“American Graffiti” captured that nostalgic end of summer feeling: the desire for that one last fling before school starts again, no matter how long it’s been since graduation. There’s something about classic cars and pompadours that get a girl’s engine revvin’!

Let American Greaser Supply help you channel your inner rockabilly with one of their three pompadour-perfecting formulas: 40wt (Forty Weight) Kustom Pomade, 90wt Flat-Top Wax and, for those who dare, Super 90wt. Flat-Top Wax, also known as “the world’s thickest flat-top wax since 1997.” American Greaser began in the Kansas kitchen of Todd and Leslie Karnahan and has managed to stay true to its small-company roots, though it’s become internationally popular and available worldwide.

You’ll want to choose your weight based on the intensity of your “pomp”. Forty weight is best for shorter styles and flat tops. It’s got some shine to it, too. Ninety weight is what you’re looking for if your pomp’s a little higher or your hair’s a little thicker. And if you’re looking for a really strong hold, for those punk rock spikes, super high pompadours or really thick hair, it’s the Super 90wt for you! Kool kats blend the formulas to get just the exact degree of hold and shine they’re looking for.

The best part is its clean, non-waxy smell. Unlike many waxes and pomades, American Greaser succeeds in maintaining a flexible hold without being too heavy or greasy. It’s sticky, that’s for sure, and will leave a residue, so running your fingers through your hair before grabbing your gal’s hand is probably a bad idea. Hey, that’s what the comb in your back pocket is for anyway!
