Hair Care Routine | How to care mens hair?

Hey guys, welcome back! Today I want to show you my daily hair routine, let’s go! 

Many people ask me these three questions:
– Which product do I use?
– How often per week do a shower?
– What are the steps of my daily hair routine?

Which Products do I use?

Right now I’m using the products of Fable and Mane. I use the shampoo, conditioner, the mask and the hair oil. They keep my hair strong and hydrated. The link to the products are of course in the description of my YouTube video. 

How often per week do I shower?

I shower almost everyday. I’m going to the gym and sweating, so it is really necessary. I wash my hair everyday, but I don’t use shampoo everyday. That way my hair doesn’t dry out. When I don’t use shampoo I only use water and conditioner.

My hair routine

Before the shower 

Once a week I use hair oil by Fable and Mane. This product strengthens the roots.
Fort hat you need partly wet hair. You can either do it right before showering, because you have to rinse it out later, or you can do it right before going to bed, if you shower in the morning.
With the oil comes a pipette. You drop a few drops of oil onto your roots and then gently massage them in with a comb. Then you let the oil soak in for at least 5 minutes, I do it overnight. Then you wash it out with shampoo. 

Shower 

As I said before I use shampoo every second day. Besides other ingredients there is coconut herb in the shampoo of Fable and Mane. It is important that your shampoo doesn’t dry out your hair too much. That’s why you shouldn’t use too much of it as well. Massage it in from front to back and let it soak for not more than 60 seconds. After that, wash it out.

Then I use the conditioner. It softens the hair and strengthens the ends. Again: don’t use too much. Rub it in your hair, not in your skin. It’s a product for the hair, not the skin. Wait for at least 1 minute and then wash it out. It’s important to wash everything out, because if you want to style your hair later and there is still some conditioner in it, it might feel heavy and it’s harder to style that way.

Once a week I also use the hair mask. It helps to hydrate and repair the hair. When you wash it too often and don’t use additional care, it is possible that your hair might get damaged. Let it soak in for at least 5 minutes up to 2 or 3 hours. After that wash it off. 

Also remember, if you dry your hair with a towel, don’t rub heavily, but rather try to be gentle. This is much less damaging. 

So, this is my hair routine. I hope you liked it and and are able to implement some of those things into your own routine. Definitely check out my YouTube channel and my other blog posts and videos on fitness, styling and modeling.

See you soon, take care guys!

Eyebrow Tutorial for men at home

Hey guys, I’m back with another tutorial! Now that your hair looks great, we want to make sure your eyebrows do as well. For that I got a little help from my friend Chris again (He is still a great barber😉). He plucks my eyebrows with a thread and tweezers.

From him I learned the right way to pluck them. You have to be careful, so it doesn’t look too feminine. If you like that look, pluck away! But for me it wouldn’t fit.

Step 1: Careful cleaning on top

I have very thick eyebrows, so we started by carefully cleaning out the single hairs on top with a thread. It is much cleaner with a thread than with tweezers.

Step 2: The middle part

Also we did clean the middle part, I am not a fan of a monobrow. 😀

Step 3: Shaping it

To get your eyebrows into a good shape, you need to find their highest point on top first. For that you take a pen or a stick, put it on the tip of your nose and lay it in a straight line over your pupil to the approximate high point of your eyebrows, to really get the detailed point. On that part you DON’T want to take away any hair, because that ruins the face and the eyebrows. Chris did a great job on that. Also remember to do it on each side seperately. 😀

Step 4: Form the eyebrow bottom

The top was done, so we continued with the bottom. Now the tweezers came into play. Again we did it very carefully. You remember the highest point of the eyebrows and how you should’nt take anything away of it on top? Well, on the bottom of that high point you can take away a little bit more, so you get the perfect shape.

And with that you’re done! I have learned a lot on eyebrow shaping, have you? 😊 For more tutorials like that, challenging workouts and exciting vlogs check out my YouTube Channel @fabianxarnold.

How to trim a beard?! – Tutorial 3 Day Beard MEN

Hey guys, welcome back! Today I want to talk about a very important asset to a man’s face: the beard.

When I was younger, I dreamed of having a real „man-beard“. Well, I am slowly getting there. Now I want to show you how I shave it, so it looks like a proper beard.

Before shaving

It is very important to let your facial hair grow for some time, even i fit looks horrible. To get the best out of it, you have to have something to work with. I try to work with one centimeter, that takes me about two weeks to grow.

Rough shave

I use a beard trimmer with millimeter adjustments, so I can be very precise. I always start with 5 millimeters and do a rough shave against the beard line. I start at the middle and do the sides after that (I go up until the middle of my ear, but you can change that up). Try to stretch your face a little bitt o reach every part of your face, otherwise some tiny hairs may be overlooked.
The moustache comes last. Here I adjust the trimmer to 4 or 3,5 millimeters.

If you have parts of your beard that are darker than the others, trim it a bit shorter, so it looks like it is the same length.

Details

After doing a rough shave, you have two options for the details:
1. Use a dry, electrical one blade
2. Use a wet shaver
I normally start with the dry blade and do the lines of my beard, later I clean everything up with the wet shaver.

To do the bottom lines on your throat properly, put one finger right where the chin ends and the throat begins. This is where you want to have your line. From there you go tot he sides and up to get a clean cut just along the transition of your chin to throat.

Some people (like me) don’t have that much facial hair on the sides. So I try to shave everything above the visible hair and create an intentional line that way. I basically draw a beard into my face. 😀

After that clean everything out with shaving cream and the wet shaver. Remember: Always cut up to down, otherwise you might destry your skin.

Aftercare

When you are done, wash the remaining cream off with water and dry your face with a towel. Don’t rub it in, but rather dab and press it against your skin. That way it is much more skin friendly.

Having done that, it is time to use after shave cream. I don’t really use proper after shave with alcohol in it, but natural products with aloe vera inside. Again, don’t rub it in, but rather to little dabs.

And after that, you are done! I hope I could help you with your beard routine and some of you will walk around with a massive beard shortly. 😀

I am looking forward to see you! Take care!

Perfect Morning Routine Men | how to increase your morning?

Hey guys, welcome back!

Everybody starts their days the same way: By getting up in the morning. 😀 Some may need longer to wake up, others are already fresh and ready as soon as they open their eyes. Today I wanted to show you my morning routine, which takes about one and a half hours. Of course some of you may not have that much time in the morning, so just try modify it to fit your way – and maybe you can take one or two things from mine to start your day better.

Waking up

My alarm rings at 6:30 every morning during the week. Even though I am selfemployed and theoretically able to sleep in, I like to get up early. It’s the best way for me to be productive.

Getting up

I think the next step is the same for everyone: Going tot he bathroom. 😀 Then I wash my face with cold water. You may not like the cold, but you will feel fresh and awake afterwards.

After that I always drink a few glasses of water, to get hydrated. The average person loses about one or two litres of fluid during the night while sweating. By drinking water, I get that back.

A new thing each day

I open the windows, let some fresh air in … and go back to bed. But not to sleep. Recently I started learning spanish. The reason for that is simple – like Arnold Schwarzenegger said: „If you learn one new thing a day, you will feel more productive“. So I do that for about half an hour until 45 minutes.

When I am done learning, I get up for real! 😛 I make the bed and put on some music. Making the bed is a ritual that helps you getting more into a routine. It is a promise to yourself to not get back in there. Regarding the music, in the morning I like to listen to some deep house tracks. It has just the right vibe.

Breakfast

Right now I am doing intermediate fasting, which means I don’t eat until 11 am. So this early I only make some tea, which, first of all, is delicious, and second, it keeps your stomach full, so you don’t get hungry.

In addition to that I take some supplements, which I will list right here:

In the morning:
– L-Carnitin: It helps to burn fat + you have more power at sports
– Zink + Magnesium for better skin
– Daily Vitamins for General Health

Before Training:
– BCAA for better muscle recovery

In the evening:
– Omega 3 for better Skin (Naturals Fats)
– CBD in the evening

Body care

So, when I took care of the inside of my body, it is time to take care of the outside.

Fort he face and face I use skin cleanser. It doesn’t really matter which product you use, because every skintype reacts differently to different products.

Then I am doing my hait (check out my hair tutorials for that 😉). I don’t wash it every day, because it would get too dry and fragile. I always wash it after workouts, but only three times a week I will use shampoo. That way my hair stays healthy.

I work my down, so to speak, brush my teeth and moisturize my face. Again: find the product that fits you best. Also it is important to NOT rub it it, but rather touch it gently. That is way better for your skin.

To close it out, I use a bit of perfume. Maybe in the future there will be a post about my favorite fragrances? 😛

Getting the system going

By now you should be pretty awake and feeling good already. But to get my systems going, I like to do a few pushups. I do round about 35, but you can work your way up from five to ten to fifteen and so on. It’s not a workout, just something that gets you pumped.

The best way to continue your morning would be a morning walk after that. I don’t always have time fort hat, but when my schedule allows it, I like to combine business calls with a long walk. This way you can burn additional calories (like 300). When you do it before breakfast, you burn even more!

The white board

The last step in my morning routine is checking my white board. On that I write my to do lists. It has helped me getting so much more productive, because you always see what’s next! And I am not going to lie: It feels great, erasing a finished task from that board. Having done that, I can start my working day right.

 

So, that was my morning routine. Do you have any suggestions on how I could make it even better? Do you have any secret tips I don’t know about yet? Let me know in the comments!

Down here you will find the Youtube Video where I actually take you on my morning routine! Have fun watching it!
