In fact there are hundreds of shampoos and other hair products for men that have flooded the market. Unfortunately indiscriminate use of these hair products may create more problems than solve them. It is of prime importance for men to learn how to best use these products and what hair products to use that will suit the needs of your hair to make it healthy and great looking. Here are some hair care tips that will help you have great looking hair:

Use hair products sparingly
Excessive use of hair products has a long-term effect on hair. it could give you “great hair” temporarily but in the long run it could damage your hair. Regular use of hair products can lead to hair loss. So if possible avoid using gels, sprays, mousse, wax and the like. If you need to though, use it sparingly.

Apply oil to hair
Oil does for the hair what proper diet does for the body. Get yourself a good quality and a tried and tested hair oil and oil your hair and scalp before a shampoo to give your hair the conditioning it needs. Regular oiling of scalp and hair will result in a healthier and better looking hair.

Be healthy
A healthy body is reflected in healthy hair. So stay healthy, eat healthy, exercise, get plenty of sleep, drink gallons of water and lead a stress free life. In other words, maintain a healthy lifestyle. A healthy lifestyle will also prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.

Don’t comb your hair when it’s wet
Wet hair is extremely fragile. Soak off moisture from the hair first with a towel (don’t rub it with the towel either) then finger comb hair to dry it. Once the hair is just damp then use your comb.

Blow- dry your hair
Blow drying hair is one of the best way to give hair extra volume and great for styling your hair. But make sure that the blow dryer is set to medium or cool. Very hot blow dry air is bad for your hair. After soaking off the moisture from your hair with a towel, blow- dry it at low or medium and with several inches of the nozzle away from your hair.
