FAQ about Hairstyling for Men

What are the most popular men’s hairstyles in Singapore?

Popular men’s hairstyles in Singapore include classic looks like the Pompadour, High Fade, and Side Part and trendy options like the Korean Two-Block Cut, Mullet, and Textured Crop. Styles that are easy to maintain in a humid climate are especially popular.

How do I keep my hairstyle looking fresh?

To keep hair looking fresh in Singapore’s humid climate, use lightweight, humidity-resistant products like sea salt spray, dry shampoo, and anti-frizz serums. Regular trims, sulfate-free shampoo, and avoiding heavy styling products also help prevent greasiness and frizz.

What products should I use to keep my hairstyle in place all day?

The right products depend on the style you want to achieve. Pomades and gels work well for slicked-back or structured looks, while matte clays and sea salt sprays are ideal for textured, casual styles. For long-lasting hold, consider using a humidity-resistant hairspray or flexible-hold hairspray, especially in humid climates.

How often should I get a haircut to maintain my style?

To keep your hairstyle looking fresh, most stylists recommend getting a haircut every 4-6 weeks. For shorter styles like Fades and Crops, you might need more frequent touch-ups (every 2-3 weeks) to maintain the sharpness.

What’s the difference between pomade, wax, and gel, and which one should I use?

Each product offers a different finish and hold level. Pomade provides a shiny, smooth finish and works well for slicked-back or polished styles like the Pompadour. Wax offers a matte finish with flexible hold, making it ideal for textured or messy styles like the Quiff or Textured Crop. Gel gives the strongest hold and a glossy finish, perfect for styles that need structure, but it can make hair feel stiff. Choose based on the style you’re going for and your hair type.

Should I wash my hair every day?

Washing your hair daily isn’t necessary for most people and can strip your scalp of natural oils, which help keep hair healthy. Instead, aim to wash your hair 2-3 times per week, depending on your hair type and lifestyle. If you have an oily scalp, try using dry shampoo between washes to keep hair looking fresh without overwashing.
