STYLING TIPS
Sometimes a simple tip is more powerful than a million words. Check these out, they might change your life forever!
TIP 1: Switch to matte products if you’re thinning
For many men, hair thins out as they hit their thirties and forties. To make it look thicker and more manageable, use a matte styling paste or clay. Matte products absorb light and instantly make hair appear a little thicker. Ideal products are American Crew Fiber or Fudge Matte Hed.
TIP 2: Use your cool-shot button for stubborn hair
Everybody’s hair is different in terms of thickness and texture. If your hair is stubborn in getting the style you’re after – break down its hydrogen and salt bonds by wetting it so it bends easier, then fix those bonds into shape when blowdrying by using the hot air first and then blasting it with the cool-shot button to blast cool air to lock it into place. Finish the look off by using a moulding cream like Difi, or forming cream, or using a lock in spray such as Fudge Membrane Gas or Skyscraper.
TIP 3: It doesn’t have to look like you’ve got product on to bring out the best style in your hair
Most people that don’t use product say they don’t want their hair to look like it’s got anything in it. If you completely dry your hair first then use natural looking products like American Crew Boostpowder to give you volume and hold or American Crew Defining Paste to bring out texture in your choppy long style it will give your hair great style and control without looking like you’ve got anything in it.
