TAKAMICHI'S HAIR TIPS FOR MEN

TAKAMICHI ICHI Shampoo - LEARN MORE

For over 25 years, Takamichi Saeki has been cutting the hair of New York City’s most high-profile men, from established artists to esteemed professors. The combination of his laid-back demeanor, distinctive sense of personal style, and of course, bespoke cuts that make everyone look sharp and grow out elegantly, has kept his chair busy since day one.

But if you haven’t been able to book a cut with Takamichi yet, no worries. Ahead, he shares his personal tips on how to keep your hair healthy and in tiptop shape until you’re able to see him.

Shampoo

How often you should wash your hair boils down to your individual hair type and style. Shorter styles can benefit from daily shampooing, while longer and coarser hair types can get away with less. (Takamichi recommends three times a week.) In terms of how product much to use, he says a quarter-sized dollop is fine. If you’re someone who doesn’t need to shampoo every day, Takamichi recommends at least rinsing your hair with water in the shower to help refresh and reset.

Conditioner

If you have shorter hair, Takamichi says it’s fine to skip the conditioner: “It really doesn’t do much at this point.” And that’s because conditioner is meant to hydrate, seal, and protect not the roots of your hair, but the ends – which isn’t an issue when you’re getting it cut every week. If your hair is on the longer side, Takamichi says conditioning two to three times a week is adequate.
