A THREE POINT GUIDE TO THE LATEST MEN’S HAIR STYLING PRODUCTS
January 9, 2023
Today, there is an array of hair styling products to help a man achieve any look from the classics to the ultra modern. Whether you want texture and volume, strong hold and shine or something in-between; there's a product to suit every scenario. In this article we'll discuss the various styling products available on the market today and how each one can be used effectively.
1. Grooming Sprays
Grooming sprays provide light hold and natural looking styles without weighing down your hair.
They are ideal for achieving loose and informal looks with minimal effort. Layrite Deluxe Grooming Spray will add texture and volume with subtle control of your hair. When using grooming sprays, it’s important not to overdo it, a little goes a long way and a few spritzes should do the trick!
2. Pomades, Pastes and Clays
These products are the essentials for creating most men's hairstyles today.
Most of us are familiar with pomade and this is the stuff for slick backs, side parts and pompadours. Pastes and clays are more modern developments and they tend to offer texture, firm hold and matte styling. Uppercut Deluxe Clay will provide these three things as well as having waxy ingredients that won't sweat out in summer. Rub a small amount between the palms of the hands to warm the product before applying to the hair.
3. Texturising Volume Powders
Lastly we need to talk about texturising volume powders;
their simplicity of use makes them the perfect product choice for easily creating texture, volume and a matte finish. Simply sprinkle onto dry hair before styling into shape with fingers or a wide toothed comb. This stuff will help you achieve maximum lift and volume while it also works very well in conjunction with other products for a perfected look.
