These graphic images are the result of me keeping my Andis t blade liners under the bathroom sink. You know how it goes... fresh out the shampoo & shower, "that's the best time to shave or cut any hair ..freshly cleaned."
Pull the clippers out, plug em up... you can't beat that convenience, but the only thing is that those hot showers send moisture to the blades leading to rust. Try storing them in a dry place like your sock drawer. I don't know about you, but I would like to have the least amount of rust in contact with my skin. From the numbers I've been coming across.. It’s estimated that one in every three to four US adults has high blood pressure (HBP). Blood pressure is determined by the amount of blood your heart pumps and the amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. When these arteries become constricted, the heart has to work much harder to circulate blood throughout the rest of the body (high blood pressure). That over-working of the heart leads to heart attacks, strokes, heart disease, aneurysms, and kidney issues. The more blood your heart pumps and the narrower your arteries, the higher your blood pressure.
Once high blood pressure develops, it usually lasts a lifetime. Most of the time, people go on with their daily routines not knowing they have high blood pressure because HBP (the Silent Killer) tends to not show any signs or symptoms.
As a barber, it is very important that you practice Proper Posture while performing your barber services. Bad posture will tire your back, decrease productivity, and shorten the lifespan of your career. Some factors that lead to barbers using bad posture techniques are
Its DEEPER than Just A Haircut! Organic Root Stimulator Tea Tree Oil Anti-Bump® Lotion Shave & After Shave Lotion ---------- Try this product as an after shave with a hot towel or fresh out of the shower. No sting, nice clean smell. Apply lotion to shaved area once every 12 hours for the first 36 hours following the shave. Beneficial medical properties when Tea Tree Oil is applied topically, include - Shave bumps caused by hair can be divided into two types - The extrafollicular hair is a hair that has exited the follicle and reentered the skin. The transfollicular hair never exits the follicle, but because of its naturally curly nature curls back into the follicle causing fluid build-up and irritation. Shaving sharpens the hair ends, making it easier for them to penetrate the skin. Watch what you eat. A lot of skin irritations may subside if certain foods are avoided. Fatty foods, foods containing oils, cholesterol and sodium, can make your skin more susceptible to damage while shaving. Most importantly, you MUST keep your hands out of your face! We do everything with our hands from opening public doors to shaking hands.
No matter the case, germs are most commonly transferred by hand.. Don't be your biggest road block to smooth skin. Wave Length: The optimal length of your hair, for your waves to express themselves. I get a lot of youth and adults asking about waves. There are a lot of factors that go into the wave hairstyle. · Hereditary · Wave length · Clean hair/scalp · Product use · Brushing The biggest factor is in your genes. Some of us will never have waves, don’t blame the barber… blame your parents. For those who do grow waves, I would have to say that maintaining your “Wave Length” is a top priority. Your neighbors waves might pop more at a shorter length, where as you might need to leave a little more length for your waves to show. Some guys can get one haircut a month, come back to the barber with an afro, get that cut off and have a head full of waves again. The more you can keep your hair around that length, the higher chance of success with waves. Keeping your hair/scalp clean will allow your hair to grow healthy. Use a quality shampoo and conditioner, followed up with a quality daily moisturizing product more in the lotion/cream consistency. I recommend that you stay away from wave grease/waxes/pomades because they can leave a heavy coating on your hair/scalp & often take several washes to remove. Start with a softer bristle brush for shorter hair on up to a meduim for longer wave lengths… you probaby won’t need a hard bristled brush unless you’re way past due for a haircut.
1. Brush/comb hair while dry to release dirt, dry scalp, oils, and dandruff from scalp. 2. While hair is still dry, place a quarter size amount of shampoo in hand and work it into hair/scalp. The cleaning agent in shampoo is called a Surfactant. Surfactant molecules have a Hydrophilic (head) end, which is attracted to water, and a Hydrophobic (tail) end, which is repelled by water but is attracted to oils. The surfactant helps separate the oil molecules so they are no longer attracted to each other. The surfactant also acts as a bridge between the oils and the water molecules so that the dirty sebum can be washed away with the water. 3. Wet your hands, then proceed to rub the water from your hands into your hair/scalp. This will probably not produce any lather but the process of cleansing your hair/scalp has begun. Now rinse this first shampoo out. 4. Place a nickel size amount of shampoo in hand and work into hair/scalp. Now rinse this shampoo out. 5. Place a dime size amount of shampoo into hand and work into hair/scalp. now rinse this shampoo out. As the hair is cleansed you gradually need less and less shampoo to work up a good lather. Be sure to rinse your hair well. ------------------------------------------ 6. Pour a quarter size of conditioner in your hand and work into hair/scalp. Leave it in while you shower, or for at least five minutes. Rinse out with cool to lukewarm water. IMPORTANT!! |
