Moda for Men: 3 Easy Ways to Update Your Grooming Routine

Read on forsome of our favourite haircare products for men

Ready to level up your grooming ritual and give your hair and skin back some moisture after this long winter?

With these three easy tips, you’ll see that it’s possible to have a hair care and grooming routine that rivals Beckham or the Hemsworth Brothers.

#1 Use the right tools

The texture of your hair, style and length all determine what kind of brush or product is best for you, whether it’s for your scalp or beard.

What we recommend:

• Evo Pete Ionic Paddle Brush with its natural soft rubber cushion and ionic pin bristles to help keep frizz at bay.
• Depot - 701 Comb - if you have shorter hair and need to make a precise part, this comb is a fantastic option with its wide-set teeth on one end and tightly packed teeth on the other to assist you in keeping your short style neat without causing breakage.

We also recommend investing in a wooden beard brush with dense bristles for your beard. This type of brush can last a lifetime and is beneficial for grooming your beard by removing any buildup and keeping the appearance of your facial hair tidy.

#2 Start your routine with a clean slate

Over time, hair and skin can accumulate excessive product build-up, from shampoos to conditioners and environmental elements. Even if you regularly shampoo your hair or wash your face, the buildup can still occur, leaving your hair looking weighed down and your skin looking dull. That’s where these products come in, specifically formulated to help rejuvenate your hair and skin.

For hair, we recommend investing in a good clarifying shampoo. Clarifying shampoos aren’t meant to be used every day but can be incorporated into your routine anywhere from 1-4 times per month, as needed to restore your hair’s natural shine. 

Additionally, exfoliating your skin 1-2 times per week will help maintain a youthful and clear complexion.

What we recommend:

• Eufora Urgent Repair Shampoo - a gentle clarifying and restorative shampoo that removes buildup improving hair and scalp health.
• Verso Enzyme Peel - a gently exfoliating gel for a rejuvenated complexion. It removes dead skin cells, unblocks pores and accelerates cell renewal, leaving the skin smooth and radiant. Should only be used 1-3 times per week.

#3 Moisturize

Once you have the right tools, you’ve clarified and exfoliated your hair and skin; the next step is to ensure that you’re nourishing your hair with the right conditioners and moisturizers to keep your hair and skin looking healthy.

Deep conditioners and treatments for your hair are a great addition to any routine. It’s essential to use a hydrating shampoo to keep your hair looking shiny and to combat the toll that the dry winter weather and product build-up can have on your hair. If your hair feels damaged, add in a weekly treatment to help restore your hair with a high-quality shampoo and conditioner for everyday use.

What we recommend:

DEPOT 205 Invigorating Hair Treatment - Researched and developed to prevent and counteract excessive hair lost. Enhances the scalp’s microcirculation,protecting and strengthening the hair from the bulb,helping to restore the hair’s healthy life-cycle.

DEPOT Hydrating Shampoo - Delicately cleanses the hair leaving it soft and conditioned

DEPOT Refreshing Conditioner - Gives hair softness and firmness, preventing the hair from becoming static and frizzy.

But wait! You don’t want to miss out on taking care of your skin. We all know shaving can cause redness and irritation, but that can be minimized or even eliminated with the right products.

What we recommend:

DEPOT’s Once upon a shave - The set includes the no. 401 Pre & Post-Shave Skin Protector to protect the skin, as well as the 404 Soothing Shaving Soap Cream, which is a shaving cream soap that develops into a gentle lather, making shaving easier, and the no 408 Moisturizing After-Shave Balm, which acts as a nourishing balm to soothe reddened skin.
