According to Santiago, here are the three biggest errors that men make in terms of ensuring good hair days on the regular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Look, even if you\u2019ve got a crew cut or a slightly grown out buzz cut, that doesn\u2019t mean you should skirt on hair product. Instead, just a pinch of product can give you the intentionality that comes with any hair style. \u201cHaving a go to product that\u2019s easy and quick to use will help achieve good day hair goals,\u201d says Santiago. It helps you say \u201cI chose this look and I know how to maximize it\u201d as opposed to \u201cI\u2019m just kinda taking the easy way out here, which requires no effort\u201d. Add a pinch of texture to that cut, or a hearty shine, or tamp down the corners so your hair doesn\u2019t balloon. If you\u2019ve got long hair, make sure you double down on smoothing stylers if the strands are thick or straight, and on extremely hydrating products if you\u2019re curly or coiled. There\u2019s a product for everyone out there\u2014maybe three or four even, if you want a roster of looks up your sleeve\u2014so don\u2019t short change yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few weeks can transform a hairstyle of any length, notes Santiago\u2014and with that comes new rules for how to style the hair. Even long styles will wear differently from one month to the next, so Santiago urges guys to visit the barber or salon regularly (every 6-8 weeks is standard for styles over a couple inches, while anything shorter should visit more frequently). \u201cMaintaining your style is much easier when your hair is at the length you like,\u201d she adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Echoing the importance of regular haircuts, Santiago sees lots of guys have no idea what to do with their cowlick. This will change depending on hair texture and length, as well as cowlick placement and pattern. But Santiago notes that having the proper cut will help you smooth and style your cowlick, because this is one of the first indicators that your hair is well past due for a cleanup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Blow drying is one of the best ways to get control over your hairstyle, as it helps fully activate the hair product and lock a style in place for longer (even if it\u2019s a relaxed and low-hold product you\u2019re using). However, in order to get the most of your hair dryer, follow these few simple rules, or else you risk frying the strands and enduring frizz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
