I have often looked through posts and always wondered people's opinions on whether the pouring of items on the hair is better or massaging/rubbing items into the hair. I've set up a poll below.
Personally I've always found that the idea of having something massaged into the hair is more of a good punishment and makes it tougher to get out
For me the best way is to have whatever you choose to use it has to be slowly poured over my head so I can enjoy the feel of it sliding through my hair. S mirror is nice too so I can watch the process.
second guessing my vote for pouring now, not sure if i liked putting our wedding cake samples into her undies and giving front and back messy wedigies and then stripping them off her and putting the messy panties over her head. Which was a follow up to her letting me pie and cake her (face and into her undies and giving messy weddgies) and then taking her favorite pair of undewear and putting over her face
but i do love pieing and caking her, sliming and gunging her hair and face, and then colleting everything and doing re pours of the slopovers onto her head...

This I love the sensation of having the clay, batter, and glop poured over my head! I let it run down my face, onto my neck, chest, titsdown my slick oiled stomach, into my panties or bikini and it covers my pussy. Then I rub it all into my hair and over my body!
The combination of both is probably the holy grail of hair WAM ... if applied/done right ... at least for me
What works for me: For a start great smooth shiny hair that's just freshly styled for going out. Especially with long hair I love the flow and layered look of hair that glides in the shine of light. That's why I loved to work with Bea (The model with the long dark hair from the attached images). Her hair was just flawless and she was well aware of that, as well as my preference She was ok with me touching her hair during a shoot - which usually would be totally off limits for a photographer - which led to some great transitions from the described pouring to the massaging /rubbing in.
It obviously depends on the consistency of the mess if pouring is an option. Whipped cream will be hard to pour. But in any case, letting gravity and fluid dynamics do its thing initially is the most important part.
Depending on viscosity fluids will stay on top or already on pouring will work their way into the structure of a hairstyle. Letting it just work out without touching will lead to all sorts of beautiful views , like pudding dragging strands of hair over a face. That's why I always loved photography, because catching those moments and freezing them in time meant everything to me.
That's why I always instructed my models not to tough their hair initially not to ruin any work of art gravity and physics were able to create.
Once that moments passed, everything is possible and rubbing the mess deeper into the structure of the hair can be deeply satisfying. Not only to watch but as described earlier just letting my hand glide over Bea's saturated hair is a feeling I will not forget.
As for cleaning the hair after the "massage" I always opted to make life relatively easy for my models using messes that would easily wash out so that never was an issue.
