Healthy Hair Tips for Men
Guys, we know you're too many to take care of
your hair. But deep down, we also know you don't want to lose it. You come from
the proud (or not so proud) tradition of Samson, and deep down you tie some
level of manliness to your hair. Right? Right. So here are the most important
things you should know about keeping your hair healthy for many years to come.
If you use a towel to dry your hair,
pat it dry - don't rub it. Some guys just shake their hair off and call it
good, but if you're whisking away the water, do it gently. Rubbing your hair
while it's wet can damage the hair cuticle and cause split ends, so be gentle
with it until it dries.
Don't take super hot showers. The heat
strips your hair (and your skin, for that matter) of essential oils, and it
will lead to dryness and dullness. Not attractive.
Guys, don't bleach or perm your hair
all the time. Chemical treatments aren't healthy (and frankly, they just aren't
that good-looking when you do it yourself anyway.) If you really want to color
or perm your hair, talk to a professional stylist who will know the healthiest
way to get you the look you want.
Use a good shampoo and conditioner.
Your hair will be shinier, softer, and less likely to break.
When your hair is wet, don't yank a
brush through it. Use a wide-toothed comb to gently work out the tangles and
arrange your hair the way you want it to dry.
Be healthy. Exercise, drink a lot of
water, eat healthy food, sleep, reduce stress, and do whatever else you need to
do to stay healthy. Your hair will follow suit and be healthier because of it.
Stress can even cause hair loss in certain circumstances, and you know you'd
like to keep your hair as long as it will stick around.
Tight hats and pony tails can cause a
condition called "traction alopecia." It can pull the hair out of the
scalp and can permanently damage the hair follicles if worn long
enough.
Keep your hair trimmed. We know you
want to be Fabio, but cutting off the damaged ends of your hair will stimulate
growth and keep your hair looking smooth and healthy. If you want long hair,
ask your barber to cut off the damaged portion of your hair every six weeks or
so.
You and your hair have always gotten along well
with each other. Stay together for many years to come.
