AT THE BARBER SHOP charakter, WE UNDERSTAND THAT EACH OF US HAS UNIQUE HAIR AND BEARD CARE NEEDS. WITH RESPECT FOR YOUR INDIVIDUALITY, WE WOULD LIKE TO OFFER YOU SOME PROVEN TIPS AND RECOMMENDATIONS ON HOW TO KEEP YOUR HAIR AND BEARD IN GOOD CONDITION TO FEEL GOOD AND LOOK NATURAL.
1. KNOW YOUR NEEDS
EVERY HAIR AND BEARD IS UNIQUE. FIND OUT IF YOU HAVE DRY, OILY OR COMBINATION HAIR AND ADJUST YOUR CARE ROUTINE ACCORDINGLY.
DRY HAIR
DRY FEELING: YOUR HAIR FEELS ROUGH AND DRY TO THE TOUCH.
FRAGILITY AND BREAKABILITY: DRY HAIR IS OFTEN FRAGILE AND PRONE TO BREAKING.
SPLIT ENDS: YOU OFTEN OBSERVE SPLIT OR SPLIT ENDS.
DULL APPEARANCE: HAIR LACKS SHINY AND CAN LOOK FLAWLESS.
GREASY HAIR
GET OILY FAST: HAIR APPEARS TO BE OILY SHORTLY AFTER WASHING.
HEAVY AND COOLNESS: HAIR CAN FEEL HEAVY AND STICK.
FREQUENT WASHING: NEED FOR FREQUENT WASHING DUE TO EXCESSIVE OIL PRODUCTION.
SHINY LOOK: HAIR CAN BE EXCESSIVELY SHINY, BUT NOT IN A GOOD WAY.
MIXED HAIR
COMBINATION OF CHARACTERS: THE ROOTS OF THE HAIR CAN BE OILY, WHILE THE ENDS ARE DRY.
INCONSISTENT TEXTURE: HAIR CAN BE SMOOTH AT THE ROOTS AND DRY OR SPLIT AT THE TIPS.
STYLING PROBLEM: DIFFERENT SECTIONS OF THE HAIR MAY REQUIRE DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO STYLE.
HOW TO TEST IT AT HOME
IF YOU ARE UNSURE, YOU CAN DO A SIMPLE TEST: WASH YOUR HAIR WITH SHAMPOO, LEAVE YOUR HAIR WITHOUT CONDITIONER AND LET YOUR HAIR DRY WITHOUT USING STYLING PRODUCTS. SEE HOW YOUR HAIR LOOKS AND FEELS THE NEXT DAY.
2. CHOOSE THE RIGHT SHAMPOO
THE KEY IS USING A SHAMPOO THAT MATCHES YOUR HAIR AND SCALP TYPE. WASHING TOO FREQUENTLY CAN DRY THE HAIR AND SKIN, SO FOR MOST MEN SHAMPOOING 2-3 TIMES A WEEK IS ENOUGH.
HERE ARE A FEW TIPS ON CHOOSING THE RIGHT ONE:
IDENTIFY YOUR HAIR TYPE: IS YOUR HAIR DRY, OILY, DAMAGED, FINE OR DO YOU HAVE CURLY HAIR? DIFFERENT TYPES REQUIRE DIFFERENT SHAMPOO COMPOSITIONS.
CONSIDER SPECIFIC NEEDS: FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOU HAVE DANDRUFF OR YOUR SKIN IS SENSITIVE, LOOK FOR SHAMPOOS THAT SOLVE THOSE PROBLEMS. THERE ARE SHAMPOOS WITH ANTI-FUNGAL INGREDIENTS, SHAMPOOS FOR SENSITIVE SKIN WITHOUT SULFATES AND PARABENS, OR SHAMPOOS THAT STRENGTHEN HAIR FOLLICLES.
NATURAL COMPOSITION: IF POSSIBLE, CHOOSE SHAMPOOS WITH NATURAL OILS AND EXTRACTS THAT NOURISH YOUR HAIR HEALTHY, FOR EXAMPLE, SHAMPOOS WITH ALOE VERA, COCONUT OIL, OR TEA TREE WHICH ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR MOISTURIZING AND ANTISEPTIC EFFECTS.
AVOID HARMFUL CHEMICALS: TRY TO AVOID SHAMPOOS CONTAINING SILICONES, SULFATES AND PARABENS, WHICH CAN LONG-TERM DAMAGE TO YOUR HAIR AND SCALP.
TRY AND OBSERVE: SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO TRY SEVERAL SHAMPOOS BEFORE YOU FIND THE RIGHT ONE. WATCH HOW YOUR HAIR REACTS TO THE SHAMPOO AFTER SEVERAL USES. THE IDEAL SHAMPOO SHOULD LEAVE HAIR CLEAN, VIBRANT AND EASY TO MANAGE.
YOU CAN ACHIEVE HEALTHIER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL HAIR BY CHOOSING THE RIGHT SHAMPOO. ALWAYS READ REVIEWS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OR CONSULT A PROFESSIONAL TO MAKE SURE THE SHAMPOO MEETS ALL YOUR REQUIREMENTS.
3. DON'T FORGET THE CONDITIONER
CONDITIONER HELPS KEEP HAIR MOISTURIZED AND EASY TO MANAGE. APPLY IT AFTER EVERY SHAMPOO USE, ESPECIALLY TO THE HAIR AND BEARD ENDS. WHEN CHOOSING A CONDITIONER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSIDER YOUR HAIR TYPE. EACH TYPE NEEDS A LITTLE DIFFERENT CARE. HERE ARE THREE QUICK TIPS ON CHOOSING THE RIGHT CONDITIONER:
FOR DRY AND DAMAGED HAIR: LOOK FOR CONDITIONERS RICH IN MOISTURIZING INGREDIENTS, SUCH AS ARGAN OIL OR KERATIN, WHICH INTENSIVELY NOURISH THE HAIR AND RESTORE ITS ELASTICITY.
FOR OILY HAIR: CHOOSE A LIGHT CONDITIONER LABELED "FOR VOLUME" OR "FOR OIL REGULATION". THESE PRODUCTS GIVE YOUR HAIR THE NECESSARY CARE WITHOUT UNNECESSARY LOADING.
FOR MIXED HAIR: THE IDEAL CHOICE IS BALANCED FORMULATIONS THAT MOISTURIZE DRY ENDS WITHOUT UNUSUALLY LOADING THE GREASIER ROOTS.
ALWAYS REMEMBER TO READ THE INGREDIENTS CAREFULLY AND AVOID PRODUCTS WITH PARABENS AND SILICONES, WHICH CAN DAMAGE YOUR HAIR LONG-TERM. EXPERIMENT AND FIND THE ONE THAT SUITS YOUR HAIR BEST!
4. REGULAR BEARD MAINTENANCE
YOUR BEARD NEEDS THE SAME CARE AS THE HAIR ON YOUR HEAD. USE SPECIAL BEARD OILS TO HELP KEEP IT SOFT AND HEALTHY. DON'T FORGET TO COMB YOUR BEARD, WHICH IS AN IMPORTANT PART OF THEIR MAINTENANCE, WHICH NOT ONLY IMPROVES THEIR APPEARANCE, BUT ALSO CONTRIBUTES TO BETTER HEALTH OF YOUR SKIN AND BEARD ITSELF. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS?
OIL DISTRIBUTION: HELPS TO EVENLY DISTRIBUTE NATURAL OILS FROM THE SKIN AS WELL AS APPLIED OILS OR BEARD BALMS, ENSURING EACH HAIR IS WELL NOURISHED AND MOISTURIZED.
PREVENTION OF TANGLES AND BREAKING: BY COMBING REGULARLY, YOU KEEP YOUR BEARD SMOOTH AND NUT-FREE, WHICH REDUCES THE RISK OF BREAKING DURING STYLING OR NORMAL WEAR.
PROMOTES GROWTH: COMBING STIMULATES BLOOD CIRCULATION IN THE SKIN UNDER THE BEARD, WHICH CAN PROMOTE HEALTHIER AND FASTER BEARD GROWTH.
REMOVING DIRT: BRUSHING HELPS REMOVE DUST, DIRT AND DEAD SKIN CELLS, KEEPING THE BEARD CLEAN AND CAN PREVENT SKIN INFLAMMATION.
BETTER SHAPE AND STYLING: COMBING MAKES IT EASIER TO SHAPE AND STYLE YOUR BEARD, IMPROVING THE OVERALL APPEARANCE.
5. TEMP WATER IS YOUR FRIEND
WASH YOUR HAIR AND BEARD WITH TEMPERATURE. HOT WATER CAN DRY YOUR HAIR AND SKIN UNNECESSARY.
6. DRYING WITH THOUGHT
USE THE TOWEL GENTLELY, WITHOUT SCRUBBING. IF POSSIBLE, LET YOUR HAIR AND BEARD DRY NATURALLY OR USE A DRYER ON A COOL SETTING.
7. DIET FOR STRONG HAIR AND BEARDS. WHAT TO EAT?
