Not only are men more
fashion and skin aware, they care about their hair more now
than ever. Unfortunately, it can look great one day, and
dull and drab the next -- but it doesn't have to be that
way. It's amazing what a little cut and advice can do for
your image and self-esteem.
Whether you have a lot of
hair, or just a little, we've got some care, cut, style and
color tips to keep it in tip-top shape, working the best
with what nature and genetics gave you.
Haircut &
Styling
Men need their hair
trimmed more often than women do, approximately every 4
weeks.
Don't hold on to an
outdated look. Ask your stylist for an updated haircut and
style that will compliment your natural texture and part.
Try a different salon if
you're ready for a change. Both male and female stylists
can give you some great ideas for color, cut and style.
If your hair is thinning,
don't fight it. Stick with a short cut, or consider
shaving it all off, a la Bruce Willis.
If your hair gets frizzy
in the Summer, use a little mousse, gel or styling product
designed specifically for frizzy hair.
Eat a healthy, well-balanced
diet to ensure shine.
Men's Hair Coloring Tips
Hair color gives your
hair an instant turbo-boost for shine, making it appear
thicker and healthy.
Some males look fabulous
in gray hair but others fight it. If you're getting gray
hairs, try going back to your natural hair color you had
in your younger years. The same goes for a beard.
If you color your hair
at home, always do a test strand, not only for an allergic
reaction -- but for hue. The longer you leave the color on,
the darker it will be, of course, unless you're going
lighter.
"Just for Men" hair
color is highly popular due to a great product and
marketing efforts. Plus, the name gives you that macho
feeling.
Try a semi-permanent
hair color designed for men to find that perfect shade and
shine.
Coloring your hair
swells your hair shaft and will make it appear fuller.
