How to Use Bevel 2-in-1 Pomade for a Messy Textured Look

The messy textured look is a timeless style that exudes effortless cool. It works for almost any hair type, but it's especially flattering for men with coarse or curly hair, where the natural texture can be enhanced rather than fought. Achieving this look requires the right product and technique, and Bevel 2-in-1 Pomade is designed exactly for that purpose.

In this guide, we'll walk you through a step-by-step tutorial on how to use Bevel 2-in-1 Pomade to create a messy, textured hairstyle. From prepping your hair to applying the pomade and finishing with the perfect tousle, you'll learn everything you need to nail this style at home.

Why Bevel 2-in-1 Pomade is Perfect for Messy Textured Styles

Bevel 2-in-1 Pomade is a versatile styling product that provides medium hold with a natural, low-shine finish. This makes it ideal for messy looks because it allows your hair to move and breathe while still holding its shape. Unlike heavy gels or waxes, it won't leave your hair stiff or crunchy, so you can easily run your fingers through it throughout the day.

The pomade is formulated with nourishing ingredients that are gentle on coarse and curly hair, which is common among men of color. It helps tame frizz and flyaways without weighing down your hair, making it easier to achieve that perfectly undone texture. Plus, it has a pleasant, subtle scent that isn't overpowering.

• Medium hold for flexible styling
• Low shine for a natural, matte finish
• Nourishing formula for coarse and curly hair

Step 1: Start with Clean, Damp Hair

The foundation of any great hairstyle is clean hair. Wash your hair with a gentle shampoo and conditioner, then towel-dry until it's about 70% dry. The remaining moisture will help the pomade spread evenly and lock in hydration, preventing your hair from becoming brittle.

If you have particularly thick or coarse hair, you might want to apply a small amount of Bevel Beard Oil to your scalp and hair before styling. This adds extra moisture and helps soften the hair, making it easier to manipulate into the desired shape.

Step 2: Apply the Pomade Correctly

Scoop out a small amount of Bevel 2-in-1 Pomade—about the size of a dime for short to medium hair, or a quarter for longer hair. Rub it between your palms to warm it up, which makes it easier to distribute. Then, apply it evenly through your hair, starting from the back and working your way to the front.

Use your fingers to work the pomade through your hair, focusing on the roots for better hold. For a messy textured look, don't overthink the application—you want some product to stay on the surface to define individual strands.

• Start with a dime-sized amount and add more if needed
• Warm the pomade between palms for even distribution
• Apply from back to front, focusing on roots

Step 3: Create the Messy Texture

Once the pomade is applied, use your fingers to tousle and shape your hair. For a messy look, you want to create separation and movement. Gently pull sections of hair upward and twist them slightly to encourage natural waves and curls. Don't worry about making it perfect—the goal is to look effortlessly styled.

If you have straight hair, you can use a blow dryer on low heat to add volume and texture. Point the dryer upward at your roots while using your fingers to lift the hair. This will give your hair more body and make it easier to achieve that bedhead effect.

Step 4: Finish and Set the Style

After you've achieved the desired texture, take a step back and assess the overall shape. Adjust any areas that look too flat or too wild. The pomade's medium hold allows you to restyle throughout the day without reapplying, so don't be afraid to run your fingers through your hair for a quick refresh.

For extra hold, you can finish with a light mist of hairspray, but it's not necessary. The pomade will keep your hair in place while still allowing natural movement. If you want a more defined messy look, you can use a small amount of Bevel 2-in-1 Pomade to twist the ends of your hair for added definition.

Tips for Maintaining the Messy Textured Look

To keep your messy textured style looking fresh all day, avoid touching your hair too much. Over-styling can flatten the texture and make it look greasy. Instead, use a pick or your fingers to gently lift the roots when you need a boost.

At the end of the day, make sure to wash out the pomade thoroughly to prevent product buildup. A gentle shampoo will do the trick. You can also incorporate Bevel Exfoliating Bar Soap into your weekly routine to keep your scalp healthy and free of buildup, which supports better hair texture.

• Avoid touching your hair excessively to prevent flattening
• Use a pick or fingers to refresh the roots
• Wash out pomade daily to prevent buildup

With these steps, you can easily achieve a messy textured look using Bevel 2-in-1 Pomade. Its medium hold and natural finish make it the perfect choice for effortless styling. Remember to start with clean hair, apply the right amount, and don't be afraid to play with your hair to get the perfect tousle.
