10 EASY LONG STEPS…
1. If you have started getting coarse hair then start using texturizing kit like Sporting Waves, Duke, S-Curl etc…Allow hair to dry use a hair dryer or just use air drier to dry it.
2. Add some amount of hair grease.
3. Soak a towel/cloth with Hot water. Wring well.
4. Place towel/cloth on your head for about 1 minute or until cloth get cold. Repeat twice and apply pressure so that the pomade can melt into your hair.
5. Brush your hair at the crown area. Make sure you brush your hair evenly around in the direction it grows.
6. Now tie hair down with a du-rag/wavecap, its best before you go to bed. Also anytime is good but just keep it for about 30 minutes before you go out.
7. Repeat this process 1-2 times a day: make sure you don’t wear your du-rag to much because then your hair can break and you can begin lose of your hairs.
8. Do not brush after you take wave cap off but if you have to buy some oil sheen hold about 6 inches away and spray the perimeter then take a soft brush and use the side of the bristles to lay down the sheen so it can look brand new every time you go out, don’t shampoo or wet hair for about 1-2 weeks because once the your waves are wet they become loose. The longer you go without shampooing the better your waves will set and if you need to wet your hair buy two wave caps one you wear out and too sleep and the other to take showers with it, this causes it too get wet but it wont can’t loosen up because it’s tied down and make sure when you do that you pull the back of the wave cap so you can wring the water out your hair that’s optional but it does work.
9. Do not get a haircut for 2-3 weeks. You may get a shape-up/lineup, but No Hair Cut!
10. Finally after you get waves after about 3 weeks total. Get a Haircut.
Reminder: Getting waves needs lots of hard work as you can’t get instant waves.

It’s not just our clothes that say’s a lot about our personalities, hair styles also speak volumes. Since these days’ men have greater liberty to style their hair, a lot of new styles are coming up.
The faux-hawk is a classier twist to the punk-rock inspired Mohawk. The hair on top of the head is combed upward to resemble a small fan, while the hair on the sides is kept short and tidy. Many men with this style opt to incorporate highlights to their hair, but the monochromatic, looks perfect
The messy and textured look is visible in a assortment of ways. With a clean-cut, classic men’s haircut, add some extreme texture to the top in order to up the style ante. This look is achieved with a neat, organized cut at the back and a longer cut at the top — rub some pomade through it and push the bangs to one side to get that messy, Beckham-inspired result.
Long y locks guys with curly hair find the long and disheveled look to be their latest option. All you need is a little mousse or pomade to work in the curls.
Long & Layered the straight haired guys can try this look. Messy but structured, this top heavy layered look is virtually maintenance free. The beauty of this style is it is supposed to look like you haven’t put any effort into it.
Buzzcut by far the easiest cut by far, this simple selection does a great job of making the jaw-line look stronger, hiding receding hairlines and bald spots. Hair is cut with clippers to a uniform length all over the head.
Caesar cut it’s a cut for the young guys it is traditionally short all over with the bangs pushed forward and upward. To maintain the Caesar cut the whole day apply a mixture of gel and styling mousse.
High and Tight has a great fan following both by celebs and the mere mortals. The sides are shaved completely free of hair. The top is generally cut in a short flat top, or buzzed to around 1/7 or ¼ inch. The high and tight is a fairly standard cut for US Marines.

Remember those days when the only issue you had with your hair was your parents constant harassing to have it cut short. Well those days are long gone; the problems now is Hair loss.
Yeah these two little words have the capacity to strike terror in even the most confident man. The frightening truth is hair loss can result in complete baldness in a couple of years only.
But take heart guys, you are not the only ones with this problem, about 40 million men in America today suffer from abnormal hair loss. If you have thinning hair or are suffering from chronic hair loss, then get in touch with an expert immediately.
The reasons for hair loss can be many but the most common are:
Genetic
Genetic hair loss is one of the most common reasons for hair loss. In this case the main problem is not that there is an excessive amount of hair fall but there is insufficient amount of hair growing back. Factors like gender, age, and hormones play a big role in these cases.
Stress Related
An overload of physical or emotional stress, also leads to hair loss. In this case, your hair stops growing, lying dormant (So bust the stress so it can restart growing again). Another problem in this type of hair loss is a condition in which your white blood cells will attack your hair follicles. This is harder to control and may need treatment.
Illness Related
Suffering from an illness can also cause hair loss. This can be of the chronic variety or otherwise. Virtually any illness has the capability of triggering a hair loss. These illnesses could be malnutrition, cancer, thyroid disorders, zinc deficiency, cellulites etc.
Male Pattern Baldness
Increased sensitivity to androgens causes androgenic alopecia or male pattern baldness. This condition is passed from one generation to another. (So yeah if your dad was bald by the time you grew up, you will also likely lose those precious locks)It is common hair problem affecting guys and nearly impossible to reverse.

Most of you will be very familiar with labeling of the shampoos and conditioner such as “oily hair”, “normal to dry”, “color-treated” hair etc. But how many do actually choose the right product for your hair? Check out the meanings and choose the one that best applies to your hair.
Normal hair: if you have normal hair, you may often notice a bit of oil buildup on the scalp at the end of the day. So choose a shampoo made for hair that is “normal to oily” along with a mild conditioner.
Dry hair: If you hair has a tendency to be dry occasionally, choose a “normal to dry” shampoo paired with a “regular” conditioner.
Oily hair: If you feel your scalp becoming oilier as the day progresses, choose a shampoo for “oily hair” to avoid the greasy look. Go for a light conditioner for oily hair. Avoid conditioning your roots if the hair is oily.
Colored hair: The color-treated hair locks are more brittle. So, choose a shampoo and a conditioner appropriate for “chemically-treated” hair. Apply the conditioner to the tips of your hair and then work up toward your roots.

Nose and ear hair trimming can be at times annoying. You can’t escape it because it looks awkward to have hair in your body which is a turn-off. Nose and ear hair trimming sessions can be less frustrating by the appropriate use of your scissors or the nose and ear hair trimmers. Here is how to do it.
Trimming hair in these delicate body parts can be frustrating because one mistake and you end up in intense pain. So, carry on the ear and nose manicure sessions in the morning, when your mind is fresh and alert.
Before trimming down the hair, clean your ears and nose thoroughly. This will separate the hair from the walls of your ears and nose.
Don’t carry out the trimming session in dim light. Throw light where you are trimming to avoid errors while plucking the hair.
You should use a magnifier mirror to spot the hair in these delicate parts. To avoid bloody mess and painful cut on the skin, take help of a magnifier so that you could see clearly what you are doing.
Better substitutes of scissors are electric ear and nose hair trimmers. These are small machines with rotary or oscillating blades which remove the hair without causing much pain. However, you should take precautions while using these hair trimmers because chances are there you may remove too much hair.
Tweezers to pluck ear and nose hair are no-no. They inflame the nasal cavity causing discomfort. This may even lead to infection.
When you don’t find the hair removers satisfactory, use your scissors with precaution. A wrong move can cause a permanent scar. If your scissors are sharp, do not pluck the hairs too hard.
Be extra cautious while trimming the hair in your ears and nose. They in fact protect your body. Nose hair serves the function of capturing aromas in the nasal cavity to be processed and warms the cold air that gets breathed in through the nose.
Next time when you trim down the nasal hair and the hair in your ears, remember that they are there for good. So, only remove the hair that is visible to someone who is not gazing into your nose or inside of your ear.

The past weekend you took out time from your schedule to get a trim. Now, you want to get another haircut! But why? Is it the time for another haircut? Look at your hairline first and confirm why you want to get regular trims. Here are some steps you should follow to minimize your visits to the salon.
Look at your neckline: One of the obvious reasons why you need a trim is the messy hairline on the back of your neck. Keep your neckline neat. If you maintain this, you won’t have to visit the salon for several weeks.
Clean your neckline: Use non-professional version of electric clippers to clean up the hair on the back of your neck. You can trim hair using the hair length attachment, which gently shortens the straggling hairs and makes a neater line. Make sure you don’t shave the hairline itself. Trim the hairline once in every six weeks.
Clean up the sideburns: Buy a pair of scissors along with the electric clipper. Stand in front of the wall mirror with your scissors in one hand and a small comb on the other. Before cleaning the sideburns, comb each sideburn towards the back of your head and ears and then forward. Keep the scissors facing up towards the sideburn at a 45 degree angle. Chop the irregular sideburns. Cut only one or two hairs each time until you have cleaned up the entire sideburn. Your sideburns should be trimmed once a week.
After doing the above two simple steps, I am sure you won’t have to go trims regularly.
