How to grow hair for a man? Detailed advice

1. DON’T LOSE YOUR HAIR

This is the basic advice we give to all men who want to grow their hair out to look like celebrity. You need strong, healthy hair that hangs well on your head.  These will serve as best they can to hide your baldness and probably to make you look ridiculous.

2. HAVE ENOUGH THICK HAIR

The second tip is related to the nature of your hair. If you are projecting yourself with long hair, make sure it is relatively thick and voluminous. Conversely, if you have fine hair: the longer it is, the heavier it becomes and consequently causes a flat, smooth and stiff effect which is to be avoided if you are a trendy man.

3. BENEFIT FROM MORPHOLOGY  ADAPTED

Before you let them grow out, consider whether a long haircut would suit your face shape. More generally, which haircut is best suited to your face shape? This is called morpho-hairstyle (the art of choosing a haircut according to the morphology of your face).

Square, round, triangular, diamond, hexagonal or oval face… know that your hair must be worked and designed to be able to soften the exacerbated characteristics of your face. For example, if you have a round face and as a bonus you are not very tall, you will try to slim down and grow taller by gaining volume on the top to lengthen your face and your figure. Note that if you have an oval face, this is the ideal body shape for testing different cuts and especially for wearing long hair.

4. ARMING WITH PATIENCE AND WILL

You will indeed need a lot of patience and willpower to achieve the desired result. Our hair grows on average barely one centimeter per month. So if you want them on your shoulders, I’ll let you do the math.

5. KNOW HOW TO ASSUME THE DIFFERENT STEPS OF TRANSITION

If you start from scratch, that is to say with very short hair, you are not at the end of your troubles. You will go through different phases and especially by different improbable and unusual haircuts that you will have to assume in front of your friends. A tip: don’t hesitate to wear caps and hats when you go out. This will have the merit of hiding misery and even taming your hair by flattening it back for example.

6. APPLY REGULAR CARE 

Growing hair needs nourishment to keep growing. They also need to be protected to fight against external aggressions such as the cold, the sun or pollution. To do this, use a fortifying shampoo such as Pétrole Hahn Force Green or Blue. At the same time, do not hesitate to carry out treatments once or twice a week, for example by adopting a moisturizing and repairing conditioner. Finally, don’t forget to gently massage the scalp in the shower to activate blood circulation and boost hair growth.

7. GOOD NUTRITION TO PROMOTE GROWTH

Nourishing your hair also involves eating a healthy and balanced nutrition. The famous 5 fruits and vegetables per day happily contribute to the growth and good health of our hair. Also favor protein foods such as fish, cereals (such as muesli, couscous, wholemeal bread), eggs and lentils.

8. STAY FAITHFUL TO YOUR HAIRDRESSER

It is difficult to give such advice, but you will still need to visit the hairdresser to regularly trim your growing hair. Make an appointment every 2 months for example. First, it allows you to cut damaged tips and restore structure to your cut. Second, it helps give a boost to hair growth that tends to tire when not taken care of.

9. TREAT YOUR BEARD

You cannot have two sites at the same time on the same head. So if you grow your hair out, make sure you keep a clean, structured beard. Either you stay clean shaven, or you take special care of your beard. Otherwise, another tip: evolve your beard at the same time as your haircut. So people will focus a little less on your hair during transitions.

10. FIND SIZE SUPPORT IN YOUR SURROUNDINGS

Growing your hair is a long process that takes care, self-sacrifice and courage. In this sort of “aesthetic test”, you are going to need encouragement and support from those close to you not to give up and go back to your traditional haircut. So do not hesitate to talk about it around you, discuss the subject and even ask for advice from those who have succeeded in growing their hair.

It is clear that there are criteria and steps to follow when a man wants to grow his hair. It is considered by some as a long initiatory journey, a learning strewn with pitfalls that requires will and strength of character. Once the result is obtained, you can only be proud of yourself!
