hair cream for men

Hair styling cream works great for men that have dry or frizzy hair and want to smoothen their hair and provide it with some shine. The benefit of hair cream is that it nourishes your hair and it helps you to style your hair.

Hair styling cream is slightly heavier than a mousse, but lighter than a hair gel. It also helps to defrizz your hair, almost like a conditioner, but you do not rinse a hair cream after applying.

Hair styling cream

When you are styling your hair, there are a few things to pay attention to: the hold and the shine of the hair cream. When I say hold I mean how well your hair will keep its shape after styling. In most cases your hair will not get hard when you use a hair cream, but it will stay flexible. Styling products with a high hold will keep your hair in place whole day long, but styling products with a medium or low hold will allow more movement.

A hair styling cream usually provides a light to medium hold.

The shine of a hair styling product is also very important. On camera shiny hair can appear a bit grey or it will look a bit greasy. If you want to prevent that, you can choose a hair creme that has a matte finish.

A hair cream is basically never meant to keep your hair in place without movement. It is meant for definition with a natural shine. That is why it works best for messy and tousled hairstyles.

Hair cream and hair care

The ingredients used in hair cream are also very important. If you have dry hair, it is important that your hair creme contaisn natural oils. Synthetic oil prevents moisture from penetrating your hair, so that does not help to fight dry hair.

Sulfates are also ingredients that can dry your hair and skin, because you do not wash them away like when using a shampoo. In a shampoo they do not really form a problem because you rinse out a shampoo. Parabens are used to prolong the expiration date of a cosmetic product and they usually do not provide that many issues, but some people are allergic to them. But sulfates can have a drying effect when you keep them in your hair or on your scalp for a longer time, but you almost never find sulfates in high-quality hair styling products.

So, try to avoid hair creams that contain sulfates. In the shop you can easily select products that are sulfate (and paraben) free.

Your hair's experience

Some hair creams have a scent. Depending on your personal preference you either like that or not, but it is beneficial when the scent comes from natural oils instead of added perfumes.

Usually natural scents are a bit more subtle compared to their more chemical counterparts.

How to apply hair cream as a man?

It does not matter what your hair type is, hair cream can be used for straight, wavy and curly hair. In general you usually apply hair cream in slightly damp hair. In the product descriptions in the Moquer shop you can usually see how products are applied for the best results, so keep an eye on that.

You do not need a lot of hair creme. A finger tip amount is usually already enough. After that you rub the product between your hands and then you can use your hands or fingers for styling.

Massaging your scalp can also work well to distribute the product evenly at your hair roots.

Afterwards you can either blow-dry your hair into the desired shape or let it dry naturally.

Popular hair creams for men

There are many brands that offer hair styling creams for men, but which ones are good? To make the choice easier I listed a few hair creams that have good reviews in the Moquer shop.

Hanz de Fuko Scheme Cream is an ingenious product that is easy to use and it offers a lot of different styling options.

So, hair creams provide a light to medium hold to help men style their hair. That way your hair stays flexible and natural. You can choose how much shine you would like in your hair. A hair cream also hydrates and nourishes your hair whole day long.

It is suitable for all hair types, but primarily popular with men that have frizzy or dry hair with a wavy to curly texture that would like to have messy hairstyles with some definition.
