5 Basic Hair Care Tips for Guys

When it comes to looking good and feeling confident, one of the most popular things anyone can do is get their hair looking its best. After all, healthy shiny hair can be achieved by both men and women, regardless of hair type. In spite of that, most men are still considered a bit behind in hair management than their counterparts.

Start with these 5 basic tips on how guys can take care of their hair.

1. Wash Your Hair Right
   Over shampooing and using harsh shampoos can strip away beneficial natural oils, leading to a dry scalp and rough strands. Use gentle products that are sulfate free and have natural ingredients to help protect those oils that hydrate your hair and wash your hair 3-4 times a week.
2. Dry Your Hair With Care
   Use a clean towel and dry your hair with care. Do not rub the towel on your head, but instead pat it gently to remove excess water. This will help prevent damage to your hair while still getting rid of wetness. 
3. Don’t Over-do the Hair Products
   Gels, pomades, and waxes are helpful when styling your hair. But too often, men apply way more than they need. Start with a pea-sized amount and only as needed.
4. Moisturize
   Keeping hair hydrated is essential, whether you have long hair or coarse textured hair. Conditioners are important after shampooing as it restores moisture. Lightweight hair oils lock the moisture without greasing up your hair and causing build-up on the scalp.
5. Get Regular Trims  
A clean cut will make always make you look fresh. Depending on the style you want to maintain, you may need to see your barber or stylist for a needed trim every 3-6 weeks.
