    My boyfriend needs a wax…

    Get your man's hair sorted

    Q: I've got a question regarding men's hair products. My boyfriend has been looking for something that doesn't leave his hair and face oily and clogged. He prefers the finish and mouldability of waxes and clays but they always seem to run and block his skin as a result!

    Just wondering if there was anything you could recommend that would not run or has the same finish in a different category of product? - Veronica, NSW

    A: A matte paste or clay is probably the best option for your boy as they generally have more ‘grit’ and grip, and will stay put for longer.

    Joey Scandizzo, Sebastian Professional Design Team Director, recommends using Sebastian Craft Clay, as it’s a gritty, remouldable product that adds a dirty texture to the hair, without melting, or ending halfway down your boyfriends face.

    “It’s one of my favourite products because you can apply it one day re-shape it, sleep on it, wet it and wear it a new way the next day,” Scandizzo says. “This product doesn’t go anywhere until you wash it out and gives a really roughed up, natural look to your style.”

    If your boyfriend has an oily complexion, the natural oils from his skin may also be mixing with the product on and around his hairline, causing it to be transferred on to his face. To combat this, ensure that he applies majority of his product to the crown of his head, and uses it sparingly around his hairline.

    My husband's not too keen on hair products, but maybe I can convince him!

    Definately dont use too much, my son has made that mistake before and ended up looking like a greaseball and it was so hard to get it out again too.

    My son is really starting to spend more time in front of the mirror, I'll have to pass on the info to him, cheers.

    My partner is losing his hair, but he says he would use this on his back and sides,while he still has em lol ( his humour)

    Hair clay works well, i've noticed the difference from a mousse or gel to a clay in blokes hair. It really does give it a different feel and texture. Great article bh :)

    my boy is very particular about his hair products and I would never be able to get him to use something else. I already have the hardest time trying to get him to moisturise his face, thank goodness he listens when it comes to sunscreen when we go out, but only when I'm with him. On his own, he is hopeless with skincare - it must be a gene cross wired for them to not care like we ladies do.

    Great article with info to keep the boys looking nice.

    My husband used to use Redken products, they were really awesome.. his hair is nice though so he doesn't really need to do anything with it.. lucky! :)

    My brother spends more time on his hair then i do on mine. He uses Shwarrkopf Hair Spray and VO5 wax to style his hair.

    Thanks heaps Deb & Joey, will definitely look into it! :D

    Hair clay works well for me (I was given a Aveda man pure performance) to use and liked it. Before using that I only ever thought to try mousse and even used to try slick my hair using water. I now know hair Clay (or putty) works much better!

    miakat 12 Jul 2010 7:36 AM

    Also make sure he doesn't use too much!

    melmeko 12 Jul 2010 7:30 AM

    Nice one for the boys :)

    Stensen 12 Jul 2010 7:26 AM

    Funny title lol. I always thought hair gel is one of the things that boys will do to keep up their looks..

    Pooky 12 Jul 2010 7:25 AM

    They're over-rated, and they don't groom themselves. :P
