What changes do I need to make if I get a hair system?
Changes are minimal. However for most men, the ‘do nots’ are unlikely to affect day-to-day anyway, however we have detailed these below:
- Washing and conditioning: Use conditioner regularly with infrequent shampooing (most clients wash once or twice monthly. The conditioner maintains the softness whereas shampoo will damage the hair system if used too frequently.
- Avoiding Heat Damage: While it’s unlikely that most men will use heat to style, avoid this where possible.
- Brushing: This isn’t strictly true. Brushing is fine, however aggressive and regular brushing or styling with too much force isn’t ideal and this will shorten the lifetime of the hair system.
