Your barber can give you the best haircut in the world, but if you are using the wrong products at home, or none at all, it is going to look completely different by day two. The gap between just left the barbershop and real life usually comes down to product. Here is what we actually recommend to our clients at Premium Barbershop and why.
Pomade: For Classic Styles That Need Shine
If you are wearing a slick back, hard part, or pompadour, pomade is what holds it together. Giving you a firm grip with a natural sheen and washes out easily since it is water-based. It works best on medium to thick hair and suits anyone going for a polished, business-ready finish.
Styling Clay: For Texture Without Shine
Clay is great for textured crops, messy quiffs, and everyday styles that need to stay in place while still looking effortless. You can rework it throughout the day, which is a huge plus for guys who are active.
Matte Paste: For the Effortless Look
Hybrid between clay and wax. Matte finish, high hold, and a product-free look. This is for guys who want their hair to look effortless but structured. It works especially well on fine to medium-thick hair and holds up all day without needing a touch-up. Solid choice for interviews, dates, or casual Fridays.
Sea Salt Spray: For Volume and Texture
Sea Salt Spray is what we recommend for guys with flat or fine hair who need lift. It adds a beachy, gritty texture that makes thin hair look fuller. Spray it on damp hair, hit it with a blow dryer, and you have got volume that heavier products would crush. Works well for longer styles and natural waves too.
Styling Cream: For Longer Hair and Curls
Styling Cream is lightweight, smooths frizz, and gives you just enough control without stiffness. If you have got longer hair or curly texture, this is the product that tames things without flattening them. Subtle, flexible, and leaves no buildup
Shampoo and Conditioner: Do Not Cheap Out
Shampoo and Conditioner kits are recommend for guys dealing with thinning or scalp issues. They target scalp health with each wash and a lot of our clients have noticed real improvement in texture and fullness after switching from drugstore products. Your scalp is the foundation. If it is not healthy, your hair will not look right no matter what styling product you use on top.
Beard Oil: Do Not Forget Your Face
Beard Oil hydrates both the hair and the skin underneath, prevents flaking and itch, and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feel. If you are growing or maintaining a beard, this should be in your daily rotation. Pair it with a boar bristle brush for even distribution.
How to Choose What Is Right for You
Everyone’s hair is different. What works for thick, coarse hair will not work for fine, flat hair. Your lifestyle matters too. When you come in for a haircut in Vaughan, ask your barber. We are always happy to walk you through what works for your specific hair type, cut, and routine.
