The idea that “men don’t care as much about their hair” is a myth (and a rather outdated one at that). There are no gender labels , only routines and good practices to follow.
In fact, prolonged failure to treat problems such as dandruff or itching can accelerate , among other things , the dreaded hair loss .
But there's a solution for everything, and above all, prevention of damage in this easy and quick guide to achieving picture-perfect hair .
We also recommend reading the following article if you suffer from scalp sensitivity .
1) Wash your hair in moderation.
In Spain, most men have short hair. And most also wash their hair every day . Some even several times a day. In that regard, there are several issues to consider: 1) If you're one of those who uses just about anything as shampoo, you should know that unsuitable soaps can strip the scalp of its natural oils, which keep your hair healthy . 2) When you wash your hair too frequently, your scalp can go into "high alert mode" and start producing sebum like crazy to compensate for the loss of natural oils washed away by the soap. This means your hair will look like it's been licked by a cow, and you'll want to wash it even more—a vicious cycle that even the smartest person can't escape.
Below you'll find 3 different shampoo options from STMNT . A brand we really like for its quality, scent, finish… and also because it has somehow rewritten the standards of men's grooming.

2) The conditioner is also for short hair (and beards!)
It might sound like an unnecessary extra step, but conditioner isn't just for shampoo commercials . It really does soften, moisturize, and revitalize your hair —both the hair on your head and your beard. Use it after shampooing, just a pea-sized amount, or a little more if you have long hair, applying it to the ends and leaving it on before rinsing. It only takes a few extra minutes in your daily routine, and the difference is remarkable.
For a smooth finish.
- Prepare the hair for cutting and finishing.
- Hydrating formula with activated charcoal
- for hair and beard
- It restores shine and smooths the hair surface.
- Helps protect against damage caused by the dryer
- With menthol for an extra cooling sensation
- Silicone oil free
- Premium fragrance: fresh citrus and lavender with tonka bean
How to apply it?
Apply to washed, damp hair. Rinse well. Can be used daily.
3) Clear well
Just as it's important to take a few minutes to gently massage your scalp while shampooing (which is great for stimulating hair growth), it's vital for your hair's health to rinse it out thoroughly. Otherwise, product residue can clog hair follicles, hindering growth and exacerbating problems like hair loss, dandruff, dullness, and itching.
4) Drying is not rubbing hard
As much as you might want to show off your progress at the gym, you don't need to do it by rubbing your hair with a towel with all your might. No way. Gently wrap your hair in a towel to remove excess moisture. Leave it for a while, then gently squeeze it with your open hands , using light tapping motions.
5) Either in the open air or with a protector
If you use a hairdryer, get into the habit of using a heat protectant beforehand. Your hair will thank you. Use a medium heat setting and a diffuser if you have wavy hair.
On the right, the STYLING SPRAY . Nomad Barber Grooming Spray
Its non-sticky formula provides a light hold without being sticky, and a natural finish with a thicker hair feel.
It makes styling and blow-drying easier.
6) Use a good styling product
Wax, pomade, gel, spray… The world of styling products is vast. Choose one that works for your style and hair type. Just be sure to use a tiny bit, as much as the packaging indicates. If you apply the product to your hands first and then to your hair, it not only distributes better, but you also use less and avoid that dreaded stiff look.
