Men usually care less about using products or specialized treatments to maintain healthy hair. A common problem men face is hair thinning. It is one of the major reasons for men becoming bald and socially shy.

When we talk about “hair products,” we are not just directed towards using chemical products. We are trying to include natural products that help restore hair strength and stop men from losing precious hair. However, before trying any products for your hair, it is important to know your hair type and observe your specific needs. 

This blog post explains five new habits to include in your daily routine, tips to build these habits and why consulting an expert can help you.

1. Basic Hair Care Products

A shampoo and conditioner which suits your hair type and requirements is essential.

• Oily Hair

Use a clarifying shampoo to remove the excess oil and buildup, which provides moisture and does not affect natural oil production.

• Dry Hair

Use a hydrating shampoo and conditioner that contains argan oil or shea butter.

• For Fine or Thinning Hair

Use a volumizing shampoo to add volume and a conditioner containing biotin to strengthen it.

• For Curly or Coarse Hair

Add more character to your curls and remove frizzy hair using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.

Bonus Tip: Wash your hair 2-3 times weekly to avoid dryness and maintain the natural oils.

2. Styling Products

Styling products allow you to style your hair how you want. Some popular products to use include:

• Pomade

This hair product is excellent for classic styles like pompadours. Pick a water-based pomade that washes off easily.

• Hair Wax

It provides a matte finish with moderate hold and is great for textured or messy styles.

• Clay

It provides a natural look with a stronghold and is excellent for medium and short hair length.

• Gel

While this provides a wet and glossy look, the firm hold causes stiffness. It is generally advised to use it moderately.

• Cream

They are light and flexible, perfect for making your hair look great and shiny without making it look flat.

• Mousse

Excellent for fine or flat hair, adding volume and shape.

Bonus Tip: Talk to a stylist to find the best product for your hair type and style.

3. Hair Treatments

Making hair treatments a part of your routine gives a fresh look and feel. Here are some good habits to include:

• Hair Oil

Using argan, jojoba or coconut oil nourishes and hydrates your hair and scalp.

• Leave-In Conditioner

Works wonders for dry and damaged hair, protecting and hydrating it.

• Scalp Scrub

Remove dirt buildup on the scalp and promote hair growth with frequent scalp scrubbing.

• Hair Mask

Restore damaged hair by weekly using a moisturizing hair mask. 

• Heat Protecting Spray

A protective spray can minimize the effects of heat when using blow dryers and straighteners.

4. Products Addressing Specific Concerns

Some hair concerns are unique and require specialized treatments and products for effective results.

• Thinning Hair

Use products with minoxidil, saw palmetto or caffeine, which promotes hair growth and thickness.

• Dandruff

Treat flakes and itchiness with a medicated shampoo with zinc pyrithione or ketoconazole.

• Graying Hair

Use shampoos and conditioners that enhance the vibrancy, or look for dye products for men.

• Sun Protection

UV-protecting sprays or leave-ins protect the hair and scalp from the harmful sun rays.

5. Tools and Accessories

Along with products, using the right tools can bring a visible difference:

• Quality Comb and Brush

Select tools for your hair type. For example, for curly hair, use a wide-tooth comb and a boar bristle brush for straight hair. They help distribute the natural oils.

• Blow Dryer

Using a blow dryer with heat settings and a diffuser attachment helps reduce heat damage.

• Hair Trimmers

Use a set of good trimmers to keep your hairstyle and edges sharp.

Tips to Build a Routine

Including a hair care routine in your daily schedule should not be tough. Here’s how you can make the process easy:

• Start Simple

Start with basic changes like using a shampoo and conditioner according to your hair type.

• Incorporate Styling Products

Choose a styling product according to your hair texture and style preferences.

• Add Treatments Gradually

Choose oils, hair masks, or leave-in conditioners based on your hair’s needs. Do not buy all the products at once. Choose one and start applying it two to three times weekly.

• Consistency

Follow your routine and adjust as needed for the best results.
