MEN’S
6 Things You Need To Stop
Doing To Your Hair Because
They Are Making Your Scalp
Oily
M
en love fixing their hair every time they see themselves in the mirror. It’s like a reflex that they always feel the need to touch their hair to make
sure their hairstyle looks neat. And we don’t blame them
for doing that but the only problem with this is that they
unintentionally are making their hair greasy. There are
more such habits that make your scalp oily while you
blaming the weather for it. We tell you how you are making your hair greasy.
1. Washing Your Hair With Hot Water
It is difficult to wash your hair with cold water in winters
but washing hair with hot water will only destroy your
hair roots. Hot water makes your scalp extremely dry
making the sebaceous glands produce oil more actively.
2. Washing Your Hair Everyday
It is good to make sure that your scalp is clean but washing your hair very frequently makes your scalp dry that in
turn makes it oily in the long run.
3. Using A Lot Of Conditioner
You only need a few drops of conditioner on your scalp.
An overuse of conditioner results in greasy hair.
4. Using Too Many Styling Products
It is good to use hair products that help you style your
hair differently but again, these products have chemicals
and if you use too much of chemicals, your hair is bound
to become greasy.
5. Using Dirty Hair Combs And Brushes
Over a period of time, our hair combs and brushes get
dirty and oily. And when you use the same brush, then
obviously, your hair will get greasy. So, make sure that
you clean your hair combs and brushes regularly.
6. Touching Your Hair Too Often
This is what you have to stop doing. By touching your
hair, you transfer sweat from your hands to the hair and
that makes your scalp oily.
5 Rules Of Wearing A Perfume
That Every Man Must Know Of
T
he concept of buying perfumes is simple. You
need to buy milder fragrances when the climate is
hot and bolder fragrances when the temperature
falls. Many of us love our perfumes and what we love
even more is spraying it on our entire body. In a bid to
make sure that we smell good, there are times when we
overdo it. So, here is a guide for you that tells you about
the etiquette of applying perfumes.
1. Do Not Drench Yourself In Your Favourite Fragrance
No matter how much you love your perfume, it is not
cool to drench yourself in that fragrance. You might feel
good about yourself doing that but trust us, you will successfully be choking the person sitting next to you. And
not to forget the fact that perfumes are expensive, so
you shouldn’t really end up finishing one bottle in a week
when you go on a spraying spree.
2. Make Sure Your Perfume Goes Well With The Occasion You Are Attending
When you are in a meeting you don’t want everybody to
be sneezing or noticing the strong fragrance that you are
wearing. It is very important to choose your fragrance
wisely depending on the occasion. For instance, occasions like a cocktail party, a day at the office or corpo-
rate events demand a little sophistication, hence use a
subtle fragrance. Always remember that your choice of
perfume should compliment your personality.
3. Apply Your Perfume With Finesse
This is exactly what we told you before. Do not go crazy
splashing perfume all over your clothes. The only areas
you need to apply your perfume are on your pulse points
which are behind your earlobes, upper sides of your
palms and the right and left side of your neck. Rubbing
wrists after spraying on perfume is not such a good idea
because that ways you reduce the effect of the perfume.
A great way of getting perfume on your entire body without emptying the bottle is to spray the fragrance into the
air and walk through it.
4. Choose Your Fragrance Wisely
Smelling good is not only a way of making yourself more
desirable for the opposite sex but it is a great way to enhance your personality too. Make sure you select a fragrance that talks a lot about the kind of person you are.
5. Dump It When Its Old
Over time, fragrances become stale. So, the minute you
open your perfume bottle and you feel that the fragrance
isn’t the same anymore, it’s time to get a new bottle.
