Mousse stands out among hair products due to its distinctive, foamy texture and iconic tin can packaging. Like gel, mousse provides light hold without leaving crunchy or sticky clumps behind on your locks.
Pomades
Hair pomade has long been used as an effective hair styling product, helping create various styles over the decades. From sleek back styles, high shine finishes, or gentleman quiffs – pomade is your solution to achieving them all and keeping them all day long!
Pomade differs from gel in that it remains flexible and easy to restyle throughout the day, while being easier than other products like wax or clay to wash out after use – both of which may lead to build-up on scalp and hair damage.
Before selecting your hair pomade, it is essential that you determine what strength of hold is appropriate for you and your hair type. There are different kinds of pomade that offer light, medium or strong hold – start out with light or medium hold options until you are comfortable using this product and switch if necessary to a stronger option.
Gels
Hair gel is an effective way to keep your locks in place and add shine without damaging or flaking the locks. It offers strong hold while adding semi-glossy shine for added vibrancy, as well as being easy to wash away, leaving no flakes behind!
The ideal gel for hair provides a medium thickness and consistency, and contains moisture to prevent damage and flaking. This versatile product can help create various styles from sleek back looks to spiky and curly looks.
Hair gels often contain proteins to encourage healthy-looking and fuller-looking hair. Protein-containing gels can reduce flyaway hair strands, smooth frizz and define curls more naturally – ideal for those who have curly locks who require help plumping up and defining curls to achieve natural definition.
Wax
Hair wax can provide a touchable, soft, and flexible grip on one’s locks. Not only can it add structure and definition to unstructured styles; but for those whose locks tend to grow out with slight buzz cuts it provides just enough texture for intentional looks while helping maintain that buzz cut in place.
Hair wax comes in both water-based and petroleum jelly-based formulations to meet a range of hair lengths and types. It typically provides a matte finish while still being easy to reshape during the day without stiffening up like gel would do.
Apply it using fingers or a brush to achieve the desired style. Make sure it has been slightly warmed between your hands before applying; dry hair works best. Additionally, this product makes an ideal addition for anyone trying to reduce vanity kit clutter since no running water or electric styling tools are necessary for use.
Clay
This hair clay offers a natural, matte finish with decent hold for men with medium hair looking to style their locks without making them stiff or overly structured. Plus, its formulation includes many beneficial ingredients that help strengthen and condition hair such as Jojoba oil and Shea butter!
Another excellent characteristic of this product is its easy removal; making it great for anyone wearing their hair in styles for an extended period. Furthermore, its fragrance will please many while perhaps not suitable for those seeking something with more subdued notes.
Hair clays are typically more modern forms of styling products and designed for less structured looks than their more classic counterparts, pomades. Hair clays often contain bentonite or kaolin clay ingredients to provide texture and thickness while giving your locks volume and thickness.
