You Style Your Long Hair Like It’s Short

Yes, yes, we get it, you’ve grown your hair out. But that doesn’t mean you can let it all hang out.

“The longer the hair gets, the more susceptible it is to looking limp and lifeless,” says Alex Glover, master barber at Murdock. To avoid all your hard work going to waste, remember to shampoo and condition your hair regularly – perhaps more regularly than you did when it was short.

“If you have curly or frizzy hair, sometimes conditioner alone can suffice,” says Glover. This helps to replace any lost moisture. Other than that, remember to use soft and lightweight products to style your hair – crème waxes work well as they add a healthy finish to long hair without weighing it down.

You’re Not Dealing With Your Thinning Hair Correctly

Sorry, gents – it’s going to happen to most of us one day, so better nip this in the bud and not make any faux(licle) pas. Thinning hair’s enemy number one? Heavy styling products.

“Stick to lighter finishing products, and ask your barber to take your hair shorter – shorter styles will let the hair stick firmer and stronger,” says Glover. So, ditch the hair wax for moulding cream and chuck the paste for some sea salt spray – the latter of which “allows you to achieve more creative styles, with texture and a level of grittiness which helps to build natural volume.” Sold.
