Grooming tips for Men & Women

Grooming tips for a better hair care routine

It’s not a department for women only.  Men also need proper grooming and your hair is one of the primary parts that requires maintenance.  The  hair care routine for both is quite similar with some variations. Often men use the same routine 365 days a year.  A little more attention can go a long way.  Here are some important hair-grooming tips you may love to have.  Regular grooming will make your styles last longer and will look even better.

Be gentle with your hair

Do not rub your wet hair too hard.  Be gentle and prefer patting it with  a soft towel.  This is the basic hair grooming lesson for every man.  When the hair is wet, it is in its most delicate condition, so be aware and take care.

Never try to comb-over - (specific for men)

It is a general norm to comb-over (from one side of the head to the other)  for thinning hair in men.  It is a wrong way,  instead,  it is better to have a haircut that ideally suits your look in thinning hair.  (In a few weeks of  following  the '21 days new hair roots'  program you can get better coverage with new hair roots).

Less the chemicals the better

Minimize the application of different products on your hair.  Too many chemicals will eventually make your hair look dull and your hair will lose its natural shine.  It will become rough, dry and brittle.  So, try to stay natural with your hair.  Minimize  hair coloring, totally avoid straightening, cystine, rebonding etc etc.  (just different names to first entice and then take you further away from naturally beautiful and healthy hair.)  Dry-shampoos, spray-on temporary hair colors - all spell disaster for your hair strength.  Look around carefully and you will observe in some cases how too many chemicals  have damaged the hair to such  an extent that it  has become irreversible.  It is becoming increasingly common to see women who have scanty hair specially  in the front half of the head. 

On  following the '21 days new hair roots' program completely even for 6-8 weeks and abstaining completely from detrimental treatments you will find a very healthy change and encouraging progress. 

Refrain from using too much heat

Avoid using a hair dryer to dry your hair as far as possible.  Drying your hair naturally is the best for your hair.  Even if you are using a dryer then keep it at a low heat setting. Your hair will become frizzy, dry and brittle if too much heat is applied.  The same logic applies for the hair straighteners.  As heat is not good for your hair,  shower with luke warm water,  avoid hot water.

Trimming is useful

Trimming is ideal for hair grooming.  It keeps your hair tidy and neat.  Trimming the hair once every 30-45 days is ideal for men and in 60-90 days for women. 

Do not use wrong tools for your hair

Using the right tools for your hair is essential as your hair is delicate.  Use a good quality comb with medium-spaced teeth (for men) and wide-spaced teeth (for women) only to remove tangles.  It is better to use your fingers rather than low-quality combs).

A good quality brush is invaluable for  a once a day brushing,  to spread the natural oils from roots onto the strands. 

If your hair is being pulled or strained in any procedure then the implement or the technique needs to be corrected.

Keep your hair away from chlorine

Chlorine can be very bad for your hair. So before plunging into a chlorine-treated swimming pool,  make sure to wet your hair with normal water and apply some conditioner.  It is even better to use a swimming cap as well. This will protect your hair from the chlorine.

Nothing can replace the beauty of naturally beautiful hair!  So value it and take care before it is too late!
