Hair strandStraight hairStraight hair keeps men busy with two things: the roots get greasy fast and it loses its shape easily, meaning it falls flat. With the right shampoo, the right way of drying and a light styling product, straight hair can stay neat and full all day. Here you'll find out why this happens and get your daily routine step by step.
Hair strandWavy hairWith the right care, wavy hair gives a man the easiest natural look; with the wrong care, it looks puffy and messy. With light moisture, the right drying method and the right combing habits, your waves can stay defined and under control.
Hair strandCurly hairCurly hair looks tough but is actually the most delicate hair type: it dries out easily, breaks easily and frizzes if it isn't cared for properly. Men with curly hair also get ingrown hairs on the neck and beard area more often. With the right moisture, gentle cleansing and a careful cut, you can keep your curls under control.
Hair strandFine and thinning hairNoticing that your hair looks finer and thinner than it used to is one of the most common worries for men. The most common cause is inherited male pattern hair loss, and noticing it early gives you more options. On this page you'll learn to recognize the signs, find care that makes thin hair look fuller, and know when to see a specialist.
Hair strandThick and dense hairThick, dense hair is something many men want; but anyone who has it knows it doesn't easily behave, it puffs up and sticks up. With the right cut, moisture and a strong-hold styling product, you can turn your thick hair from a drawback into your strongest feature.
ScalpOily scalpIf your hair looks greasy by evening even though you washed it that morning, you're not alone; in men, the oil glands in the scalp are more active due to hormones. An oily scalp isn't just a cosmetic issue; it's also linked to dandruff and itching. With the right shampoo and washing routine, you can keep your scalp in balance.
ScalpDry scalpIf your scalp feels tight and itchy and fine white flakes fall onto your shoulders, the problem may be dryness rather than oiliness. A dry scalp gets worse especially in winter, with hot showers and with harsh shampoos. With a gentle routine that supports your scalp's protective layer, you can reduce itching and flaking.
ScalpSensitive scalpIf your scalp burns or stings after shampooing, or your hair roots hurt, you may have a sensitive scalp. It's more common than you might think, and it happens to men too. Recognizing your triggers and switching to a simple routine that doesn't strain your scalp can clearly reduce your symptoms.
