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. 45 | BOOM
