A BARBER’S GUIDE TO USING MEN’S HAIR STYLING POWDERS
October 19, 2022
In today’s article we will take a deep dive into the realm of men’s hair styling powders, break down what they are and then look at the best powders on the market and how to use them as part of your hair styling regime.
What are men’s hair styling powders?
Men’s hair styling powders are a modern development in the men’s hair styling space.
They are products that have been specially formatted to create texture and volume in men’s hair styles.
Powders generally provide a medium to high level of hold and a textured matte finish. They are primarily composed from a micronised mixture of silica, glycerine and polymers. The tacky powder bonds to hairs, creates friction, texture and control.
What are the best men’s hair styling powders?
Here at the barbershop we use men’s hairstyling powders in our workflow every day. We use only the finest hair styling products and we stock the same range of products on the retail shelves for our customers to purchase. When it comes to the men’s styling powders that we use and recommend it is Uppercut Deluxe Styling Powder and American Crew Boost Powder.
How are men’s hair styling powders used?
Men’s hair styling powders can be used on their own or in conjunction with other styling aids. For short messy and textured hairstyles the powders are usually used on their own and offer adequate hold and control. For longer hairstyles the powders are often used as a foundation and are complimented by the use of a pomade, paste or clay. One of the most appealing attributes of men’s hair styling powders is that they are very simple to use, application is as easy as dusting over the hair and then pulling into the desired style.
