Hair Styling For Guys

What are some hair styling tips for Asian men?

I'm an Asian guy, and I totally know what you mean about the hair sticking up-- apparently our hair is stronger and thicker and resists flattening down smoothly like white people hair! But that's not to worry; if you grow out the hair on the sides of your head to 3-4 inches, you can use a bit of pomade to keep it down while playing with interesting looks for the rest of your 'do! You can keep some bangs 4-5 inches long in the front of your face. This is versatile because you sweep them to the side, sweep them back (upward), or let them dangle over your forehead. In addition, you can cut the hair on the top of your head to 2-4 inches and play with some pomade/gel. This can contrast the conservative-looking side part of your bangs, for example, with a messy, just-out-of-bed look for the rest of your hair, an interesting juxtaposition that she is sure to notice. To do this, first wet your hair slightly (a shower and slightly drying it with a towel works great, or a spray bottle filled with water), and get some pomade or gel (Crew or the Japanese Gatsby Moving Rubber, for example). Put it on your fingers. Mess up your hair so it sticks up, possibly mostly waving in one direction, and rises maybe 1-2 inches from your head.To keep the hair on the sides of your head from sticking up, first wet your hair slightly. Get some pomade (American Crew seems popular, find a hold that works for you) and smoosh a small bit among your palms this time. Run them down the hair on the sides of your head, and finish by using a blow dryer at a 45 degree angle facing down and outward, held a few inches above your head for each side. The blow dryer will dry your wet, pomade-d hair in a downward direction and keep the hold for the rest of the day, helping your pomade keep loose hairs from springing up. The key is to smooth down the sides AFTER you do the top of your head, or else you'll mess up your perfectly-messed-up look! Remember to wash the remaining gunk off your hands!

Styling men’s hair is easy. The difficult part is choosing the right tools for it. The only difference between good hair and bad hair is the products and tool you use to style your hair. Assuming you have a good haircut.Ideally, you should always start wet, and use a hair dryer(blow dryer) to give your hair some form. Optionally, you can put some styling product on your hair before you dry it. After the hair-drying process, styling is necessary for a good hairstyle.You should choose your styling product carefully now. It all depends on what type of hair you have. For example curly hair needs texturizing products for best results, while fine/thin haired guys should not use heavy products because it will just drag down their hair. I can’t tell you everything here, you should check out this blog: Men's Hair Products. It tells you everything you need to know.Now you should style your hair with the chosen product, whether it’s a texture powder, wax, clay, pomade whatever. Emulsification is important! The product must be spread equally throughout your hair. Different products need different tools: for pomade go with a tight comb, for wax your hands are enough…etc.You can also combine products for better results, like the texture powder and wax, but remember: order is important. You should not use a finishing product before a prestyling product.
