Men's hair care expert, David Alexander, writes in MensHair.About.com about how to choose a productstylingproper men's hair. There are several factors that you need to consider when choosing the right product.
1. Know your hair type
The first rule you need to know is the type of hair you have. For fine hair, you can use light products such as sprays, lotions, or creams. For thick hair, you can use a denser product such as paste, pomade, or wax. For those of you who use hair gel, choose a lighter gel for fine hair and a stronger gel for thick hair.
Do not use products labeled "strong" for thin and fine hair as these products are too strong and can cause your thin hair to fall out. Light products to use on thick hair will also be of no use, as they are very light in strength and cannot even hold your hair. However, someone who has medium hair or medium (not thick and not smooth) can use light products and solid products. Don't forget to check the label because every product on the market must have a label that indicates whether the product is light ("light") or strong ("strong").

However, if you choose your hair to be manageable and not harden, you can choose to use pomade or wax.
4. Budget
