Styling for men, let’s agree that in recent years the styling products for men have greatly increased. At first, there was mainly gel, you know those jars with bright colors in the supermarket and drugstore. Nowadays you have paste (hair paste), clay (clay), pomade (pomade), Cream, hair wax and of course there is still gel. But what exactly is the difference between all these products and which one is best for your locks and your wishes? And have you ever stopped to think about the right styling products for your beautiful locks?
Styling Clay also known as clay
The properties of a hair clay are very interesting for men looking for hairstyles with a strong hold and a matte finish. Hair clay is often rougher and drier than wax. If you have thinner locks, clay is definitely recommended, as it creates volume and fuller locks. Applying hair clay on towel-dried hair provides even more volume and fuller locks. If you then use a hairdryer, you can add some clay or wax for styling. Find all clay.
What does paste do as a styling product for your hair?
Hair paste or hair pasta is almost the same as wax, only the texture is a bit wetter and paste gives slightly less hold. This makes paste ideal for you if you have thick and massive locks and still want to create a tousled look. The nice thing about paste is that you can work and restyle it all day long. Paste also does not dry out like gel or a water-based pomade. The variety in hair paste is huge, just like with hair wax. Some provide a strong hold, others medium or low hold. The choice in shine is also vast. Hair paste is very versatile and is used for definition, accentuation, and hold. Find all Hairpaste.
What looks can I create with Pomades?
With a pomade or pommade (NL) you can create a smooth, sleek, and shiny look. A pomade is a fairly wet product, only creams are wetter. Pomades are often used for classic looks, such as the 50s and 60s slick looks à la Elvis Presley. The hold can vary greatly with pomades, but the shine is usually high and therefore absolutely suitable for a polished look aka sharp-dressed. It ensures your locks stay in shape all day and does not harden your locks, provided you use the oil-based pomade. Pomades are a good alternative to gel, wax, and hairspray. No mess, it doesn’t stick to your hands, and the main difference is that an oil-based pomade never dries out. It shapes your locks immediately and you’re ready to go in no time.
An exception to this are the clay pomades, which are a hybrid product of pomade and clay. These often provide a stronger hold and a more matte finish. Because the styling product pomade is a bit wetter, you can also use some pomades well when working with wavy or curly locks. Find all pomade.
What looks can I create with Cream as a styling product?
Cream, also called cream, is a broad category. Cream is the wettest styling product among them. Creams can have a high or low hold, but usually hair creams have a low to medium hold. They are mainly intended for texture and control and are less suitable for sleek hairstyles. In terms of shine, a cream can have high or low shine, but usually a hair cream does not provide a matte finish. If you want an out-of-bed look or messy creation, then a hair cream is your best friend. This also applies if you want to make wavy or curly locks a bit straighter or want a bit more control.
So if you don’t want a sleek or sculpted hairstyle and want to give your messy look a charismatic twist, then a hair cream is your styling product with which you will build a long-lasting bond. This also applies when clays or waxes are too dry or strong for your thick/unruly locks, then a real cream can offer a solution for a bit more control and definition without too dry or strong hold. Find all Cream.
What do I use hair wax for as styling?
Hair wax is one of the most versatile styling products for men. Wax generally provides a fairly strong hold and is therefore a popular choice in styling. The finish can vary per wax, waxes with a matte finish as well as with a very shiny finish. Wax is usually a fairly dry/hard product that you use for structure, definition, and hold. Hair clay is just a bit drier than hair wax and paste is just a bit wetter than wax.
There are two types of waxes, a water-based wax and a wax based on petroleum or (oil), and there are also some with a bit of both. An oil-based hair wax provides a strong hold but is a bit harder to wash out than a water-based product. Because of these properties, hair wax is one of the most versatile styling products for men and can be used in both short and medium-length locks. It is also suitable for different looks. Waxes are less suitable for long locks or many slick (back) looks. Find all hair wax.
How can I style my hair with gel?
Gel with all kinds of colors in large jars for a bargain in the local supermarket and drugstore is usually the first thing you think of. However, hair gel has undergone a transformation and is no longer delivered with the familiar white flakes. That is a thing of the past. A good hair gel, if used properly, finally gives no white flakes anymore. Gel is somewhat like a water-based pomade. Both are relatively wet products, but gel is even wetter. Both also dry, with gel drying a bit harder. The hold of gel is actually always low because the product is so wet and easily falls apart.
Because the styling product gel dries relatively quickly, you can sometimes style spiky hair and other hairstyles that need some hold. The downside of hair gel is that it is not a versatile product and also not a very natural product. It is a fairly chemically composed product. It is recommended to wash gel out of your locks every day so that no residue remains for the next day, which does create white flakes. A bit of warm water and the gel is gone. Find all gel.
