Fight dandruff

The key to a great hairstyle is always a good wash. Use CLEAR Cool Sport Menthol Anti-Dandruff Shampoo for Men to help make your scalp dandruff-free. It is formulated with Bio-Nutrium 10 that helps activate your scalp’s natural protective layer so you can better fight and prevent dandruff. It also has menthol that leaves a cooling sensation on your scalp while removing dirt, grease, and grime.

Apply styling gel

After drying your hair, make sure to apply a styling gel to help hold the braids in place. This will also give your man bun braid a sleek look. We recommend using VO5 Mega Hold Styling Gel to protect your man bun braid from humidity.
