I have 1B hair too, done middle parts Get a mousse, golf ball size, and work into hair, Wella shockwaves is 100% best Activate by blowing side to side and upwards with a hairdryer until 80% dry Clay as your main styler, Hanz de Fuko or Got2B (budget), a pea size, work forwards and then backwards into your hair for full coverage. Shape your hair until you’re happy A hairspray to windproof it and lock your style in, Get Got2B phenomenal or glued, do a light mist from 25cm away, and that’s all you need It’s pretty universal too, if you want to do a hybrid or sweep it back later on

I’ve done it before and it’s something I really like to do, because the concept minus the fear is amazing (your job is to talk, that’s a lot of people’s dreams right there 😂) It’s pressure, which is something I’m familiar with in goalkeeping - if you think about shit going wrong, it will, and you won’t be at a level anywhere near what you want out of yourself, just accept it that making a mistake is part of it and makes you a human Practically speaking, your brain will probably be at 10000mph when you’re doing it, speak half as fast as you do in your head to start with, it’ll relax you and get you more comfortable once you really get on a roll with it

@Luca Mantra First started with a wedding speech in front of everyone for my parents celebration! And I’ve done a few for occasions as well, and some football ones too

You’ll lose a lot of the ability to shape your hair before the hairspray, if you’ve got natural texture and thickness than you’ll be able to do it yes Also I had a look on Amazon India and found pastes?

@Reyaz Chad Yeah I found a decent amount on Amazon for India, pretty good products too

I have some thoughts, firstly wet hair doesn’t mean no frizz, especially if you’re not covered in water Your hair could be damaged or dry? So it doesn’t stick together as you’ve roughened up the cuticles (I don’t know this, this is a question to you, if it is, we can go from there) High porosity maybe? Where your hair absorbs moisture fast BUT also lets it go extremely quickly? (This is also workable too) You mentioned product, what products to do use and HOW do you apply it?

I’ve done both mate in the past 6 months How patient are you? if you’re patient and want to soften your face up, 100% grow out the sides, which is what I’ve now done (and less haircuts too in the long run) If you want it maintained and sharp, get a taper, you’ll be out of the awkward stage a lot sooner I’d argue I’ll include 2 below of both, the main difference here is the SIDES, first one is with a taper and the second one is with grown sides

@Imran Mohammed Low taper 100%, keep it really subtle
