A QUICK LIST OF HEALTHY HAIR CARE TIPS FOR MEN

April 21, 2023

For most blokes, worrying about good hair care is not usually at the top of their priority list. Only when an issue like dandruff, itch or hair loss arises do we start to pay attention. Doesn’t matter if you’re young or old, there are a few key things to keep in mind if you want to maintain a healthy head of hair. So today, we'll share a quick list of tips to help you keep your hair in tip top shape.

Understanding your scalp type and using appropriate products:

Understanding your scalp type is crucial when it comes to purchasing hair care products.

A man's scalp can be dry, oily, sensitive, or a combination of these. We highly recommend using shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for your scalp type. This helps to level out any imbalances and prevent scalp issues from occurring. For products that will help you maintain a healthy scalp and promote healthier hair growth, talk to the team here at Barber Industries Westfield Kotara.


Don't go berserk when it comes to your shampoo:

Contrary to popular belief, 2-3 times a week is suffice for the use of most shampoos.

Most blokes assume that the more you shampoo your hair the healthier it becomes, this however is not the case and it can actually prove to be quite detrimental. The overuse of dry shampoo or oily hair shampoo will often produce effects opposite to their intended purpose. For instance, overusing oily shampoo can cause the scalp to dry out, leading to an increase in the natural production of sebum, which only worsens the original issue of an oily scalp.


Go easy on the styling products:

Hair styling products can be amazing, but too much of anything is no good for a bloke.

When you over load on the styling aids, they can build-up and bog down your style. Be sure to limit the amount to what’s needed to achieve your desired style and stick to high-quality brands such as Uppercut Deluxe and American Crew, names you can trust and rely on.
