Hair Products for Medium Textured Hair

Instructions

• STEP 1: A light to medium hold styling gel will provide good hold whether
you’re blow drying your hair into a style or just want a firm wet look.
• STEP 2: Pomade works great for a flexible hold without any stiffness to it. Apply
to both slightly damp or dry hair and style as desired.
• STEP 3: Liquid gels are perfect for those wanting a sleek or wet look. They
disperse in the hair easily and aren’t as heavy as traditional gels.
• STEP 4: A styling paste gives a fluffy styling finish for those men wanting to
boost the body in their hair.
• STEP 5: Mousse is a tried and true favorite hair product for both hold and body.
Mousse will give a wet look if left in damp hair or the hair can be blown dry for a
softer and fuller style.

Hair Products for Fine or Thin Hair

Instructions

• STEP 1: Spray gels work great for this type of hair. You can get all the hold you
want without the risk of weighing down your hair as with traditional gels.
• STEP 2: A styling paste is also a great hair product for thin or fine hair. It will
fluff up fine hair and give soft hold. Use this product sparingly—a little bit will go
a long way.
• STEP 3: A texturizing gel or styling cream designed specifically for thin or fine
hair will give body to limp hair without weighing it down. For best results,
concentrate on applying the product to the roots of the hair and blow-dry for
maximum thickening.
• STEP 4: Mousse is also a great product to boost fine or thin hair. Apply a small
amount to damp hair and blow dry as desired.
• STEP 5: For fine hair that won’t stay in place, try a light misting of flexible hold
hair spray. These sprays will prevent flyaway hair but won’t feel stiff or sticky.

Hair Products for Curly Hair

Instructions

• STEP 1: For men who like to show off their curls, try a curl boosting spray gel.
The spray will enhance your curls and give them structure, as well as keep your
curls from going frizzy.
• STEP 2: There are also curl-enhancing pomades which will give definition to
curls as well as a healthy looking gloss to hair.
