Men’s hair styling tips

For many men, hair styling can seem like an alien concept. Unlike women, mens hair accessories like those at Mens Hair Tools, and trends are limited – or so many incorrectly think. There are, however, many ways you can style your hair and create your dream style. Hairstyling is not only for women, it’s for both sexes.

Head to the internet, research the haircut that’ll suit your overall personality and style, and see the many ways you can style. With gel, clay and wax, no style is off limits! Here are the best styling tips for the men of today.

1. Speak to Your Barber

First and foremost, it is always a good idea to speak to your barber as they will have the best personalised advice. They will be able to suggest haircuts which will suit your face shape as well as what type of product you should be using to complete the look.

2. Product

Following on from this, there are many different types of product to choose from which can make it a tricky decision. No matter what type of product you use, start with a pea-sized amount and warm it up in your palms before working it in from the roots.

Wax: Medium hold, medium shine which can be used for a wide range of styles
Gel: High hold, high shine which should be worked into wet (towel-dried) hair
Pomade: Medium hold, high shine which works well for neat, combed styles
Clay: High hold, low shine for fuller hair

3. Shampoo

A common mistake when it comes to hair is washing it with shampoo each day which can actually be damaging because hair is unable to replenish its oils fast enough. Instead of every day, wash your hair with high-quality shampoo and condi-tioner once every two to three days.

4. Managing Hair Loss

Male hair loss is a sensitive topic and something that affects many men. There is nothing worse than a combover attempt-ing to conceal thinning or baldness, so there are two options for this. You could either embrace the baldness and shave your hair completely (which can look fantastic on some people), or you could look into hair transplant treatment through a specialist like GetHair. This can work incredibly well, and it is a treatment that has transformed the lives of many men and given them a new found confidence.

5. Carry a Comb

If you have a style that needs a bit of maintenance, then it is a good idea to carry a comb around with you. Most styling products can be re-activated by wetting a comb and running it through your hair so quickly visiting the men’s room for a touch up can help you to maintain your look.

Hair styling can be a confusing world to enter for many men, yet it is worth making the effort because it can drastically improve your appearance and give you greater confidence. These tips should put you on the right path and help you to get your hair the way that you like it.
