Naturally Great Grooming For Men: Organic Haircare
When it comes to hair, men usually have three main concerns: how it looks, going grey and losing it. We can use Organic Haircare products to improve the appearance of our hair. But because the hair that we see above our scalp is basically dead material in order to really impact your hair’s health. And continuing growth you need to impact the hair follicles in the scalp where the hair is formed. Here are some tips on how men can naturally care for their hair and help retain both its colour and abundance.
Basic Haircare
Guys with short hair don’t really need much in the way of haircare products. At most they can use a mild shampoo every second day or so. But many with very short hair may actually be able to get away with just massaging their scalp. Under the shower every day and not need shampoo at all. Men with longer hair will need to use a mild shampoo on a regular basis. And if you use hair styling products you will need to wash them out with shampoo.
The main aim of washing your hair is to make it look better but it also helps remove dirt. And oil which may clog the pores in your scalp leading to poor hair condition and hair loss. The amount of washing needed depends on the amount of dirt and oil that is on your scalp. A man who works in a dusty factory will need to wash his hair with shampoo regularly. Whereas a man who works in an office may not need to use shampoo at all or only every few days.
Most men have oilier hair than women and shouldn’t need to use a conditioner unless their hair is very long and needs detangling. If your hair has been colour treated, especially bleached, or if you spend a lot of time in the sun. Surf or pool then you may also need to use a conditioner after washing your hair to smooth and protect it. An easy way to give your hair smoothness and shine is to rinse it with cold water at the end of your shower. This is also great for boosting the circulation in your body and hence blood and nutrient flow to your scalp.
The main thing to remember is that although your hair is dead you do need to treat it and your scalp gently. It is recommend that you use haircare products that are free from sodium lauryl/laureth sulphate (SLS). SLS dissolves the natural protective oils in your scalp and has linked to skin dryness. Skin irritation, eye irritation, hair damage and liver toxicity. Please note, a product does not need to foam to clean. Go for products containing natural gels and oils and naturally derived surfactants (cleaning agents).
