0 Comments A Good Tip For Using Hair Products

Article written by the awesome Sean Lloyd on the 12 Feb 2010

I think I read this in GQ possibly, but I can’t quite remember anymore. But it’s simple, when using a hair product such as wax or paste, you are going for a natural look and so you want the product to shape your style, but you don’t want the product to dominate. So, you simply rub the wax/paste into your hands and run it through your hair from the back, so the front has the least amount of product and looks the most natural. In this way you also have less chance of the front style collapsing (The front is generally, in guys, spiked up)

Now I’ll be honest, I have been referred to as a “Hair Whore” which is only natural, considering the outrageous number of hair products that I own.

Some of the collection…OMG

Products I highly recommend are:

VO5 Extreme Style Matt Clay

Paul Mitchell Dry Wax

American Crew Fiber

My whole thing at the moment, is to combine three products, awesome!

By the way, DO NOT use a product called ‘Dominate: Toffee’ from Clicks(Pictured above). I thought it was going to be like Fudge Hair Shaper but it’s not. Once it’s on your hands it turns into glue which is cool, but then it flakes in your hair and makes it look like snow is falling down…from your head. NOT what chicks dig.

Because my hair tends to be fine and flat, I dry my hair after showering (Don’t bother washing your hair too often) and then apply a small amount of VO5 Matt Clay to give it some texture. I apply it from the back, then just pull my hair back and forth so the product gets right in! Then after that I use a small amount of Paul Mitchell Dry Wax which gives your hair an awesome lived in look and I mess my hair up, pulling it back and forth again.

Finally, to make sure it doesn’t collapse, I finish it off with Tresemme Hair Spray. Even your chick doesn’t have this many hair products! But when getting stuck into a serious hair product addiction, the tendency is to push the limits as far as you can. Plus, let’s be honest, when your hair looks awesome, you feel awesome.

And I pay for awesome with a massive collection of waxes, sprays, pastes and God knows what else.

YEAH!
