Adapting Afro-Caribbean Hair Products for Non-Afro Hair Types

I've noticed that my neighborhood has an abundance of Afro-Caribbean beauty and cosmetic stores offering a variety of hair pomades designed for wave control. These products seem to be primarily targeted at Afro hair types, but as someone with medium brown, non-Afro hair, I find myself curious about the potential benefits these products could offer for my own hair care routine. Given that the ingredients in many of these pomades, such as S-Curl 360 and Sportin Waves, are similar to the ones found in pomades marketed for other hair types, I'm considering experimenting with them. My question for the community is: has anyone with a hair type different from Afro tried using these specific pomades? If so, what were your experiences with regard to texture, hold, ease of washing out, and overall hair health? Are there unique advantages or drawbacks that you've noticed? I'm eager to hear your personal stories or any advice before I delve into trying these products myself.
