When we think of hair care, our thoughts are naturally drawn towards the long locks of the women in our family, like our mothers? Don’t be fooled, though! The men or our dads are equally proud about their hair, though they might not show it or talk about it.
Hair care needs a ritual, no matter the length
A general myth is that long hair needs more TLC than short hair. Absolutely wrong! Regardless of the length of the strands – whether half a centimetre or waist long, what needs all your attention is the scalp which must be cleansed and the ends that need to be nourished. Your hair care routine should protect your strands from free radicals, pollution, chemical treatments, styling, etc.
The four simple steps of a hair care ritual
Which brings us to the most effective hair care ritual irrespective of gender. This includes four simple steps – cleanse, nourish, protect, and repair. Cleanse with a reconstruction shampoo, powered by a unique tri-surfactant blend, which delivers a deep yet gentle cleanse in a single wash, leaving strands refreshed and revitalized. Nourish with a reconstruction hair mask, enriched with repair agents and Argan Oil, which deeply hydrates, smooths, and tames frizz. Protect with a leave-in-conditioner with 21 essential benefits. All you need to do is apply a small amount to damp hair and leave it in. No rinsing needed. Repair daily damage using a lightweight hair repair serum with a powerful fusion of hydrolysed keratin and argan oil that works wonders on your hair.
What most fathers get wrong about hair care
Sadly, some dads believe that simply wetting their hair is enough to keep their hair clean and healthy. Some others think that using too many products is a waste of time and money and completely unnecessary. Still others go to the other extreme with a shelf full of hair care products! The result? You have dads who either neglect their hair or those who overload it and in both cases, the hair health suffers terribly. So, what is the right way to look after your hair?
Washing your hair only doesn’t cause hair fall. In fact, not shampooing enough leads to product build-up, clogged follicles, and an unhealthy scalp that causes hair fall. For dads who sweat more due to active outdoor routines or daily stress, need a proper hair ritual in place even more.
Dads are usually the giving ones imparting all of life’s important lessons to you and making sure you’re well taken care of. Perhaps, it’s time for you to take over the reins when it comes to giving him the best advice on how to take care of his hair?
A tiny step can lead to something great so begin with introducing him to the world of hair care, the science behind the products, they why’s and the what’s, the dos and the don’ts and watch him transform into the best 2.Oh! version of himself!
