​Did you know that more guys are taking their hair and scalp care seriously? According to an industry analysis by Grandview Research, 58% of men condition their hair and 10% give their scalp regular treatments. The numbers are only going up quickly! Since every guy seems to be on board with their hair care, we thought it would be cool to share some of our favorite products with you!

PRODUCT LINES

​There are many product lines that offer everything from shampoo to styling products.  Angela of Angela's Ebony Hair Designs and Barbershop says, "One line doesn't have everything I use,” and she describes liking a variety for different textures and hair needs.

--Mielle Organics LLC
Mielle is a multicultural line that uses natural ingredients to take a “proactive approach to healthy hair and scalp.” Mielle’s idea of ‘healthy ingredients equal healthy hair’ really resonates with us. We use their shampoo, conditioner, and leave-in conditioners.
--STMNT Grooming Goods
This barber line is marketed as an edgier, modern and bold brand that is here for the creative look.  Barber Joel Weimer loves this line because of the scent.  He feels the scent helps create and adds to the barbershop experience.

We like the story behind this brand.  Master Barbers Julius Cvesar, Staygold, and Nomad Barber collaborated to form a ‘brand with a purpose’ to solve problems.  They make their products from scratch and rigorously test them.  To summarize, they put focus on sophisticated, genderless and salon quality into daily life products that will make you look good and smell good.

​STYLING PRODUCTS

“My goal is to be a master manipulator of hair. The only way to do that is to know the products.” –Aaron Brown.

We know that the world of styling products can be overwhelming, which is why we want to share our top picks for achieving a stylish look without any heavy, greasy buildup. As Aaron always says, “Guys want an easy routine” and these products are quick, easy to use, and perform well!

--Frenzy by Sexyhair
When doing men’s hairstyles with products, Barber Cameron Bridgewater chooses Frenzy as her go-to product for clients with fine hair.  She loves the texture it provides.
--Powder Play by Sexyhair
One of the most popular hair products for men in the chair, Powder Play adds intense volume and texture that lasts all day.
--Pump It Up Hairspray 
This is a quick dry spritz that freezes and dries on contact. It doesn’t leave build up or flake. Angela loves this hairspray when it’s hot outside!
--Suavecito Pomades
Whether you prefer a creamy, matte, or oil-based pomade, Suavecito is one of our favorites!  Barber Drew Stadeker uses the matte finish the most for his clients.  He loves the firm hold and the scent.  ​Aaron likes how Suavecito collaborates with other entities with their products to keep it fun, and to reach new markets.  He feels it keeps their products current.

SHAVING PRODUCTS

Having a fantastic shave is essential to the Barbershop Experience. We have some top-notch products that we love to use and recommend as they can help solve and prevent common problems like ingrown hairs, reduce red bumps and general beard care. 

--Exotics by Curtis Smith
We chose this line not only because it solves problems, but it’s made of all natural ingredients.  Skin Rescue is great for shaving irritation and Sweet Jamila is our best-selling shea hair/skin product at Razors Image.  Again, Joel loves the scent of this line!  Aaron likes this line because it offers quality products for every step of the shave.
--Razors Image Beard Oil
We have formulated our very own oil that smooths and nourishes the beard.  It is made with the thinnest oils that strengthen the hair from the inside out. The scent is light and fresh, yet masculine.  This is our best-selling oil.

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR PRODUCTS

Choosing the right products for your hair can work wonders! Consult your barber, tell them what you use now, what problems you may have, and find the products that will deliver what you need specifically.  Things like hard water or humidity play a huge part in the look and feel of your hair and scalp.  There are products designed to help keep your hair healthy and promote growth while maintaining the perfect balance of moisture and proteins.

​
Aaron says that “Men usually buy products when they have a problem.”  With that in mind, many of the products on our list are wonderful problem-solvers.  You can research and prevent these issues from arising and take excellent care of YOUR hair, skin, and scalp because Knowledge makes you Sharp on the Inside; Applying it makes you Sharp on the Outside!
