How to get pomade out of hair rdr2

This seems to be super unclear and the answers are kind of hard to find, so I thought I'd make a post about it.

REMOVING HAIR POMADE IN RED DEAD ONLINE

What Works:

-Go to the barber and get the "Bald" haircut, then switch to any other haircut; the pomade will be gone

-It should also wear off after 5 in-game days (4 hours of playtime), though this often feels untrue; players have reported going an in-game week without pomade wearing off

What Doesn't Work:

-Rainstorms

-Tackling people/being tackled

-Washing your face at camp

-Diving into water/swimming

-Restarting the game/clearing your cache

-Switching haircuts (other than "Bald")

Hope this helps someone.

  3. So does the Pomade hair styling stuff wear off?

Homie_202 3 years ago#1

Just got to Chapter 3 and my beard and hair are way longer. I'm letting them grow as much as they can before I shave. I used some of the Pomade stuff to slick it back. Just curious if anyone knows if it wears off after a while.

Also has anyone figured out how the hair growing actually works? It seems like the further you get in the story it gets longer. But does anyone k ow if I shave right now ha ing just got to chapter 3 will it slowly grow back to level 6?

Thanks

hair growth seems to be based only on game days and not anything else, but there will be a point where you have to use hair tonic stuff to get it to the more mountain man lengths, the game will tell you when

i think hair pomade wears off, i get a message saying it has every now and then despite the fact i never applied it in the first place

Pomade stays in for 2 days if you apply it yourself or 5 days if a barber does it. Game time that is

This is a pretty stupid problem. I basically can't wear off the pomade on my hair no matter what, can't even change haircut without it being pre-pomaded and my character just looks ultra ugly. Pls help me by writing suggestion on how to fix this

I've not used pomade in online myself, but from the little I can find online the most common answer seems to be go to a river, aim and then dive around for a while.

Sounds dubious to me, but it might be worth a try, if no one is watching lol.

I suggested a swim to someone but they said it didn't work.

Other ideas : Get in a real muddy fight. Get blown up. Get set on fire.

Go for all three just to make sure. If the pomade outlasts that lot it's worth every cent!

I'm only guessing. But if you follow the railroad tracks that go south from Emerald Station, they'll cross over the Kamassa River. If you dive off that bridge into the swampy water and the pomade is still there when you're back on dry land...

I had the same problem. It is a bit annoying. The only solution I found that actually does work is to shave your hair off, go bald, then get another haircut and it won't be pomaded. I also left the barber menu just to be safe between haircuts, don't know if that make a  difference or not.

I had mine wear off after several hours (realtime hours). Shaving bald may remove it when you want it, but patience will win out.

Yeah, it's a tough read lol. Basically, everything is irrelevant except the part about spending long periods in the snow and their hair was never affected (They never wear a hat) And obviously, they're talking about story mode.

I can confirm that this is happening to me aswell, applied the pomade 1 week ago, and the hair did not come back to normal yet, had to change my haircut to other to stand it, (even pomaded)

I have sen posted elsewhere that if you change your hair style to shaved completley bald then back to what ever you want the pomade will be gone. Other than that just wait, i have had pomade last over a wek real time and the second time just over 2 weeks, but it will eventually wear off.

How do you get pomade out of hair?

Douse your hair with a tablespoon of Ajax Super Degreaser Dish Liquid Detergent or Dawn Dishwashing Liquid and let it soak for a while. Then rinse out with warm water. Follow with a pomade shampoo (like Schmiere Rumble 59 Ex Shampoo 250ml) to get the last bit of slick out.

What does hair pomade do RDR2?

Apply to hair to slick back. Hair Pomade is one of the items in Red Dead Redemption 2.
