A guide to styling using men’s hair products

Start by picking a product that works for your hair type and cut. Longer styles that need more hold benefit from hair gel. For men with short hair, wax or paste works better

If you’re looking for strong hold, add styling gel to your grooming kit, like Dove Men+Care Control Gel. It’s our strongest hold, giving you a sleek look that lasts and doesn’t look greasy or flat

For a style that’s easy to maintain or change during the day, stick to gel. It can be reactivated with water, so you can smooth hair back in place or restyle

If you’re worried about thinning, styling products can help you create the illusion of thickness. Matte products, like Dove Men+Care Sculpting Paste, absorb the light, giving hair a fuller appearance

The best styling products for greasy hair should give the right amount of shine, but no greasiness. For lightweight hold, choose a pomade. Dove Men+Care Definining Pomade creates a defined style with light hold. This non-greasy formula results in a sleek looking style with the precise amount of shine
