Alpha’s hair is driving him nuts as he’s been growing it out. It’s too the point where it’s heavy. He likes his hair up with volume, but it’s weighted-down. The bangs are good, but the back is not doing what Alpha likes it to do. In this video men’s style, grooming, fitness and lifestyle expert, Aaron Marino of IAmAlphaM, AaronMarino, and Pete & Pedro demonstrates how he trims his own he’s using scissors and a comb.

Wash, towel dry (leave damp), and comb into place. He wants to take the bulk out of the back section so he combs the bangs out of the way. He lifts a section of hair and pinches straight up. He simply snips about a 1/4 inch off the very ends and then goes right next to it. Follow the contour of your head. That strip is done. Go behind it and repeat. Once he gets back to the longer and heavier part, he takes a little more off.

The idea is that you go all the way back with tiny and systematic trimming. Perhaps you may have to trim a bit more after styling and checking; however, taking a little off will allow you to do what you want it to do. Alpha uses Pete and Pedro Putty for his styling: versitle, matte, works for short & long hair,and perfect pre-styler. Make sure to work the product all the way down to the root.

Use the hair dryer on the medium setting to blow into place then blow against the grain for volume. Alpha continues to demonstrate. His hair is now doing what he likes it to do. He locks the style into place with a bit more of the Pete and Pedro Putty. Emulsify to activate the hair product and run back into the hair to give it more pop. The trim gave his hair life!
