5 Aftercare tips and tricks for your haircut

Invest in Quality Products 

Did you ever wonder why your hair looks so good, after a quick grooming session from the barber, but you can’t create the same stunning look at home? One of the primary reasons for this is the high-quality products used by your favourite salon. Take our word, when we say that premium hair care products make a world of a difference. If you want to maintain the smooth texture and style of your new haircut, then you should not choose the shampoos and styling products that are capable of stripping away natural oil from it. In fact, buy products that keep your hair well-nourished and hydrated.

Shampoo Less, Condition More 

Ok, time to burst one of the popular myths here. If you think shampooing your hair is going to make it fluffier and shinier, then you are wrong. We understand the desperate need to make your hair commercial-like but that is a horrible idea. Washing your hair with shampoo every day, actually makes it duller and more prone to breakage. It is also one of the reasons why men suffer from hair fall issues. The ideal way to keep your hair hydrated and manageable, is to condition it more often. This way, the natural oil stays on and your hair can be easily styled.

Go Light on the Styling Products

Smothering tons of mousse or styling gel, won’t help you get the style you want. In fact, it will make your hair messier and stickier! For maintaining the new look, a little wax is good enough to hold on to your style. The ideal way is to use a dime size amount and apply on damp hair, to get desirable results. So, next time, when you are thinking about overloading the greasy gels on your precious hair, stop and read this blog again. Just saying!

 Enjoy the Cold Rinse 

Here we are, bursting another common myth for you. Are you ready for this? Hold on to your seat. Warm water can damage your hair fiercely! Believe it or not, rinsing your hair with cold water, actually makes your hair look healthier and shinier by sealing your hair cuticles. The warm water has potential to damage your hair by lifting the cuticles causing frizz, and dandruff. And last time we checked, who wants an itchy frizzy hairstyle?

Master the Art of Styling

When you are at a barbershop, you are in awe of how your barber handles the blow dryer and creates the perfect hairstyle in nanoseconds. But when you try to do the same at home, you fail miserably. Well, styling a new haircut, with a blow dryer takes a lot of practice for sure. So, here is what you need to do! Use a nozzle attachment for more control and point the dryer downwards to keep the hair frizz-free. Additionally using a round brush can make the look sleeker and more voluminous. 

 Should You Wash Your Hair Before and After a Haircut?

When you have booked an appointment for a haircut, you often wonder if washing your hair is a good idea. Well, it is a good thing, if you visit your barber with a clean scalp, as it can make the hairstyling manageable. Moreover, it removes excessive product build-up, allowing the barber to craft haircuts more easily. On the other hand, washing your hair after a haircut is a personal preference. Some men prefer it to get rid of loose hair clippings and refresh themselves. While others may want to keep their haircut fresh for another day or two. In any case, it completely depends on your choice 

Final Say on Aftercare Tips for Your Haircut

However, by following the above aftercare tips and tricks for your haircut, you can easily keep the look fresh and your confidence alive.
