There are many tools tailored to men's hair needs.
To many men, doing their hair means a quick wash and -- if the ladies who love them are lucky -- a quick run though with a comb. While the short styles most commonly worn by men are easy to tend to, there are some products men should consider putting to use. These products make caring for hair easier, as well as allow these short locks to look their best.
Comb
The most basic tool in a man's hair care arsenal is a comb. While some men with very short hair forgo combing altogether, doing so may be a major mistake. Keep a comb handy and run it through your hair daily. Even if the hair isn't tangled, the use of a comb can redistribute natural oils, giving your hair a glossier look.
Clippers
When it comes to cutting men's hair, clippers reign supreme. With a simple set of clippers and some plastic guards that allow for cutting at various lengths, you can likely more effectively tackle cutting your own hair, or having a loved one cut it for you.
Thinning Sheers
While some men worry about their hair thinning, others have an excessively bushy mop they feel unable to tame. If your hair is overly bushy, ask your barber to use some thinning sheers. These specially designed scissors remove some of the bulk from hair, allowing it to look more sleek.
Razor Cutters
Men seeking spiky haircuts will be more able to create them with razor cutters. These cutting devices that resemble a standard razor create a crisp edge to the cut hair, allowing you to spike up more effectively.
Anti-Dandruff Shampoo
Because men often wear their hair short, even a little bit of dandruff is often noticeable. If you have any flakes at all, get rid of them by trading in your standard shampoo for an anti-dandruff option.
Thinning-Hair Lotions
Men whose hair is not as thick as it once was may not have to simply deal with this hair loss. Instead, they can apply thinning-hair lotions. An assortment of products of this type are available to men. Each contain proteins that promote hair growth, potentially putting a stop to that spreading bald spot.
Conditioner
Though many men don't use conditioner, they certainly should give it a try. By applying some conditioner after shampooing, you can add some shine to your style and prevent the starting of split ends.
Mousse
Men who seek a full-bodied style should turn to mousse. By applying some mousse after washing, you can give your hair a bit more volume, helping your do look even better.
Wax
If seeking a highly structured style, wax can help create and maintain the look you are after. Apply wax to your hair if you intend to spike it out or create any other bold and gravity-defying hair style.
Hair Coloring
Women aren't the only ones who can turn back the hands of time with hair coloring. Men, too, can use hair color to give themselves a younger, more vital look. While you can use almost any hair coloring you wish -- even if it is intended for women -- some companies offer hair coloring specifically for guys.
