Are you bored with your hairstyle? If so, you have two choices on how to proceed. You could go for a cut or even dye your hair.
But a much simpler solution is to work with what you’ve already got. As long as you have the right hair products, there is a lot that you can achieve.
In this blog post we explain the top four hairstyles for men and what you need to do in order to achieve them.
Messy Look
If you currently have a hairstyle that requires a lot of daily care, you might feel that it’s time for a look that’s a little easier to achieve every morning.
The simplest way to do this is to go for the messy look. You can simply roll out of bed in the morning and already be well on the way to having a great hairstyle.
It does require a little bit of help though. The best product to use is hair clay, as it is designed to add texture and volume, rather than shape your hair.
Slicked Back Hair
If you need a haircut that works both in a professional and social environment, then a slicked back look might be for you.
Not only is it simple to style, but it also works with almost any type of hair type and texture, including thick, thin, straight or even wavy hair.
To achieve this look, you need a product that provides a shiny finish and a strong hold, but is water based so you can easily wash it out when required.
That’s where a high quality pomade comes in. Simply work it into your hair and then brush or comb it backwards in order to achieve your desired look.
Spikey Hair
Every man at some point in their life has tried the spikey hair look.
If you haven’t, there’s still time! The key to achieving it is using a product that gives a strong hold – such as hair gel.
But you have to be careful. If you apply too much, then you’re in danger of your hair looking visibly crunchy and crusty. Not a good look at all!
Instead, start by using a small amount and slowly form spike shapes with your fingers. If you want to ensure it stays in place throughout the day, then consider using a little bit of hairspray as well, (but not too much!)
Quiff
When you think of certain hairstyles for men, they’re usually not that exciting. This can be frustrating when you’re keen to try out a new look.
But all is not lost. Have you ever thought about having a quiff?
The good news is, it’s very easy to achieve- if you use the right products. For this, we recommend a combination of sea salt spray and hair wax.
To achieve this look, you should:
1. Apply the sea salt spray to add extra texture to your hair.
2. Blow dry backwards to add volume at the roots.
3. Simply scoop a pea sized amount onto your hand and rub them together. Coat your hair with your hands for a more textured look or use a comb if you want to look smarter.
4. Finish with hairspray for extra hold if required.
