is an adjective that refers to something that has been treated or styled with pomade. Pomade is a type of hair styling product that is used to add shine, hold, and shape to the hair. It is typically a greasy or waxy substance that is applied to the hair to create a sleek, polished, or shiny look.

For example, a person with a neatly combed back hairstyle that has a glossy finish can be described as having pomaded hair.
The process of achieving a pomaded look involves applying the substance to the hair, either by rubbing it between the hands and then running it through the hair or by directly applying it to specific areas of the head. Once the pomade is applied, it can be combed, brushed, or sculpted into the desired style or shape. The result is often a well-groomed appearance with a sleek and shiny finish.
Overall, the term "pomaded" describes something, typically hair, that has been styled or treated with pomade in order to achieve a specific look, such as a slick or glossy appearance.
The word "pomaded" comes from the verb "pomade". "Pomade" is derived from the French word "pommade", which in turn originates from the Latin word "pomum", meaning "fruit" or "apple". In ancient times, a common method of making hair pomade involved infusing apples with fats or oils to create a scented, waxy substance. Over time, the term "pomade" became associated with various hair-styling products that provide hold and shine, regardless of whether they contained apple extracts or not. Therefore, "pomaded" is the past tense form of the verb "pomade", referring to the act of applying or using pomade on the hair.
