There is nothing quite like a well-groomed man. A clean and flattering wardrobe, quality cologne and a hair do that works for you are all you need to pay attention to. You’ll be surprised about the variety of hair styles men can opt for. And once that is in place, you’ll need to do some amount of styling every day. This is where hair products come in. The range of hair products for men includes mousse, gel, pomade, hair spray, waxes and styling creams. Keep a blow dryer handy.
Styling Creams
A styling cream is perfect for a natural look. Not only can it tame the flyaways, it can also add a slight shine to your hair. It works well for both curly hair and fine hair. In case of fine hair, a small quantity needs to be used. Just a bit extra can make your hair look oily.
Waxes
Waxes are made with petroleum jelly and work well for really short cuts like flat tops and buzz cuts as well as thick hair. But if you have thin hair, steer clear of wax as it can flatten your hair. You need to take a small amount of it and rub your palms together before working it into your hair. Make sure your hair is dry before you apply it and be sure to wash it off at night.
Pomade
Pomades are the perfect way to get some shine and stop your hair from setting into a stiff style. It can be used with short hair and long hair. But avoid it with fine air as it can be too heavy for it. Depending on whether it is wax or water based you can use with hair that is a little wet or dry. Are you one of those men who is not so keen on showing off your curls? If yes, pomades and serums do a great job smoothening them out. Follow it up with blow drying.
Gel
Gels are water based and give you a wet, smooth look. If your hair is fine, use a gel that is really light. And during the day if you need to fix your hair, just wet your hands and set your hair. If you have curly hair, you’ll need to get rid of the frizz. A spray gel designed specifically for curly hair should take care of it in a jiffy and keep your curls looking their best. Spray gels can also be used on fine hair with good results.
Hair Spray
Choose a hair spray with sunscreen for extra protection. Hair sprays are a great way to keep your hair style in place. The only pointers you need to keep in mind is to check how strong the product smells and don’t overuse it as it’ll make your hair look unnatural.
Mousse
Men with fine hair can cheer up as the mousse is just right for them. Far from flattening your hair, applying mousse and then blow drying will give your hair more body.
