Long hair used to belong in the counter-culture. Only hippies and weirdos had hair down to or below their shoulders. Today, long hair has become more prevalent. Plenty of celebrities sport long styles that look freaking amazing on them. You can even find prominent CEOs walking around LA and San Francisco with hair blowing in the wind.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the deal, though. When you have long hair, you have to take care of it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Follow these styling tips for guys with long hair to make sure you maintain a gorgeous, healthy mane that women will want to run their fingers through.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guys With Long Hair Shouldn\u2019t Wash Too Often<\/b><\/h2>\n

Few people know more about styling long hair than <\/span>Queer Eye<\/span><\/i>\u2019s grooming expert Jonathan Van Ness. First off, just look at that man\u2019s luxurious locks. No matter how he styles his hair, it always looks really healthy and shiny.<\/span><\/p>\n

Van Ness tells <\/span>Cosmopolitan<\/span><\/i> magazine that he washes his hair <\/span>once or twice a week<\/span><\/a>. That\u2019s it!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re like most men, you probably wash your hair every time you shower. That usually means washing it at least once per day. You may even wash it more often than that if you hit the gym in the morning and afternoon.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you over-wash your hair, you can make it greasy. Notice that Van Ness doesn\u2019t have oily hair. It\u2019s shiny and moisturized, but it is not greasy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Follow his lead by washing your hair with <\/span>Champ\u00fa HC01<\/span><\/a> a couple of times per week. More than that is probably overkill.<\/span><\/p>\n

There Are Exceptions to This Rule<\/b><\/h2>\n

Some of you are making a face right now because you can\u2019t imagine washing your hair so infrequently.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are some exceptions to Van Ness\u2019s rule.<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, if you work in an outdoor environment where you get dirt, sand, flour, drywall, or pollution in your hair, you will need to wash it more often. If you don\u2019t, then you end up with dirty hair.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quite frankly, it\u2019s better to have greasy hair than dirty hair. No one wants to see you walking around with dust clinging to your scalp.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you must wash more than twice per week, keep your hair healthy by using <\/span>Acondicionador HC01<\/span><\/a> after you shampoo it. The conditioner will help restore your hair\u2019s natural balance so you can avoid grease or frizz.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speaking of frizzy hair!<\/span><\/p>\n

Wash With Warm, Not Hot, Water to Avoid Frizz<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you have frizzy hair, you need to <\/span>avoid washing it with hot water<\/span><\/a>. Hot water will strip away the natural oils that keep your hair healthy, moisturized, and smooth. Stepping into a hot shower may feel like heaven, but it\u2019s doing a serious number on your hair.<\/span><\/p>\n

When your hair loses its natural oils, it also has a higher risk of absorbing moisture through the air or your skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

You have probably noticed that your hair gets frizzy on humid days. Without oil, your hair will seek moisture elsewhere. On humid days, the hair cuticles open and extract moisture from the air. It doesn\u2019t take long before you have a frizzy mess on your head.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your hair can also get frizzy by absorbing moisture from your skin. Keep your hands out of your hair. Otherwise, your cuticles will draw oil away from your skin to hydrate your hair.<\/span><\/p>\n
