How to Simplify Your Hair Care Routine

Hair Type and Condition
The first step in achieving a healthy routine is understanding “your” hair type and condition. Try to select products that are designed for men and specifically for your hair type. For example, someone with curly hair should be using products that help retain moisture. Straight hair should use products that focus on volume and oil reduction. I can elaborate on this more in another post, but for now, know that your hair type has specific needs to stay healthy. Improper use of products could result in thin, brittle hair.
Stick to the Basics
Rather than using many different products, focus on using a quality shampoo and conditioner. Not all shampoos and conditioners are created equal. If you have specific styling needs, stick to ONE pomade, wax, paste, powder, or hair spray to achieve your desired look. I’ve had clients using like 6 products to achieve their look, which is outrageous. Not only is that expensive, but its time consuming, and you still have to wash all that out. Choose quality products. They may cost a little more but they’re worth it.

Get Consistent Haircuts
Regular haircuts are an essential part of any men’s haircare routine. Not only will you look good, but you’ll also feel good. Plus, your barber or stylist is like the cheat code for all the latest product news. If you’re having trouble understanding your hair, they’re the best resource. They see your hair up close and can compare it to similar hair they’ve encountered. If you want to know what questions to ask your barber, let me know.
By following these tips, you can simplify your haircare routine and still look your best. Remember, the key is to find “what works best for you and your hair type” and stick to it. Say goodbye to complicated hair care routines and hello to easy, effortless grooming.
