Start with clean towel dried hair.
We recommend washing your hair first with Bed Head for Men by TIGI Charge Up Thickening Shampoo and following up with Bed Head for Men by TIGI Charge Up Thickening Conditioner then towel-dry your hair. This formula thickens and strengthens your hair, which is the perfect base for styling.
Scoop out styling paste.
To style your hair you’ll want to use a hair product that’ll give you the flexibility to reshape your hair as you style it. AXE Urban Messy Look Flexible Paste allows you to do just that. All you need is a scoop of paste. Rub the paste between your palms to activate and warm the product before applying it to your hair.
Rough style your hair.
As you apply your paste, use your hands to mess your texture up a bit to style. Roughly run your hands through your hair, lifting the strands up as you go, until you get the look you like. Styling hair to point in different directions can help to create the illusion of movement and thickness. To style a receding hairline you’re aiming to create a soft messy look that will disguise your thinning areas.
