Men have many hairstyles to choose from when selecting their perfect style of men’s hair. From straight locks that pair nicely with low or high bald fades, wavy waves for effortless stylish looks, or curly locks for a boxy appearance, each option can look incredible with the appropriate products.
Straight Hair
Men with straight, or type 1, hair can style their locks using various products such as pomades and styling creams to style it into shape. Regular shampooing should be practiced since this hair type tends to get oily quickly. Straight hair is typically fine and curl resistant, lying flat against the scalp. Styling is effortless and requires just washes, quick blow-drys, and occasional sprays of sea salt spray for extra texture. Regular conditioning is essential to prevent dryness.
Wavy Hair
Guys with wavy hair enjoy an effortless yet natural-looking look that requires little upkeep. To keep their locks wavy, opt for a textured quiff or another haircut that allows the natural shape of their waves to show through. Light pomade can help prevent frizz, while volumizing shampoo can aid in keeping them in place. Wavy hair types can be divided into three subcategories: Type 2A with limited S-shaped patterns and Types 2B and 2C with more defined curl patterns. Lighter products and creams are preferred for best results.
Curly Hair
Curly hair can be both texturally distinct and susceptible to frizz. Men with this hair type have natural, unruly curls that may be hard to manage. They should use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioning treatments tailored specifically for curly locks to maintain healthy-looking curls.
Coily Hair
Tight, tightly coiling coils characterize oily hair in a one-inch section. This style tends to have the most closed locks compared to other curly styles and is often coarser in texture. A moisturizing pre-styler is recommended for men with oily hair to provide hold without adding stiffness or buildup.
Kinky Hair
Kinky hair forms tight coils that cluster together to form an afro texture. It requires plenty of moisture to maintain defined curls and prevent frizzing. Kinky locks are prone to dryness, so regular use of extra virgin olive oil and moisturizing products is essential.
In addition, curly, wavy, and kinky hair types can be further subdivided by curl width into distinct categories. For example, 4C hair has tightly coiling coils, and 2B has medium curls. Embracing natural hairstyles symbolizes pride, beauty, and individuality.
