Guys, let your hair Shine!

When it comes to hair, the general assumption is women invest hours of their time on hair. While this may be true, men too do pay attention to their hair… at least the men with good hair.

Men’s hairstyles vary as much as women’s. Usually, for men, the hair style depends on the hair type. Popular styles for men include the close cut shave (see Usher above), the mohawk, the afro and the dreadlocks.

Here are some general hair tips for African men. These are basic tips that apply to all hair styles.

• Black men’s hair tend to dry easily, so it is important to use products that provide moisture to the hair.

• Choose products that contain natural oils and moisturisers.

• Never brush hair while it is wet. This strains and could damages hair follicles and can eventually lead to early breakage and damage. You do not want to go bald.

• Always keep hair clean.
