Now, some men are thorough when it come to how they look; and while many have given advice to dress up for the job, what they didn’t add is to apply the same principle with hairstyles.
Working professionals such as yourself shouldn’t stick with the notion of just suiting up to impress, you also have to get yourself cleaned up to keep up a respectable image. And that goes for what hairstyle you are currently going for. There are some guys who can easily pull-off a ragged look and just as easily turn it into a sleek, classy style the next, they have no qualms when it comes to rocking an office haircut which is a talent in itself. So for those, who are still a little bit lost on how to present themselves with utmost confidence, here are some tips for you on how you can pull off a cool haircut at work! Know Your Hair & Face and Familiarize Ask yourself first, if the current hair trend you want is applicable to the type of hair you are sporting. You definitely need to determine what type of hair style goes well for you. We’re talking about the texture of your hair, the shape of your face, and your facial features. A lot of guys make a mistake on just winging their haircuts just because they find the hairstyle cool but when they attempt to copy the look it just doesn’t work for them. Whoever said taking a big leap without thinking is a good way to go, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Don’t fall into the trap. Familiarize yourself with the overall structure of your head: hair and face. The Right Hairstyles Don’t be discouraged that just because you have curly hair doesn’t mean you can’t have that clean-swept and sleek hairdo. You’d be surprised there are ways to accomplish a certain hairstyle without jeopardizing your current look. All you need to do is look for some comparison. You already have a good resource for this – the Internet. Go through some styles which you think are right for you and will make you look dapper and respectable. Consider Your Work Environment While a youthful and extraordinary hairstyle certainly have its merits, it is also important to be mindful of your surroundings, your work environment in particular. So if you are considering a striking change of style, just be sure that it would be appropriate for your current job and how will your co-workers, bosses, and clients perceive your chosen look. Ask the Experts If your indecisions are still holding you back from achieving that perfect work style, it’s time to ask the experts. Take the time to understand on what they have to say because they can help you identify what type of look would best suit you. It also helps if you brought some of the photos of hairstyle you’re eyeing on so that they have an idea what you also want, that way it’s more of a collaborative work. Stick with the Classics Despite the fact that there are plenty of hairstyle trends suitable for a modernize look, we can’t deny that the classics still resonates with us the most. Take inspiration from all the classics. You have a number to choose from! Not to mention that the vintage are making a comeback this year but with a modernized spin to it. This will surely give you a sense of professionalism with an addition of the ‘classic’ appeal. You want a fail-safe look? Then your top answer would be to go for a classic cut!] This article first appeared on The Manliness Kit 5/13/2017 0 Comments 3 Coconut Milk Masks for Dry HairBy Julyne Derrick
Coconut oils and milks are great for both your skin and your hair. In the tropics, women have been moisturizing their hair with coconut milk for generations. And for good reason, coconut milk is wonderful for keeping hair soft and shiny. Here, I include 3 coconut milk masks for the hair and as an extra bonus, I've included a recipe for making your own homemade coconut milk. Simple Coconut Milk Hair Mask Coconut oils and milks are great for both your skin and your hair. This recipe is a favorite and leaves hair silky and smelling fabulous. What's best about this hair mask is how absolutely simple it is. Plus, there's no need to use all the milk. You can cover the bowl and use again after a few days. Ingredients
Pour a can or bottle of unsweetened coconut milk in a bowl and refrigerate overnight so it hardens. Section hair into 3-5 sections and section, by section, apply the milk from roots to ends of your hair (hair should be dry when applied). Cover head with a shower cap and leave the mask on for about 20 minutes. Rinse hair in the shower and comb out. If you have dry ends but your scalp tends to get oily, apply this mask only to the bottom 3/4ths of hair, keeping it off the scalp. Coconut Milk & Avocado Hair Mask I love the effects of avocado on dry, frizzy hair. This recipe is for shoulder-length hair. Add more if you have long hair. Ingredients
How to Use Wet your hair thoroughly, then comb the mask through from roots to ends. Cover with plastic and a towel or a shower cap if you have one and let the mask sit for 10-30 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. I have found that even 5 minutes helps with these masks, so if you're in a hurry, you can rinse after a few minutes and you won't have to leave the shower. Infused Olive Oil and Coconut Milk Hair Mask You've heard of hot oil treatments, well you can make your own with an infusion of rosemary and olive oil. The milk is added for extra moisturizing benefits. Don't have time to make an infusion? No worries. Just skip that part. Olive oil and coconut milk are wonderful together even without the herb. Olive oil infusions will last for 6 months. Ingredients
Once you have your infused olive oil, you'll make your hair mask by combining 1/2 cup of the infused olive oil and 1/2 cup of the coconut milk. How to Use Apply to hair, cover with a shower cap and let it sit for 30 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. You may feel you need to shampoo your hair after a hot oil treatment, which is fine. How to Make Your Own Coconut Milk While you can buy coconut milk in a can, there's nothing better than homemade just-off-the-coconut milk. Here's how to make your own. Ingredients
Drain the coconut water into a cup. Place the coconut in a pan and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a large wooden cutting board or other solid work surface. Break the coconut apart with a hammer. Rinse the coconut meat and slice the coconut into small pieces (no need to break the shell away from the meat). Place the coconut pieces and the reserved coconut water in a blender and blend until finely chopped. Put the chopped coconut into a glass bowl with the 4 cups of boiling water. Cover the bowl and let it sit for 30-45 minutes. Using a strainer or cheesecloth, strain the mixture into another bowl. This is your milk. You should have enough for 3 treatments. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
