Everything You Need to Know About Texturizing Products

BONJOUR DAH-LING! Today we’re talking all things texture. From pastes to sprays, styling crème to pomade, this popular product comes in a number of textures. Our texturizing products are among the most versatile of all our Number 4 Styling Products. No matter what length of hair you have, a product that provides texture is perfect to add to your styling arsenal. At Number 4, all our products are paraben-free but don’t think that stops them from delivering pliable texture. You can use your texture paste or crème to create the ultimate definition and shine, regardless of whether your hair is long or short. We’re throwing texture into the spotlight, looking specifically at our Texture Styling Crème. It’s equally as good for boys as it is for girls, so if you’re looking for hair care gift ideas for the man in your life, N4’s Texture Crème is an excellent choice. Let’s start with a general heads up on what’s so great about texturizing products and why they’re a flexible and non-sticky styling solution that men and women love.

WHAT IS A TEXTURE PASTE, CRÈME OR POMADE?

Simply put, it’s a pliable, easy-to-manipulate hair styling product that will deliver incredible smoothness, stellar shine and delectable definition. Available in various thicknesses in terms of consistency, pastes and pomades benefit from a gentle bit of heat between the palms so that they can be worked through the hair to create a long-lasting hold. With a nearly invisible cream-like texture once manipulated between the ends of the fingers, you can evenly distribute throughout the hair, applying freely from root to tips to give any style extra staying power. With a crème, also sometimes referred to as a lotion, it has a much smoother, thinner consistency that’s an excellent choice if moisturization is also one of your key haircare goals. You can still create control and maintain frizz but with a softer hold and more natural shine.

WHAT DOES A TEXTURIZING PRODUCT DO FOR YOUR HAIR?

Texture paste or texture Crème is going to help make even the most unruly of manes more manageable and easier to control and style. If you lack structure, a texture paste creates a workable, solid, yet still malleable foundation so that you can tame ends, smooth away flyaways and generally create a more polished finish. While a Crème delivers fantastic shine and separation.

HOW DO YOU APPLY A TEXTURE PASTE OR CRÈME?

It couldn’t be easier. Simply apply a pea-sized amount to the palm of your hand, and rub the palms together to emulsify the paste or Crème, working through with your fingertips to either damp or dry hair. N4’s formula has been specially created for workable control, so you can layer the product depending on the level of texture that you desire.

HAIRSTYLES THAT BENEFIT FROM TEXTURE STYLING PRODUCTS

Whether you are creating beautiful braids which require a bit of extra grit and grip to create lasting hold and texture or want to go for a grungier look with cool 90s style tousled waves, the key to achieving chunky non-sticky texture and shine is to work that texture! We also love a little bit of N4’s Texture Crème to secure a polished up-do in place. It delivers head-turning confidence that will have you stepping out in style. And let’s not forget about the boys. Texture Crème is most definitely your best styling friend.
