Daily Hair Care for men

Our hair is one of the first things people notice when they meet us. That's why it's important to invest a little time and effort in your appearance.

While many people associate the term hair care with exotic-sounding products and expensive treatments, caring for your hair can actually be a simple and inexpensive process - if you know what to do and more importantly, what NOT to do.

From washing your hair properly to using safe, science-based hair loss and thinning medication, a few simple habits will keep your hair looking fuller, healthier and more vibrant.

The following tips, techniques and habits will help you to promote hair growth while avoiding hair loss, itchy scalp, hair damage and other problems that could affect your hair health.

Wash your hair according to your hair type

Have you ever googled for an answer to the question of how often you should wash your hair? If so, you've probably stumbled across the classic guides that recommend washing every other day, twice a week or on a similar fixed schedule.

While these tips are generally fine, the best way to wash your hair is to listen to your scalp and hair needs and incorporate a daily hair wash into your routine as needed.

Not everyone has the same oily scalp and not everyone's hair is equally thick, dry or resistant. While some people have naturally straight, thin hair, others have curly, frizzy or textured hair that requires special attention. Ultimately, you need to tailor your hair care plan to your hair type. In general, however, it's better to wash more often than too rarely, because your scalp and hair should be clean!

Keep your scalp clean

Shampoo is used to remove oil, dirt and other unwanted substances that can build up on the skin and in the hair over time. It is therefore important to wash your hair thoroughly every day, especially when there is increased sebum production or physical exertion.‍

Be aware if you have oily hair

While frequent hair washing is a good thing regardless of hair type, if you have naturally oily hair that quickly looks unkempt if you don't wash it, it's better to wash your hair frequently with shampoo.

You can check the oiliness of your hair with your fingers. Run your finger over the length of your hair (without product, of course) - if it feels excessively greasy, this is usually a good indicator that it's time to wash your hair.

Use a rinse/conditioner with every wash

Contrary to popular belief, conditioner is not just an optional extra for longer hair. When you use conditioner, you improve the physical strength of your hair, protect it from damage caused by UV rays and limit the build-up of static electricity. As well as strengthening your hair, conditioner also offers aesthetic benefits. A good conditioner makes your hair smoother, shinier and gives your hair a fuller, thicker and more impressive appearance.

For best results, completely wash out the shampoo you apply to your hair and scalp and then apply your preferred conditioner to wet hair. Apply the conditioner to the ends of your hair in particular, as this is where it works best.‍

Allow the hair to air dry after washing

Drying your hair with a towel may be quick and convenient, but it can irritate your scalp and cause structural damage to your hair. Blow-drying also exposes your hair to excessive heat, which weakens it and can lead to damaged hair that breaks easily.

If you are in a hurry, it is of course okay to dry your hair with a towel. However, it is always better to let your hair dry naturally by wrapping it in a towel and then letting it air dry.

However, if you prefer to actively dry your hair, you can also gently pat it dry with a towel. If you want to use a hairdryer, set it to the lowest heat setting and keep it as far away from your scalp as possible. This will prevent heat-related damage and protect your scalp and hair follicles.
