Effortless texture is the secret to modern, stylish men’s hair—whether you’re rocking a short crop, a messy quiff, or longer, laid-back waves. The best part? You don’t need to spend hours styling or use a dozen products. Here are three simple methods to get that perfectly tousled, textured look, with tips for different hair lengths and recommended BluMaan products.
1. Use a Sea Salt Spray for Beachy Texture
Best for: Short to medium hair, straight or wavy hair, messy crops, and relaxed styles
Sea salt spray is a go-to for creating natural, beach-inspired texture and volume. It works by adding grit and separation, making hair look fuller and more dynamic—especially helpful for fine or straight hair. Here’s how to use it:
- Start with slightly damp hair (towel-dried).
- Spray 2–3 pumps of Blumaan Texturizing Sea Salt Spray evenly throughout your hair.
- Use your fingers or a brush to distribute the product.
- Blow-dry while scrunching your hair with your hands, or let it air dry for a softer finish.
- For extra hold, finish with a small amount of Matte Cream Clay.
Why it works: Sea salt spray adds loose, wavy texture and a light boost of volume without making hair stiff or crunchy. Our Texturizing Sea Salt formula includes cucumber and algae extracts to keep hair moisturized, making it suitable for daily use.
2. Matte Cream Clay for Defined, Touchable Texture
Best for: Short to medium hair, textured crops, quiffs, messy fringe, thin or fine hair
Matte Cream Clay is ideal for guys who want a stronger, flexible hold with a natural, non-shiny finish. It’s especially effective for creating choppy layers and definition in styles like the textured crop or messy quiff.
- Take a dime-sized scoop of Matte Cream Clay and warm it between your palms.
- Apply evenly to dry hair, starting at the back and working forward.
- Use your fingers to tousle and shape your hair, focusing on creating separation and movement.
- Add more product as needed for extra hold or texture.
Why it works: Matte Cream Clay provides structure and lasting hold while keeping styles touchable and soft. It’s versatile enough for all hair types and lengths, and is great for both casual and semi-formal looks.
3. A Combo for Maximum Texture
Best for: Medium to longer hair, layered cuts, modern pompadours, shaggy crops, and those seeking all-day hold
For the most effortless, long-lasting texture, use a two-step routine: a Texturizing Sea Salt Spray as a pre-styler and a Matte Cream Clay as a post-styler. This method works for almost any hair type and is especially effective for medium-length haircuts like the textured quiff, modern pompadour, or shaggy crop.
- Mist damp hair with Texturizing Sea Salt Spray and distribute evenly
- Blow-dry while scrunching or using a diffuser to enhance waves and volume.
- Once dry, apply a small amount of Matte Cream Clay for added definition and hold.
- Use your fingers to shape and finish the style, keeping it loose and natural.
Why it works: The Texturizing Sea Salt spray creates the foundation of texture and volume, while the clay locks in the style and adds definition. This combo is recommended by stylists for achieving salon-quality, lived-in texture at home.
Pro Tips:
- Instead of a Sea Salt Spray, opt for a Clay Texture Powder instead for a more dryer but still texturizing look.
- For fine or thin hair, textured styles like the crop or messy quiff add fullness and volume.
- For thick or wavy hair, layered cuts and Matte Cream Clay help control bulk while enhancing natural texture.
- Always start with less product and add more as needed to avoid weighing hair down.
Effortless texture is all about the right products and minimal fuss. With products like Texturizing Sea Salt Spray and Matte Cream Clay, you can easily achieve a modern, stylish look that lasts all day—no matter your hair type or length.
