How to care for your hair as a man
It’s important for men to take care of their hair regularly. Whether you're looking for density, strength, balance or purity, discover the expert men’s hair duos that are right for you, for better long-term hair health.
Good habits for caring for men’s hair
Understand your problems and needs
Hair loss, often due to genetics, is one of the main problems affecting men’s hair. 80% of men experience thinning hair, a phenomenon that affects almost a third of them before the age of 30*.
Men also tend to secrete more sebum, which speeds up scalp renewal and gives the appearance of greasy hair.
In general, dandruff is more common in men, who can be 2 to 6 times more affected than women, which is why it’s important to choose targeted hair care products.
Choose expert, targeted hair care for men
Each hair type has its own dedicated expert solution.
Thinning hair or hair loss
Massage your scalp before or during shampooing to increase microcirculation and strengthen hair anchorage. As part of your daily routine, use a shampoo designed for thinning hair and opt for an anti-hair loss serum for an intensive treatment.
Hair with dandruff
To treat dandruff, use a sulphate-free anti-dandruff shampoo to gently cleanse and instantly target dandruff. Follow this up with an intensive treatment to rebalance the scalp. If you wear a hat every day, leave your hair uncovered every other day to let the air in and avoid suffocating the scalp.
Hair that tends to get greasy
Does your hair get greasy quickly? Choose a purifying shampoo and avoid running your hand through your hair too much.
Residues from styling products and pollution can also build up on the scalp, making it greasy. A purifying hair care ritual will deeply cleanse and revitalise your hair.
Curly and textured hair
Curly or textured hair is more prone to dryness because its spiral structure and low follicle density limit sebum production and distribution. Try a nourishing shampoo and a hair mask at least once a week.
When styling your hair, apply a cream if your hair is wavy or curly, or a gel if your hair is more wavy, to create nice, well-defined curls and no frizz.
Protect your hair every day
To maintain your hair's condition and appearance, you must protect it daily against the damaging effects of the sun and external aggressors such as pollution, humidity, salt and chlorine with a targeted protective treatment that acts as a shield.
If you regularly use a hairdryer or other heated appliances, a restorative and thermo-protective product will help keep your hair in top condition.
