I’m African American and I actually use hair lotion now. I like the way it makes my hair look shiny and slightly wet. I like the bigger curls it makes too. I’m sporting a fro right now and the lotion brings the height of it down to lower, more stylish level. I’m still experimenting with the specific look I want in my hair (before I go back to dreads), so I’ll definitely try a cream next. I get many fly-aways after I use lotion and snipping them off every morning is annoying.

Murray’s Hair Wax with pure Beeswax.

It’s my favorite. It’s a thick petroleum-based hair wax, the actual “wax” part being real beeswax. I have very thick hair for a Caucasian and just a little bit in the tips of my fingers as my hair’s 90% dry (after a shower) puts my hair in any style I want and holds and gives shine while still being soft and natural enough to run my hands through and restyle throughout the day.

It’s often found among ethnic-targeted hair products or in African beauty salons. I hear it’s much used for securing dreadlocks as well.

Bonus: it’s natural, and scentless.

Hey there, liked the info–especially the specific product suggestions. I think it might help people out if you mentioned thinning sheers since a lot of this article dealt with hold. As far as I’ve learned, if you use thinning sheers on thick hair it’ll give your products more hold without changing the look. I got an OK pair off eBay for around 10 bucks so I figure other people might wanna try it out.

With current technological advances I doubt that it will take lots of time (or maybe its available today) to cure baldness.

But if you currently have this problem, I advise him to shave it all off. It will look bad with a bald spot.

Hey Jae, I was wondering what guys with Curly hair could use.
The only mention of us in the entire article is that Creams are good, yet you don’t recommend any creams.

It is about bloody time Jae.

A couple overlooked (in this article), easy to find, great hair care companies are Redken, Matrix and Tigi. Some signatures of these companies are Concreté by Redken (a well-named gel, that’s perfect for short hair). The Biolage and Men’s lines of Matrix, which smell terrific and span the full spectrum of products. And my favorites, Manipulator (a funky, blue semi-matte, pomade that can handle any thing) by Tigi, and both of Tigi’s wax products which are pricey, but well worth it for the short-haired guy who want any edgy, stand-out-from-the-crowd look.
