At AHS, we understand that men often face the challenge of finding the right hair styling products and techniques to match their personal style and hair type. Whether you’re after a sleek professional look, a textured casual vibe, or something in between, AHS Haircare has you covered with top-notch products and expert advice. Let’s explore some styling tips to help you achieve your best hair day, every day.
Know Your Hair Type
Understanding your hair type is key to choosing the right styling products and techniques:
- Fine Hair: Go with light mousses and sprays that add volume without weighing your hair down.
- Thick Hair: Opt for creams and pomades for control and definition.
- Curly or Wavy Hair: Enhance your natural texture with curl creams or leave-in conditioners.
- Oily Hair: Detox shampoos and lightweight styling products are your best friends.
Styling Basics for Everyday Looks
Achieving the perfect hairstyle doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are some foundational tips:
- Start with Clean Hair
Styling products work best on freshly washed hair. Use a shampoo tailored to your needs, such as the American Crew Detox Shampoo for a deep clean or American Crew Daily Cleansing Shampoo for everyday freshness. - Towel-Dry, Don’t Rub
Avoid rough towel drying, which can cause frizz and damage. Instead, gently pat your hair dry to maintain its natural texture. - Apply Products Strategically
Start with a small amount of product (you can always add more if needed). Work it evenly through damp or dry hair, focusing on the areas that need the most hold or definition.
Product Recommendations for Men
AHS Haircare stocks a wide range of styling products designed for every style and hair type. Here’s a breakdown of must-haves:
Pomades for Classic Styles
Perfect for slicked-back looks or side parts, pomades provide medium to strong hold with a natural or shiny finish. Try:
- American Crew Heavy Hold Pomade: Great for sleek styles that require extra hold.
Matte Clays for a Textured Look
Want a casual, effortless vibe? Matte clays are ideal for creating definition and texture without shine.
- American Crew Matte Clay: Adds texture and control for a low-maintenance, natural look.
Creams for Soft, Natural Hold
Styling creams are versatile and work well for flexible styles that don’t feel too rigid.
- American Crew Forming Cream: A great all-rounder for most hair types and styles.
Boost Volume with Powders
If you’re after extra lift and fullness, volumizing powders are your go-to.
- American Crew Boost Powder: Ideal for adding texture and volume to fine or flat hair.
Styling for Special Occasions
For events where you want to stand out, take your styling up a notch:
- Sleek and Professional: Apply a small amount of pomade to damp hair and comb it into place.
- Textured and Casual: Use matte clay on dry hair, scrunching and twisting sections for added volume.
- Curls on Point: Enhance natural curls with a curl cream or leave-in conditioner for definition and shine.
The Importance of Aftercare
Styling doesn’t end when the day does. Proper aftercare keeps your hair healthy and makes future styling easier:
- Clarify Weekly: Use a detox shampoo to remove product buildup and refresh your scalp.
- Condition Regularly: Keep your hair hydrated with a lightweight conditioner.
