#HealthBytes: 7 hair care tips for men
What's the story
A lot of men tend to take their hair health for granted. Hair-care is a widely ignored aspect of men's grooming. However, it's not a wise habit. Not paying attention to your hair health will lead to roughness and hair fall, which are obviously quite undesirable. Here are 7 hair care tips for men to score stronger and healthier hair.
Tips #1,2
Use a natural shampoo; Start using a conditioner
Shampoo: Picking up the first shampoo bottle that comes to sight, while strolling in the mall won't do. Look out for good-quality, natural shampoos containing ingredients such as wheat-protein, amino acids, and essential vitamins. Conditioner: Unfortunately, shampoo alone won't do much good. A little extra effort, in the form of a conditioner, helps wash away oil and grime, and provides moisture to hair.
Tips #3,4
Avoid over-washing; Stay away from heat damage
Avoid over-washing: Using the shampoo every time you take a shower? Not a great idea. Over-washing dries out your hair, by depleting the natural oils from the scalp, which will further hinder healthy hair growth. Stay away from heat damage: Cut down or better off, eliminate the use of hair dryers for drying or styling, as the heat can eventually weaken your hair.
Tips #5,6
See your barber more often; Be gentle with your hair
Regularly visit your barber: Stop delaying that impending trip to the barber. It is advisable to get a haircut every 2-3 weeks (subject to your hair length) to maintain good hair health. Go gentle: Defy man stereotypes, and go gentle on your hair. Rub the towel gently, and comb slowly. Doing these acts hastily and powerfully are rather harmful for your hair.
