    Cleanse hair with lukewarm water, Wear a satin or silk scarf while sleeping, Wash hair with diluted apple cider vinegar for shine, Use liitlleextraa cocooniion organic hair oil shampoo. These methods worked for my mom, and she controlled her hair fall with this routine.

      I used to work at a cosmetic counter and bald men would come in all the time complaining about this. There are mattifying lotions and primers out there. They are mostly intended for the face but you could easily use them on your head. The only downside is that you will go through them a lot faster so the cost may add up. Also, they could irritate your scalp if you have sensitive skin, but it’s worth a shot.

    Great video Robin. Pomades are my go to, but nowadays there's so much versatility within the pomade world that the lines have been blurred. We have traditional oil based (Murrays, Lockharts), traditional water based (Suavecito), unorthodox water based (flagship, grim grease, nostalgic grooming s/wb), but it's a huge reason why I love it. I got my hair cut recently and I'm rocking a shorter more textured look and have been using waxes and clays or a cream pomade like Gray Ghost by Shear Revival. Excellent stuff.

    Last on my list of things to try is cream. I'm hoping this is the one. I'm super dumb with hair, it's really not my forte. I have similar hair to Robin. Gel was a no-go as it left my hair solid and too "wet" looking. Clay seemed to be too dry on my hair, and it is a bit hard to get out(at least the one I tried). Pomade was very much like gel, and like Robin said, it isn't good for every day. It seemed to make my hair look oily but dry when washed out. Praying for cream to be the miracle I need!

    I think gel is something all guys have no idea how to use properly... If you have gel on ur hair and it is hard and rigid, you are using it wrongly. There is an extra step u need to do, that is to ruff up ur hair after it has dried and set. You will realize ur hair becomes soft and malleable again but the shape is still there, it should feel the same as if u applied soft clay or wax.

    • @KCDeportes

    I use cream. My hair is curly Type 2 ( wavy). My favorite cream is for wavy and curly hair called Hobby. I just bought another cream called Fonex with pro vitamin B5. I live in Turkey and they have some products for curly hair here. I found these are pretty good for my hair. I like using cream now whereas when my hair was shorter I used pomade. Now that I am growing my hair a little longer the cream is better.

      Well technically the texture and the amount of hair is different. So you can have a full head of fine hair or be holding onto a few strands of really thick hair. If that makes sense.

    Use water based product that includes kaolin or bentonite. Kaolin good for swelling the hair for people with thinning hair. Clay gives matte finish.
