Most hair products just weigh your hair down and look greasy by lunchtime. 😮‍💨🔥
If you aren't using something that gives you instant volume, a texturized matte finish, and a hold that actually lasts all night, you are playing on hard mode. Let's settle the debate right here: 👉 Drop a 1 for Clay or a 2 for Sea Salt Spray in the comments. Which product is genuinely undefeated for styling? Fight it out below. 👇

Let's get off the high horse, Brian. While some brands definitely use marketing to hype up similar formulas, the fundamental difference between heavy pomades and high-volume matte products isn't just a marketing narrative—it's basic hair chemistry that directly impacts how a guy's style holds up by lunchtime. You’re looking at this as a hobbyist with a massive collection, but I’m talking about the everyday guy who just wants a simple routine that works. Heavy products absolutely crush volume for most people. There is no need to gatekeep the group or try to pull seniority just because you’ve been here longer. Let's keep the community welcoming for everyone. At the end of the day, a great style isn't about having a complex routine or the biggest collection on a shelf. Hair care is about giving guys the confidence to walk out the door feeling unstoppable with the least amount of effort. Respectfully, let's just focus on helping guys find what works for them. 🤝

There's definitely room for both the deeper styling approach and a quick setup, and both ideas have their merits. No hard feelings at all—glad we could both bring some valuable insights to the table here. Wishing you a great rest of your week, man! 🤝
Opinion on the Goatee
It’s been a minute since I shaved, decided today was the day and went with a goatee. I’m not sure whether it looks good or not, I think I may have taken away too much from the middle, but I’m not sure. Went with a 7mm against the grain for the chin hair, didn’t really do anything to the mustache since this is all it grows lol. If you guys have any suggestions to improve please let me know!

Looks great mate!
Bro, stop putting product in damp hair if your style keeps deflating
Idk who needs to hear this, but if you’re rubbing heavy clay or paste straight into damp hair right out of the shower, you're literally sabotaging your hair before you even leave the house. I used to do this every single morning. I'd put it in, look in the mirror, think it looked solid, and then an hour later it completely collapsed and went flat. It turns out heavy product + water weight basically just weighs your hair down like cement. I changed up my routine this week and it's a complete game-changer. Try this tomorrow: 1. Towel dry until it’s barely damp. 2. Hit it with a little sea salt spray or pre-styler, then blow-dry it completely into the shape you actually want. This is what actually builds the volume and structure. 3. Only put your actual styling product in once your hair is 100% dry and cooled down. And use way less than you think you need. Seriously, my hair has had volume all day today and hasn't budged. Hope this helps anyone else struggling with flat hair. What’s everyone’s go-to routine for getting actual volume? Let me know below 👇

Best pastes
Hey! Does anyone have a great paste recommendation?

@James OHara Appreciate the recommendations, James! That’s super helpful. A matte finish with zero clumping is exactly the vibe I’m going for. I might have to look into that Forte Series one, or grab some Got2B next time I'm at the store.

@Brian Dang Appreciate the breakdown, Brian! American Crew Fiber is a classic. Do you find that these smooth pastes apply easier if you work them into the hair while it's completely dry, or do you like a tiny bit of moisture left in it?
Taper
