Men's Hair Styling

This collection sits within Hair Care under Men's, and covers the full range of men's styling products — gels, pomades, waxes, sprays, creams, and clays. For gel, wax, and pomade formats specifically, see Wax Gels & Pomades, a narrower selection within this same range.

Top Brands Available in Men's Hair Styling

Paul Mitchell and American Crew have the broadest presence across creams, sprays, gels, and clays. Luster's SCurl, Murray's, and DAX cover pomades, waxes, and texturising sprays, with Pro-Line, got2b, Fudge, and TIGI Bed Head For Men rounding out the range across a variety of hold and finish types.

Common Problems Customers Face

• Wanting a specific hold level — light texture versus strong, all-day hold.
• Choosing a finish — matte, glossy, or natural-looking.
• Coarse or curly hair needing a different approach to styling than straight hair.
• Product build-up or difficulty washing styling products out.

How This Collection Addresses Those Problems

Here's how the range maps to those needs:

• Hold level — from Paul Mitchell's Steady Grip and Mitch Calibrate Thickening Cream through to Murray's Extra Heavy Pomade, the range spans light to very strong hold.
• Finish choice — matte finishes, glossy pomades, and natural-look creams are all represented across the brands here.
• Textured and coarse hair — Luster's SCurl's texturizer spray and several pomades in the wider range are formulated with coarser, curlier hair textures in mind.
• Format variety — sprays (American Crew and Paul Mitchell Grooming Sprays, Pro-Line Oil Sheen Spray), creams, waxes, and beeswax (Murray's Pure Australian Beeswax) all sit within this broader styling category.

How to Choose the Right Product

1. Match hold level to your hair length and style — longer or coarser hair generally needs a firmer hold to keep shape through the day.
2. Choose a finish based on the look you want — matte for a natural finish, glossy pomade for a classic slicked style.
3. For gel, wax, or pomade formats specifically, Wax Gels & Pomades is the narrower, more focused collection.
4. Sprays and lighter creams suit those who find heavier waxes and pomades build up too much over the day.

None of this replaces checking a specific product's own directions.

Usage and Care Tips

• Apply styling products to towel-dried, not soaking wet, hair for the most control over hold and finish.
• Start with a small amount and build up — it's easier to add more product than to remove excess.
• Wash styling products out thoroughly with a proper cleansing shampoo periodically, since heavier waxes and pomades can build up on the scalp and hair over time.
• Warm heavier pomades and waxes between your palms before applying, which makes them easier to distribute evenly.

Common Questions

What's the difference between this collection and Wax Gels & Pomades?

Wax Gels & Pomades is a narrower selection focused specifically on those three formats. This collection also includes sprays, creams, and beeswax.

Which product gives the strongest hold?

Pomades and waxes generally give the firmest hold, while sprays and lighter creams give more natural, flexible styling.

How do I stop styling products building up on my scalp?

Wash hair thoroughly with a proper cleansing shampoo periodically, particularly if you use heavier waxes or pomades daily.
