Equity:816.74 - About hair, really

For a long time, I have always admired and wondered why some men hair quality is better than others. I am not born with great hair quality, as evident in my family. My mother has quite little and thin hair, my father has thick and abundant of hair.

I am like my father, the better of the 2. It is just that even though it is thick and plenty, the quality is not nice. After much observation, consultation with friends and experimentation, I think I got it.

Below is my tad tedious routine, but it is still little time spent compared to the amount of time I will be spending outside and looking better.

• After work/outing, shampoo hair
• Apply Argan oil 

-------------------------------------------------

• Before going out, shampoo hair
• Use conditioner
• Apply Gatbsy 
• Hair spray to hold it

The reason why there are so many shampooing is because we use hair wax, especially Gatsby. It is hard to wash off, and washing your hair clean is important as it keeps your hair lighter and easier to style. Yesterday was my friend's wedding, and I washed my hair 3 times in a day due to a break in the middle of the day. But it still feels ok, or in fact better. Probably due to the fact that my hair is thicker and stronger. Frequent washing might not be good for people with thin hair.

I also bought Argan oil without Alcohol. People in the past call it liquid gold, it is basically an oil from a tree from some country. The feel of the oil is quite magical. It feels oily, yet it gets absorbed quickly, and you don't feel your hands are dirty without washing your hands. It is supposedly also good for your skin. The one I purchased is called '100% Monaco Argan oil', for around S$20. I press 3 drops of it for each application.

Also use a Gatsby hair wax. It is cheaper than some other brands like Sebastian clay, which cost around 3 times more. Sebastian is also not easily found anywhere, and the price stops me from trying it. I also tried some other Korean wax that is eager to compete with the Japanese company, but it simply does not hold as well. You have to trust Takuya Kimura.

Regarding how much wax I apply, I use my third finger tip and scoop up enough to cover the tip with a little thickness. Then I rub it into both palms until a little warm and apply it to whole hair. I heard its easily absorbed when its a little warm. Learnt it from a video in YouTube by a sissy guy, and its good knowledge.

Of all their wax, my favorite is the purple one. It is suitable for my hair length. I also have the pink one, whenever my hair got cut too short.
