That bone-dry Hair of ours. All year round. In the summer, plagued by sun, various types of swimming water, and that scorching sun. Chlorine and very salty water. Components that turn men's hair into bone-dry tumbleweeds.
Result: all moisture and necessary fats are extracted from the Hair and the skin. And in the winter too. Same story. Even then, stiff and dry Hair in men is a major spoiler. For women too, by the way. But they have such DNA that they are busy with their hair almost 24/7. It's often a bit different for us.
It has to be quick. And easy. We men have other hobbies. But doing absolutely nothing is not an option either. The 4 seasons have a huge influence on our head hair.
Autumn and winter cause very fluctuating temperatures. Especially when you go from inside to outside. And vice versa. Warm-Cold-Warm-Cold. Sparking hair stress follows. Especially when you are busy with various headgear. All these influences lead to a brittle and lifeless hairstyle.
On top of that, cheap Shampoos, washing & blow-drying too often and too hot complete the hair drama. But you don't have to torture your Hair like that. It can be different. And we're going to explain that to you briefly.
Step 1 to manage dry & stiff Hair in men
Frizzy Hair in men. Get ready this autumn and winter. But with a good hair care routine, you can save your static and shriveled dry bush of Hair. To subtly manage the crackling style, a visit to the men's hairdresser is a first requirement. Let the barber first remove all dead ends, style, and breathe new life into it.
The summer has left its marks on Hair, so it must first be pruned and modeled well so that only healthy hairs remain. From that moment on, you will pamper them structurally. The perfect basis to prevent dry frizzy Hair in men.
What are the other causes that dry Hair is common in men?
Simple. You do not care for your hairstyle properly or with the wrong products. Frizzy and stiff Hair in men is caused by several actions:
- You use the wrong non-hydrating Shampoo
- You wash your Hair too often (with the wrong Shampoo)
- You do not use or use the wrong Hair Conditioner
- You wash your hair with too hot water
- You dry your hair with too hard a towel
- You blow-dry too often and too hot
Chemical often cheap Shampoos have a counterproductive effect on the Grooming of your hair. It only damages and dries out your Hair. Especially if you use them too often. The same goes for a hair conditioner with parabens, silicones, SLS/SLES, and Fragrance on board. Just don't use it.
Washing your hair with too hot water damages the hair and scalp. Washing with lukewarm water is the advice. Rubbing your Hair dry with a hard towel is also disastrous. This makes the hair porous. Resulting in: dry and lifeless Hair.
Do diet and lifestyle also affect dry Hair?
Besides the different seasons and the use of chemical ‘Hair Care’, lifestyle certainly also influences dry frizzy Hair in men. An intake of sufficient proteins and enough iron is very important to nourish your Hair (follicles) from the inside. Drink plenty of water. At least 1.5 liters a day!
It also optimally hydrates the hair and thus prevents dehydration. Another killer and cause of dry Hair in men is smoking. This hinders your blood circulation, which means less blood flows to the hair follicles. They become exhausted and this results in wiry dry lifeless Hair.
And yes, we love a beer and a glass of wine, but too much alcohol also causes a ‘bad hair day’. Alcohol lowers the zinc level. And zinc happens to be the important mineral that ensures hair growth and overall health of the Hair.
