    I swear someone needs to teach young men about pomade, hair gel, mousse, just anything at all about how to style and texture your hair. I guarantee the guy in the left pic doesn’t look like that when he rolls out of bed, and if you want your hair to look like his, you’ll need similar amounts of styling and product.

      i thought i was doomed to always have bad hair aside from maybe one or two days a month when they decided to look nice

      gels never worked, neither did pomades (curly hair) but then i discovered hair modelling clay, and now i can have a nice hair whenever i want :)

        Same issue, pomade was the fix for me (wavy hair), until then I always just lived with my hair looking like shit until it reached the perfect balance of “unwashed enough to have some weight and texture on it, clean or dry shampooed enough to not look super unwashed”.

        Yes, clay for curly hair! My stylist introduced me to that and now I realize it’s half the battle. L’Oréal shit I use is expensive at $23, but it lasts awhile and the results lead to regular compliments.
