When it comes to achieving a barber-perfect look at home, many of us struggle to replicate the results we get in the chair. At Peaky Barbers, we’re often asked, "What’s your secret?" So, we asked our expert barbers – Josh, Caleb, and Francis – for their top hair styling tips to share with you.
These are the tips that will not only improve your hair styling routine but also make your life easier, regardless of your hair type or style preference.
Josh's Tip: "Always Dry!"
Josh’s number one rule? Apply product to dry hair, not wet. When you apply hair product to wet hair, the water dilutes the product and lessens its effectiveness. "It waters down the product," Josh explains, which means your style won’t hold as well or for as long.
So, what's the solution? Make sure your hair is completely dry before using any styling products. Once dry, comb the product in for even distribution and a polished finish. This technique ensures that you maintain control over your hairstyle and that the product works the way it’s meant to.
Caleb's Tip: "Blow-dry is Your Secret Weapon"
If there’s one tool every barber relies on, it’s the blow-dryer. Caleb’s advice connects perfectly with Josh’s sentiment – drying your hair correctly sets the foundation for a flawless look.
Caleb highlights how crucial this step is to achieving a salon-quality finish. He says, "We always recommend blow-drying for that fresh, barber-perfect look." Many clients notice the difference immediately, often telling us, "I can never get it to look like you do!" The truth is, a blow-dry can work wonders in adding volume, texture, and shape to your hair.
Caleb also points out the value of using a diffuser, especially for certain hair types. If you have curly, wavy, or textured hair, a diffuser helps define your natural curls and adds volume without causing frizz. This is because the diffuser distributes the air more evenly and gently, preserving the natural pattern of your curls.
Even if you have straight hair, blow-drying can help add volume and shape, and using a diffuser can reduce the chances of heat damage. Caleb's tip is all about taking that extra step to transform your hair from flat to full-bodied with ease.
Francis's Tip: "Embrace Your Natural Style"
Francis offers a different perspective: instead of fighting against your hair's natural tendencies, embrace them. "The further you push from your natural look, the more work it takes," Francis says. His advice is simple yet effective – go with what your hair gives you in the morning.
This doesn’t mean you can’t style your hair, but it’s about understanding that the more you try to force your hair into something it’s not naturally inclined to do, the more effort and maintenance it will require throughout the day. By embracing your hair’s natural texture and flow, you can save time and still look effortlessly stylish.
Conclusion
Whether it's Josh's focus on applying product to dry hair, Caleb’s advocacy for blow-drying, or Francis’s wisdom about embracing your natural style, these expert tips will help you up your hair game.
