You want to look good when you head out the door but your routine might be working against you. Most guys think they have it down but they are actually making small errors that mess up their whole vibe. I see these mistakes everywhere and they are honestly so simple to change. If you want better hair you just need to stop doing these specific things right now.
Washing Your Hair Every Single Day
Washing your hair daily strips away all the natural oils that keep it healthy and looking good. You really only need to shampoo two or three times a week to keep your scalp clean while letting your hair stay naturally strong.
Applying Products to Soaking Wet Hair
You wash your hair and immediately reach for the styling clay. Stop right there because this ruins your look. The heavy water thins down the product so it cannot hold anything. Your hair needs to be towel dried first. That way the paste can actually grip your hair and do its job.
Using Way Too Much Styling Product
A lot of guys think more product means better hold but it really just makes your hair look super greasy and weighed down. Start with a tiny amount the size of a dime and only add a little more if you absolutely need it.
Skipping the Pre Styler Completely
Putting a pre styler like sea salt spray into damp hair before you blow dry gives you crazy volume and texture that lasts all day. Skipping this step usually leaves your hair looking flat and lifeless no matter how much wax you use later.
Blow Drying Without Heat Protection
Blasting your unprotected hair with extreme heat from a blow dryer is the fastest way to get dry and frizzy hair. Spraying a simple heat protectant takes two seconds and it literally saves your hair from getting totally fried.
Completely Ignoring the Back of Your Head
We only see the front of our hair in the mirror so guys constantly forget to style the back and it ends up sticking up everywhere. Grabbing a hand mirror to check the back of your head makes sure you look polished from every single angle.
Being Way Too Rough With the Towel
Your hair is actually pretty weak when it is wet so do not rub it. Shaking a towel back and forth breaks the hair and makes it look wild. It is much better to be patient and press the towel against your head. This simple change stops the damage immediately.
Using the Wrong Product for Your Hair Type
Choosing the wrong goop for your head is a common trap. Thin hair gets crushed under thick products and looks very sad. Meanwhile, thick hair just laughs at weak creams that cannot hold a shape. You need to know your hair type before you can truly master your morning style routine.
