A guy’s hair will look its best when it lands somewhere between the extremes of the wet and shiny look from the cast of Friends, and the dry and poofy look of Novak Djokovich. You want some texture and you want some hold. Anything more than that and you start to look either like a kid, or you just crawled out of O Brother Where art Thou. Here’s two widely available products that strike the right balance, with the pros and cons for each.
Pros:
Cons:
Overall Grade: A – | A really good hair product for guys with short to medium short hair. If you hate the uni-directional hair movement that clippers can leave you with (see Djokovich), this stuff is perfect to give your hair texture and shape.
Pros:
Cons:
Overall Grade: B+ | I’d give it an A if it weren’t for the cucumber smell which is a bit distracting at first. If you’ve got medium to medium long hair, this product goes in so light you’ll think “How is this going to work?.” But it doesn’t disappoint. Leaves your hair with a matte finish that’s pliable, moves a touch, but still holds well.
