Top Tips to put the Spring back in your Hair (or Hare)

In our first Groomed Gentlemen section, we
tackle the thing at the top of your head, your
hair, for some it is an obsession of style for
others it is something that is nothing more
than keeping the top of your head warm. As
every Gentleman knows it’s the details that
matter, so hopefully we can give you some top
tips to make your hair hop to perfection this
March and put a spring in your step.
Start with the Scalp
We tend to forget that beneath our head of hair
is a patch of skin, that needs on it’s own due
care and attention. We tend to throw chemicals
on it, scrape it with plastic & metal and scald it
with hot air, without so much of a care. Let us
pause and take a little care of our scalp, it is the
bedrock of a perfectly good head of hair.

Once or twice a week one should Exfoliate
your scalp. Yes, you did not read wrong. We
have got better as men at taking care of our
facial skin and most of us use some kind of face
wash and/or exfoliation for our face. Why not
our scalp, now you can use ones that are
specifically designed for the scalp or you can
just use one that you would normally use on
your face, as it’s still skin under the hair afterall.
Do exfoliate before you shampoo.
We don’t know about you but having someone
massage our head is a foot in the door of
paradise. A good head massage not only is a
blissful experience, it does your scalp no end of
good. It works in exactly the same way as any
other massage, stimulating blood vessels &
helping the muscles relax. Indeed, do it for
yourself but even better try & find someone
else to treat you.
