Men do care about their hair! In fact, today more than ever men are paying special attention to their hair. Whether it is in the process of finding quality hair care products or working to find ways to prevent hair loss, most men are interested in grooming their hair to ensure they look good all of the time. And, they should. There is no doubt that your hair is one of the first things people notice about you. In addition to this, men may be able to slow hair loss by simply paying attention to their hair now. So, what are you waiting for? Check out a few tips to help you manage your hair needs.
How Often Should You Shampoo?
It is not necessary for men or women to shampoo their hair daily. In fact, doing so can strip the hair of its natural oils and leave it dry and brittle. For men, it is often best to wash your hair whenever it is dirty or sweaty after a workout at the gym. It is best to wash hair every other day or 3 to 4 times per week.
Do Guys Need to Use Conditioner?
This is a good question to ask your stylist especially if you are having trouble with your hair. Generally, the right conditioner can help hair to feel softer. It can also help those who have thick hair to see significant improvement in their ability to manage their hair. Apply conditioner after you shampoo your hair, leave in for 1 to 3 minutes then rinse well. In addition, if you have fine hair and do not use a lot of product on it, you may not need a separate conditioner.
What Types of Hair Care Products Do Men Need?
Men can use any type of hair care product they believe to be necessary or desirable for their hairstyle. There's no reason not to do so in fact! Here are some to consider:
- Waxes/Pastes/Pomades: Use these when you have very thick hair and you want more ability to tame your hair. Be sure to wash the product out of your hair at night and do not use it if you have fine hair.
- Creams: This type of product can be very helpful for men with longer hair who struggle with flyaway. It is an excellent solution when you want more control and shine in your hair. However, this product is a very good option for men who do not want to look like they have a lot of product in their hair.
- Hair sprays: Of course you need this! As a finishing product, hair spray helps to keep the hair in place. It is best to use it on fine hair only as a light touch. Many of these products now contain sunscreen. This can be particularly beneficial to men who want a great look and good protection.
What Can Men Do To Prevent Hair Loss?
As a man, one of your main concerns may be finding a way to reduce the risk of hair loss or at least to minimize it. The good news is that there are solutions. First, speak with a hair specialist about the options. Get information about products that can help you both as topical treatments and options for hair restoration. In addition, you may gain significant improvement by simply making a few changes to your lifestyle. Reduce stress, eat a hair-healthy diet that is rich in vibrantly-colored vegetables, and reduce smoking. By doing these things, you'll give your hair and your body the nutrients necessary to keep producing healthy hair. If you are losing hair, act quickly. If you have not done so yet, be sure to act now since prevention can be much easier to manage than hair loss.
Visit your stylist every four or six weeks or more often to get trimmed and tamed. You'll love just how many options are available in color, style, and even texture.
