Men's Hair and Beard Care Routine: Your Essential Guide

The Perfect Guide To Healthy, Happy Hair!

Following your haircut, you need to maintain a routine to keep everything healthy and well-maintained before your next visit.

Finding the right balance in your grooming routine is essential for both your hair and beard. Keeping them clean and nourished is key to looking your best. Here are our recommendations below, to get on the right path to amazing hair.

1. Find Out Your Hair and Beard Needs
Every man’s hair and beard are different. Factors like hair type and lifestyle influence how often you should wash them. A healthy scalp supports hair growth, while a clean beard prevents irritation.

If you don’t know where to start, ask your barber and they will be able to advise on your current situation - especially for each step below.

Alternatively, you can book a Re-style session with one of our team and receive a thorough consultation for all of your hair needs.

2. Shampoo and Conditioner
Washing your hair too frequently can strip natural oils. If you have oily hair, you may need to wash daily, but dry hair types can stick to two or three times a week. For your beard, use a dedicated beard wash to clean it without irritation.

3. Choosing the Right Products
Opt for shampoos and conditioners tailored for your hair and beard. Beard-specific products help soften coarse hair. Adding beard oil or balm keeps your facial hair moisturised and manageable.

4. Simple Washing Routine
Follow these steps for effective cleansing:

• Wet your hair and beard.

• Apply beard shampoo and massage gently, reaching the skin underneath.

• Rinse thoroughly, then use beard conditioner for added softness.

• Rinse again and pat dry to avoid damage.

5. Importance of Conditioning
Conditioning is crucial for maintaining softness and preventing dry skin and split ends. Choose products with natural ingredients like argan or jojoba oil for best results.

6. Stay Hydrated
Hydration is key for healthy hair and beard. Drink plenty of water and moisturise the skin beneath your beard to avoid dryness.

7. Styling Products
Once clean and conditioned, explore styling options. Beard butter gives a soft finish, while balm offers hold, enhancing your overall look.

We recommend the Hanz de Fuko brand, as they have high-quality ingredients and produce amazing results for our barber shop clients.

8. Observe and Adjust
Pay attention to how your hair and beard react. If you experience itchiness or dryness, adjust your washing routine or try different products to find what works for you.
