Men can look just as fabulous and well kept as women do if they have a few helpful hair growing tips in their back pocket. Gone are the days when guys can simply comb their hair to the side and forget about it for the rest of the day. However, that does not mean you have to spend a great deal of time and effort on grooming products or methods either. How can men look good and not have to spend a lot of time at the salon or in front of a mirror? These grooming tips for men are the best place to start.

Start with the Right Hairstyle

The first thing for men to do is to choose a hairstyle that fits their face shape and their style. Let's be realistic right from the start. You need to choose the type of hairstyle that you can keep up with on a daily basis. If you do not want to commit much time to grooming, then you are better suited to choosing a look that is more simplistic and takes minutes to create. Work with your hairstylist to find the perfect blend of looks and features for your unique needs.

Color Your Hair

You don't have to grey naturally. Men can and should use hair color to create the look they desire. You can do this at any age, too, not just when you are older. Consider changing your color completely or investing in a few highlights. These can give your look more pop and something interesting. At the same time, it can also help you to feel younger and more youthful. You do not have to let your color go any more. Talk to your stylist about the various options you have for adding color to your hair.

Use the Right Products

Let's break this down a bit further for you. There are many hair products on the market that can help you to create the look and feel you desire in your hair. However, you need to use the right products for the right outcome. Here are some tips to help you:

  • Pomades are one of the best options when you have a shorter cut and want a textured, sleek look.
  • Use waxes in your hair when you want to add a bit of shine and to offer some lightweight control to your shorter hairstyle.
  • Muds work well for those who want their hair more messy looking; and they are perfect for use with a longer hairstyle.
  • Use creams for more control. They work very well to minimize frizz (perfect for humid situations) and flyaways when you want a very styled and professional look.
  • Go with gels when the only thing that really matters is a strong hold; it can also work very well when you want your hair to look wet
  • Hairsprays are still important and they can provide you with ample control and overall volume improvement.

Think About Head Care

Not only do you need to invest time in creating a look that really looks fantastic, but you also have to think about improving the overall health of your hair and scalp.

  • Use organic products whenever possible since chemicals can dry out the scalp and lead to damage.
  • Invest in a high-quality shampoo. This is where you want to invest a bit more money since it can provide you with some of the best overall results.
  • Choose to add conditioner to your hair even if you have never done so before. It's worth it.
  • Use sunscreen especially if your hair is thin.
  • If you are losing hair, take action now. There are many products and methods to slow hair loss and even to improve the loss you've had.

The most important thing for men to remember is that they can and should care about hair grooming. Even if you know nothing about it at this point, you can work with your skilled stylist to create a look that fits you. That same stylist can help you to learn how to care for your hair and look fabulous while doing so. Looking for more grooming tips or a new hairstyle?
