Are Men Really Using Hair Spray?

Hey friends, I spent years avoiding hair spray. Like many guys, I thought it belonged strictly in my mom's bathroom cabinet. Man, was I wrong. Here's something that'll blow your mind: the molecular structure of modern hair spray creates a microscopic mesh around each strand of hair, giving you control without that dreaded helmet-head look from the 80s. 

Why Men Are Opting for Hairsprays?

Gone are the days when hairspray was considered just a women's product. Today, more and more men are discovering the versatility and benefits of hairspray. Unlike gels and pomades that can weigh down hair or give it an overly glossy finish, hairspray provides a lightweight hold and a natural look.

Today's guys no longer need to struggle with heavy gels and waxy products, when hair spray could solve their styling challenges in seconds.

Modern hair sprays pack a serious scientific punch. They contain flexible polymers - specifically polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and vinyl acetate - that create invisible bonds between hair strands. These bonds are strong enough to hold your style but break easily when you run your fingers through your hair. 

 

If you are just looking to tame some wild strands, you can spray the hairspray onto your hands. Then run your fingers through the strands to settle them down. It is easy to create different looks with hairspray. Simply create the look then spray to set in place. With gels and waxes, unlike hairsprays,  you need to apply first then build the hairstyle and wait for it to set.

Hair Styling Trends and How to Nail Them with Hairspray

From classic professional looks to trendy beach styles, here are some of the hottest hair trends for men and how to achieve them using hairspray:

1. The Undercut: This style features longer hair on top and shorter sides. After getting the cut, use hairspray to add volume and hold to the top section. It will help maintain the contrast that defines this style.
2. The Slicked Back Look: This timeless style exudes sophistication and class. Achieving this look is simple with hairspray. Just comb your hair back and apply a light mist of hairspray to hold it in place.
3. The Modern Mullet: The mullet is back, but with a modern twist. To get this look, you'll need longer hair at the back and shorter at the front and sides. Hairspray can help keep this style neat and controlled.
4. The Buzz Cut: While this style doesn’t require much styling due to its minimal length, a quick spray can add some shine and keep any stray hairs in place.
5. The Quiff: For this voluminous style, apply hairspray to your damp hair and then blow-dry it while combing it upwards. The hairspray will provide the necessary hold to keep the quiff in place.
