UNDERSTANDING MEN’S HAIR STYLING PRODUCTS: WHAT TO USE AND WHEN
October 22, 2022
The modern day range of men’s grooming products is ridiculously in depth and it can be hard to know what product is supposed to be used for what purpose. So, in today’s article we will take a look at some best sellers and hopefully help you better understand men’s hair styling products, what to use and when.
What does pomade do for men’s hair?
Pomade is a soft styling product for men’s hair that doesn’t set hard like gel or hairspray. Traditional pomade is made from petroleum jelly, beeswax, or lanolin. Many modern versions are water soluble and most manufacturers provide a range with each providing different levels of hold and shine. This makes pomades very versatile and they are used to create a wide range of hairstyles including pompadours, slick backs and combovers.
What does styling clay do for men’s hair?
Clays are usually comprised of a natural clay called bentonite. When used to style the clay bonds with the hairs to make them appear thicker, and fuller. This adds a good degree of hold while providing added volume. With these attributes clays are perfect for creating loose and relaxed hairstyles with volume, texture and a natural finish.
What does styling powder do for men’s hair?
Styling powders are a modern development in the men’s hair styling space. They are commonly called volumising, texturising or mattifying powders. They come in small pucks or shaker bottles full of micronised powder that is usually derived from glycerine, silica and polymers. The powder is tacky and it binds to the hair to easily add volume and texture. A small amount goes a very long way. We recommend Uppercut Deluxe Styling Powder and we use it in the barbershop all the time.
What does sea salt spray do for men’s hair?
Sea salt spray is a hair styling aid that is often used as a pre styler or for guys seeking that natural beachie look. As the name suggests this one is a concoction of sodium chloride and usually some oils and fragrance. It is great for guys with fine or thinning hair as it adds thickness and volume. It excels in curly hair to enhance the natural curls and waves of your hair and can be used in long hair to add light lift and natural movement.
