Haircutting

Every 6 weeks.

Hair is made of keratin, the same protein that makes up your skin and nails. Just like skin and nails, hair is subject to large amounts of wear and tear that can leave your hair feeling dry and lifeless. If left unattended, this can cause long term damage. Therefore, it is vital to get your hair trimmed regularly.

There are many factors that can influence which haircut suits you, such as face shape, beard styling, and hair texture. Due to the hundreds of different hairstyles for gents, choosing one for you can be intimidating.

Here are a few things to consider when choosing your haircut:

1. The shape of your face. It might not be obvious, but the shape of a man’s face can massively change how a haircut looks. For example, if you have a square-shaped face, then a shorter haircut will draw focus to your jawline whereas a longer style may disguise it.
2. The texture of your hair. Whether you have straight or curly hair will vastly change the appearance of your haircut. This can also affect styling decisions such as the addition of highlights.
3. Your lifestyle. If you work in an office then you may be after a slicked back, low maintenance hair-do such as a combover.
4. Your facial hair. This is more important than it would seem when deciding your haircut. This is because you might be the sort of man who takes pride in a nicely groomed beard, and therefore your hairstyle may need to seamlessly blend into it.
5. Our professional and respected stylists can assist you in finding the right haircut for you.

To avoid damage between haircuts, follow these simple tips:

1. Avoid applying excessive amounts of heat to your hair. This means washing hair in lukewarm water, blow drying your hair on a low heat, and using heat protective products before using heated appliances.
2. Shampoo your hair a minimum of once a week, condition every time you wash your hair, and make moisturising hair masks a staple in your hair care routine.
3. Detangle your hair with a wide toothed comb, and avoid regular brushing.
4. Care for your scalp by giving it a gentle massage every time you wash. This prevents product build up, and encourages blood flow to avoid dryness.
5. Consider adding UV protective products into your routine.

Here are some of our best tips for thin hair: 

1. Choose a hairstyle with minimum layering. Adding lots of layers will make fine hair look even thinner, so longer layers are ideal.
2. Shoulder length haircuts with textured waves can optimise the look of fine hair and give it a fluffier appearance.
3. Very long haircuts can give thin hair a sleek, model-like appeal. This look can be styled easily into a high ponytail, or a slicked back flair.
4. Adding a fringe can enhance the look of fine hair. Frame your face by cutting either a straight fringe, or parted bangs and let the style talk for itself.

The best haircut for curly hair depends entirely on the texture. For example, for tight coils, a shoulder length cut with a loose fringe will create that wild look that professional perms aim to replicate. If you have messy beachy waves, then longer tendrils that run down the length of your back can really highlight their bouncy quality.

Either way, the key to bringing out the best in your curls is layering. This is because the natural weight of curly hair flattens the strands at the bottom, causing an uneven shape. Layers will let them loose.
