A stylish head of hair results from good haircuts and proper styling tools. Hair styling products are the tools needed to hold haircuts, such as the razor cut, in fashionable styles. Shop for men's products to get the look you want. Buy men's hair care products from your favorite hair stylist, at a local drug store or from online retailers.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Use pomade for firm control with a glossy sheen. Pomade is traditionally made of wax, petroleum jelly and mineral oil. Today, pomade products are available in wax, gel, clay and mixtures containing mineral oil and petroleum jelly. Try pomade for styling control that holds your hair in place with a non-greasy, glossy shine.

  2. Step 2

    Apply hair gel to wet hair to create a different look for your razor cut or other fashionable haircut. Choose a strong-hold hair gel for spiky styles. Hair gel comes in gels, liquids and sprays and offers different degrees of holding power.

  3. Step 3

    Rub the gel between your hands. Use your hands to apply the gel and style your hair. Touch up your hairstyle by applying fresh gel or by using water mist to reactivate the existing gel.

  4. Step 4

    Get volume and hold from your styling product by using mousse or styling foam. Apply mousse to wet hair before drying or styling. Gain a wet look by allowing mousse to air dry. Get more volume and styling control by adding mousse to wet hair and then drying hair with a hair dryer.

  5. Step 5

    Ask your hairstylist for the best haircut and products needed to create the look you want. Purchase products sold by your stylist or find less expensive male hair care products online or at your local drug store.

Tips & Warnings
  • Buy products made for men to avoid flowery fragrances or perfumes found in women's hair care products. Choose products that do not contain alcohol to keep your scalp and hair healthy.
