Finding the right products for your hair can be an uphill task, what with the gazillion products all screaming for your attention and claiming to be the last product your hair will ever need. Your hair is almost like your fingerprint, it’s unique. Your curl pattern, texture, volume, length and color are all distinctive qualities. I understand how all these factors can make the search for hair care products which nourish and protect your unique hair, a little intense.

Do you need to use every product with the George Clooney lookalike sporting the perfect shiny hair on the packaging? Nope. Should you use a product simply because it carries macho sounding names like; Terminator, Matrix, or Brave Soldier? Probably not. In a previous article (insert hyperlink here), I mentioned that when it comes to hair, less is usually more. The product you should choose to use should be determined by first your type, then the look you want to accomplish. Let’s dive in, shall we?

Shampoo:

You’re probably going, “Duh.” But relax. Not all shampoos are created equal, some contain harmful chemicals such as Parabens (used as preservatives, but can cause skin issues like, rashes, hives, and flakiness), Formaldehyde (also a preservative, but also a known human carcinogen), and Triclosan (an antibacterial chemical which can adverse effects on reproductive health). All shampoos need to do is remove dirt and excess oil from your hair, so you definitely want to avoid the possibility of using shampoos which might end up harming you.

While browsing for shampoos, be sure to read the ingredients. Make sure that they contain more naturally occurring ingredients than not. Remy Ricos Cleansing and Moisturizing Shampoo is an excellent choice, shop for it here.

Conditioner:

If you have dry, thin, or curly/kinky hair, you most definitely need to use a conditioner after you shampoo. Conditioners usually contain moisturizers which are absorbed into the scalp, this helps return some of the lost moisture to your hair, and prevents flakiness.

Clay:

Hairstyling clay has always been a popular choice among men's grooming items. Do you have any idea why? So, here are a few Remy Ricos hair clay facts.

While pomades have always been more popular, a clay-based styling product can also be used to style hair well. There are some things you can do with it that you can't accomplish with pomades or waxes. Not to mention that clays have a number of other health and style advantages.

It's simple and flexible to use.

Even if you're a novice, learning how to apply hair clay, whether through a web post or a video guide, takes only a few minutes. A clay styling product, like pomade, does not demand any talent or experience. Also, the complete application process takes only a few minutes.

In a nutshell, all you have to do is:

• Make sure your hair is clean and slightly damp before you begin.
• Take a small amount, around the size of a pea.
• Rub it between your fingers and in your palms.
• And make sure you apply it evenly.

How is that not simple?

Clays now allow you to effortlessly control the product's stiffness by dampening your hair, irrespective of its hold strength. The firmer the grip, the dryer your hair is. As a result, all you have to do to lighten the hold is slightly dampen your hair.

Adds a Little Bit of Thickness or Volume:

One of the finest ways to add volume and fullness to thin, patchy hair is to use a clay style product. Your new haircut will appear fuller and healthier with the addition of volume. The major concern here, though, is how clays thicken weak hair. It's actually fairly straightforward.

Wax-based products, such as waxes and pomades, have a tendency to stick/clamp hair strands together. People with thin hair will lose even more volume as a result of this. In comparison to wax, clay products frequently contain a higher amount of clay.

As a result, after application, a thin layer (coating) of clay will be produced on each hair strand to keep it erect. However, the style product does not have to hold you together. Clay style tools, simply put, have the capacity to lift individual hair strands without clamping them.

Improves Hair and Scalp Health

One of the most intriguing aspects of hair clays is that they nourish the scalp. How? Typically Clays have natural healing properties. As a result, it can help to repair damaged follicles and heal hair nicks.

Simply put, having a healthy scalp and follicles promotes the growth of healthy hair. Furthermore, because clays occur naturally, they are gentler on men with sensitive skin or scalps.

Remy Ricos Matte clay is the number one pick for most stylists across Canada.

Pomades:

Have you ever wondered how some men manage to keep their hairstyle looking good all day with little effort? If you've always been curious but never received an answer, it all comes down to the quality of hair products they use. Pomade is a popular hair product among men. Pomade is a specially formulated natural hair oil that is especially beneficial to men. The type of pomade you choose is frequently influenced by your hair. If you have thick hair, look for products that are specifically formulated for that type of hair. Remy Ricos has somehow been able to formulate an extremely versatile pomade with all natural ingredients that works wonders on all hair types. Hair stylists and barbers throughout Canada use The Remy Ricos Versatile Pomade as their number pomade choice.

Shaving Gel:

A good shaving gel can do wonders to your grooming routine. While some men prefer to shave with just soap and water, using a shaving gel can make your daily shave smoother and cleaner. This, in turn, benefits your skin and reduces the likelihood of irritation or flakiness.

Remy Ricos Shaving gel has proven to be the best shaving gel in Canada because of its special formula incorporating jojoba wax, argan oil and custom made fragrances.

To wrap up, finding the right products for your hair can be an uphill task but when you do, the view is amazing. The hair care products you choose should be informed by your hair type but more importantly by the quality of those hair care products.
