Five Hair Products every Man cannot live without
Today’s man is a discerningly well groomed, impeccably styled icon in contrast to the messy heads of a decade ago. Perfect man grooming is vital in the quest for looking good and more importantly, feeling good. Keep mens hair on point and perfectly coiffed with the right products.
Here are a few suggestions for five essential hair products that will boost confidence and keep you looking snazzy.
Hair wax
Texturizing hair wax gives your hair a controlled, polished look and avoids the gloopy look that can come from adding too much hair gel. Hair wax (putty, clay or glue) is great for guys with straight or wavy hair and is the perfect product to use on a daily basis. It makes hair look effortlessly styled with a medium hold and the lowest shine of all hair products. Wax can be applied to damp, dry or towel dry hair to give a non-glossy, well-formed look. Add more for more strength, depending on the style. Choose a scented hair wax to increase the appeal.
Pomade
Pomades are hair wax’s classic and classy cousin. The shiny finish and amazing hold that pomade offers makes it perfect for slicked-back styles. Ideal for longer hair and styles that don’t need a lot of movement. Perfect for the swept back, lumberjack hipster hair of today!
The shiny finish and superior hold of pomades are what really separates them from hair waxes.
Styling cream
So pomade and hair wax are similar but styling cream is a totally different product. A good styling cream takes the place of those old friends, gel and mousse. Styling cream tames frizz and unruliness to bring style, volume and a clean natural look to your hair. In short, styling cream will leave your hair manageable without drying it out.
Dry Shampoo
Trust us. Your female counterparts are fully versed in the benefits of a good dry shampoo. Dry shampoos are perfect for those days when your hair doesn’t look its best, but you haven’t the time or resources for a full wash and style. It also comes into its own at the end of a long workday, when evening invitations beckon and your hair needs a pick me up. Dry shampoos soak up sebum (oil). A good dry shampoo will fast become one of you favourite go-to hair products.
Beard Oil
Ok. We cheated a bit on this one. This is a product every man can do without. It’s lost on you if you don’t actually have a beard. But, if you are sporting a proud jungle of facial hair, you really need to get you some beard oil! Beard oil is used to nourish the skin under the beard itself, hydrating, softening and ultimately taming the beard hair itself. This handy little bottle does two jobs. Skin care and double duty as a styling agent.
