Just because men have less hair, it doesn’t mean it should go uncared for. You might think it’s enough to go to the barber and get a haircut every once in a while, but the truth is your hair needs good care to make sure you’re looking your absolute best. In order to make your life easier, here are a few simple tips every man should take to have a good hair care routine: Drying your hair the right way When the hair is wet, it is prone to damage and rubbing hair with a towel can harm the outer layers of hair which leads to split ends and fizziness. Instead, you should pat dry your hair and gently stroke it in the right direction. Once the excess water has disappeared, you can use a blow dryer. To reduce the noise and avoid waking up those around you, a quiet hair dryer can be used to dry out the remaining wetness and leave your hair looking neat, sharp and shiny. Choose your hair products wisely Using natural shampoos ensure that the ingredients are all-natural and good for your hair. Other shampoos include chemicals that are very harsh on the hair, whereas natural shampoos can promote growth, strength and hair thickness. Avoid over-washing It’s ok to take a shower every few hours, no one will complain – except your hair. It is not good to wash your hair over and over again as it prevents the production of essential oils that the hair and scalp need, leaving it dry and frizzy. It is advised to wash your hair only 2-3 times per week. Use conditioner Unlike popular belief, conditioners are not just a luxury that women use to untangle hair. Conditioners should be used with shampoo to moisturize the hair, make it stronger and add a bit of shine to it. Be gentle with your hair When you come to comb your hair, use gentle strokes without yanking and pulling at it. If you’re combing after you’ve used conditioner, the hair strands will be soft and moisturized allowing the combing to be easy. But, if not, just make sure you’re gentle. Visit your barber frequently
Getting a hair trim can help keep your hair healthy and grow the right way. That’s why you should stop putting off your visit to the barber and try to make your trims once a month. This will greatly benefit your hair in the long-run. Use the right tools for your hair Using a good quality comb with a wide-tooth can ensure that you’ll get your hair all nice and neat without pulling excessively at the hair strands. If you’re unable to find a good quality comb, it is better to use your hand to style your hair rather than a low-quality comb. Looking good does not require much effort. Just changing a few habits can make sure that your hair is not only looking healthy, but also neat, tidy and attractive. It’s time to start putting that extra few touches to have amazing looking hair. This article is from Fashionably Male Everybody loves a soft, silky finish when we apply hair products. But what cost are you willing to incur in order to achieve that slippery finish? Did you know that companies add cheap, man-made plastics, aka silicones, to give your hair that fake feeling? Silicones in hair products can pose a major risk to your hair and health. Read on to figure out what ingredients you need to watch for in your hair products!
What Are Silicones? Silicone is technically a mineral, but companies produce it on the cheap to achieve slip and shine in hair care products. Modern-day silicones are man-made plastics that make hair feel hydrated when its technically just covered in a slippery coating. Silicones in hair products are typically added to avoid spending on truly hydrating ingredients. Why Are Silicones in Hair Products Bad for You? Instead of actually repairing your hair, silicones fill in the uneven texture with cheap, man-made plastic. Silicones also interfere with cell renewal, they can trap debris in your hair shaft and can block other ingredients in your expensive products from penetrating creating a barrier. As if this wasn’t bad enough, silicones in hair conditioners are notoriously difficult to remove. Even if you rinse multiple times, the most common silicone, dimethicone, is insanely heavy (compared to its size) and leaves a thick coating. How Can You Spot Bad Silicones on an Ingredients label? You don’t have to have a Ph.D. to spot these devil compounds in your product labels. Look for words that end with this: -cones, -conols, -silanes, and -siloxanes. You need to be extra suspicious when buying hydrating shampoos and conditioners, leave-in and mask treatments as well as hair oils and styling creams. The above mentioned product categories typically run the highest risk for silicon additives.

Spoiler alert: EVERYONES hair lifts warm, and here’s why: Every natural hair color has an “underlying pigment”. So that’s why if you have black hair, and want white hair, your hair literally will be red, copper, orange and yellow before it is that bright platinum blonde that you want. Depending on where you are on the left side, sometimes your hair goes through all those stages in one session and your goal can be met. Or sometimes your hair is super resistant and getting it past orange or yellow is REALLY hard and it takes multiple sessions to get where you want to be. The more you lighten hair, the more porous your hair becomes, so sometimes, at the yellow stage your hair is so weak that it can’t withstand any more lightening. Everyones hair texture and makeup is a little bit different, so the steps it will take to get to the goal will vary. But what doesn’t change is the underlying pigment.
My point is this: sometimes, no matter HOW much lightener we use, and how long we leave it on for, sometimes science and genetics win! From the Instagram of the.blonde.chronicles Developed in India over 3,000 years ago, Ayurvedic medicine or Ayurveda for short, is one of the world's oldest holistic i.e. whole-body, healing systems. The foundation of Ayurveda is that health and wellness depend on the intricate balance between the spirit, mind, and body and its principal objective is to promote good health, not to fight disease. Ayurvedic medicine gives us a lot of great options for hair. Henna is perhaps the most well-known ayurvedic herb used in haircare but there are many others including amla, brahmin and turmeric — the benefits of which we will take a closer look at below. What Is Turmeric? As spices go, turmeric is one of the most important spices in Indian dishes. It is also one of the most studied herbs in science. Scientifically called Curcuma longa, turmeric is a root in the same plant family as ginger. The dried root of the turmeric plant is ground to produce the distinctive yellow turmeric powder. The Benefits of Turmeric for Hair The benefits of turmeric for hair come down to two things:
Turmeric’s ability to combat hair loss comes from curcumin, a natural compound that has been and continues to be widely studied. Curcumin is believed to be effective in halting to the overproduction of dihydrotestosterone most commonly known as DHT. DHT is a hormone responsible for hair loss in men and women by restricting hair growth from the follicles. Turmeric’s ability to create a healthy environment for hair growth stems from its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. Hair thrives when the scalp is healthy, and turmeric can help you achieve a healthy scalp by combating dandruff and dry, itchy scalp conditions. As Ayurveda expert Shadoh Punnapuzha says, “The antiseptic and anti-inflammatory qualities that it contains can help soothe the scalp and get rid of dandruff,” How to Use Turmeric You may choose to use turmeric topically or add the spice to your meals, smoothies, and teas. Mix equal parts turmeric and olive oil to eliminate dandruff and improve scalp health. Apply the mixture to your scalp and leave on for about 30 minutes. Cleanse and condition and style hair afterwards as normal. Light hair may be stained by turmeric but that should fade during the washing and conditioning process. Turmeric Tea 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric 4 cups of water 1 teaspoon of raw honey or fresh lemon juice or grated ginger Turn on the stove and bring the water to a boil. Put the turmeric into the boiling water and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Take mixture off the heat and strain the liquid. Add honey or lemon juice or grated ginger before consumption. Turmeric Smoothie For the smoothie 1 large ripe banana, peeled and sliced 1 cup of fresh pineapple ½ tablespoon peeled fresh ginger ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric ½ cup carrot juice (see below) 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 cup of almond milk, unsweetened For the carrot juice 2 cups of carrots 1 ½ cups of filtered water Make the carrot juice by adding carrots and the filtered water to a high-speed blender. Keep blending until you get a pureed and smooth mixture. Add more water if required. Strain and set aside the pulp for smoothies or baked goods. Transfer the carrot juice to a mason jar. Add the smoothie ingredients to the blender and blend until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Add more carrot juice or almond milk if required. Scrape down the seeds as and when needed. Taste and adjust the flavors as required. You can be creative with the use of turmeric in your meal preparations. So if you haven’t yet, why not give it a try?
