Haircare Essentials: Tailoring Products to Hair Types

No two heads of hair are alike—and that’s why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t cut it when it comes to haircare. At Tommy Gun’s Original Barbershop, we believe men deserve products that work as hard as they do, tailored to the unique needs of their hair type. Whether your hair is thick, fine, curly, or straight, the right grooming arsenal makes all the difference.

Thick Hair: Control Meets Style

If you’ve got a full, dense mane, managing it is all about control. Look for shampoos that cleanse without stripping natural oils and conditioners that add softness without weighing hair down. Styling creams and strong-hold pomades—like Layrite Superhold—are perfect for keeping your style in check throughout the day.

Fine Hair: Boosting Volume

Fine hair needs lightweight products that won’t flatten it. Volumizing shampoos and conditioners add lift while keeping strands strong. For styling, L3VEL3 Styling Powder is a game-changer—it adds instant lift, thickness, and weightless texture. The matte finish keeps hair looking fresh, never greasy, so fine strands stay full and defined all day. 

Curly Hair: Define and Hydrate

Curls require extra hydration to stay defined and frizz-free. A moisturizing shampoo and conditioner duo is key, along with leave-in products that lock in moisture. For styling, products like American Crew Forming Pre-Styler Shampoo help keep curls soft, defined, and manageable without crunch or stiffness.

Wavy Hair: Embrace the Texture

Wavy hair sits between straight and curly, giving you natural versatility. To enhance that texture, Uppercut Deluxe Control Cream delivers effortless definition with a natural finish. It keeps waves controlled yet flexible, striking the balance between laid-back and polished.

Straight Hair: Sleek and Sharp

Straight hair often looks its best when kept sleek and polished. Lightweight shampoos paired with nourishing conditioners ensure a smooth finish. For styling, products like Reuzel Severed Head Clay Pomade deliver strong hold and a natural, matte finish without overloading your hair.

The Bottom Line

Tailoring your grooming routine to your hair type isn’t just about looking good—it’s about keeping your hair healthy, strong, and easy to manage. At Tommy Gun’s Original Barbershop, we carry a wide range of professional products from brands like Layrite, American Crew, Uppercut Deluxe, L3VEL3, and Reuzel to help every man find his perfect match.
