Since the pandemic, lived-in hair has become a staple in men’s grooming. According to STMNT Grooming co-creator, Julius Caesar, “Hair follows fashion, which follows suit to the overall climate of current society. As the world went through the pandemic and we were all forced to slow down, so did the overall movement of everything around us. The polished prepped, and put-together image of ourselves was traded in for cozy, comfy, and chill as we were confined to our personal spaces. Hair soon went in the same direction, where many grew fond of their natural texture and thus the ‘Lived-In’ era was re-born.”
See below on how Julius Caesar gets the lived-in look:
- “Lived-in hairstyles are very cohesive looks that are natural to how it lays, and with focus on low-maintenance upkeep as it grows out. These styles usually have a softer finish with little to no hard lines/ edges. They also compliment an individual’s natural hair texture and allow for easy styling."
- “The best tool you can use besides a few good hair styling products is actually your hands!” His top styling products, after a good clean with STMNT Shampoo + Conditioner, are: “STMNT Grooming Spray for a very soft gritty finish will prep the hair for coming days in which the hair will build natural oils and coils to truly give that “Lived-In” perfect for continuous styling with the ease of our hands.”
- “For some root-lift/volume, a hint of STMNT Spray Powder placed on desired areas will accentuate purposeful shape and height.”
- “I personally like heating up a very small amount of STMNT Shine Paste into my hands and fingers, followed by scrunching into the hair from root to ends for a fuller yet weightless ‘just woke up and rolled out of bed with perfect hair’ finish.”
