Understanding your hair type

Knowing about your hair type will allow you to choose the proper grooming routine. Men’s hair types can be categorized broadly into straight, wavy, curly, and coily. Each type has unique characteristics and needs specific care.

• Straight hair is smooth and lacks natural curls. They tend to get oily quickly. It lies flat against the scalp and reflects light well. You will need to wash straight hear regularly to avoid oil build up but remember to use lightweight products.
• Wavy hair falls straight or curly with loose S-shaped strands. It has more volume but can get frizzy. However, use anti-frizz serum and avoid over-washing.
• Curly hair ranges from tight spirals to loose loops. Hydrate with curl creams and deep conditioners to avoid dryness and tangling.
• Coily hair involves zigzag patterns or tight curls. It is fragile and prone to shrinkage and breakage. Therefore frequently moisturize with oils and leave-in conditioners. Avoid excessive heat styling!

Essential hair care practices for men

Hair washing & conditioning

Keep routine simple – wash hair two to three times in a week with a suitable hair type shampoo. Over washing strips away the natural oils, leaving hair to dry and get dull. Follow up with a conditioner to lock in the moisture, especially when your hair feels rough or tangled. Massage the conditioner into the ends rather than the scalp to avoid greasiness.

Blow-drying

First use a towel to pay your hair dry. Never rub it harshly! Use a blow dryer on low or medium heat setting to avoid heat damage. Hold the dryer six to eight inches away and use a comb to style your hair. For extra volume, lift sections of hair, while drying.

How to use hair styling products

Warm small amount of wax or pomade between palms and apply it to the back of your head and move forward to avoid a greasy look. Focus on the end of hair for texture and hold. In case, you use mousse or gel damp your hair before applying to get a sleek finish or on dry hair for a more natural look.

Eat a healthy diet, stay hydrated and manage stress levels. Keep away from excessive heat styling, using harsh chemicals, and tight hairstyles. Skipping regular trim can cause split ends or breakage. Regular trims keep your hair fresh and healthy.
