Key Takeaways:

• Hair is something that a lot of men don’t put a lot of thought into, but just keep with what they’ve always had
• Instead of that, you should be purposeful about what you decide to do with your hair
• Take time to experiment, find stylists who know what they’re doing, and try different things!
• Look at pictures of men that are wearing their hair the way you want to, and model them. Having an end-goal helps a lot
• If your hair is thinning, you probably want to at least consider shaving your head. Thinning hair is one of the weakest signals you can send
• If you’re trying something radically different, spend time around people you don’t know as well, and you’ll probably find that they don’t think it’s extreme
• Experiment with a lot of different products to find what you want. Focus on hold and shine
• Hold is more important for longer hair, where they want it to do something specific
• Shine tends to give your hair more of a formal look, no-shine is more natural

Mindset Takeaway:

Don’t just do what you’ve always done with your hair. Take time to experiment and try new hairstyles, and while you experiment, have an end goal in mind.
