In the last couple of years or so there's been a trend of barbershops appearing and more men taking an interest in grooming their hair/beard.
As a result of this, there's been an interest in buying/using pomade. Almost all of the pomade being sold in my country is imported from the US so there's an extra cost of importing and due to being produced in a more expensive country. I noticed there's noone making any pomade in my country and I thought of doing it myself and selling it for a fraction of the cost of the US imported varieties. It's quite an easy product to make, just need to find someone who can produce it and package it and I'll do the rest myself.
Is this an okay idea or is the fact that noone's jumped on the idea yet mean there's not really a market for it?

I would hurry if I was you. Someone else is probably going to do the same because these types of hypes are easy to spot.

Test the idea cheaply (landing page + some cpc traffic)
If it works, go for it

You can make your own pomade. I don't know how crafty you are but its super simple.
Also pomade is pretty expensive (well most of them) and you could make a decent buck.

Thanks for the idea. Are there any other ways to get a good idea of the demand for the product? I was thinking of calling barbershops or contacting online stores selling the pomades and asking if they know enough.
Silly question but by asking around is it possible someone would steal my idea?

Definitely good approaches. You can get typical order sizes and estimate the national market. Also you can get insight in which brand they prefer and why which helps you in your product development.
It's a possibility but even absolutely amazing ideas are basically never stolen because implementing those ideas is hard work. On the other hand, just because there's a competitor doesn't mean that you can't succeed.
