So there you are looking in the mirror, wanting to look good, styling your hair,
going for a particular hairstyle. Now you know what hairstyle you're going for,
what you want your hair to look like. Perhaps you're shooting for
a classic pompadour or maybe the slick back look is your thing.
Or don't tell me you're the classic side part kind of guy. Maybe a crew cut or a quiff,
perhaps a textured top or a faux hawk. That being said,
the path to your coveted style can be a bit confusing when there are tons.
I mean, literally hundreds of hair products on the market today. And let's not even get
into all the different types of hair brushes and how they style your hair
differently. So first up, let's cover the different hair products.
Now, some of you guys may be thinking, I've been using the same product for years,
I don't need a new one. And others may be saying, well, I've never used a hair product,
why would I start? Well, the reality is you don't have to use any hair product. But if
you want certain hairstyles and you want them to last, you want them to stick around throughout the
day and you want them to look good, you do want to find the right product for that hairstyle.
Now, when choosing a hair product,
there are six factors you want to look at. First up, hold. Next up, shine.
Then you want to find a product that is going to work with your hair type. Three other factors that
I know for me personally are a little bit less important are the ease of clean, its ability to be
reshaped throughout the day, and how does it hold up to heat. Now, there are certain hair products
that work better for different hairstyles and I'll talk about that a little bit later in the video.
But first up, when you're selecting the right hair product for you, you want to, first up,
look at hold. And most hair products are going to have this listed as to whether or not they've got
a medium, they've got a high, or they've got a low hold. Next up, you want to look at shine.
And this is basically going to be is light reflecting off. So there's going to be high
shine, low shine, and there's going to be a matte finish. Basically no shine.
Next up, you've got ease of cleaning. Is this going to easily wash out of
your hair? If it is easy, it should rinse out with just water. If it's going to be
a little bit more difficult, you're going to have to shampoo to get the product out.
Next up, the ability to reform. This is if an hour or two later you wanted to reshape your hair,
you could unless it has no ability to reform and then it's just simply going to break the
hold. And yeah, you're going to be like, you don't have any product in your hair.
Next up, some hair products say they work better with different types of hair. Now,
this isn't consistent across brands, and you really have to just take it with a grain of salt,
because I know people that say, hey, they just love putting a mousse in straight hair
and it works for them. And finally, how does the product react to heat? I'll tell you,
the vast majority of products out there work perfectly fine with blow dryers.
Gel is maybe the only one that really doesn't have any effect. And so, yeah,
if you're going to be using a blow dryer, probably not best to use gel. And speaking
of blow dryers, I know the majority of men out there don't use one on a daily basis.
But here's the thing. They're not just for drying your hair fast. If you want
your hair to have more volume, if you want to style it in a way that it's going to go
in a direction and stay there all day, guys, you need to be looking at a good hairdryer.
Now, Gents, if you're in the market for a hairdryer, you need to check out today's sponsor,
Leifin. This is their swift hairdryer. And I have to say, this thing is frigging amazing.
First up, as a guy, I respect power. This thing right here, a 110,000
rpm a minute brushless motor with powerful airflow. We're talking 22 meters a second.
What that translates into is that this thing will dry your
hair 50% faster. It's incredibly quiet. We're talking 59 decibels.
In addition, it's incredibly lightweight. And I like how it's balanced because the motor is right
here in the handle. What that translates into is it makes it easier for you to style your hair.
You're not having to worry about the weight and how this thing's getting heavy after two to
three minutes. No, you're simply in there styling your hair in the style that you want. I also love
how they got this smart temperature control system that literally checks the temperature
100 times a second, making sure the hairdryer doesn't overheat and doesn't damage your hair.
And with their tricolor Led lights, you've got three temperature settings. You can go cool,
you can go warm, or you can go hot. But even their hottest hot will not damage your hair.
Let's talk about how this thing is built to last ten minutes a day for 16 years.
That's what they're projecting. You'll be able to get out of this thing 1000 hours.
And the price, guys, if you compare this to their competitor, Dyson,
you're going to find that this is half the cost. I'm telling you, Gents, if you've got thin hair,
if you've got lifeless hair, you want to use a quality hair dryer to give it texture,
to give it body, to make it look good. So again, use that link in the description of today's video.
Take advantage of this deal. It's not going to be around forever. Seriously,
guys, the best deal you're going to find on the web for the Lathe Swift Hair Dryer.
Now, when it comes to hair products, hold and shine,
I know some of you guys want this really simple. So I created this chart right here. Now again,
this chart does have its limitations because there aren't standards across the industry.
So different brands, when they make a wax or they make a paste, it may have different levels of
hold and shine, but in general, this chart should hold up. That being said, I do want to talk about
some of the most common products out there and their properties. Now, first up, we've got paste.
Now, the hold here is going to be medium. It's going to provide a
good amount of hold and flexibility. Now, the shine is going to be relatively low,
so you can get a more natural look with it.
One of my favorite parts about paste, easy to clean. So you can simply rinse your hair with
water and it should come out. Another great thing about paste is it's relatively easy to reform.
So you could run some water through your hands, run it through your hair, and you should be able
to reform even into a different hairstyle. Paste works very well with a blow dryer.
And the best hairstyles I find that work with paste are going to be straight and wavy hair.
Now, speaking of the different hair types, there are four main types. There's going to be straight
hair, there's going to be wavy hair, curly hair, and finally, coily hair. And to keep it simple,
they're often called type one, type two, type three, and type four.
But where it gets complicated, except with straight hair, we've actually got
three types of each. So when it comes to wavy hair, we've got two A, two B,
and two C. Next up, with curly hair, we've got three A, three B, and three C.
And finally, with coily hair, we've got four A, four B,
and four C. Next up, we've got Putties, Clays and Muds. And I'm
going to group these together because they are very similar in performance.
So first up, all three are going to have a strong hole. I personally like these and I use them a lot
in my hair because I just simply like the way they keep the hairstyle all day. Another thing
I love about all three of these is that they usually have a matte or a low shine finish.
Again, it really depends on the brand. I also love how all three of these wash out easily. The
only exception I've had, some companies, their clay takes a little bit of shampoo to get out.
I also love their ability to reform throughout the day. Clay is really
good about this. You should be able to, four or 5 hours later, be able to restyle the hair.
The other two do a good job as well. All of
these work well. Hold the style when you're using them with a blow dryer.
And they work for pretty much any hairstyle and gents. If you're enjoying today's video,
if you learned something new, do me a favor and
smash the like button. I appreciate it when you guys engage with these videos.
Next up, we've got Pomades and waxes. And both of these are
going to have a high hold. If you want your hair to do something and you want
it to hold it pretty much all day, pomades and wax are where it's at.
We're also going to get a lot of shine with both of these products. So if you want something that
looks a little bit dressier, something's going to be a little bit more slick, pick back something
that's going to keep your hair down. Both of these products are good options.
Now, these products do work best with straight and wavy hair. In addition,
both of them work fine with heat. And finally, let's talk about cleanup.
What's the big difference here? Wax is harder to get out. You're definitely going to need shampoo,
maybe even sometimes shampoo twice to get the wax out of your hair. Pomade,
you can rinse out some brands.
Other brands you will need a light shampoo. So having said that,
you may be wondering why even go with wax. Well, first up, it's been around for thousands of years.
It is historically one of the oldest products that men have used in their
hair on their beards. It's also natural in many cases. So a lot of people just gravitate
towards something that they understand what it is and hey, it gets the job done.
And they don't mind washing their hair to get it out. Next up,
let's talk about hairspray. So first up, there are all different types of hairsprays out there.
So read the label. Is this a high hold or is it a medium hold? There
is going to be a difference. Is this going to be a flex or is this going
to be for texture? Some hairsprays actually don't have that much hold.
They're just for adding a little bit of texture to the hair. Especially if you've got thinning
hair. Hairsprays usually come out pretty easy so you can rinse them out with water.
That being said, when it comes to reforming them, most hairsprays
fall flat on the face. They're more like a one use. But they do have in general a high hold.
Now, as it hairsprays usually form their hold, once they dry,
it's going to be something that you want to strategically use it with a hair dryer,
usually after you've got the hairstyle looking in the way that you do. But again,
if you were to run a comb through it, about an hour later, you're going to break up the hold.
And unless it's again a flex hairspray and even those, I would rather go with a different product.
All that being said, one of the great things about hairsprays is they work
with pretty much any hairstyle. Now let's talk about personally my favorite product,
and that is going to be fiber. Fiber has a strong hold, but it has a very low shine.
In fact, you can find matte fibers out there that it doesn't even look like
you have product in your hair, yet it keeps a longer hairstyle
exactly where you want it. So if you want a pompadour, if you're going for a quiff,
fiber is really nice. I also find it's incredibly easy to reform throughout the day.
But you may find it's a little bit difficult to get out. It's
not necessarily going to rinse out with water. You will have to use a light shampoo.
Fiber also works well with heat. So if you want to blow dry into a set style boom,
you're going to be able to do that. And it works with a variety of different hairstyles.
Pretty much all hairstyles except for coily. Next up, let's talk about gels.
So you're going to get a strong structured hold and it's going to have a high shot.
Gels are relatively easy to rinse out of the hair, but when it comes to reformation throughout the
day, you're not going to be able to do that with them. Gels work best for straight or wavy hair.
And when it comes to heat, this is one of the few products that really isn't in enhanced.
Whenever you use heat with it, it can cause the hair to lay down. Next up,
let's talk about styling creams. You're going to find the hold is relatively low.
They will have a medium amount of shine and they're relatively easy to wash out of the hair.
Now their ability to reform is high and they do work well with heat. You may be wondering,
well, why do I want something with low hold? Because it's all about frizz.
If your hair goes all over the place, you're going to find putting a styling cream can make your hair
look very natural without having that frizz all over the place. And another great thing about
styling creams is they work for pretty much any hairstyle out there. And let's not forget mousse.
So mousse usually has a low shine and it's got a low hold. It's really easy
to rinse out of the hair. And throughout the day you can actually reform the style.
It works well with the heat. And similar to a styling cream,
it does reduce frizz. But one of the big advantages of a mousse is it's going to
be something that you can basically work through the hair and it will protect the hair.
So if you've got coily hair, mousse is going to be a great product for use in your hair.
Now let's talk about all the different hairstyles and what products you would
want to use to get that particular look. First up, we've got the classic pompadour.
Comes in a variety of different styles here, but I'm going to recommend a pomade, a wax,
a fiber, or a styling cream. Now, obviously, if you want a pompador with a bit of shine,
you're going to go with the products that have the shine. Next up, we've got the Quiff.
Now, of course, it comes in a variety of different styles, different lengths,
but I'm going to recommend paste, clay, or mousse. Now, of course, you can use some of
the other products you used in the pompadour, such as the pomade, such as the wax. But right here,
kind of where I'm leaning towards, is for you to experiment with different products.
Seriously, gents, it's such an easy way to change up the look of your hairstyle. Now,
if you've got a shorter hairstyle, like a crew cut, definitely check out paste, wax, wax or
fiber. By using these products, you're going to give your crew cut a natural, structured look.
And again, you can use something with a bit higher shine. There's a variety of other
products you could of course try. Now, what if you're going for that slick back Wall Street
type of look there? Well, for this look, my first choice is going to be a pomade.
You could also try a gel. You could go with a wax. And if you want something with
a little bit less shine, maybe try a mud, a clay, or a putty.
Now, what about the classic side part? Again, it depends on the length and how much shine, how hold
you're going for here. Or you could even throw in a pomade and try that. Now, what about the
faux hawk? So here we're wanting a little bit of spike, and we definitely want a strong, high hold.
Do we need shine? Probably not. So in this case, I'm going to recommend a putty, clay,
or a fiber. Now, what if you just got curly or wavy hair? You want
it to look like you almost don't have any product, but you want to avoid the frizz.
Well, in this case, you could maybe look at a hair serum. You could look
at curl defining creams. You could look at a mousse, you could look at a styling cream.
So what video to watch? How about how to add volume to your hair? In this video,
I break out how to use a hair dryer, and I show you how to add volume to hair,
because this is something that I think a lot of guys could use,
especially if you've got thinning hair. If you have just hair that falls on your head and yeah,
it's flat, you want to give it some body. Guys, check out this video right here.
Boom. Yeah, it's a good one.
