fijador


Explanation:
Descripcion de Wikipedia:
Pomade is a greasy or waxy substance used to style the hair.
Pomade makes the hair look slick and shiny. Unlike hair spray and hair gel, pomade does not dry and often takes several washings to get it out of the hair. They may also contain perfume and coloring agents.
En argentina se decía Gomina, pero era una marca, el término sería fijador para el cabello.

gomina


Explanation:
¡Qué antigüedad!

Creo que éste sería el término más adecuado.

El DRAE dice...
gomina.
(De goma e -ina).
1. f. Fijador del cabello.

Me hace acordar a una película de la década del 30, "Los muchachos de antes no usaban gomina".

En fin... saludos,
Ana
