Finding Your Hold: There’s a product out there for every hair type and desired style. Here’s a breakdown of the most common options:
- Sprays: Great for light hold and adding volume. Look for a texturizing spray to give your hair some body and movement.
- Gels: Offer a wet look and a strong hold, perfect for slicking back hair or taming frizz.
- Creams: Provide a medium hold with a natural finish. Creams are great for adding definition to textured styles.
- Pomades: Come in water-based and oil-based varieties. Water-based pomades are easier to wash out, while oil-based pomades offer a strong hold and a high shine.
-
Beyond Hold: For healthy hair, consider a leave-in conditioner or beard oil. These products will keep your hair and beard nourished and manageable.
Beard Products:
- Taming the Scruff: Beard oil is your best friend. It conditions the hair, reduces itchiness, and promotes healthy growth. Apply a few drops to your beard after showering and massage it in.
- Shaping Up: For a well-defined beard, you might consider a beard balm or wax. These products offer a light hold that will help you shape your beard and keep stray hairs in place.
The Refined Man Recommendation:
As always, our barbers are here to help! When you come in for your next haircut or beard trim, ask your barber for specific product recommendations based on your hair and beard type, as well as the style you’re going for.
Remember: a little product goes a long way. Start with a small amount and add more if needed. With the right products and a little practice, you’ll be a hair (and beard) styling pro in no time!
