Whether you’ve got frizzy hair, curly hair, straight hair, or very little hair, we’ve got you covered.
Here are the styling tips to get a neat hair look for men:
1. HAIR STYLING PRODUCT
Wax, paste, gel, clay, cream, pomade, goop, slime… whatever. Which one should you use?
It depends on the look you’re going for. Pastes and clays are better for that messy, casual look.
Gels are more suited to that Leonardo di Caprio in Wolf of Wall Street style (slick hair, but not insane).
Creams and gels should be worked into wet hair. Not sopping wet, mind you, but towel-dried. You can either finger-comb creams and gels in, or you can use a standard plastic comb for a sleeker look.
With all products, gather up a dime-sized dollop and warm it up between your palms, then work it in from the roots. If you don’t warm it up and spread it out, you can end up with a sticky mess on the back of your head.
2. ADDING VOLUME
The modern pompadour is often paired with a taper, or fade as in the above. For a rundown on the differences between a fade, taper, and taper fade. To add volume to your hair, use a blow dryer and a comb.
Keep combing your hair up and drying at the same time and you’ll find that it tends to stay up. Another method is to blow dry your hair upside down. Let gravity do the work for you.
3. CLEAN UP AROUND THE EDGES
Grooming is all about maintenance, gentlemen.
Keep a small electric razor on hand so you can clean up around the edges of your hairline.
This keeps your hairstyle nice and tidy between haircuts. After a little while, your hair will obviously start to regrow to the point where you’ll need another haircut. But using an electric razor for maintenance will save you both money and time.
4. DRY SHAMPOO
Dry shampoo is awesome. Having a bottle around is particularly helpful if you’ve just had a late night with too many drinks and your eyes feel like fuzzy hamburgers.
Or you know, if you’re traveling.
It’s sort of like the deodorant of hair products. If you’re on the go (or again, too hungover to shower), a little dry shampoo will at least keep you from looking like a grease-ball.
Dry shampoo absorbs the grease in your hair and on your scalp, and it’s amazing what a little of the stuff can do to clean you up.
