At home hair hacks for men – taming the mane
So, you haven't had a haircut in a while, and starting to feel a little like a woolly mammoth. But that doesn't mean you have to look terrible just because you can't have a trim. Here are some tips to help tame your mane:
Embrace longer locks
Embrace having long hair for a change after all – we are all in the same boat.
The trick with longer hair is to keep it healthy and tidy. Use products that help to boost the health and strength of your hair and scalp such as damaged hair repair treatments, dry scalp treatments or deep conditioning masks. Stylists are predicting long hair trends and more relaxed styling to emerge over the next few years as social distancing and being at home becomes the norm.
It’s all about the pre-game build-up
Try some pre-styling product when your hair is wet to help control unruly tresses and give your hair an overall healthier and shinier appearance. There are loads of different products on the market perfect for all hair types. Remember, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing – too much pre-styling product can make your hair appear greasy, so use it sparingly.
Use a conditioner
Washing your hair should be a two-step affair. It starts with your shampoo and should finish with a good conditioner. Use products specifically designed for your hair type for the best results. Using conditioner in conjunction with your shampoo will help to tame frizz and stave off dry hair and split ends.
Treat scalp issues
Treat any dry scalp and dandruff with a dermatologically tested product, designed for your specific issue – it will help you to feel more comfortable.
Cool over hot
If you use a hairdryer or straightener as a styling tool, make sure you stick to a colder setting. Overusing hot dryers and straighteners can damage your hair and leave it looking frizzy and parched.
Men’s grooming in the time of a global health crisis can be a challenge, but it’s not impossible. When it comes to selecting the best products for yourself, make sure you choose a brand like Dove, which believes that real beauty is cruelty-free. Dove also has a range of different hair care products for a variety of hair types and concerns, from hair masks and treatments to adding volume – take time for at-home hair care to tame your mane.
