Greasy Hair




Q: What’s The Best Routine For Washing Hair That Gets Oily By The End Of The Day?

A: A lot of guys with greasy hair make the mistake of over-washing it with harsh shampoos and bucket loads of hot water. This is bad news, anything that strips the hair of too much oil will only stimulate the scalp to produce more to compensate.
If hair is very greasy, apply shampoo to dry hair and massage in before you add water.
Greasy hair will still benefit from a conditioner, only use a small amount and concentrate on the ends of the hair where it’s driest, rather than at the roots.
How you treat hair after washing is also important. Since both heat and friction stimulate oil production, always blow dry on a cool setting and avoid fiddling with your hair too much or over-combing when styling.
Use a good shampoo like Redken for men Go clean or Mint clean $26

The Quiff



A natural born showstopper, the quiff makes a statement but with the right touches can be worn as subtle or extreme as you like.

The quiff is all about length and volume at the front, so striking a balance is key when it comes to this cut.

If you take the back and sides particularly short while leaving a good deal of length on top, your quiff will look much more dramatic due to the extreme contrast – so have a clear idea in mind as to how you want your quiff to look. Bear in mind that the crown area also needs to be cut shorter to allow the quiff shape to stand out.

Although often seen as a younger man’s style, the quiff works for men of all ages – the size of your quiff should chime roughly with the size of your personality. If you’re opting for a quiff for its rockabilly-infused edge, then go big, but if you’d rather a less attention-grabbing variation go for  a more balanced shape. Face type is also important: since the quiff offers natural volume, it’s best not to take the hair at the sides and back too short if you have a long face.
