How to Style Your Hair Like a Pro: Tips and Tricks

Styling your hair like a pro isn’t just about using the right products—it’s about technique, preparation, and knowing what works for your hair type. Whether you want a sleek, structured look or effortless, natural movement, mastering the basics of styling is key to achieving long-lasting, salon-quality results at home.

At MENPURITY, we believe that great hair starts with great grooming habits. In this guide, we’ll break down expert styling tips and the best MENPURITY hair products to help you style your hair like a pro—every single day.

1. Start with the Right Hair Care Routine

A good hairstyle starts with clean, healthy hair. If your hair is weighed down by excess oil or product buildup, styling becomes much harder.

Best Practices for Hair Care

• Wash your hair with a sulfate-free shampoo like MINT Hair Shampoo to keep your scalp fresh without stripping natural oils.
• Avoid overwashing— 1-2 times a week is ideal to maintain natural moisture.
• Use cold water when rinsing to help close the hair cuticle, making hair smoother and easier to style.

2. Know Your Hair Type and Choose the Right Products

Different hair types require different styling approaches. Here’s how to match the best products with your hair type:

• Fine or thin hair? Use DUST Texture Powder for instant lift and volume.

• Thick or unruly hair? Go for FORCE Ultimate Hair Clay to control and define your style.

• Curly or wavy hair? Try WAVE Smooth Hair Cream to tame frizz and enhance natural movement.

• Looking for texture? TEXTURE Sea Salt Spray adds effortless waves and body.

3. Apply Products Correctly for Maximum Hold and Definition

Most men use too much product or apply it incorrectly, leading to greasy or stiff hair. Here’s how to do it right:

How to Apply Hair Products Like a Pro

• Start with a dime-sized amount—you can always add more if needed.
• Warm the product between your hands before applying it to ensure even distribution.
• Focus on the roots for volume and the mid-lengths/ends for control and shape.
• Use your fingers for a relaxed, natural look or a comb for a polished finish.

4. Master Blow-Drying Techniques for Professional Styling

A blow dryer isn’t just for drying hair—it’s a powerful styling tool that can add volume, shape, and hold.

How to Blow-Dry Like a Stylist

• Use a pre-styler like TEXTURE Sea Salt Spray on damp hair to build volume.
• Blow-dry in the direction you want your hair to sit—use a brush like SNAKE Brush for control.
• Use medium heat to shape your style, then switch to cold air to set it in place.

5. The Best Styling Techniques for Different Looks

Depending on the style you want, different products and techniques will give the best results.

For a Natural, Effortless Look

• Apply TEXTURE Sea Salt Spray to damp hair and let it air-dry or blow-dry lightly.
• Use WAVE Smooth Hair Cream for a touch of hold and control without stiffness.

For a Sharp, Defined Look

• Start with HEAT Warm Up Paste for a structured yet flexible hold.
• Use a comb like LIFT Comb to create sleek definition.

For a Voluminous, Textured Look

• Sprinkle DUST Texture Powder at the roots for instant lift.
• Finish with FORCE Ultimate Hair Clay for lasting hold without shine.

6. How to Make Your Hairstyle Last All Day

Professional stylists know that the key to long-lasting hairstyles is layering products correctly and locking in the style.

• Use a lightweight pre-styler (TEXTURE Sea Salt Spray) before adding a stronger hold product.
• Let products fully dry before restyling to prevent reactivating the product and losing hold.
• Avoid touching your hair too much, as this transfers oil and reduces volume.

Final Thoughts

Styling your hair like a pro isn’t just about using the right products—it’s about technique, preparation, and proper hair care. By choosing the right styling tools, applying products correctly, and using professional styling methods, you can achieve flawless, long-lasting styles effortlessly.
