Hair plays the most important role in enhancing the overall look for men. While men are using more and more products to style their hair, most forget to follow a proper hair care routine that nourishes and strengthens their hair from within.

 

To help men keep a full head of luscious hair, Lordhair has come up with this comprehensive hair care routine. Below are the hair care tips and ideas that every man should consider to keep his hair strong, smooth and shiny.

 

Dry your hair the right way

 

Most men dry their wet hair aggressively with a towel without realizing how much damage this causes to the outer layer of the hair and cuticles. Drying your hair with brute force can cause hair strands to break which is why you see hair on your towel.

 

 

Pat drying your wet hair after shaking out the excess water will help you avoid the problem of weakening your hair. Trichologists actually say that letting your hair dry naturally will help you avoid hair fall problems. While natural drying can be a bit slow, it will greatly help if your hair is already weak.

 

 

Stop over-washing your hair

 

Our next hair care tip is to avoid washing your hair too frequently. Just because you have short hair doesn’t mean that it is okay to wash it every time you step into the shower. Shampooing your hair on a daily basis can make your scalp dry and itchy and weaken hair from the roots.

 

Washing your hair two times a week is enough to get rid of the dirt, dead skin, and excessive oils. This will not only let your hair grow thick but also help in making them strong and smooth.

 

 

Right shampoo and conditioner

 

Men often choose their shampoo and conditioner on a random basis. Very few of us bother to learn what kind of shampoo and conditioner is most suitable for our scalp and hair. That’s why our next tip for daily hair care routine is to choose the right medicated shampoo and conditioner for you.

 

 

While men with oily and greasy scalps should buy dry shampoos and conditioners, men with dry scalps should opt for moisturizing hair wash products. Lordhair recommends consulting a trichologist to learn more about your hair and skin type.

 

Switch to a healthy diet

 

A healthy diet is the most essential part of a healthy hair care routine. Eat foods rich in vitamins and nutrients since they help in boosting hair growth and keep your scalp healthy as well.

 

Foods rich in vitamins A, B and D help your skin glands create sebum, an oily substance that moisturizes the scalp and keeps hair healthy. Nutrients such as proteins, iron and zinc help to boost hair growth and repair damaged hair tissues.  

 

Turn down the heat!

 

Hairdryers and straighteners have become part of the modern man’s hair care routine but their use has to be moderated. The heat from hair dryers can weaken the hair strands which later results in hair loss. Using extreme heat causes the water under the cuticles (the outermost layer of the hair) to form bubbles that stress and break the hair.

 

 

Instead of abusing hairstyling products, Lordhair recommends using them in moderation and using natural products like coconut oil as nourishment to retain their hair strength.

 

 

Say no to tight headgear

 

It’s a myth that wearing caps triggers hair loss but wearing super-tight caps hats can trigger hair problems which eventually lead to hair fall in men. Traction alopecia is one such hair loss problem.

 

Traction alopecia is prompted by repetitive pulling of strands which is the reason why you find hair strands stuck to the hat. If you love hats and are experiencing hair loss, we recommend wearing less and opting for loose ones instead!

Reduce stress

 

Your daily hair care routine won’t be helped if you are stuck in a stressful job or relationship. Stress triggers chronic hair loss far more than we realize. Telogen effluvium, trichotillomania, and alopecia areata are a few hair problems triggered by stress.  

 

 

To drive stress out of your life, try relaxation techniques such as meditation and autogenic training. Here’s a pro tip: make sure you get 8 to 9 hours of sleep as that will also help in your fight against stress!

 

 

Say no to alcohol and smoking

 

A lot of men consume alcohol and smoke on a daily basis but they are usually unaware of their negative impact on hair. Excessive alcohol consumption can wreak havoc not only on your hair but also your health.

 

Smoking cigarettes, on the other hand, transmits toxins to your body which damage hair follicles and hormones. That is why it is important to cut back on these harmful products in order to maintain a healthy hair care routine.

Get your hair trimmed regularly

 

Guys, ladies do it for a reason and it’s time we learned from them! Getting a haircut once every 3 weeks checks split ends and stimulates hair growth. Getting your hair trimmed regularly also prevents split ends from traveling further up the hair shaft which can result in flyaways, frizz, and brittleness.

 

 

Make regular trips to your stylist or barber part of your hair care routine!
