If styled correctly, your hair can absolutely make your whole look. There is nothing worse than looking great from the neck down with messy, unkempt hair. Well styled hair can be the difference between coming across as a put-together person who has their life together or a messy person whose life seems out of control. First impressions are important, and everyone has bad hair days, wakes up with bed head, has flyaways, or is experiencing hair loss. Whichever one applies to you here are some hair products that can help you get your hair back under control.

1. Hair pomade
Pomade is one of the oldest hair products that has been used by men. Though the use of pomade has been cataloged as far back as Roman times, pomade reached the height of popularity among men during the 1920s up to the 1950s for its ability to control hair and its slick, shiny appearance, and pomade can also style sideburn, beards, and moustaches. There are now several formulas from water-based to no water- based pomade that are available at the stores.

2. Hair wax
Traditionally hair wax and pomade are two separate products but are now also marketed as pomade and wax and hair paste. Unlike wax, pomade provides a slick, shiny hairstyle and may even darken the hair depending on the formula wax that holds the hair and provides a loose textured appearance with a matte finish. Ultimately the choice of using wax instead of pomade depends on the results you want to achieve.

3. Hair clay
Hair clay is a popular styling product that is widely available. Most clay is salon quality and when used provides a natural look as it has very little shine. Clay leaves the hair soft but be careful because a little goes a long way and too much can leave your hair with streak mark so experiment on using at home before you go out in public.

4. Hair gel
Surprisingly hair gel is not a modern product. Hair gels have been used throughout history going back to the ancient Egyptians. The one constant of this styling product is that the formula for hair gels has been reformulated several times until the modern-day variation was made with chemicals instead of more natural ingredients. Hair gel for men can help set and hold a hairstyle but be warned that it contains alcohol. Alcohol can dry out your hair and in combination with the other ingredients in the gel can damage the hair enough to experience some hair loss. Some loss of hair is normal, but if it seems like you are losing a lot of hair strands, try switching to a more natural styling product.

5. Hairspray
This hair product has experienced popularity throughout different times, particularly in the 1950s and again in the 1980s. This product was so popular that a movie bears the same name. When looking to buy hairspray keep in mind that different brands have different formulas and hold strength.
