Hair Care Routine for Men: Expert Advice from F-11's Top Barbers
Building Your Perfect Hair Care Routine
Great hair doesn't happen by accident—it requires the right products, techniques, and consistency. LaSpada's expert barbers share their professional advice for maintaining healthy, stylish hair.
Understanding Your Hair Type
Before building your routine, identify your hair type:
- Straight Hair: Tends to get oily quickly, needs frequent washing
- Wavy Hair: Can be frizzy, benefits from moisturizing products
- Curly Hair: Often dry, requires intensive hydration
- Thick Hair: Needs strong-hold products for styling
- Fine Hair: Requires lightweight products to avoid weighing it down
Daily Hair Care Routine
Morning
1. Wet or Dampen: Either shower or dampen hair with water
2. Apply Product: Use a small amount of pomade, wax, or cream
3. Style: Use a comb or fingers to achieve your desired look
Evening
1. Brush: Remove product buildup and distribute natural oils
2. Optional Rinse: For heavy product users, rinse with water (no shampoo)
Washing Schedule
Contrary to popular belief, washing hair every day can strip natural oils. Here's the ideal schedule by hair type:
- Oily Hair: Every day or every other day
- Normal Hair: 2-3 times per week
- Dry Hair: 1-2 times per week
- Curly/Thick Hair: Once or twice per week
Shampooing Technique
- Wet hair thoroughly with warm water
- Use a quarter-sized amount of shampoo
- Massage into scalp (not just hair) for 1-2 minutes
- Rinse completely with cool water
- Apply conditioner to hair ends only
- Leave for 2-3 minutes, then rinse
Essential Products
1. Quality Shampoo
Choose sulfate-free formulas suited to your hair type. Avoid 2-in-1 products.
2. Conditioner
Essential for keeping hair soft and manageable. Apply only to the lower half of your hair.
3. Styling Product
Choose based on your desired look:
- Pomade: High shine, medium-strong hold
- Wax: Matte finish, strong hold
- Cream: Natural finish, flexible hold
- Gel: High shine, very strong hold
Professional Maintenance
Even with a great home routine, regular professional care is essential:
- Get haircuts every 3-4 weeks
- Deep conditioning treatments quarterly
- Scalp treatments for dandruff or dryness
- Professional styling advice and product recommendations
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using hot water (damages hair and scalp)
- Towel-drying too vigorously
- Using too much product
- Skipping conditioner
- Not cleaning styling tools
