MEN’S HAIR CARE: HOW HEALTHY HAIR STARTS WITH A HEALTHY SCALP
April 19, 2023
A lot of times, we focus so much on the hair strands that we forget to talk about the scalp beneath. However, having a healthy scalp is actually the key to having healthy hair. A lot of hair problems such as hair loss, dandruff, and itchiness can be attributed to an unhealthy scalp. In this article, we’ll discuss the different types of scalps and how men can look after them properly. By understanding what type of scalp you have and taking care of it, you’ll be on your way to maintaining a healthier head of hair.
It’s important to first understand what type of scalp you have:
There are three typical types – oily, dry or balanced.
Oily scalps produce excess sebum which can make the hair look and feel greasy. Dry scalps produce low amounts of sebum. Both oily and dry types can lead to dandruff, itch and discomfort. A balanced scalp has the right amount of sebum production and is the easiest scalp type to maintain.
Scalp sensitivity can be experienced by men with any scalp type and this means the scalp is prone to irritation, itching and requires careful maintenance.
Now that you can assume your scalp type, it’s important to care for it properly:
Start with the purchase of a shampoo that is formulated specifically for your scalp type.
Ask the team here at Barber Industries Cessnock for more advice on the best products for men.
Wash your hair regularly with the appropriate shampoo however avoid over excessive use as it can strip your scalp of its natural oils. When applying shampoo, massage it into your scalp to promote circulation and properly remove any dirt or impurities.
Next, a quality conditioner.:
A lot of guys skip this step, but using a conditioner will help keep your scalp and hair healthy.
A good conditioner will not only offer hydration to the hair but also the scalp beneath. Apply to the entirety of your hair and not just the ends, giving it enough time to soak in and then rinse thoroughly.
Another good scalp care tip is to avoid using too much hair styling product. If you do use products, especially wax or oil based ones, be sure to use a degreasing shampoo that can remove and prevent product build up and clogged hair follicles.
Finally, for men with longer hair styles, consider incorporating a hair oil into your grooming routine and look for products that contain ingredients such as argan oil or jojoba oil.
Taking good care of your scalp is the key to keeping healthy hair.
By following the tips above and using the right products, you’ll be on your way to a healthy scalp and a head full of healthy hair. Remember to shop at Barber Industries Cessnock Village for all the best barbershop-only hair products that have been formulated especially for men.
