Haircare is important as you melon is always on display unless you are wearing a hat. Shampoo and conditioner need to be part of your daily routine. When showering at night, make sure to wash and condition your hair and dry it before bed. This is important to remove the hair product from your hair and keep it looking nice and healthy. It keeps your pillow clean and your hair soft. Important for when your girlfriend is running her hands through it.
Dandruff
Scalp problems are common and the most embarrassing of these is dandruff. When your skin dries out it leaves dry flaky skin in your hair. This normally occurs when you don’t look after your hair properly.
This is particularly a problem for boys with dark hair as it sticks out more. This stuff can also dust your clothes and make you an instant target for bullying. Throughout the day check the shoulders of your t-shirt and dust off the dandruff.
Luckily, it’s an easy fix. There are plenty of good anti-dandruff shampoos on the market. Don’t be embarrassed to buy it as it’s more embarrassing to have the condition. This is also a time to get your parents to step in and take one for the team. Get them to buy it for you.
Hairstyle
Your hairstyle defines the image you project to the world. Choose a hairstyle you can pull off and are comfortable wearing. Own it like you were born to it and if any slapnuts gives you shit about it, bite right back. Have confidence in yourself and what you are doing. If you don’t feel confident, don’t put yourself out there until you do. You need to build your confidence a brick at a time.
If you are not confident about your hair, the easiest option is the short, back and sides. This style is always in fashion and won’t raise any eyebrows. Being an individual is cool, and parents and teachers tell you to express your creativity and individuality but if that means dying your hair blue, be ready for the heat it might bring. If you have the confidence to pull it off there is no problem. If you can’t take shit and give it back, you might be better off going for the normal short cut.
Your hair can say a lot about you as a person. How you present yourself determines how other people react to you. They might be intimidated or make judgments about your personality. This can work in your favour in the school yard but might hurt your chances when you apply for a job. Think about what you want to achieve with your look.
If you have a large set of nuts and you can take the flak that come from a crazy hairstyle, then give it a go. It makes you stand out in the crowd which is great for approaching girls. You just need to own it. Look at the NRL and AFL players or your favourite streamer for inspiration.
Neck Hair
Neck hair looks untidy. Buy yourself a cheap pair of clippers and ask a friend or a family member to keep the back of your neck looking fresh. This should be done between haircuts.
Try for a haircut at least once a month if you can afford it.
Hair Product
Product is important. A good wax lets you style your hair into designs that last through the day.
1: Take a small amount the size of a coin and rub between your hands. You don’t want gobs of wax visible in your hair.
2: Use your fingers to style your hair.
3: It is important to wash that shit out at the end of the day as it stains your pillow and doesn’t allow your hair to breathe (cause of dandruff).
