1. Washing And Conditioning For Men With Curly Hair

Curly hair requires a little extra care when it comes to washing and conditioning. First up, avoid washing your hair with shampoo that will strip away natural oils and lead to dryness and frizz. Instead, use a shampoo rich in conditioning emollients that will add sheen, elasticity and moisture. We recommend American Crew Daily Deep Moisturising Shampoo. Always follow up with a hydrating conditioner to effectively detangle, replenish and nurture curls.

2. Styling Products For Men With Curly Hair

There is a range of hair styling products that work exceptionally well for men with curly hair, here are our top product recommendations:

To help tame those curly locks and prevent frizz, we recommend the use of a leave in conditioner or styling aid. Layrite Deluxe Grooming Spray can be applied to damp hair and provides a subtle yet well controlling hold. Redist Two-Phase Conditioners are leave in formulas that provide protection against external elements. The sprays coat and soften hair while also adding shine. Lastly, American Crew Techseries Control Foam performs extremely well in curly hair and is a powerful tool that manipulates volume and provides all day control.

3. Hair Styling Tips & Techniques For Men With Curly Hair

Styling curly hair can be a challenge, but with the right techniques, it's easy to prevent frizz and enhance those natural curls. Firstly, avoid roughly towel-drying or blow drying your hair and instead, use a towel and gentle scrunch technique to squeeze out water. Use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to distribute your chosen styling products evenly through damp hair and then leave it to air dry. This technique will add definition to your curls, prevent frizz as the hair dries out and leave it looking natural.

4. A Final word From The Barber
