Why At-Home Haircare Matters
A great haircut is only the beginning. To keep your style sharp and your hair healthy between appointments, you need a solid at-home haircare routine. At Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing, we believe grooming doesn't stop at the salon. With the right tools and habits, you can maintain a fresh, salon-worthy look every day.
Here are the key haircare essentials every man should have and use.
1. Use the Right Shampoo and Conditioner
Men often underestimate the impact of quality hair products. Using harsh, all-purpose shampoos can dry out your scalp and damage your style. Choose sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners designed for your hair type whether it's curly, dry, oily, or thinning.
At Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing, we offer product recommendations tailored to your specific hair needs after every appointment.
2. Invest in a Styling Product That Works for You
Not every hair product is created equal. Pomades, clays, gels, and sprays each serve a purpose, and choosing the right one depends on your hairstyle.
-
Pomade: Great for sleek, shiny styles
-
Clay: Ideal for messy, textured looks
-
Gel: Strong hold for structured styles
-
Spray: Light finishing for added volume
Our team at Allan’s Men’s Hairdressing can show you how to use each product based on your hair type and desired finish.
3. Don’t Skip the Drying Process
Wet hair is fragile, and how you dry it matters. Instead of rubbing it aggressively with a towel, pat it dry gently or use a hair dryer on a low-heat setting for better styling results and less breakage.
Drying your hair properly also helps styling products work more effectively.
4. Trim and Touch-Up
Even the best haircut needs a little upkeep. Use a small trimmer or scissors to tidy up sideburns, neckline, or overgrown edges—especially if your next salon visit is still a week or two away.

Pro Tip: Don’t Overdo It
Washing your hair too often or overloading it with product can lead to build-up and dullness. Less is more. Focus on quality, consistency, and moderation to keep your hair looking and feeling its best.
