Give Yourself An Egg Wash

Wash your hair in eggs once a month for the protein.

Pick Your Moment For A Haircut

If you want the undivided attention of your stylist, timing is everything. Most salons are quieter at the beginning and end of the day so it’s worth asking for the very first or last appointment. Go for the former and your stylist is likely to be at their freshest and most enthusiastic too.

Apply Shampoo To Dry Hair To Remove Wax

Fan of hair wax but struggle to get it out of your hair? The best way to deal with wax is to apply shampoo directly to dry hair and rinse, then follow this with another application of shampoo. You’ll find that this method helps to breakdown the product and leave hair clean.

Pat Dry, Don’t Rub

Men tend to think that the harder you rub our hair after washing the quicker it’ll dry. In reality, an over-zealous towel drying technique will just cause breakage – especially bad news if your hair already isn’t quite as thick as it used to be. Hair tends to be weaker when wet (and hence more prone to damage) so don’t rub too hard, instead, pat dry to avoid putting any extra stress on it.

Protect Hair When In The Pool

As any regular swimmer knows, chlorine can play havoc with hair. Chlorine chemically bonds with the proteins in the hair and causes the cuticle – the hair’s protective outer layer – to lift, which makes hair dry, brittle and dull.
To minimise its effects try wetting hair thoroughly with clean water before swimming as this dilutes the adverse effect of chlorine. Or try applying a little conditioner to it before your swim.

Look To The Kitchen Cupboard For Shiny Hair

Many of the store bought and professional shampoos, conditioners and styling products not only build up on the hair but on the scalp too. Once a month wash hair with a small amount of washing up liquid. Do this twice and let the second one sit for a minute or two. Then, after rinsing thoroughly douse the hair with household vinegar, to restore Ph balance, and rinse again. This will make the hair super shiny and freshens up the scalp, leaving it clean and healthy.

Don’t Fiddle With Greasy Hair

If you have greasy hair it’s always a good idea to avoid using hot water. However, don’t scrub and rub like mad; it only serves to further activate oil producing sebaceous glands that are already over active.

Remember, Less Is Often More

One of the biggest mistakes men make when it comes to hair styling is using too much product. A little can go a long way and if you use products sparingly you’ll find yourself sporting a more natural look while avoiding a heavy and greasy appearance.

Skip The Cold Showers

Cold rinses actually constrict the blood capillaries in the scalp.These tiny blood vessels carry nutrients and pick up waste products from the skin’s surface and need to be active for optimum effect; suddenly constricting them with cold water does your hair no good at all!
