My tips for styling thick hair for men

 

Thin out to style your thick hair

Before giving you my advice for styling your thick hair properly, you will have to go through the hairdresser box. Indeed, the objective here will be to prepare them well and make it easy for you to style them on a daily basis.

Because the main drawback when trying to style thick hair for men lies in their density. They are thick and dense, which can make styling difficult. Also, it is necessary to thin out your thick hair regularly. For this, depending on the density of your hair and its growth, it is advisable to go to the hairdresser every 15 days to 3 weeks.

So if you have a hair clipper, you can try to do it yourself.

Don't over wash your thick man hair

If you have thick hair, it is not recommended to wash your hair too frequently. Normally, you should wash your hair with shampoo between 2 and 3 times a week. But we tend more and more to shampoo every day, and that's not good. Too many shampoos risk making them greasy, and with the use of styling products, this can be bad for the hair.

So, do not hesitate to wash your hair with clean water every day, without necessarily using shampoo. You could reserve the shampoo the day you plan to shower after a workout.

Either way, if you're using a men's styling wax or other styling product, don't use shampoo every night, just rinse with clean water.

Steps to style thick hair for men

Blow dry before styling your thick hair

Before applying a styling product, it will be necessary to dry your thick hair well. It is in fact not recommended to apply a styling product to wet hair, unless you want to have a wet effect hairstyle, Italian style.

To properly dry your thick hair:

  • I advise you not to use a hair dryer which will damage the hair fiber of your thick hair. Especially if you are used to using it every day.

  • prefer instead for thick hair drying with a towel. A micro fiber towel in particular will easily absorb water.

In any case, if you use a hair dryer, be careful to set the heat correctly. And take the opportunity to put the hair in the desired direction so that you can style your hair more easily afterwards.

Wax for styling thick hair

 

Also, to style your thick hair, I advise you to use a styling wax for men, taking care to choose it with a matte effect. You can of course use a styling wax with a shiny effect if you want to add shine to your hair. The advantage of styling wax for men is that it will style your thick hair while leaving it looking completely natural.
