1. The Power of Heat Direction
Most men attempt to style dry, unruly hair by slapping on heavy pomades, which weighs hair down and exposes the scalp. Instead, use a blow dryer on towel-damp hair. Use your fingers or a vented brush to direct hair exactly where you want it to lay.
By using the air stream to establish direction, you will need 70% less styling product, resulting in a natural, matte, touchable finish that won't flake or feel greasy by 3:00 PM.
If you have fine hair, opt for a lightweight styling powder or sea salt spray. If you have thick, stubborn hair, warm a nickel-sized amount of matte clay between your palms until translucent before working it from roots to tips.
2. Managing the Mid-Cycle Phase
Around day 14 to 21, the hair around your neck and sideburns will begin to soften. At Ritz Ancaster, you can easily stop by or book a quick line-up service between full haircuts. In fifteen minutes, your barber will edge your perimeter and razor your neck, extending your cut for another two weeks.
