Hair Powder

Hair powder men

It is a unique product and is often based on silica silylate or on potato, rice, or corn starch. A hair powder thickens your hair and gives a lot of volume. It is therefore an ideal pre-styling product, but one that you apply to dry hair.

You apply hair powder to your hair roots for extra lift, volume, texture, and a matte finish. Thin or fine hair therefore gets a boost and suddenly looks much thicker and fuller. That is why hair powders work very well for men with thin or fine hair. You can use them as a standalone styling product, but also as a pre-styler in dry hair.

Properties of hair powder for men

The main property of a hair powder is that it gives volume and texture. It is often used as a pre-styling product by men with fine or thin hair, but you should of course not blow-dry your hair. You massage it well into your roots to get maximum volume. Afterwards, you can optionally apply another hair styling product for extra hold and styling.

Styling powder usually provides a medium hold with a matte finish. Because of the matte finish, your scalp is also less visible. Some hair powders can even help to slightly fill in small bald spots on the crown.

How to use hair powder?

It is very important to apply hair powder to completely dry hair. If your hair is still slightly damp, the hair powder will clump. Apply the product directly to your roots to achieve the most volume. Massage the hair powder well into your hair so that it is evenly distributed. Never use a hairdryer after applying hair powder, as you will blow it out of your hair.

Always store your hair powder in a dry environment to avoid clumping.

Which hair powder is good for men's hairstyles?

Hair powders work best for hairstyles with a lot of texture and a matte finish. And of course, also for looks that require a lot of volume. Examples of hairstyles that work well with hair powders are faux hawks, French crop hairstyles, fringe looks, textured quiffs, and other loose and messy men's hairstyles.

When you use hair powder as a pre-styler and then apply a hair clay, paste, or wax, you can also create looks with more hold. It works well in combination with other hair styling products to achieve the ideal hairstyle.

Best hair powder for men

Almost every self-respecting men's brand nowadays has a styling powder to ride the trend. That is great, because then you can use a hair powder from the same brand as any other hair styling products. Of course, there are the well-known brands like Got2b hair powder, Wella hair powder, or Osis hair powder, but in the Moquer shop the products are in a slightly higher segment.

With so many options, it can be difficult to choose, but by far the most popular hair powder for men is the Forte Series Texture Powder. The Slick Gorilla Hair Styling Powder and Dapper Dan Texture Dust are also among the most popular options. It is important to look carefully at the contents, as the amount of hair powder per brand can vary significantly.
