“ALL ABOUT THE BEARD STYLE” – SKILLS Talk Episode 13

Previous Episode SKILLS Talk – Episode 12 “GET THE BEST HAIRSTYLE BY YOURSELF”

In this episode, our Senior Barber @barber.mo talks all about the different types of Beard Style, how to choose a suitable beard for you, and what are the struggles in growing your beard.

The Beard is considered as the main icon for the Men Style and if you have it that, then it means you look more fashionable, classy and you have something not everyone can have that easy, and also it adds to your personality your special signature.

The Process to Achieve your desired Beard Style

First is check the thickness of your beard and compare it to the beard style that you desire, considering the color, the texture, length, and the face structure because all of this are factors that are going to help you to decide if the beard that you chose matches to what you plan or if you need to find another style that can give the best look on you. And also, it is very important to have a proper Artist to advise and guide you on how to shape your beard, or else you are just wasting your time before you even begin.

Consultation is very important to know if the ideal beard that you desire is suitable for you

The Struggle of Growing/Maintaining your Beard

1st Struggle – Beard Itchiness: It is expected that you will feel a lot of itchiness in the first few weeks/months because your skin is trying to adapt to the new changes and your pores are open all the time.

Solution – Use a proper moisturizer or beard balm for your maintenance, it will not go completely but it will make it more manageable.

Beard Itchiness is the most common struggle for people who are planning to grow their beards.

2nd Struggle – Beard Roughness: The beard texture is quite different than our hair texture. The beard hair is rougher and it could take 1-3 months before it becomes soft, this is the most common reason that a lot of people give up on growing their beard.

Solution – Use a proper beard brush and make sure that you brush your beard often, this will help your beard texture to be a lot smoother and will give you comfort while you are growing your beard to your desired style.

It is very important to have a Beard Brush if you are planning for a Thick Beard Style

3rd Struggle – Smell, Dead Skin, and Hair Ingrown: This is caused by people who usually wash their beard without properly drying their beard which causes the smell, Dead skin is caused by not using the proper cleaning agent for your Beard and the Ingrown is caused when the dead skin cells clog hair follicles, forcing the hair to grow at a different angle under your skin.

Solution – Use a proper Beard Shampoo and not the same Hair Shampoo when washing your beard, also properly drying your beard always and not leaving it wet.

Washing your Beard with a proper Beard Shampoo is one of the most important steps in Maintaining your Beard.

4th Struggle – Beard Doesn’t Look Good 24/7: The main problem why people struggle on this is because since the beginning they were advised wrongly by their Barber thus once the beard is grown, they provide an alternate solution to match the ideal beard that they desire, whether by coloring, straightening, or any chemical procedure to achieve the desired shape and texture.

Solution – Before you plan something, always have a Consultation with a professional and experienced stylist so that you don’t waste your time and get the ideal style suitable for you.

A Great Beard comes a long way, but it is always worth it at the end.

That’s it for this episode! I hope you guys learned a lot especially for the people who are planning to grow their beards and change their style. Leave a comment if you have any questions that I was not able to cover and I will see you all next week.

SKILLS Talk – Episode 7 “THIS IS WHY NAIL CARE IS IMPORTANT”

In this episode, our Senior Barber @barber.mo along with our Nail Technician Ms. Dianne talks about Nail Care.

Nail care is for everyone who wants to look presentable and hygienic.

Nail Care is for everyone, it doesn’t matter whether you are male or female as long as you want to look more presentable and hygienic, then yes you should always invest in having a proper regiment for your nails as you would have on your hair.

The difference between doing your nails at home and by a professional is that you only do 50% of the actual process and there is a lot of things that you neglect, most especially the filing and cutting the cuticle.

The difference between doing your nails at home and by a professional is that you only do 50% of the actual process.

The frequency of cutting your nail is usually every 2 weeks, on that time you will see that your nail is already looking unmanageable, if you are the type of person who wants to look sharp and clean at most of the time then every week is possible, as long as you don’t go less this is to avoid going too short and cutting your nail beds.

It is important that you cut your nail as often as possible because if not the germs buildup underneath your nails will cause you the have infections or the transfer of dirt from your nails to your mouth or hands.

You should always cut your nails every 2 weeks or a minimum once a week if you are the type of person who wants to look neater.

That’s it for this episode, we have another episode with you next week where we will be talking about the feet and how it is important to do foot spa as well as some tips and advise on how to maintain the health of your nail.

SKILLS Talk – Episode 6 “THESE BAD HABITS ARE DAMAGING YOUR HAIR”

Previous Episode SKILLS Talk – Episode 5 “AVOID PROBLEMS ON YOUR NEXT BEARD SHAVE”

SKILLS Talk – Episode 6 “THESE BAD HABITS ARE DAMAGING YOUR HAIR”

In this episode, our Senior Barber @barber.mo talks about some of the most common bad habits that people do that are damaging their hair.

1. Using Commercial Shampoo over Chemical-free Shampoo

You should always avoid using a shampoo that has both Sulfates and Parabens because they strip your hair of its natural oils, making it dry and brittle. Instead, use natural shampoos that are made with natural plant oils and herb extracts, most commonly that has coconut oil, jojoba oil, argan oil, and Also don’t forget to use Conditioner because the shampoo alone is not enough.

Your hair gets dry when you use shampoos that have harmful chemical ingredients such as Parabens and Sulfates

2. Doing your Blowdrying near to the scalp

Holding the dryer too close for too long can literally fry the hair and burn the scalp, potentially causing permanent damage to the hair follicles resulting in hair loss and bald patches.

Never blowdry too near your scalp and brush your hair too rough with the brush.

3. Sleeping with Hair Product on your Hair

Products can leave a thick residue on your scalp if it’s not properly washed off, this can clog the pores of your scalp and cause hair follicle reduction. That it means your hair start to grow thinner, weaker, more brittle hairs – which can give an appearance of hair loss.

Hair Products can clog your pores if not washed properly before you sleep.

4. Drying your hair forcefully with the towel

Using a towel is not generally bad but just rubbing your wet hair forcefully with a towel can lead to excessive hair breakage and hair fall. Its thick absorbent fibers when rubbed with the hair actually do more harm than good.

The hair can also become extremely frizzy as the towel ruffles up the cuticles of the hair. Moreover, the weight of the towel itself pulls down the hair, causing vulnerable strands to break.

Another Bad Habit is Drying your hair Roughly with the Towel.

5. Neglecting to moisturize your hair after swimming in the pool or beach.

Both the chlorine and saltwater dry out the hair and strip away its natural oil, making the hair drier and thin. That’s why it is very important to rinse your hair after your swim to wash out all the chlorine and bacteria that was soaked up by your strands to avoid further damage.

Always rinse your hair after you go swimming outdoors and apply moisturizer on your hair to avoid any further damage.

That’s it for this episode, make sure you avoid all these habits if you want your hair to last with you longer. See you on the next episode.

SKILLS Talk – Episode 5 “AVOID PROBLEMS ON YOUR NEXT BEARD SHAVE”

In this episode, our Senior Barber @barber.mo talks about all that you need to know about shaving at home.

The most important points to know before you start your shaving is to have your very own Personal Shaving Kit with a Proper Shaving Gel, and always place them away from the Bathroom to avoid the accumulation of the Germs and Bacteria on your next shave. And if you are using disposable shavers make sure to only use it once.

EasyBathrooms.com – Ranked the following areas of the bathroom, by bacteria per sq. cm:

THE SHAVING PROCESS

When you are ready to start your shave, always start by applying the Shaving Gel in a form of massage to your skin so that you can stimulate the blood flow around your face and at the same time soften your facial hair which helps in making the shave much more smooth.

After that apply Hot Towel to open the pores and then you can start shaving.

Applying the Shaving Gel and the Hot Towel right after to open the pores for easy and smooth shaving.

When you shave you always want to follow the direction of your hair growth and don’t do the other way around because that would lead to cuts and ingrown.

When you are done with your shaving, don’t forget to cleanse your face with Cold Water or Cold Towel so that you can close the pores and if you have a cleanser you can apply it on your face so that you can remove the excess hair or product, then after that apply skin moisturizer so that it will lessen the dryness on your skin and don’t use any Cologne or Alcohol substance as it causes redness and irritation.

Cleansing skin after shaving to remove extra hair particles and shaving product.

It is advisable to do your shaving once a week or if its urgent minimum of 3 days if you are the type of person who wants to look sharp at all the time.

That’s it for this episode, I hope that this video will be helpful for you.
