Hair Styling For Men: Handy Tips To Make Heads Turn

We know sometimes it can get difficult to pick hair styling for men! Don’t fret - we’ve got solutions for you whether it is long hair or short hair! 

Hair Styling For Men With Long Hair

If you have a long mane, ditch the basic hairstyles and try out these unique, cool hairstyles! But before that, long hair means you’ll have to maintain a regular hair routine to keep it intact! Compared to short hair, longer hair requires more maintenance, which is why you should ensure your hair stays hydrated and moisturised all day long.

We know some men don’t like to have too many steps in their hair care routine, but if you have long hair, conditioner is a must! Plus, we know this is a no-brainer tip, but be sure to completely rinse off the shampoo and conditioner from your hair. If not, it’ll potentially cause dandruff or make it look greasy. 

1. Go for the natural hairstyle look 

While it’s much faster to use a hairdryer, your long mane could hugely benefit from getting air-dried instead. Why? Because, unlike women, when men use a hairdryer for their long hair, it tends to look really flawless, which isn’t ideal because a rough, rugged look would work better. 

2. Consider man buns 

You can never go wrong with the classic man buns! It helps to keep the hair away from your face while keeping it neat and tidy throughout the day. 

Step 1: Use a styling product 

You would need this in order to keep your bun intact and keep it neat. Apply the Inspiration Styling Clay - Wellsen Argan Oil to your hair which helps to nourish your hair while styling at the same time. 

Step 2: Brush the hair

Remove the tangles and smoothen your hair to the direction of where your bun will be placed. The standard position would be at the bottom and to create a low ponytail. 

Step 3: Create a bun

Once it’s a low ponytail, loop it into a bun and your man bun is done! 

3. Braids 

Yes, men can have braids too! With long hair, it’s much easier to take it up a notch and be different. Though there are many types of braids, we’ll be showing you how to braid the front or top section of your hair! 

Step 1: Apply a styling product 

In order to sculpt your hair in the proper way, you’d have to apply some styling product such as the Inspiration Styling Clay - Wellsen Argan Oil. This helps to hold your hair together once you start braiding the hair.

You can then begin braiding your hair! Divide your hair into three sections, and then braid across one another. Continue until you’ve reached the ends of your hair. Once that’s done, you can secure it with an elastic band. It’s that easy! 

4. Wavy, textured hair 

If your hair is naturally straight, you might want to consider adding some waves! 

Step 1: Shampoo and condition your hair 

To achieve wavy hair, it’s best when you just wash your hair and while it's still damp. Once you’ve applied shampoo and conditioner, dry it lightly with a towel.
