Use the Best Men's Hair Care Products

By Faith Kaltenbach

Good hair care starts in the shower, and finishes with the hair care products used afterwards. Use a quality body wash with natural ingredients, a nourishing shampoo and hydrating conditioner, and the results will be impressive.

Which Hair Products?

There are many men's styling products on the market today, but you don't have to try them all to figure out which ones are right for your hair. Read these mens hair care product tips to select a styling product that works for you.

Depending on your hairstyle, you may choose a gel, molding clay, mousse or spray-on hold. If you are sensitive to any particular ingredients, you can narrow your choices down to the all-natural, organic products.

So what do you need for a great look? Choose a product that fixes your hair as well as one that leaves it flexible. Call these categories fixatives and pliable. A fixative holds your hair stiff, like a good dose of hairspray or gel.

Pliable products include hair wax and pomade, or "clay" as some companies call it. Avoid buying cheap products in either category that may leave visible residue in your hair.

Hair Type

Although it can come in handy to have both products, one for an average day and one for a windy day, for instance, your hair type determines which is right for you.

If you have thin hair, it takes less to hold it in place. A heavy gel will also weigh down fine hair, so instead choose a light hold gel or mousse. Gels give hair a slick look, but if you prefer the dry look, comb through the gel after it has set. To return to the "wet" look, wet your hair and give it a quick finger combing.

As with gels, a pomade gives hair a shiny, slick appearance while maintaining a strong hold. Pomade works best on thick, lush hair. Wash gels and pomades out of your hair at the end of the night to avoid clogging pores in your scalp.

Another less common option is to use a styling wax. These petroleum-based products are great for short hair styles and can be applied just like a gel or pomade. However, because they are oil-based be sure to dry hair completely before application or it won't stick.

Look for all natural, quality ingredients that promote healthy hair in addition to providing effective styling power and hold. These mens hair care product tips will help your hair look its best no matter where or what the event is.
