Top 5 Hair Styling Mistakes Men Make & How To Fix Them

About this video

Weston and Jordan O’Brien from The Gentleman’s Cove discuss the five most common hairstyling mistakes men make and how to fix them. They cover selecting hairstyles appropriate for hair type and lifestyle, choosing the right products, maintaining regular haircuts, using products correctly, and establishing a proper hair washing routine. Weston argues that understanding your hair’s natural characteristics and starting with a clean base are essential to achieving a polished look.

Key takeaways

• Weston argues men should select hairstyles that match their hair type and lifestyle, noting that unrealistic expectations or high-maintenance cuts for low-maintenance lifestyles lead to poor results
• Weston recommends choosing hair products based on hair type—creams and clays for thin hair, pomades for sleek looks—and starting with half the amount of product you think you need
• Weston emphasizes getting regular haircuts roughly every two weeks, washing hair vigorously for at least two minutes to stimulate the scalp, and emulsifying product in warm hands before applying to roots
