Grooming mistakes you could be making


You’re Not Moisturising Before Bed

This is an error as commonplace as blunt razors in a man’s bathroom. It’s easy to think that as day turns to night, you can put your grooming regime to bed.
The truth, however, is that things are just getting started for your face after your evening wash. Invest in a solid night, a little of this and your skin will wake up more hydrated and younger looking

  

Cleaning Your Beard Is A Rarity

If that’s the case, I bet you don’t moisturise it either. you’re not alone; beards are meant to be rugged and are therefore often neglected. Problem is, they need the same level of care you’d apply to the hair on your head, lest they go wiry and greasy. Wash your beard with shampoo & apply a touch of conditioner now then.
 

 You Counter Hair Loss By Growing More Hair

This is forgivable. On paper, lengthening your hair would seem like the sensible solution to receding at your temples and/or crown. But this in fact accentuates the areas that are thinning out. This is especially true if you have a side parting or, even worse, a comb-over. Keep it short and sharp, for your own good. I recommend washing your hair with Redken Full impact shampoo & styling with Redken Powder grip to add volume.
 

Razors In Your Bathroom Are As Old As The Sun

You wouldn’t wash your face with gravel so it makes sense not to carve it to pieces with rusty blades. Most razor heads are done after a few uses. To ignore their expiration is to damage your face beyond repair. You can expect burning, itching, stinging and redness. Sharpe blades require less pressure and therefore cause less damage.  How old is your razor?

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
