What Is Hair Cream And How Do You Use It?

There is truly nothing more appealing than a well-groomed man. This is a time proven fact, as men have been grooming themselves since the Stone Ages when the morning shave was first invented. These days there is a little more option from how and what we shave, to how we style our hair and more importantly what we style our hair with. The product you chose often depends on the look you’re trying to achieve.  If you are looking for a product that leaves your hair looking natural and effortless then a hair cream might be the next bathroom essential for you.  

What Is A Hair Cream? 

Hair cream, commonly referred to as styling cream, is a hair product with a creamy consistency that has been in circulation since the 1920s. However, the recipe has changed tremendously since then as hair cream is no longer a greasy, oil-based gunk that stylish men use to heavily slick back their hair and instead is a subtle product that leaves your hair looking natural, refreshed and effortlessly groomed.

Why Should You Use A Hair Cream? 

Most modern hair creams are used to create casual and relaxed hairstyles that don’t appear to be product heavy. Hair cream often gives a minimal shine and a low to medium hold making it perfect for hairstyles that require plenty of movement and texture. This is the product you should invest in if you have medium to long length hair as well as curly or coarse hair. This is because hair cream is often used for taming stray hairs, controlling frizz, and untangling hair, giving your look a sleek finish without weighing it down or leaving you looking greasy. 

However, this is not the product you are looking for if you’re aiming for a high-maintenance hairstyle such as a mohawk or a pompadour. These hairstyles are more suited to stronger products such as a hair wax or styling clay, like NO GUNK’s Styling Funk or even their Matte Lava Clay. 

How To Style With A Hair Cream? 

• You can use a hair cream on both dry and damp hair. However, we find the best results with any hair product comes from applying onto damp hair, and we mean damp not dripping. You then want to scoop up a pea sized amount of product. It is always better to start with less so you don’t oversaturate your hair and if you find it’s not enough you can always add a little bit more. 
• Then you will want to warm the product up between your fingertips, not your palms. This is because you use your fingertips to style your hair so there is where you want the most of your product to be.
• Finally, you want to apply the product throughout your hair starting at the back of your hair and working your way forward and root to tip so your hair is evenly coated. Applying your product this way guarantees that the front of your hair isn’t too product heavy and doesn’t look heavy or limp.
