Several hair hacks can be found online. Few of them don’t even work and are ineffective. But still, these tricks can be handy at times.

So here are the “#5-Must know hair hacks for Men in 2021”

#1-Replace Shampoo with a Conditioner

Don’t shampoo every day. Regular shampooing can be bad for your hair. Shampoo tends to remove the natural oils present on your scalp. So if you shampoo every day your scalp will produce more than the required oil, to cover the oil that has been stripped off by the shampoo.

This overproduction of oil on the scalp can make your hair dirty and greasy. Plus it can even result in dandruff. So try to reduce the usage of shampoo by replacing it with a conditioner.

Note:- I am not saying, that you should completely replace shampoo with a conditioner. That would be absurd because a conditioner doesn’t clean the dirt present in your hair. It only makes your hair shiny and soft. So, in short, reduce the frequency of shampoo by using a conditioner. So wash your hair twice a week with the shampoo (i.e alternate days) then use the conditioner whenever your hair gets messy or greasy. (2 times at most).

Following conditioners were proven to be effective for good Hair Care-

#2-Wet Wash Cloth

So you are just out of bed and you are like ‘shit I’ve gotta hurry for the meeting ‘ but your hair is dry and completely messed up, so the first thing you’ll try to do is apply some product or water and try to set things just to make it right, in the worst case possible you’ll try to hide it with a monkey cap, hat or something. So here’s what you can do. Take a washcloth and make it wet. Then use the damp washcloth to pat your head. And do not be rough. Do this simple thing and you are good to go.

#3-Dry Shampoo

Okay at this point most of you would know what dry shampoo is. So as we discussed earlier shampoo can be bad for your hair. We also saw that we cannot completely rely on the conditioner as a replacement for shampoo. This is when a dry shampoo can be a lifesaver. What dry shampoo does is simple,  the alcohol or starch in the product soaks up the excess oil and grease in your hair, giving it a cleaner, fresher appearance. Dry shampoo can be very helpful for styling your hair and make you event-ready. The only thing that you have to take care of dry shampoo is the amount of usage. So use your dry shampoo only twice between two sessions of wet washes and not more for good outcomes. With the things sorted out

  • Massage the scalp to spread the product to all the roots.

#4-Apple Cider Vinegar Spray

Apple cider vinegar is one of those things that can do wonders for your hair. Apple cider vinegar can improve scalp health, strengthen hair, and enhance shine. It can also be very helpful in preventing dandruff as it sets the ph balance of your scalp.

So here’s what you have to do. Take a small spray bottle and fill the quarter of it with the apple cider vinegar and the rest with the water. Use this twice a week or thrice depending on your scalp condition. So just get in the shower and rinse your hair with the shampoo then come out wait for some time and spray a little bit of apple cider vinegar. Then chill out for a while and rinse it afterward. You can use a conditioner for washing out the apple cider vinegar for better results. Purchase only those kinds of vinegar that are labeled – organic, raw, and unfiltered. These tend to be cloudy and have sediment in the bottom, known as ‘The Mother’ – which contains all the bacteria and enzymes that make this product so powerful.

Or if you want to avoid all the fuss and time, then you could simply go for a paraben and sulfate-free apple cider-shampoo like the one mentioned below-
