Hairstyling is a key part of a man's look, and it only takes a small mistake to turn a flawless hairstyle into a creepy look worthy of a horror movie. Even the most fashionable cut or the highest performing product can do damage if used in the wrong way. Here you can find the three scary mistakes never to make when it comes to hairstyling.
Choosing a cut that doesn't fit your face shape
One of the most common mistakes, but also one of the most serious, is choosing a haircut without considering your face shape. A hairstyle that might look great on a celebrity or friend may not necessarily have the same effect on you. The number one rule of men's hairstyling is balancing with your facial features and enhancing them accordingly. For example, a round face may require a cut that gives height and structure, such as a pompadour or burst taper, while an elongated face benefits from a cut with side volume (e.g., French crop, messy cut, or caesar cut). Consult a professional barber who can advise you based on your face shape to avoid a mistake that could last several weeks.
Neglecting hair health
One of the worst mistakes to avoid is thinking only about aesthetics and forgetting about hair health. Using too many hot tools without heat protection, such as blow dryers or straighteners, or choosing shampoos that are too harsh, can weaken hair over time, making it dry, brittle and dull. Our Delicate Cleansing Fluid and Energizing Scalp Lotion can be very helpful in taking care of both your hair and your scalp, all in a fresh, delicate setting scented with tomato leaf and peppermint. An unbalanced diet or stress can also affect hair health. Taking care of hair is the first step to successful styling: always use moisturizing and nourishing products, and try to limit excessive use of tools that can somehow stress the hair. Taking care of your hair with regular treatments ensures that it stays strong and shiny, ready for any type of hairstyle. .

Using too much product (or too little)
Using hair products is crucial to achieving the desired style, but it is equally important not to overdo it. Using an over amount of product can weigh hair down and make it look greasy, completely ruining the look. On the other hand, using an insufficient amount of product may not give hair the hold or definition it needs, leaving it flat or messy. The right amount depends on the type of product and the length of your hair. A helpful tip is to always start with a small amount and gradually add as needed. The choice of product is also crucial to achieve the desired effect: our High Definition Glossy Pomade, applied on damp hair, is perfect for very shiny, super-defined looks; on dry hair, on the other hand, the Matt Wax Strong Adhesion and Natural Effect Molding Paste give a matt look with sculpted locks and a look with more natural hair movement, respectively.
