Today, more than ever, men are exploring the range of their hair. With an array of styles like the low fade to cornrows, men are having the time of their life discovering the versatility of what was once mundane and routine. Current hair trends speak to the growing authority people are taking with their authenticity. Being creative with a hairstyle is about self-expression, but it is also showing up to space and taking up space. No longer are men confined to the traditionalism of a professional look. They are taking their natural curl patterns and the artistic influence of their barber to redefine what is “proper and presentable.”
To uphold this freedom of hair expression, continued maintenance is of mass importance. Do you think those curls are going to keep popping on their own? No sir! With so many products on the market that cater to natural hair, there is a list of options to choose from when seeking to ensure your hair is always on point. Here are a few tips to make sure your hair is the least of your worries.
Wash and condition
Greatly styled hair begins with clean hair. Find a sulfate and paraben-free shampoo that will not rip out all the moisture from your hair. Also, find a deep conditioner for more intense wash days and a leave-in conditioner for more consistent use.
Choose your style wisely
Whether you are sporting deep ocean waves or kicky coil twists, how you style your hair takes time and attention. Be sure to use products that aren’t too oily and that won't compromise the look you desire. Once styled, leave it alone. I know you looked in the mirror and were amazed by what you saw, but constantly touching your hair over and over can damage your follicles.
Protect your style at night
The durag is a staple in communities of color. It is the men’s equivalent to the bonnet. However, as hair trends have evolved, the durag is not the only option for men. Loc caps, satin covers, and even bonnets for men are all viable options for overnight protection. Put that pride aside, bro, and secure the glory of your crown.
Your hair is a part of who you are. It is a visible expression of your identity. Make sure you uphold the sanctity of all that it represents, and for God’s sake, don’t let anyone touch your hair.
