Hair Products for Curly Hair Men: What Works Best?
6 min readFrom Timothée Chalamet to Kit Harrington, celebrities are proof that men can rock curly hair on-screen and off-screen with equal elan. All it takes to look good in your curls is a selection of good hair care products, supplemented by trustworthy styling tools, and a good hair care routine. So we drew up this guide to help you find the right hair products for curly hair men.
Let’s get started.
Understanding Your Curl Type
Before recommending products, we’d like to talk about the different types of curly hair that can be seen in men, because curly hair has character and is rather unique. Broadly speaking, it can be categorized into:
- Type 2 or wavy
- Type 3 or curly
- Type 4 or kinky and coily
Each of these types can be further categorized based on curl patterns. For example, men with Type A tend to have wide and wavy curls while Type C curls are usually small, densely packed, and tight.
While these broad classifications can help you categorize your hair as Type 2A or Type 4C, remember that curl patterns can vary widely for each of us. You can even have tighter curls closer to your scalp and wavy hair towards the ends.
Thankfully, NuMe’s hair care and styling products are made for all hair types. Our versatile and inclusive range has some of the best hair products for wavy hair men.
Best Shampoos for Curly Hair Men
The problem with curly hair is that the roots get oily very easily but the natural oils don’t reach the ends of strands. So you end up with an oily scalp and frizzy ends. We recommend shampoos that provide gentle cleansing action without stripping your hair of moisture.
Our top picks are:
NuMe Acai Shampoo
Made from acai berries rich in Omega 3,6,9 and vitamins B, C, and E, this formulation gently cleanses your scalp while strengthening your hair strands. Regular use improves the elasticity of curly hair and controls frizz. It makes curly hair look soft and shiny.
This shampoo is good for men with frizzy curls.
NuMe Vegan Tourmaline Shampoo
This low-pH formula effectively cleanses your scalp without being harsh on your hair. Enriched with 11 amino acids, the shampoo smoothes rough and frizzy curly hair. It helps maintain the moisture balance in your scalp, ensuring your curls look strong and healthy all the time.
This shampoo is suitable for men with fine curly hair.
NuMe White Truffle Shampoo
White truffle, black orchid, evening primrose, and jasmine are only a few of the many powerful botanical ingredients that go into the making of this shampoo. A luxurious hair wash fortified with biotin, our White Truffle Shampoo’s clarifying action is great for men with dense curly hair that needs nourishment and softening. It’s safe to use on colored or chemically treated hair.
But if you don’t have time to wash your hair, you can also lift your curls with our dry shampoos. Both products absorb excess oil from your scalp, giving freshness and bounce to your crowning glory. You can use your fingers to style your hair once you have used the dry shampoos.
Choose from:
NuMe Dirty to Flirty Aerosol Shampoo
This non-tinted dry shampoo is ideal for men with lighter shades of hair. It contains rice starch, algae extract, and silica — ingredients that absorb excess oil without drying the ends of your curly hair. Spray your hair in sections and use sparingly for best results.
NuMe Fresh N’ Fab Tinted Aerosol Shampoo
This tinted dry shampoo is specially made for dark hair. It contains panthenol (vitamin b5) in addition to rice starch and helps nourish your hair, besides cleaning your scalp. Use as required and brush off any excess before styling your hair.
The Fresh N’ Fab dry shampoo ensures your hair looks as stylish as ever.
Best Conditioners for Curly Hair Men
When it comes to conditioners, go for fast-absorbing lightweight formulas that can provide necessary hydration without weighing your hair down. We also recommend using small amounts of the product on the tips of your hair.
Take your pick from:
NuMe Acai Conditioner
This vibrant formulation helps lock in moisture to prevent the ends of your hair from getting dry and frizzy. Pair it with our Acai Shampoo to give life to your curls. This combo makes your curly hair soft, shiny, and bouncy, just like it is supposed to be.
NuMe White Truffle Conditioner
Ideal for dull and damaged curls that need some TLC, this conditioner revitalizes, hydrates, and strengthens your hair with every use. Deep condition your ends with this product after using our White Truffle Shampoo if you have brittle and frizzy hair shafts.
Best Serums for Curly Hair Men
Non-greasy and hydrating hair serums that strengthen hair strands, control frizz, and provide nourishment work best for curly hair.
We recommend that you try our:
NuMe Hairology Scalp Serum
Made from a blend of rosemary, malilito, hops, and alfalfa, the Hairology Scalp serum stimulates your scalp membrane, forming a barrier that protects your hair against damage and dryness. It gives you soft and shiny curls, adding volume and bounce to your hair.
NuMe Sleeky In A Bottle
This serum is perfect for men who suffer from frizz, dryness, and brittle hair. Infused with the moisturizing goodness of argan and macadamia oils, this serum adds unmatched shine and strength to your hair. But this lightweight formula gets absorbed easily and does not make your hair feel heavy or greasy.
Just remember to use it sparingly (a little goes a long way) and apply it only on the ends for best results.
Best Hair Sprays for Curly Hair Men
Last but not least, let’s talk about hair styling sprays for curly hair. A few things you need to watch out for are the ingredients and the hold the hair spray provides — it should be able to keep your hair in place without making it look greasy.
Our top picks in this category are:
NuMe Freeze Please Stronghold Finishing Spray
As the name suggests, this is a finishing spray for men with thick and tight wavy, or curly hair. It gets absorbed in your hair instantly, providing a long-lasting hold that stays strong for hours. If you like styling your curly hair or need a quick fix before your big date night, use Freeze Please as the final step in your hair care routine.
Thank us for the compliments later!
NuMe Hair-fie Ready Finishing Spray
Our last recommendation is a lifesaver, especially for men who need a quick fix to keep their curls in place during a day or night out. This humidity-resistant spray works best for men with wavy to curly hair that’s hard to manage. But it also adds salon-like shine to your tresses, minus the greasiness.
So, if you’re someone looking for hair products for curly hair men, try these products from NuMe. You’d be pleasantly surprised with the results.
