Grooming for Men

[Soca Junkie]

african man dem in general have smooth unblemished skin

Its to do with the water over here.

The hard water is not good for the skin.

Lather from soap doesn't wash off properly.

The food they eat over there is rich in nutrients, Good weather

It all adds up.

I notice when I travel out for holidays my skin seems blemish free.

There is one black soap that my gran used ot make. Its from natural stuff. Its quite common in west africa . I can't remember the name. But that sh*t works wonders.

My mum calls it Alata semina... It's a mixture of loads of soups but with something else in it.. Can't remember. It lightly bleaches your skin but works wonders for things like skin blemishes and eczema... Clears the skin nicely! Needs to be used with normal soap though.

Just clocked this was bumped. Ignore this post lol.

What's your ethnicity? It will be a factor

You can't fully wash your hair everyday

It will fall out.

African Pride Castor Oil helped a bit.

Don't ramp with thick grease (unless you're trying to hook them waves) otherwise you'll have to be washing your hair too regularly. Cop an oil sheen spray and rub it scalp deep once or twice a day.

Use NIPPLE GEL! (For sore nipples when breastfeeding)

Truss me it worked for me I had some dry sh*t on my head for ages, went doctors they gave me various things none worked. When I used the gel it cleared up quickly

Only use shampoo to wash your hair 2-3 times a month.

Use conditioner to wash your hair with instead. Most shampoos contain a drying agent which just messes up your hair.

Also, elasta qp mango butter is a saviour. Most black hair shops sell this.

I don't think this applies to men, we get haircuts about every 2 weeks so need to be washing at least once a week IMO more so if you use products.

[KayGee]

You don't need to wash your hair with shampoo weekly, I only just about do that and I have long curls using oils and creams daily. Imagine how much more exposed your scalp is with short hair.

[O Fenomeno]

I think there is a thread for this already

[Fresh]

I aint trying to get into a hair debate with chicks, but it makes sense in my head, I can't not have washed my hair between two trims.

[Esquilax]

Black hair sounds like a f*ck*ng nightmare tbh

Bare sh*t you have to slather it in

Wash n go m8

Use conditioner to wash your hair wether it's 2-3 times a week. It does the same job as shampoo

but less stripping more moisturising

[KayGee]

But if he has issues with his scalp then the correct advice is being given by the females who know more about hair and skin than maybe yourself. If what you do works great but he has an issue..
