When you are a kid, all it took for a great hairstyle was a quick shower and towel. When you are a teenager you experiment with various wet look, rock hard setting gels which gave you a fantastic spider’s leg fringe. Later in the teenage years, things seem to get sorted out a little bit more, and when you hit your 20’s and 30’s, it’s always good to have settled into a style which works for you.
Finding a style which works for you and achieving a style which works for you however are two very different things. With so many hair styling products on the market, it’s often difficult to choose which one is right for you. To help you along this journey, we have written this article with our top five products, how you should use them and what the end result should be.
Fish Soho Dry Fish Dry Shampoo
Bear with us… If you like to wash your hair every day, it’s likely that you have noticed that ‘resetting’ your hair every day doesn’t exactly help you achieve the style you want. That’s where this Dry Shampoo comes in, incredibly popular with the female market – it’s about time that we had a male biased dry shampoo.
Dry Fish has been formulated especially for men’s hair and as well as cleaning your hair, it offers a light hold and matte effect which helps in securing your style.
Baxter of California Clay Pomade
Blending both natural clay and wax, this pomade is one of the best products we have seen in providing hair hold and texture. It’s suitable for all hair types, provides a matte finish and leaves a secured style. To use, simply rub a small amount in the hands and apply to your hair as necessary. As an added bonus, this pomade also contains natural products including Beeswax, Lemon peel oil, Fennel oil and Sage oil.
REF. Mousse 435
This is a non-sticky mousse which increases the volume of your hair. It provides a long lasting hold and gives a weightless control to all hairstyles, without any drying effects. Simply shake can and pump the product into your hands, apply to towel dried hair and style as appropriate.
Baxter of California Pocket Comb
Informatively named, this comb is perfect for taming unruly hair during the day and no matter how old fashioned you think carrying a comb may be, we have all needed one in a number of situations. I can think of a few just off the top of my head: Windy nights out, after the gym, after a long day at work and whilst and most days during the winter months!
Baxter of California Hard Water Pomade
Designed to last all day, this water based Pomade offers a firm hold with a shiny finish. Elastic fibres within the product make the hair throughout the day. It rinses out the hair with ease, and in our view is one of the best products for maximum hold without stiffness.
