The Best Hair-Cutting Kits for an At-Home Haircut

By

A good-looking, at-home haircut starts with a quality haircutting kit. You can’t just reservice your beard trimmer for your head and hope for the best. When considering your options, versatility and comprehensive cutting performance should be prioritized. The best hair cutting kits should feature a durable, reliable clipper for added accuracy while cutting; a wide-range of guide attachments for multiple cutting lengths; and added tools and features to enhance your cutting experience no matter what your expertise.

If you’re looking for a kit to cut your own, or someone else’s, hair from home, chances are you’re not a licensed barber or hairdresser. So, as sad as it may be, instead of trying to achieve some fresh, clean-lined fade, you’re better off searching for a set of clippers that can provide you with an orderly cut all-around. Once you’ve got that down, then you can look into getting some scissors and shears to help blend-in the edges on a more sophisticated cut.

A common misconception in the grooming world is that hair oil is exclusively for guys with medium to long hair lengths. The truth is that these products do wonders for all hair types. Hair oil quickly fixes dry and damaged hair, nourishes the follicles and scalp, and can revive your luscious locks, no matter how thick or thin.

The best hair oils are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and fatty acids that nourish, hydrate, and protect and can even prevent graying or hair loss. And there is always time to incorporate it into your routine. While many other factors play a role here, specific natural oils, like almond oil, are known to aid in regrowth. We're about to share our picks for the best men's hair oils.

Dry shampoos are one of the best shampoos for men and they're the perfect pick-me-up for when you need a refreshed look during those too-lazy-to-wash-my-hair days. But did you know there's also a more practical reason for it? You have probably heard once or twice that it’s against the laws of grooming to wash your hair every day. For real? Yes. It’s because of sebum — an excess oily substance your body produces naturally to defend your skin. It moisturizes, protects, and coats your body’s outer barrier.

If you’re wondering why we’re rambling about sebum, it’s to make you understand exactly why you shouldn’t wash your hair every day. When you rub your scalp with shampoo, you are stripping away the natural production of oils that nourish your hair. Sebum doesn’t sound sexy, but it’s how your hair gets the ever-so-coveted glow. And when you are constantly doing it, your body may not be able to keep up with producing sebum, making your hair and scalp can become dry and itchy.
