Texture Trends for Men 2011
Regardless of the age or attitude of the men in your chair, most will want texture for spring, because it’s versatile, and it suits the new, longer lengths.

Enhance Texture by Mixing Products, Cocktailing
Mixing products, or cocktailing, to get just the right results, is the best way to enhance your clients’ hair texture—and the opportunity to increase retail sales. Any curly girl or stylist who regularly works with texture will say they are makeshift chemists, creating their own product concoctions in search of the perfect solution for texture.
