Hair care may be overlooked by many men who seem to be blessed genetically, or so we might think. Truth be told, those whose hair appears the healthiest likely go out of their way to take care of their hair on purpose.
Here are more tips for doing the same. Today’s focus is on dry hair and general tips.
- Avoid Heat Styling: Heat styling tools like hair dryers, flat irons, and curling irons can be very damaging to your hair, as they can cause it to become dry, brittle, and prone to breakage. If you must use heat styling tools, be sure to use a heat protectant spray and keep the heat setting as low as possible.
- Protect Your Hair from the Sun: The sun can also be damaging to your hair, as it can cause it to become dry and brittle. To protect your hair from the sun, wear a hat or use a leave-in conditioner with SPF when you are outside for extended periods of time.
- Eat a Balanced Diet: What you eat can also have an impact on the health of your hair. Eating a balanced diet that is rich in vitamins and minerals can help to keep your hair strong and healthy. Foods like salmon, eggs, nuts, and leafy greens are all great for promoting healthy hair.
- Avoid Tight Hairstyles: Tight hairstyles like ponytails, braids, and cornrows can cause tension on your hair, which can lead to breakage and hair loss. If you must wear your hair in a tight style, be sure to give your hair a break every once in a while to prevent damage.
- Massage Your Scalp: Massaging your scalp can help to improve blood flow to your hair follicles, which can promote healthy hair growth. Use your fingertips to massage your scalp for a few minutes each day, focusing on areas where you may have thinning hair. You can even turn to technology, as there are several low-tech and high-tech products on the market.
- Get Regular Haircuts: Regular haircuts can help to prevent split ends and breakage, as well as keep your hair looking neat and tidy. Aim to get a haircut about every 6-8 weeks.
- Avoid Chemical Treatments: Chemical treatments like hair dye, perms, and relaxers can be very damaging to your hair, as they can strip it of its natural oils and cause it to become dry and brittle. If you must use these treatments, be sure to take extra care to moisturize and protect your hair.
- Bonus tip: Use high-quality hair products. This doesn’t mean breaking the bank, but finding ones in your price range that work well for you. Quality hair products usually have a higher concentration of quality ingredients, thus saving money in the long run. Cheaper is rarely better, so saving a few bucks now may cost much more later.
