At Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing, we don’t just cut hair; we teach you how to style it like a pro. Follow this guide to master hairstyling at home!
1. Choosing the Right Styling Product
The product you use makes a huge difference in how your hair looks and holds throughout the day.
✔ Pomade – Best for slick, classic styles like a side part or slicked-back look.
✔ Matte Clay – Ideal for adding texture and a natural finish for messy or textured styles.
✔ Gel – Perfect for strong hold and a wet-look effect.
✔ Sea Salt Spray – Great for casual, wavy, and tousled styles.
Pro Tip: Always start with a small amount of product and add more if needed.
2. The Right Hairstyle for Your Hair Type
Not all hairstyles work for every hair type. Here’s a quick guide:
✔ Straight Hair → Works well with pompadours, slick backs, and side parts.
✔ Wavy Hair → Looks great with textured crops and messy styles.
✔ Curly Hair → Best suited for short fades or longer curly-top styles.
✔ Thinning Hair → Keep it short and use lightweight styling products for volume.
3. Step-by-Step Hairstyling Routine
Mastering your hairstyling routine can make a huge difference in how long your style lasts. Follow these steps:
- Wash & Condition: Use a quality shampoo and conditioner suited for your hair type.
- Towel Dry & Apply Pre-Style: Use a heat protectant or sea salt spray for added volume.
- Blow Dry for Shape: Use a round brush or fingers to add texture while drying.
- Apply Styling Product: Work pomade, clay, or wax through your hair for hold and definition.
- Set Your Style: Use a light-hold hairspray to keep your style in place all day.
Pro Tip: Blow-drying your hair in the direction you want it to stay makes styling easier.
4. Common Styling Mistakes to Avoid
Even the best haircut can look bad if styled incorrectly. Here’s what not to do:
-  Using too much product – Makes hair greasy and heavy.
- Applying product to wet hair – Always apply to damp or dry hair for best results.
-  Skipping heat protection – Avoid damage by using a heat protectant spray before blow-drying.
- Not getting regular trims – Keep your haircut fresh with a visit to Allan’s every 3-4 weeks.
