Listen, we’re not saying your hair makes or breaks your chances with women. Actually, wait… yes. That’s exactly what we’re saying.
No matter how fresh your kicks are, if your hair looks like you just rolled out of a nap, she's not leaning in. She's leaning away.
So what do women notice first about your hair? Let’s break it down.
1. Your hairline: the silent communicator of your life choices
Here’s the hard truth: when your hairline starts to thin or creep back, women notice.
It can throw off your entire appearance, making you appear older, yout face look longer, and your features less defined.
But here’s the good news: you can absolutely take control. Start by embracing a style that works with your hairline, not against it. A textured crop or skin fade can minimize the appearance of recession and add structure.
Cleaning up your edges is non-negotiable. Keep your cuts regular so your hairline looks intentional, not accidental. A sharp hairline doesn’t just clean up your look—it takes years off your face.
2. Volume and shape: flat hair = flat vibes
The dreaded lifeless mop. It just sits there. Hair without volume or shape makes you look tired, uninterested, or like you just rolled out of bed and hoped for the best.
Women want to see shape, structure, and a little intention. Here’s how to fix it with Forte Series Texture Powder:
Start with dry hair. (Yes, fully dry. Damp hair is a no-go.)
Shake the bottle and dust a small amount directly at the roots, especially in the crown area or anywhere that tends to fall flat.
Use your fingers to lift and tousle the hair while the powder sets. You’ll feel the volume kick in fast.
Need more hold or height? Add a bit more powder in layers. Don’t dump half the bottle all at once.
Shape it into place. Pinch and twist for texture, or smooth the sides if you’re going for clean and structured.
Boom—your hair now has character, lift, and presence.
3. Shine (or the right kind of shine)
There’s a big difference between “healthy glow” and “I use fryer grease as hair gel.” Women notice shine, but they can tell if it’s from hydration and care—or just oil buildup.
To keep your hair in the good-shine category, wash it two to three times per week using a sulfate-free shampoo. On off days, use dry shampoo or texture powder to keep things looking clean and matte.
Your goal isn’t greasy or bone-dry—it’s that clean, natural middle ground that looks like you take care of yourself without trying too hard.
4. Texture matters more than you think
If your hair looks like a helmet, you’re doing it wrong. Women love a little texture—it’s touchable, effortless, and says you know what you're doing (even if you don’t).
Here’s how to nail that “intentionally tousled” texture with the Forte Styling Cream:
Start with towel-dried hair. Not sopping wet, but not bone-dry.
Scoop a dime-sized amount of the styling cream. (Yes, just a dime. Not a ladle.)
Rub it between your palms until it emulsifies. You want it evenly spread and warmed up for easy application.
Work it through your hair from back to front, roots to tips. Focus on the mid-lengths if you want that messy, piecey definition.
Blow-dry while scrunching, lifting, or using your fingers as a comb. If your hair needs more volume, use a diffuser attachment.
Once dry, do a quick finger-tousle. Shape, pinch, twist.Focus on the mid-lengths for that piecey, lived-in feel.
You want to land somewhere between “styled on purpose” and “woke up like this (but in a good way).”
5. The Invisible Deal-Breaker
Here’s a curveball—your hair doesn’t just need to look good. It needs to smell good too. This isn’t about drowning yourself in cologne. It’s about subtle fragrance that leaves a clean, intriguing impression if she gets close.
How to nail it: Use a subtle-scented product—don’t blast her with a cologne grenade. Forte’s argan oil delivers a light fragrance with zero Axe body spray trauma.
Confidence is the best product
The truth is, you can have perfect hair and still miss the mark if your energy is off. Confidence sells the look. Whether your hair is full, thinning, curly, straight, or somewhere in between, the key is owning it.
