How to Maintain Your Haircut Between Visits
Keeping your hair looking fresh between barber visits can be a challenge, but with the right techniques
and tools, it's definitely achievable. Here are some tips from Mattie The Barber on how to maintain
your haircut and keep that just-left-the-barbershop look going for longer.
Touch-Ups at Home
If you're noticing your hair starting to lose its shape, a quick touch-up at home can make all the difference.
Here's how:
- Invest in Quality Tools: A good pair of hair clippers and a detail trimmer are essential for at-home maintenance.
- Trimming the Edges: Use the detail trimmer to clean up the edges around your ears and neck. Be careful not to go too high or alter the original haircut's lines.
- Keep it Even: If you're brave enough to trim the top, use a comb and scissors to lightly snip the ends, maintaining the haircut's shape.
Product Use
Using the right hair products can significantly extend the life of your haircut:
- Styling Products: Use a pomade or clay for hold and style. These products can help manage unruly hair and keep your hairstyle in place longer.
- Conditioning: Regular use of conditioner keeps your hair healthy and manageable, making it easier to style.
- Dry Shampoo: Between washes, use dry shampoo to absorb excess oil and add volume to your hair.
Managing Hair Growth
As your hair grows, there are ways to keep it looking neat and intentional:
- Embrace the Growth: Use styling products to adapt your hairstyle as your hair grows. Sometimes, a little length adds a new dimension to your look.
- Regular Washes: Keeping your hair clean helps it grow out looking healthy and manageable.
- Visit Your Barber for Advice: If you're unsure about managing your hair growth, a quick consultation with your barber can provide personalized tips tailored to your hair type and style.
With these tips from Mattie The Barber, you can extend the life of your haircut and keep looking sharp between visits. Remember, a little effort goes a long way in maintaining your hairstyle.
