This is pretty much my daily routine. Pre-style with mousse, fiber foam, sea-salt spray, or even a light clay, and then I blow dry and use a finishing product. Sometimes I pre-style and finish with the same product like Arcadian clay pomade. Great video!
Great tips! Great video, as always. PS, when you mentioned you've been making videos for years, I went through your channel and was quite shocked to realize that I've been watching for 5 years. It's absolutely wonderful that you're still making videos. Thank you!
I’ve been in the dark about how I have been styling my hair for years and just discovered your channel. Thanks for teaching me a ton, you do great work!
Turns out I've been following your 3 stages of hair styling without knowing. I think the hairdryer is an essential hair styling instrument. I won't do without it, unless I'm wearing my hair unstyled or going for a very natural look.
For me doing a side part is usually easier without a hairdryer, specially if I want it to have at least some slickness, like Robin has in the beginning of the video.
@@pereiraplaza222 I've been styling my hair in a side part for a while now. I first dry with the hair dryer in the direction I want to part my hair. Then I use a clay to form the hair into a side part. I then get shine by layering some shiny pomade over it. That's the finishing for me.
I always wanted to style my hairs like my barber does, but it never worked. Today I saw this amazing video and my hairs are perfect! Exactly like I wanted them to be! Thank you sooo much!
@@ManForHimself Right now, I straighten but because it's thin, I don't really know how to add the texture I see in other people's styles. All of the hair looks like 1-piece instead of "strands." I enjoy having longer hair (it goes down to my mouth) and is short on the sides and back (#2). If I let it curl, it looks unprofessional. I'm willing to play around with anything. Thank you for the reply.
Took you this long to make a vid about the basic steps but better late than never! This was very helpful and i will remember this everytime i style my hair 😁
Pre-Styling I use mousse, Aveda thickening tonic ( yet to try their volumizing tonic), hairdryer and roller brush Styling I use Odoud’s matt paste with Procombs Wide tooth styling comb Finishing I use osis hairspray
Just found your channel and I'm loving your videos. Can I ask what your process is for the day after? If you're not washing everyday do you rinse your hair and any product left in and start again the next day? would love to know. Just ordered the Nioxin shampoo/conditioner kit from your reccomendation - hope I can thicken my fine hair! Thanks
Hi robin, really good content. I have thick hair and tried a lot of different things to style it, I don’t like the greasy look but want good hold. Can you help recommend something? Thanks
On the subject of hair, Robbo I wonder if I may make a suggestion for something for you to look at. You recommended Nioxin a while ago, which is what I have been using. It's a great product but could be out of budget for some people who have burdens like.... Kids! I was recently recommended horse shampoo by a hairdresser. Horse shampoo and conditioner. You've seen how shiny those race horses are right? Right. Well this stuff is a budget product and it's like a secret has been revealed. Boots do one called Pony but the one I have is Mane n Tail from Superdrug (£5.95 each for Shampoo and Conditioner). It is apparently the same ingredient they use on those race horses. It really thickens up the hair and leaves ultra shiny, really healthy looking hair. Personally, I have found the results to be as good as Nioxin. I hope you don't mind me "advertising" on your channel. I am not repping for the company, it's really just something you might like to look at.
I have fine hair and I try to get volume and texture, which takes a lot of different products and technique. I would like to know the correct order of when I should use my products. Right now I wet my hair, towel dry, thickening tonic, heat protectant spray, blow dry/style, high hold clay, then hairspray. Anything I should change? thanks!
Hey Robin,which of these products,Patricks M3 or Morris Motley Treatment Styling Balm would be better for short-medium messy hairsyles?I have fine hair.
I use Morris Motley for my fine hair and it works great (my hair is around the same length as Robin's); great hold, malleable, and wonderful matte finish. I cannot comment on Patrick's M3 however
I personally think your style would look much more clean if you shaved the stray hairs off of your neck, and cleaned up the cheeks and went for more of a circle beard look. it would help make it look fuller and avoid the patches and uneven growth. maybe try it out see how you like it. Great content keep up the good work.
I feel like I’m asking a dumb question but is it okay to have a part on both sides of your head (have 1 part on one side then another to the opposites)?
Hey, this was just with a pre-styler - Kevin Murphy's Anti-Gravity Oil Free Volumiser. manforhimself.com/products/kevin-murphy-anti-gravity-oil-free-volumiser/
I have very wavy hair and there is a wave in the middle so whenever I try to put it up it just dips down in the middle. Any ideas/products to stop this?
What type of product do u think would work for a Leo dicaprio in tictanic type look. My hair is a tad longer than that but I like that pushed back vibe of that style and the finish of it
i use saltwater, and then NO products. partly this is because i was in my twenties in the grunge (90s) era, when men could just look sloppy all the time and get away with it, and so that's my adult grooming paradigm. and partly it's because i have naturally curly thick hair that has a lot of body and bounce anyway. and partly it's because the manufacture, transport, merchandising and disposal of all those products and packaging seem really wasteful.
I’ve been doing hair videos for years but I’ve never gone so simple! Why!? Had to do this. It all makes so much more sense.
This is pretty much my daily routine. Pre-style with mousse, fiber foam, sea-salt spray, or even a light clay, and then I blow dry and use a finishing product. Sometimes I pre-style and finish with the same product like Arcadian clay pomade. Great video!

Robin, I have thin and curly hair. I cannot find any recommendations for products or styles. I'd love your help. Thank you for all you do :)
Hey! What do you want to do? Straighten or work with the curl.
@@ManForHimself Right now, I straighten but because it's thin, I don't really know how to add the texture I see in other people's styles. All of the hair looks like 1-piece instead of "strands."

Str8ing will ruin the curly pattern.
What type of curly did you have?

I'm glad you enjoyed it, Arthur.
You have amazing hair already
Thanks Hanzala. Needs a little help though.
I am so jealous to say: you just have perfect hair. Always. Great Video!! 🤩
Ah, thanks Benn!
A pre-styler really does make a major difference!
Agreed.
this channel is amazing. tyvm
Cool move at the end with hairspray!
Cheers Mark.
Love you Robin!
Right back at you.
Yessss Robin
Hope you liked it, Jake.

Good product choices!
Your hairSTYLE looked better at the end of the 2nd stage. That volume and messy look!
I LOVE it big and messy too!
@@ManForHimself you have the natural hairstyle that i try to achieve after blow-drying 😂

Very nice video Robin! Keep up the good work, and I love these hairstyling videos :)
Thanks Marshall.
Hi Robin. Have you tried Aveda’s matte clay for men. Would like to know your thoughts. Cheers!
Hey, I have! Need to do a review, for sure.
Robin James That would be great. I (and I’m sure the rest of the world 😜) are waiting in anticipation!
Hi robin, really good content. I have thick hair and tried a lot of different things to style it, I don’t like the greasy look but want good hold. Can you help recommend something? Thanks
Hi Robin I have always been a massive supporter of you! So can I ask you a question because I have been very curious about it!
What is your height?
Hey, I'm 180cm/5'11.
My wifes silverkrin hairspray is the best finnishing product ive used! She does wonder why she goes through it so quickly!
Erm, yes!
Actual favourite of mine.
Very helpful 🤗
Thanks!
Loved this vid alot
Thanks Juan
Cool vid Robin. I heard that one should put styling paste, clay, gel, etc onto damp hair. I noticed you didn't.
Hey Gerry. If you're using them as a pre-styler and styling product then you can, for sure. But I'd go dry after pre-styling.
On the subject of hair, Robbo I wonder if I may make a suggestion for something for you to look at. You recommended Nioxin a while ago, which is what I have been using. It's a great product but could be out of budget for some people who have burdens like.... Kids!

Quick one - any pre-styler and/or styling products you’d recommend for someone with (crazy wild) thick hair please?
Should I use a comb for structuring or styling the hair?

Hey Robin, love your videos as always!
Have you tried stickmore's clay fiber? Would like to know your thoughts on it.
Cheers!
Hey! I've not. Have you?
Hello Robin 👋👋
Hey!
My hairs falls flat and never goes up after shampooing and i do shampoo just once a week what can i do ?
You need to add a bit of texture to it. A pre-styler will do this. Depending what you want to ultimately do to your hair.
👍👍👍 for my guy
Hey Sunny.
Love, from India 😇👌👌
Love to India.

Hey! I love both. They are pretty different though. MM is softer. M3 has more structure.

👍
HEY!
Which products is best for thick hair in pre style stage...
Can you do a review on the nioxion thickening tonic ?
100%. Should have something soon.
Is this you natural eyes colour?!
david serbia yes it is
Hey, it is!
I can't stop looking at you eyes, amazing
Would using a sea salt spray be ok for pre-styling?
Can you review Men Skin Co?
I will certainly check it out.
@@ManForHimself awesome :D keep seeing on my Facebook feed haha
@@ManForHimself oh and thank you, realised I didn't say please or thank you haha 😅
Woah new hair dryer .
Good spot!
review the moroccanoil texture clay please
Hey! It's definitely on my list!
Robin James really thanks, i will wait 😀
What are some ways to get more volume on days you wash your hair?? My hair is always so flat when I wash it
I love this ideas. Noting it. Video to come!
hey could you please review odouds conditioner :)
Hey! Will pop on the list.
I feel like I’m asking a dumb question but is it okay to have a part on both sides of your head (have 1 part on one side then another to the opposites)?
Robin, what styling product would you recommend for a matte, textured "strandy" look like you have at 0:58? I also have fine hair.
Hey, this was just with a pre-styler - Kevin Murphy's Anti-Gravity Oil Free Volumiser. manforhimself.com/products/kevin-murphy-anti-gravity-oil-free-volumiser/
i love ur long hair but i also miss the short sides! u think you'll ever go back?
Hey! I'm enjoying this for now.
How do I get hair like at 2:41?
Can i use hair straightening brush instead of hair dryer to style my hair?
Hey Sushant. You can! Have you tried?
@@ManForHimself yes I have. I can get a slicked back style easily from the brush, but it's difficult to get a quiff.
How to treat uneven hairline
Good video idea!
Dear robin do your hairfall out during styling? Is it normal ! If it falls how many do they fall ..
5:59 he look like Harry Styles
I have very wavy hair and there is a wave in the middle so whenever I try to put it up it just dips down in the middle. Any ideas/products to stop this?
Build volume from the roots. What are you currently using?
I missed the old u like the old hair, the old moustache with no beard
What type of product do u think would work for a Leo dicaprio in tictanic type look. My hair is a tad longer than that but I like that pushed back vibe of that style and the finish of it
Cream Wax! For sure. Lighter but something that gives structure.
At 1:12, do you have any recommendations for a smoothing prestyler for men with coarse/curly hair?
100%. Bb. Primer Lotion is great. It smooths my hair perfectly. manforhimself.com/products/bumble-and-bumble-tonic-primer/
Thank you, much appreciated!
The hairdryer just trippled your hair floof ration
All about the volume!

Hey Robin how are you doing, remember me
I'm well thanks. You?
@@ManForHimself doing great
I always style my hair n it lays flat n gives me no volume :'( what can i do to give it volume anyone please?
Hey, what prestylers are you using? Any volume products?
i use saltwater, and then NO products. partly this is because i was in my twenties in the grunge (90s) era, when men could just look sloppy all the time and get away with it, and so that's my adult grooming paradigm. and partly it's because i have naturally curly thick hair that has a lot of body and bounce anyway. and partly it's because the manufacture, transport, merchandising and disposal of all those products and packaging seem really wasteful.
Fantastic editing, must have been tedious
Thanks! It was actually okay. I had a great day doing it!
What the hell do I do if I have thin and curly hair
Any of this. Prestylers will help.

Hey how did you do the hairstyle in the photo of your Instagram at 0:16 I’m trying to go for a similar style what products did you use?
Hey! I think I should do a video. A few people have asked.
Robin James please do I’d appreciate it
When you are filming, you should let some space on top of your head, because the new phones display 18/9 are cutting your hair.
Lucas No they’re not. Update your youtube app.
I don't know why but u remind me of a puma
I'm very cat like, for sure.
that shirt collar is unsatisfying
Dare u to shave ur head
Dude you lost hair in partition area I guess
Thanks for the feedback.
Isn't trying to offend you in anyways and somehow if i do then sorry for that,i think that your jawline is receeding and losing its structure.
Thanks for the feedback.
