Whether straight or curly, short or long, men’s hair needs special care and regular maintenance in order to make it look soft and shiny. Here are some essential hair care tips all men must follow:
- Do not over wash hair: Washing the hair frequently strips the scalp off the natural oil and makes your hair drier. Limit washing your hair to twice or trice in a week and always condition it after every wash. This will keep your mane healthier.
- Be gentle with your hair: Men often tend to rub their hair vigorously with a towel after a wash. This is extremely damaging to the hair and wet hair breaks easily. One should always pat dry the hair preferably with a soft micro-fibre towel.
- Protect hair from chlorine: The chlorine in the swimming pool makes the hair dry and brittle. To reduce its harmful effects, wash the hair with clean water and apply a little conditioner before getting into the pool.
- Minimize the use of hair styling products: Using too much pomade, hair styling gel, hair styling wax and hairspray will make the hair heavier and cause build-up on the scalp. It will affect the natural quality of your hair in the long run. Reserve the use of styling products for special occasions only.
- Use a good clarifying shampoo: a clarifying shampoo will remove all excess build-up in your hair and leave it looking soft and bouncy. Using white vinegar for the last rinse also does the same by balancing the pH level of the scalp.
