Are you a Sarasota-area gentleman with long luxurious hair? Then you know how important it is to maintain it properly. You can’t look your best without a good upkeep strategy. The Barber Chair knows a few tips for how to achieve optimal long hair for men.
Long Hair Maintenance Suggestions
The first thing you have to do, which may seem abundantly obvious, would be to grow long hair. This takes time, and patience, and not all men have the same terminal/maximum length, so always temper your expectations. Once you’ve grown your hair out, we have a few suggestions:
- Use Quality Products (including conditioner)
-
-
- This one sounds rather straightforward since nobody ever seeks to put bad stuff in their hair, but you have to know what constitutes a quality product. The specifics depend a little on hair type, so there’s no universal recommendation. However, we can all agree that you want to avoid anything containing silicones, sulfates, and other harsh substances. You’ll want to experiment with different versions of fiber cream, coconut oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, and other natural ingredients. Avoid anything with a low pH level (acidic).
-
- Don’t Over Do It With Hair Dryers
-
-
- While we don’t advise anybody to run around with wet hair (which can be cold and make you sick), you should be prudent about how you dry it. Hair dryers can do the job if you’re in a hurry, but they’re a bit rough on hair follicles after a while. Too much dryer usage is a recipe for split ends.
-
- Use a Wide-Tooth Comb
-
- Wide-tooth combs are the best way to address difficult tangles without yanking out hair. This is especially important if you have thick or curly hair, and it applies equally to beard combing. Take your time with this and don’t comb it excessively or you’ll aggravate things.
Then, we have one final and very important tip: visit The Barber Chair for the best grooming services in the Sarasota area.
