Hair Advice: How To Deal With Thinning Hair

Picture
Thinning hair or guys with naturally thin hair have to abide by different rules when styling their hair.

Certain hairstyles are a no-go and certain products will make your hair appear even thinner, here are some great tips and advice on how to deal with and style thin or thinning hair.


1. Stay Away From ‘Gel’ Products
Gel products that give hair a wet look are a no-go for guys with thin hair. These types of hair products tend to clump your hair together and make it heavy, revealing a large amount of your scalp which no one wants.


2. Use Products That Help with Thinning Hair

* Toppik or Eclipse: A great product that will help with giving you a more thick haired look. This product uses fibers that intertwine with your natural hair and make it seem fuller and not as thin.

* Nizoral or Nioxin Shampoo: Thinning hair can sometimes be the result of an unhealthy scalp or weather conditions that are cold and dry.  Nizoral definitley helps in this department.  Nioxin nelps to remove follicle-clogging sebum, and environmental residues from the scalp and hair. Cleanses to provide thicker-looking hair.

* Matte Wax: Instead of Gel for hairstyling, use a matte wax. A matte wax will not have the wet gel effect and reveal your scalp, it will  give you a more thicker and natural look.


3. Choose The Right Hairstyle

If you have thinning hair, it’s best to stay away from any spiky hairstyles. Go for more flat hairstyles with a fringe that are laid down. Definitely check out my post above on
 how to chose the right haircut for you.

5 Reasons Why You Need A Shower Cap

Although, nothing feels better than a long hot shower, especially when it is cold outside, there are two factors to account for as soon as you’re done with your 15 minutes of bliss. 1 - It's freezing and now you have dripping wet hair which you probably won't want to air dry. And 2 - you now need to blow-dry your hair, (you probably saw that one coming). So, here are our top 5 reasons you need a shower cap!

Re-styling: Because it’s Monday, and you don’t want to wash your hair… again. Our "Sunday Hair" is almost in need of a washing and you're having a case of those Monday's. You can stretch that style one more day with use of your handy dandy shower cap. It will not only keep your hair from getting wet, but it will block out all moisture that would normally cause frizz.

Deep Conditioning: To receive all the benefits of a deep conditioner it is best to shampoo hair, apply deep conditioner, twist back and COVER! By covering your hair in a shower cap it allows the heat from your head to create the perfect enclosed environment for product to penetrate the cuticle.

Sleepy Time: If you hate waking up with unmanageable bed head, try using a shower cap (or a silk head wrap) when you sleep. While it might not be the most glamorous way to snooze, you can say bye-bye to the AM rats nest because it retains your style throughout the night.  

Reduce Breakage: Your hair will thank you because you are reducing damage and hair breakage. Using a shower cap when sleeping, getting ready, or prolonging your hair washing means less pulling and styling, and thus stronger, longer, healthier hair.  

Save water - California may be the most familiar state suffering from the draught, however all over the world we are in a water crisis. Do your part to preserve the earth’s natural resources by shortening your shower time. Using a shower cap makes it a breeze to pop in and out of the shower in a flash saving gallons upon gallons of water.

Men's Grooming: The Go-To Guide For Your New Haircut

Picture
Fashion trends and hairstyles waltz in and out of trend cyclically, but some styles are pure classics and we just never seem to tire of them. Short hairstyles for men who appreciate neat and well maintained slick appearance are part of that timeless look.

The good thing about short haircuts?  Any man can pull off convincingly.

Short on the sides and back and a little bit longer on top is such a simple cut that almost every man out there has tried it at some point or the other. And it suits the majority, which is why so many blokes (including myself) stick with it forever.

But that’s not to say getting a short hairstyle is easy or that you can’t get it wrong.

The drawback to such simplicity is the fact that a wrongly done short hairstyle could come off as bland or boring.

To avoid this you need a stylish cut that complements your face, suits your hair texture and allows you to look good with low maintenance - unless you don’t mind spending time on hairstyling.

Which is why I put together this guide that will walk you through all the different short hairstyles you can go for and the things you need to consider when making your decision.

Things to consider for a short hairstyle:  

Head Shape: Round, Square, Oblong, Heart, Triangular, Oval, Diamond
Type of Hair:  Straight or Curly Hair, Thinning Hair
Required maintenance and frequency
Products that you need/can use to maintain the style
Picking the best short hairstyle and styling it

Here's a quick Go-To Guide for hairstyles according to your face shape.
