You just left the barbershop looking sharp. Now what? Here's how to keep that fresh-cut look lasting longer between appointments.
Daily Maintenance
Washing
Don't over-wash your hair. 2-3 times per week is typically sufficient for most hair types. Over-washing strips natural oils and can make your hair harder to style.
Conditioning
Use a conditioner matched to your hair type. This keeps hair soft, manageable, and healthy-looking.
Styling Products
The right product makes all the difference. Ask your barber what they recommend for your specific style:
- Pomade: Classic shine with medium hold
- Clay: Matte finish with strong hold
- Cream: Natural look with light hold
- Gel: Strong hold with wet look
- Sea Salt Spray: Texture and volume
Weekly Care
- Clean up your neckline if needed (or leave it for your barber)
- Check for any strays around the ears
- Deep condition once a week for dry hair
When to Book Your Next Appointment
The frequency depends on your style:
- Fades: Every 2-3 weeks to stay sharp
- Classic cuts: Every 3-4 weeks
- Longer styles: Every 4-6 weeks
- Growing out: Every 6-8 weeks for shaping
