7 GROSS MISTAKES IN MEN’S HAIR CARE

You take care of your hair: wash it regularly, choose the necessary care products, go to barbershop or visit a hairdresser, but still notice that your hair does not look the way it should? So there is something wrong with hair care. The specialists of the TsirulniKBarbershop network have collected the main mistakes in hair care in an article.

“Hot” hair washing

Washing your head with hot water leads to deterioration of the scalp and hair follicles. Hot water dries the epidermis of the head, makes hair roots weak and leads to dysregulation of the sebaceous glands. As a result, the hair will be dry, brittle, and the roots will look constantly dirty and with dandruff. Do not rush to wash your hair with cold water, as it does not wash your hair properly. The optimal water temperature for washing hair is considered to be between 40 and 50°C.

Application of 2 in 1 care products

Shampoo should always be followed by conditioner or balm. Modern cosmetologists advise men not to spend a lot of time washing their hair with individual components, but simply to use a double care combination.

Since shampoos open hair scales in order to wash off all the dirt from the roots, then the conditioners, on the contrary, glue them together. Hair balm has a similar effect, but contains nutritional components that penetrate the hair shaft.

Incorrect hair drying

In addition to washing your hair correctly, you should also learn how to dry your hair correctly. Most men start intensively drying their hair with a towel. This is not correct, because the hair breaks and becomes thin and discolored due to friction. The hair must be carefully wet with water, then dried slightly with a hair dryer and left to dry.

The habit of going to bed with a wet head

Even if you go to bed, you should still dry your hair! Let’s figure out what will happen if you go to bed with a wet head:

1. Hair becomes brittle and severely damaged;
2. Hair begins to fall out due to wet hair rubbing against the pillow;
3. It is unhygienic to go to bed with wet and uncombed hair, as moisture is the best habitat for microorganisms;

Haircut regardless of hair type

Everyone a hair professional knows that a hairstyle depends on the type and structure of the hair. If you are the owner of a thin and straight structure, then a careless styling, an undercut or a short quiff will suit you better. And the most important thing is to add volume to the hairstyle and avoid the “licking” effect.

A quiff will look great on straight and thick hair pompadour, hairstyle with side parting and crop. In turn, wavy hair requires a more careful approach, as it is difficult to style. You can make yourself a classic or any haircut with volume on the crown and shaved temples and back of the head.

And here is the curly structure hair will not look good with a side part or combed back, do not give up. There is an option to bypass this situation according to the “no hair – no problem” scheme or to make a curtain. It is difficult to approach small curls or afro curls, here there will be an option – a haircut under a machine or an ultra-short Caesar.

Wrong brushing hair

Each type of hair requires special attention, including the choice of combs. It is also important to consider the material and its structure when choosing a comb. For example, oval-shaped massage combs will be able to cope with all types of hair, except for small curls – it is better to choose a “sponge” for them. Skeletal combs and round bangs are suitable for all hairstyles. The best combs are made of quality plastic and wood.

Using the wrong styling

If you choose a styling tool, you should focus not only on the structure of the hair, but also on the tendency to dryness or oiliness. If you choose lipstick, you’ll get a heaviness on your fine hair, followed by an unwashed head if you’re so inclined. It is better to choose a water-based paste that will give lightness to the hair.

If you are the owner of thick and curly hair, then you need reliable fixation , which is provided by “Superglue” lipstick. Another tool to consider is “Booster” clay.
