INTRODUCTION
Hair products for men are no longer a thing of the past. Modern men need products that are fast, easy to use, and give them an effortless look without compromising on texture or hold. In this guide, we’ll take a look at 10 must-have men’s hair products that’ll have you looking and feeling your best in minutes.
- Leave-in Conditioner
Eliminate frizz and increase manageability with leave-in conditioners. The formula is lightweight and suitable for all hair types. It also provides a base for easy styling. Use ingredients such as shea butter and argan oil for hydration and shine.
- Hair Clay
Hair clay is a versatile hero that provides a natural, matte texture with medium hold. Hair clay is ideal for creating textured hairstyles such as quiff, pompadour, and side part. All you have to do is rub a tiny amount of hair clay between your fingers and work it through wet or dry hair.
- Hair Cream
If you’re looking for a more polished finish with a touch of shine, then hair cream is the way to go. Hair cream gives you light to medium coverage and helps to control flyaways without being greasy. Hair cream is great for short hair styles or to add definition to waves. It gives you a bit of control without losing your natural look.
- Hair Mousse
For fine or thin hair, mousse adds volume and texture. It’s especially helpful for textured hair, such as spikes or faux hawk hair. Use a golf ball-size amount of mousse on damp hair, then blow dry with a diffuser for maximum volume.
- Pomade
If you’re looking for a classic, curled-up look or for a high shine pomade, you’ve come to the right place. Pomades come in two types: water-based and oil-based. The water-based version has a light-to-medium hold and is easy to wash out. The oil-based version, on the other hand, has a stronger hold and a high-shine finish. Pick the one that best fits your hair type and style.
- Hair Wax
With its flexible hold and natural finish, hair wax is perfect for textured hair with a hint of seclusion. Hair wax works well on short to medium length hair and can be used all day long.
- Dry Shampoo
Dry shampoo is the best way to fight greasy roots and prolong the life of your hair. This easy-to-use product removes excess oil and leaves your hair feeling clean and fresh. All you have to do is spray dry shampoo on your hair, massage it in and brush through.
- Hair Oil
Hair oil is a great addition to dry or rough hair. It gives it moisture and shine. It also combats frizz and keeps flyaways at bay. Add a few drops to the ends and middle of damp hair. Avoid the roots for greasy hair.
- Sea Salt Spray
Take your beach waves to the next level with sea salt spray. It adds texture and volume to your hair, giving it a natural, messy texture. All you have to do is spray sea salt spray on damp hair and then scrunch with your hands to create a natural wave pattern.
- Styling Paste
Styling paste is a versatile product that offers a smooth hold and natural texture. It works best on short to medium lengths of hair and gives a texture that is lived-in. You can use it to define your waves, flatten flyaways or create an unstructured, undone look.
Choosing the Right Products for Your Hair Type:
- Fine Hair: Don’t use heavy-duty products like mousse, hair cream, or dry shampoo to weigh your hair down.
- Thick Hair: To keep your mane in place, use hair clays, hair pomades, or hair oils for a firmer hold.
- Curly Hair: If you’re looking for a leave-in conditioner, curl creams or styling gels specifically designed for curls, you’ll find products that will help define your hair’s shape and help control frizz.
- Dry Hair: Whether you’re after a leave in conditioner, a curl cream or a styling gel specifically formulated for curling, you’ll find products that help define the shape of your hair and reduce frizz.
