Oil based pomades are the devil incarnate. 6 shampoo washes, 2 washing up liquid washes and even a go with shower gel and it still hasn't come out of my hair. Not exagerating when they say "long hold"
For a cheaper alternative try adding a tablespoon of olive oil to a a palm full of fairy, and just enough water to make it into a lather. That dax works amazingly well. Remember to condition afterwards.
