Hair volume takes a lot of different factors into consideration. We often consider it the amount of lift your hair gets from the root, so taller, fuller, thicker hair tends to have a lot of volume. Some people have hair with a lot of natural body to it, but there’s always more that you can do to give it some lift and help it stand out more while you’re styling it.
Here are four products that help give men’s hair more volume and help it pop when you’re preparing for your day.
Pomade
Pomade is a waxy, water-based substance that’s great for giving your hair a little extra push when you’re styling it. One of the main advantages of pomade is that its general composition allows for multiple washes before it’s entirely out of your hair. Because it sticks to your hair, a little goes a long way, so try not to use too much at once.
Hair Gel
Hair gel is one of the most popular products men use to give their hair more volume. It is easy to use and gives your hair a firm, hardened look. However, like with pomade, you want to be careful not to use too much at once. Too much gel can harden your hair to the point of damaging it. It’s also a good idea to wash the gel out at the end of the day so you don’t have prolonged exposure to it.
Texturizing Spray
Texturizing spray is a great way to add some small spritzes to give your hair more volume while you’re combing it. One of the main differences between texturing spray and hair spray is that hair spray is more about hold, while texturizing spray is more about styling. Unlike gels or pomades, these sprays don’t do as much to hold your hair in place but help get it where you want it to go.
Conditioners
For men that don’t want to buy a lot of extra hair products, certain conditioners help give your hair more volume simply by incorporating them into your regular shower routine. We recommend looking for conditioners with vitamin E, which can help blood flow on your scalp and help your hair follicles feel thicker and more manageable.
