The Ultimate Guide to Hair Care for Men by Hair Type

The Ultimate Guide to Hair Care for Men by Hair Type

Maintaining healthy hair for men is important for a variety of reasons. Not only does a healthy head of hair promote a positive and confident self-image, but it also signals a person's health. Proper care can prevent problems such as hard breakage, dryness, and hair loss. Hair care is important, and a healthy scalp is vital for hair growth. At Carve Your Path, our men's products are designed with hair care in mind.

Types of Hair and Care

Whether you have straight, curly, coiled, or wavy hair, there are plenty of choices in products that promote good health, from shampoos and conditioners to pomades and combs.

Whatever your hair type, it is important to choose the products that will be most beneficial to your hair and scalp health.

Straight Hair

For men with straight hair, several helpful tips can be added to a hair care regimen. A good place to start is washing your hair every couple of days using lightweight shampoo. Also, include regular use of a good conditioner. After washing, pat your hair dry gently rather than briskly.

While you may like to brush your hair often, keep it simple and not excessive. If you use a heating element for styling, limit the time, as too much heat dries the hair and causes it to become brittle and break. Always use a product that helps protect against heat when you rely on heat for styling.

For a full and healthy look, incorporate styling products that promote volume and texture. Several of our products are applicable for straight hair care, such as Surface Awaken conditioner, Dash For Him pomade, Surface Awaken shampoo, and our Ox the Barber wide tooth comb.

Curly Hair Tips

Like straight hair, do not wash it every day. Use a hair-friendly gentle shampoo specifically formulated for curly hair. Keep conditioning as part of the routine. Use minimal heat for drying or styling. A wide-tooth comb works well to detangle hair while it is still wet. Keep the curls look their best with frequent trimming. Our products for wavy hair include Surface Awaken shampoo and conditioner, Dash for Hm hair powder, and Davnes Love curl cream.

Coiled Hair Tips

Use a gentle shampoo and a deep moisturizing conditioner to keep coils healthy. Before washing, always use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle your hair. Avoid styling that involves excessive heat. Consider hairstyles specific to coils, such as braids, to keep coils protected. Trim split ends to prevent hair breakage.

Our products that work well with coiled hair include Dash For Him strong-hold pomade, Surface Awaken conditioner, and the Ox the Barber wide-tooth comb.

Wavy Hair Tips

Wavy hair has the same requirements as curly, coiled, and straight hair, using a leave-in conditioner to enhance moisture and a hydrating shampoo that reduces/prevents frizzy hair. Use our Ox the Barber wide-tooth comb for detangling, do not overly dry your hair after it is washed, and avoid products that will cause your hair to dry out. Keep the waves looking good by keeping your hair trimmed. Do this every couple of months to prevent the emergence of split ends.
