Heads and Shoulders, Knees and Toes!- HEAD (Part 3)

Today we’ll be discussing---











It’s one area that some guys actually don’t learn much about until they start losing hair sometime in their late 20s. Then they freak out and do one of two things: one, overkill learning all they can about hair loss prevention/hair care, two get wigs or do combovers. If you happen to be one such guy, DO NOT DO THE LATTER!!!

There are many hair care tips out there, they can be found on many websites, I’ll list a few of them at the end of this post.
Meanwhile, I’ll drop a few general everyday tips.

1) PRODUCTS
It pays to know what sort of hair type you have and subsequently purchase correspondingly appropriate products i.e. oily hair, dry hair, damaged hair etc.

Most products you can get at pharmacies and supermarkets, but once in a while, do check out what your salon has to offer (but no need to get the most expensive product line available).

Don’t be afraid to use different products till you find one that suits you, buy the smaller size bottles first as this will allow you to experiment if you need to. Be sure to read the labels and know if the product suits you.


2) WASH AND CONDITION
Do wash your hair at least every second day, if you live in a humid country and tend to perspire a lot, I would suggest washing every day.

Take about a minute to wash your hair. Remember to massage your scalp and not just your hair. This is so that blood is circulated in to your hair follicles for healthier looking strands.
• For your sides, move your finger tips in light brisk forward and backward motions
• Move your thumbs circularly for the back of your scalp
• For the crown of your head, move all fingers like how a spider jumps up and down (not a very assuring image-spider on head)
• Take note of other massage moves your stylist uses when shampooing your hair, even better, ask for tips
Note: Your hair should not feel too dry and tight after your wash; if so, it may be a sign that your shampoo is too strong.
Condition your hair after washing; this is essential as washing tends to strip moisture from the hair along with all the dirt and grime. Make sure you are using an appropriate conditioner especially if you have oily hair.


3) STYLING PRODUCTS
Use the same or similar products that your stylish uses to style your hair. You should not have to use too much product on your hair; in fact you should be spending around five minutes styling your hair. If your everyday hairstyle is too fussy, change a style.

If possible, choose styling products that are mild and even moisturizing for your hair. Note: if you have dry or damaged hair, avoid alcohol based products as it will make your hair even drier.


4) SUN BURN
Like skin, hair can be damaged by too much exposure to the sun too. Wear a hat/cap if you need to be in the sun a lot.
