Hair product suggestion for Kevin Elezaj side swept hairstyle with volume

[gcyman]

Hey guys!

So, I've decided to try something new after 5 years of having the same hair. I live in the UK and my hair is pretty fine flat & straight.

I typically have it up, swept and as 'messy' as I can get it with my straight hair with a shitload of Gatsby Grey Rubber to keep it in place, and use a bit of Da'due salt spray for texture.

I'm mid-growing out now and my aim is this (Kevin Elezaj):

As I thought it didnt require too much volume and would suit my hair.

But, now that my hair is getting too long to do what I used to, what product should I use to get something like that? (UK Based)

Kevin Elezaj's hair looks about 5-6 inches long which is borderline long - still considered medium length hair in our guide and the guide from The Men's Hair Book. Once men's hair starts getting too long - 8 inches and beyond - it becomes quite the trick to get it to stay in place with.a volume side swept hairstyle like the one of Kevin Elezaj. Having thick hair with high density helps a lot and Kevin Elezaj is blessed in that regards.

If you have fine hair as you say, then the trick to a voluminized side swept hairstyle is to use a hair dryer and a good hair wax with good hold that keeps the look natural. You basically style your hair with a small dab of the hair wax when your hair is damp - not dry - and get the side swept hair going with your fingers - NOT a comb!.

Then, you grab some more hair wax - two to three finger dabs - and continue to side sweep your hair WITH now the hair dryer pointing towards the hair from the front - you'd have the air from the hair dryer blowing on the front of your hair i.e. the forelock. Continue side sweeping until you achieve the volume you want - the longer the hair dryer is blowing air, the more volume. Use a warm setting but not the warmest! Keep the distance to about one foot between the hair dryer and your hair.

That hairstyle of Kevin Elezaj with the volume side swept hair is very easy with the two hair products I've mentioned. I'd suggest that you try this hair wax which has the natural look going and that you use any of these hair dryers which are both cheap and good for what they cost. Both linked products are purchased from the UK, so you will be set.

Thanks! This was a lot more in depth than I expected but super helpful, I'll need to get used to using a hair dryer.

And yeah, I'm quite sure my hair is fine BUT there is a lot of it. Hopefully I can get something close to this.

Thanks again!

You got some sound advice from Panther! So long as you have a lot of scalp hair (i.e. dense hair), it wo't matter whether it is fine or thick. That sort of hairstyle from Kevin Elezaj is only truly possible (as far as aesthetics goes) if one has a high density of hair on the scalp.

Glad you were able to get the help you were looking for!
