The health of your hair may not be something you think about regularly, but the quality you’ve got now may not always be the same if you don’t have a proper hair care routine in place. Men’s hair health is influenced by many factors, some of them genetic, but the care and attention you give to your hair will also have an impact on its health and longevity.
Experts suggest that about 50% of people are 50% grey by the age of 50, and many men also experience hair loss and baldness, some of which may be controllable with a little better haircare. Here we’re exploring how to look after your hair properly and keep it in good health.
A Good Hair Care Routine
A good hair care routine doesn’t mean drenching your hair in products every day or taking huge volumes of supplements and vitamins. There is a lot to be said about simplicity in caring for your hair and a good routine will have just three simple steps:
- Washing
- Conditioning
- Styling
Obviously, you can make each of these steps are complicated as you like if you feel that’s necessary, but in reality, if each of these steps is maintained and carried out well, your hair should remain on top form. These simple tips can also boost your hair’s health.
#1 Clean Scalp, Clean Hair
Keeping your scalp clean and cared for ensures it’s healthy and does not become a problem for the rest of your hair. If you do not regularly clean your scalp this can result in imbalance in the microbiomes and this can result in inflammation and soreness, potentially damaging your hair follicles. Washing your hair regularly, but not too often, will ensure your scalp is looked after.
#2 Choose Products Wisely
You do not necessarily need 500 different products to keep your hair looking its best but the ones you do use should be of the best quality you can manage and designed for your hair type. Knowing your hair type can help you to decide on the best products from waxes to hair powder and even the correct shampoos and conditioners.
#3 Consistency is Key
The key difference between looking great and looking messy is consistency in your routine. A consistent approach to grooming will keep you looking your best and this means considering the hair beyond your head, as male hair grows everywhere from the back to the shoulders and even in the ears, and keeping check on all hair growth helps to ensure a groomed look. Similarly, once you get into a good washing, conditioning, and styling routine, keep it up.
