Basics of hair care for men

Many men underestimate hair care. It only takes a few simple stepsto make your hair look better and be healthier. Here are the basics that every man should know.

How often to wash your hair?

It depends on your hair type and lifestyle:

• Oily hair: Daily or every other day
• Normal hair: 2-3x a week
• Dry hair: 1-2x a week

Too frequent washing can paradoxically increase the production of sebum.

Choosing the right shampoo

Invest in a good sulfate-free shampoo. Sulfates foam well, but they dry out hair and skin.

According to hair type

• Oily: Shampoo for frequent washing, mattifying
• Dry: Hydrating shampoo
• Gentle: Volume shampoo
• Normal: Balanced shampoo

Conditioner – yes or no?

Yes! Conditioner is not just for women. Nourishes hair, facilitates detangling and protects against damage. Apply it only to the lengths, not the roots.

Correct washing technique

1. Wet the hair with lukewarm water
2. Lather the shampoo in the palms
3. Massage the scalp (not the hair) with the tips of the fingers
4. Rinse thoroughly
5. Apply the conditioner to the lengths
6. Rinse with cold water for shine

Drying the hair

Ideally let the hair dry naturally. If you use a hair dryer:

• Do not use the highest temperature
• Hold the hair dryer at least 15 cm from the hair
• Blow in the direction of hair growth

Regular trimming

Even if you want to let your hair grow, regular trimming of the ends is essential for a healthy look. We recommend a visit every 4-6 weeks.
