Haircare is a topic that many men ignore. They may not realize how important it is to have healthy hair, but they should know the differences between dry and thick hair. Men with dry hair will need more products than those with thick hair in order to maintain their style over time. We are here for you with the best five hair care tips for men that can keep your hair healthy and clean.
From using shampoo properly to conditioning at least once a week, these quick fixes can make a world of difference in the appearance and feel of your hair. Let’s get started with some easy tips that can be done in minutes!
Choose the right shampoo and conditioner
Having dry hair is very different from thick hair in terms of the type of care required. If you have dry or thinning locks, we recommend using a shampoo containing moisturizing ingredients like coconut oil. These shampoos are designed to hydrate dry hair to help restore the natural oils that dry hair lacks.
If you have thick or curly hair, we recommend using shampoo without any moisturizers because they may weigh your locks down over time.
The same rule applies to conditioners, but dry hair should use a moisturizing formula to help lock in the moisture. Thick hair has natural oils for hydration, so it does not need extra care or products unless you want added shine and volume. If this is the case, we recommend using a leave-in conditioner before styling your hair because it will give you the benefits of a moisturizer without weighing down thick hair.
Brush your hair before you shower to remove any tangles or knots
For dry hair, it is crucial to start by brushing your hair before you shower in order to remove any mats or tangles. This will prevent dryness when the water hits, making even thick hair look frizzy and dry over time. Plus, this small step will help spread oils evenly throughout your locks so that they are more hydrated when you dry them.
Thick hair does not need to be brushed before showering because it is already smooth and will dry with volume. This means that there are no tangles or knots, which prevents breakage over time if thick hair has been appropriately brushed each day.
If your locks are thin but dry, then they may benefit from dry brushing to stimulate the blood flow in your scalp before you shower. This is also an excellent practice for thick hair. Still, dry hair benefits most because dry brushing helps remove dead skin cells and stimulates oil production at the root of each strand.
We recommend dry brushing about three times per week with something like this natural boar bristle brush to stimulate dry hair without causing any damage.
Don’t use too many products
Putting too many products in dry hair is a mistake most men make because they do not realize the adverse effects. A styling product like hair wax or clay may be needed if dry hair gets frizzy, but it should only be used for touch-ups and never as a daily solution. Over time, this can damage dry hair by weighing down each strand because dry hair already has a hard time holding onto moisture.
Using too much dry shampoo is another mistake that men make to combat the effects of dryness. Doing this can actually lead to even more dryness and damage over time.
We recommend using dry shampoo only once every two weeks- maybe three times per week if you have thick hair – and only on dry hair. This type of dry shampoo will absorb oil, but it also contains ingredients that can dry out locks over time.
Conditioner is another product that men often use too much of because they do not know the right amount to use. If you apply a conditioner like a leave-in, then this is a mistake that you will likely make.
When dry hair has been conditioned correctly, it should look smooth and shiny without having an overly greasy hair appearance. If thick hair looks dry, stringy, or frizzy after applying conditioner, then your amount was probably incorrect for the type of hair you have. You may need to change the hair conditioner that you use or try dry brushing before applying the conditioner to specific areas like the top of your head.
All hair types benefit from using specific hair products at the right time, so it is essential to know how different formulas work on every kind of hair.
If you have thinning hair, use a volumizing product like mousse or hair gels to give your locks some life
Hair thinning can be a problem for men who do not want to lose their locks, but this does not mean that you need to go out and get a hair transplant. Volumizing products have been proven time and again by celebrities because they add fullness back into thinning strands while making them look just as thick as ever before.
The best time to apply a volumizing product is when dry hair is towel-dried and still slightly damp. This will allow the formula of your choice to absorb into each strand more easily. Still, it also prevents thick hair from looking greasy or weighed down by too many products at once.
Using the right shampoo can also help with thinning, but this comes down to personal preference as well as whether you prefer thick or dry hair types.
Try not to wash your hair every day – this can lead to dryness and breakage
Washing every day is not recommended for dry hair types because this will dry out strands even more. It can also cause breakage over time as dry hair becomes brittle and fragile.
Thick hair types should only wash once every three days to prevent dryness, but they can still use dry shampoo between washes.
Washing your hair too often is the biggest mistake that men make when it comes to their locks. If you are unsure about how much washing each type of hair needs, ask a professional at your local salon for a quick dry cut to determine your hair type.
