Top Ten Styling Products For Fall Reviewed

  • Posted on October 6, 2009 at 8:42 pm

Welcome to top ten week again here at Hair Care Discounters and today is our top ten best styling products for the fall list and we are completely excited about this list, however, we did have to pull off Sebastian Wet Sleek Hold Liquid Gel since it is discontinued, however we still do have afew thousand bottles in stock so if you need it you can always visit our site at http://www.haircarediscounters.com and buy sebastian wet sleek hold gel….it’ also on sale right now for $7.95 per bottle so if you do need it, hurry up lol.   Also, because Sebastian pulled this product, we have pulled their shaper plus and reshaper hairsprays from our top ten list.  I was also sad to see that the Rusk w8less hairspray didn’t make it this fall either as that is a favorite product of mine, but I am sure it will come back in the spring and summer when you want weightless styling products that hold up perfectly in humidity and heat.  Then again, the fall isn’t humid or hot so maybe that is why that product didn’t make it.  Anyways, here is our top ten styling products for fall list for 2009.

10.  TIGI Bed Head Manipulator Creme.   This product is an awesome styling product for fall.  Not only does it dry and hold fast, but it is perfect for messy looks, dred locks, spikes and other cool and younger hairstyles.  It also works perfectly to create crazy looks and styles for Halloween so the TIGI Bed Head Manipulator Creme gets the number 10 spot in our top ten styling products for fall list.

9.  Artec Kiwi Color Reflect Blaster Spray.  Coming out of Summer means it is time to color your hair darker again and start to repair the damage done from Summer chemicals and heat.  Because a ton of people go darker for the Fall and want their color to look their best while also repairing damage, we chose the Artec Kiwi Color Reflect Blaster Spray for our number 9 product since it not only helps to hold and show off your gorgeous new hair color, but it also holds your style amaingly well and dries fast so that you don’t have to worry about your hair freezing in the cold fall weather.

8.  Brocato Mousse Volumizing Foam.  Noone can say enough good things about Brocato.  Their volumizing Mousse Foam is also an amazing product and definitely in our top ten list at the number 8 spot for the best styling products for fall.  Since bobs and bumps and updos and even some semi curly styles are coming back this season,,,,especially vintage and 70s hair curl wise, what better way to boost your volume and hold those curls then with the Brocato Mousse Volumizing Foam.  This product should have been higher but I am still happy to see it made the number 8 spot in our top ten best styling products for fall.

7.  Aquage Finishing Spray.  The Aquage Finishing Spray is a long lasting and strong holding hair spray that not only dries fast but also holds strong.  It is perfect for fall hairstyles because it is also a brushable hairspray that still holds shape as long as you don’t overdo it with your brush.  The Aquage Finishing Spray is the perfect finishing spray for fall hairstyles since you can brush it and use it over other products like mousses and lifters.

6.  American Crew Fiber.   American Crew Fiber is normally a Men’s Hair Product, however if you have a short bob or a pixie hair cut and need a product that you can use to hold your hair and also not have to have a shiney finish, then this is the perfect product for you and your fall hairstyle.   Don’t worry guys, the American Crew Fiber is still for you and you will love it if you have never tried it before.   Also, since shiney hair is never good in the fall, this is the perfect product since it still styles your hair but doesn’t make it shiney.

5.  Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray.  The Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray is our number 5 choice for the best styling products for fall because if you had heat or chemical damage this summer or your hair is a little bit thinner and you need that full thick look and hair back, then this product will help to get you there.  Made for all hair types, the Bumble and Bumble Thickening Spray is an amazing styling product to help thicken your hair and get you back your style.

4.  Kenra Medium Hold Hairspray.   The Kenra Medium Hold Hairspray is the perfect hairspray for fall.  Since most fall looks need to be able to move but also hold their shape, the Kenra Medium Hold Hairspray is perfect for your fall look since it is a medium hold that last and lets your hair live and be free.   If you have a hairstyle that needs to move this fall, the Kenra Medium Hold Hairspray is the perfect one for you.

3.  Matrix Curl Life Body Shaping Foam.  Since vintage hair and bumps are back, you cannot go wrong the with Matrix Curl Life Body Shaping Foam.  Not only does it help to shape your hair, but it also helps to add body and bounce back into your hair.  Perfect for Farrah Faucet hair, curls and other volume styles with curls, this product is amazing and we are happy to have it in our number 3 spot.

2.  CHI Volume Booster.   The CHI Volume Booster is perfect for this years vintage styles and Bobs.  It not only helps to boost your body and volume, but it also holds seriously well.  This is one of the best products for fall hair from the CHI line and if you have ever tried any of the other CHI products, you have to try this one too.  The CHI Volume Booster is an amazing spray and our number two pick for the best fall styling products.

1.  Joico Ice Spiker Glue.   Tons of people are cutting their hair off this Fall for shorter styles and pixie hair has also made a comeback.  Because of this and because we don’t always remember to post for the guys who read our blog, our number one choice for the best styling products for fall is the Joico Ice Spiker Glue.  It is technically a guys product, however women can use this to help create short style and hold pixie styles too.  It dries fast, there is little to no clean up and it is an amazing matte finish so you won’t have shiney ugly and greasy hair.  You can also use a hairspray over top of it if you want a shine added onto it without a ton of greasy looking strands.   Because we wanted to give something for the Guys and Sebastian pulled their Gel so I pulled our numbr one pick for fall, the Joico Ice Spiker Glue is definitely a perfect contender and a product that I am happy to put in first place for the best styling product for fall.   It really is a great product for men and women with short hair and if you haven’t tried it before, now is the perfect time.

Thank you again for reading our top ten lists this week and come back tomorrow for another one.

What are some of the best hair products for Men?

  • Posted on August 26, 2009 at 11:16 pm

So something that most style and hair blogs forget about are the men that read them.  They forget to mention that Men actually do care as much about their hair as Women and secretly read up on what products they should be using, what happens when their hair starts to thin, how can they keep from loosing more hair, what products are good for their hair and skin, how can they control acne and breakouts, especially when they are in the work place after college and are too old to be getting break outs, and so this post is for you guys and for your men.

Secretly and not so secretly Men (not just the metrosexuals and gays) are being more open about their concerns with their hair.  Going bald sucks and watching your hair start to thin can stink too.  Men weren’t always as privy to products for thin or fine hair and so if their hair starts to thin, and their styling products no longer work, they are all of the sudden at a loss, where as Women have been playing with these types of products all of their lives and are more easily able to switch to a new product or styling product if they notice their hair is damaged, dry, if they have fine hair or a friend who has curls and unfortunately most men don’t get that.

Because of the lack of knowledge, and the resistance to feminine products being in their bathrooms and showers, this post contains some of my favorite mens products that not only have masculine packaging, but they are all also designed for use on Men’s hair and are some of the best Mens hair products on the market today.   Now, this is only one of many posts we will do to make sure our Men are covered, but if there is a particular type of hair issue you would like to see covered or recommendations on products for men, please always feel free to write to Adam (you can find his contact info on the contact us page at HairCareDiscounters.com), and he’ll add it into Heather and the other bloggers line up of items and topics to cover.  Now onto our post about the best hair care products for men.

So what makes a hair care product for men hit the top of our list?  We take a few things into consideration to help make sure that it will be a fit for men and a product that they will not be shy or embarrased about having around in their apartment or house.  We also like to make sure that it is formulated for Men or is masculine enough looking without all of the flowery botanical scents so that Men may give it a try instead of letting it sit in the back of a medicine cabinet for years.   So by taking the formula into consideration, the packaging and the scents, we slowly start to pick our favorite products and begin recommending the best hair care products for men.  So lets share our top favorites for today!

Redken for Men Mint Clean Shampoo 10 Oz.

Redken for Men Mint Clean Shampoo 10 Oz.

This is one of my favorite products for Men and Men love this shampoo.  It is the Redken for Men Mint Clean Shampoo and it is amazing.  It is a daily use shampoo and has a matching conditioner that not only works its way into cleaning your hair, but is also works on your scalp to give you that amazing fresh and clean feeling when you finish washing your hair.

What makes this product even better though is that it is a refreshing mint product that actually gives you a nice massaging tingle while you use it and on a side note, I have actually stolen this from an ex boyfriend while I was staying at his house and fell in love with it,,,tooo bad it was made for men, but luckily I did find a version of a mint and eucalyptus shampoo for Women that works and feels just as good, but we’ll save that for another post since this post is all about the Men lol.

Redken For Men Stand Tough Gel 5 oz

Redken For Men Stand Tough Gel 5 oz

The Redken for Men Stand Tough Gel is an awesome hair gel for men.

It is a long lasting and long holding hair gel that allows you to have the versatility of created a wet or sleek look with your hair or if you brush it out, you can have a natural look and hair style that will not look wet but will still give you the same holding power and flexibility as a normal gel.

Although this is an extreme hold gel, depending on how you apply it and how wet your hair is, you can still make it a manageable hold or use it to freeze your hair in place all day without any movement.  If you do want the hold all day without any movement feel and look for your hair, I recommend using the Redken for Men Stand Tought Gel on wet to damp hair and then blowdrying it into place and using a hairspray on top of it to make sure your hair holds its shape and doesn’t move while you’re out doing whatever it is you do.
