Best Maintenance Practice for your Caesar

  • Regular Maintenance: We all know the drill! Regular visits to your barber every few weeks to keep the length of the hair in check and maintain the clean lines around the edges.

    Getting the Caesar cut is easy, maintaining it, that’s where commitment comes in.
  • Proper Shampooing and Conditioning: Use a gentle shampoo suited to your hair type to remove dirt, excess oil, and product build-up but avoid over-washing, as this can strip the hair of its natural oils and lead to dryness.
  • Styling with Products: While the Caesar cut is relatively low-maintenance, using styling products can enhance its appearance. A small amount of pomade or wax can be applied to damp hair to add texture and hold

We have feeling you already knew this so apologies for sounding like a broken record or your mother but maintaining medium curls requires a balance of proper hydration, gentle handling, and the right products.

 Here are 2 essential tips:

1 – Hydration and Moisture

-Use a sulfate-free shampoo to avoid stripping natural oils from your hair.

-Apply a deep conditioner regularly to keep your curls hydrated.

-Consider using a leave-in conditioner or curl cream to maintain moisture throughout the day.

2 – Product and Styling Techniques

-Use curl-enhancing products like gels or mousses to define and hold your curls. None of the cheap stuff boys

-Refresh curls between washes with a light mist of water mixed with a leave-in conditioner or a curl refresher spray.

Maintaining men’s spiky hair involves the right cut, products, and styling techniques. Here are three essential tips:

Proper Cut:

  • Get regular trims to keep the hair at a manageable length for spiking.
  • Consider spikes that can be worn in both formal and social settings.

Right Products:

  • Use a strong-hold gel, wax, or pomade to keep spikes in place all day.
  • Opt for matte finish products for a natural look, or glossy products for a more defined appearance.

Styling Techniques:

  • Apply product to damp hair, then use your fingers to style spikes.
  • Use a blow dryer on a low setting to set the spikes and add volume.
  • Finish with a light mist of hairspray for extra hold if needed.

The Beard Snob desires status, authority, and class all through their self-pedestalized facial hair. This air of superiority results in silently judging the facial foliage of friends, strangers, and perhaps even their own reflection.

It’s likely you’ll conjure an image of someone you know all too well embodying these unmistakable traits!

Our editorial we’ll embark on a quest to uncover the 8 red flags that may just reveal whether you or a cherished acquaintance harbour a touch of beard snobbery! đŸ§”đŸŸ

Here are the 8 Beard Snob Red Flags

1. Critiquing Others’ Beards đŸš©

Step into a predominately male space like the gym and the beard snob is comparing his beard against the other men while critiquing.  

This behaviour isn’t limited to any specific setting; a beard snob is a beard snob in most settings, social parties or in the office they just must let their thoughts be known.

Whether it’s pointing out uneven growth, sparse patches, or a less-than-perfect shape, they’re always quick to offer unsolicited advice on how to improve someone else’s beard.

2. Exclusive Product Usage Only đŸš©

If you find yourself turning up your nose at mainstream brands or insisting that only the most exclusive oils and balms will do for your facial hair, you might be veering into beard snob territory.

Yes, beard snobs make it very apparent to share their beard care products onto others since it worked for them, the conversation turns into an affiliate sales pitch!

Thanks, but no thanks buddy I’ll stick to what I’m using!

3. Gatekeeping Beard Culture đŸš©

Beard snobs are notorious gatekeepers of beard culture, believing that only those who meet their strict criteria can truly be considered part of the beard community.

This full sense of ego only increases as they use free time to attend things such as the Moustache Championships and other beard branded events.

Feeling apart of these communities somehow creates the illusion that thoughts on mens beards are the new set standard, effectively shutting out anyone who doesn’t fit their narrow criteria.

4. Name-Dropping đŸš©

“Met Rick Ross at the International Beard and Moustache Championships last year, he said my beard is BOSS.” 🙄

Yeah, he just couldn’t wait to tell us about his 5 second interaction he had with Rick Ross over the weekend to solidify his status as a beard authority figure in the friendship group!

Whether it’s dropping the names of obscure beard styles or boasting about the famous beard aficionados they’ve rubbed elbows with, beard snobs love to flaunt their knowledge and connections within the beard community.   

For them, having a well-connected beard is just as important as having a well-groomed one.

5. Inflexible Views on Beard Care đŸš©

This is what it would look like in real life, the Beard Snob might dismiss the latest trend in beard oils as a passing fad, unworthy of consideration by any serious beard enthusiast.

Offer them a new, highly reviewed styling balm, and they’ll wave it off, citing allegiance to their one trusted brand, tried, and tested through the years.

Introduce them to a new grooming technique, and they’re likely to meet it with scepticism, if not outright disdain. Their refusal to entertain new ideas in beard care is often met with internal resentment from the snob towards them.

6. Using Beard as Status Symbol đŸš©

To a beard snob, a well-maintained beard isn’t just a facial accessory—it’s a status symbol. The thing that keeps them up at night as they google how to grow a beard

Ok maybe a little bit of an exaggeration but you get the point.

They see their beard as a reflection of their masculinity, sophistication, and social standing, and they’re quick to judge others based on the presence or absence of facial hair.

7. Takes Credit for Beard Style Recommendations đŸš©

Friends: “Mike your beards really grown, suits you too”

Mike “Thanks man, bought some good beard oil from the beard club”.

Snob “Yeah, I recommended that to Mike and made sure he didn’t buy any of the crap he was using before, plus he also bought the same balm too, so I’ll take the credit”.

Beard snobs love to play the role of the beard guru, doling out style recommendations and grooming tips as if they invented them themselves. They’ll happily take credit.

8. There personal brand and personality – BEARD! đŸš©

Meeting new people and immediately drawing attention to their 1 attribute, you guessed it, their beard.

Its how they leverage their online influence so we can see how this could go to their head.

Establishing authority in any domain is a challenge so they make it their life mission, and sometimes, unfortunately, make this all their known for!

Think all the best men in Hollywood with the best beards, now whilst they might be adored for their whiskers there also versatile in their gifts, talents & personalities.

So if your going to be a beard self-obsessed lover just make sure your not a 1 trick pony!

Content Updated in 2024

From stitch cornrows, 2 strand twist, traditional braids & medium length curls, we have documented the best central cee hair moments with our gallery.

Whilst we have predominately covered US rappers with braids today we’re going across the pond detailing UK Based rapper Central Cee and his current hairstyle. 

Central Cee Hair Before and After

central Cee hair before and after

Before (At Time of Debut)

His first mixtape wild west was released in March 2021 along with multiple music videos. His mixtape cover as well as the visuals feature Central Cee hair in off scalp braids. 

After (Current Hairstyle)

For the majority of the masses Central Cee debuted his new look with the release of his song ungrateful. We see the young rapper getting a fade without his braids 

Central Cee Hair Gallery

2 Big Cornrows 

During his braided phase we saw Central Cee alternate between 2 big braids and traditional cornrows.

Stitch Cornrows

Here we can see Centrals hair are tightly braided close to the scalp, creating neat rows. The braids are typically woven in a straight

The protective style became a signature look for the rapper up until the point he decided to switch for a short curly look.

More cornrow hairstyles for men can be found in our gallery

2 Strand Twists

We also see Cench regularly alternating between the box braids and twists which is evident by the rope like finish!

Off scalp Braids 

His first music cover features his hair in off scalp braids which may be a look most fans recognise him for.

Styled with a middle parting and boxed parts we can see central Cee in majority of his photos in this hairstyle. 

Top knot Hairstyle 

When he took a break from protective styling, we saw him tie his hair in a top knot hair style on occasion.

With his hair not in braids we can identify his hair type as a 2 or 3, this is due to his heritage with his mother being Irish whilst his father being Guyanese. 

Short Curls 

Today we see Central Cee sporting short curls along with a taper fade on the sides. Whilst he could revert back to braids we imagine he’s going to rock the look for a while! 

short curly hair

Use a deep conditioner or hair mask to ensure you lock in the curls!

The curlier your hair, the more additional moisture it requires.

How to Maintain your Braids

Having braids installed is a great feeling as it gives you a new look and confidence. To ensure you maximise your hairs lifeline it’s imperative the proper care and maintenance is applied to your braids. We have provided some tips below to ensure that they stay neat, tidy and clean.

Make sure Braids aren’t too tight

If you experience the pain of tight braids, this is your body informing you they need to be loosened or redone. Not only do tight braids damage your hair but you increase your chances of getting braid bumps and infected follicles which we want to avoid. This could lead to temporary or permanent hair loss, something we want to avoid of course!

Moisturize your scalp

We like to explain it like this, your scalp is an extension of your skin, and therefore it requires hydration and care. A good moisturizing routine helps it keep your hair bouncy, defined and healthy, but most important not dry. Find one best suited for your hair type.

Oil your Scalp

We mostly forget to apply oil on our scalp as were too busy focusing on the ends and length, yet it’s our scalp that hair grows from, therefore an oil routine is super important and non-negotiable.

Content Updated in 2024

Since his NBA debut we have seen Ja Morant hair in real time alternate between an afro, twists and his current hairstyle being traditional dreads.

Our editorial will detail his hair evolution while taking a look at his current hairstyle.

The Best Ja Morant Hairstyles

Ja Morant Hair in an Afro (2019)

The year is 2019 and Ja Morant is a new face on the court. During this time we saw him sport has afro hair along with a taper fade.

While Ja became much more experimental with his hairstyle it all started with the thick afro. Not long after he would begin to put his hair in twists which would then create the foundation for his dreads.

Twists (2020)

Shortly after styling his hair in the afro taper fade he quickly transitioned into styling his hair in twists.  

Ja Morant hair in twists

Not only did the twists present a new look for the player at the time, they were also a great protective style. This would act as the perfect segue into the formation of his dreadlocks.

Interested in the different twists for men? Then check out our editorial in which we covered over 10 styles you can do.

Budding in 2020

During the budding phase, we saw Ja’s new growth puffy and on the fuzzy side. The was the transition away from twists.

Teenage Locs in 2021

At the teenage stage locs start to plump up and develop their form and we also saw colour added for the first time.

Ja Morant Hair at Shoulder Length in 2022

Ja Morant Dreads (2024)

Ja Morant dreads
Ja Morant dreads in colour
Ja Morant dreads down

Ja Morant’s current hairstyle are traditional dreads.  As we mentioned before not only are dreads enough to make you stand out on the court as most athletes will sport the buzz cut, his dreads feature the front few locs dyed in blue and pink.

While hairstyles may appear to be the norm this was not always the case in the NBA.

In the 2001 All-Star game we saw Allen Iverson rock his famous cornrows and the rest is history.

From James Harden to Ja, we have multiple examples of players with hairstyles on the court which can date back to Allen Iverson’s influence. When you see players in braids, twists or dreadlocks this can all be credited to him.

Semi freeform, braided dreads, bleached, thinning would explain why Lil Wayne Dreads continuously make the headlines.

What makes this even more impactful is the new generation of rappers with dreads he’s inspired due to his cultural impact.

Our editorial covers each stage of Lil Wayne’s Dreads past and present until 2024 today!

How and When did Lil Wayne Dreads Start?

Lil Wayne Dreads throughout the yearsHow: Lil Wayne dreads were initially started by the semi freeform method in 2002.

This would explain his thick hair and roots in his earlier photos. He then transitioned into having his hair maintained at the root.

When: Lil Wayne began his dreads back in 2002 and has been growing his hair for over 20 years at this point.

Within that 20 year period we have seen his hair in a loose afro, curls, cornrows, traditional dreads and free formed.

Lil Wayne Dreads Gallery

Late 90s – 2003
Style at the time – Cornrows and Semi Freefom Dreads

Prior to his starter dreads Wayne can be seen in multiple cornrow hairstyles throughout the late 90s and early 2000s.

All archive images of Wayne during the late 90s features his braids styled in multiple ways during his time in the Hot Boyz music group.

Lil Wayne Braids in the late 90s/Early 2000s

His transition began in 2002 when his hair was taken out of cornrows and placed in semi freeform dreads, this would eventually grow into short thick locks.

As time when on his hair began to form and shape into its own pattern due to the minimal manipulation.

2003 – 2006

Style at the time –  Semi Freeform Dreads

With his hair still growing and maturing at this stage we were able to see his hair density increase whilst simultaneously growing in length as they reached his shoulders.

2007 – 2010s

Style at the time –  Traditional Dreads

Now a household name at this point and the period most would deem the peak of his career we saw Wayne’s hair at full maturity with his dreads reaching his back.

long dreads

For most people 2008 is the year Wayne took over the rap world with his album The Carter 3 and in most of the music videos in support of his album we saw his dreads now pencil sized and maintained at the root.

With the resizing of his dreads Wayne began to style his hair in multiple ways from his braids to his 2 strand twists, both trademark looks for the rapper.

2014 – 2015 (Dreads Cut)

Style at the time – Freeform Dreads

In 2014 Wayne had cut his dreads as you can see from his ends. At this point he had been growing them for 12 years.

lil wayne dreads cut off

The decision to cut them was primarily for wanting a new look whilst also being easier to maintain.

As dreads begin to grow in length weight is increased which can be an inconvenience to some.

Its also at this point we begin to see Lil Wayne dreads get experimented with bleach and colour with one of the first colours being red at the tips.

2018 – 2022 (Bleached Hair)

Style at the time –  Freeform Dreads & Bleached

 Having cut his dreads in half a few years ago he also joined multiple dreads to form multiple big dreads which is a common practice.

2024 (Current)

Wayne’s dreads were predominately styled in tightly in the early 2000s which has lead to thinning crown in 2024.

Since he has increased the density and size of his dreads today he won’t be able to style his hair as he used too.

The crown is particularly susceptible to traction alopecia because it bears the brunt of the tension from these hairstyles.

Since Wayne has been doing styles since the 90s as our gallery proves the repeated pulling and stress on the hair follicles can caused weakening.

 

 

Key Take Away: Maintenance!

Dreads require the upmost care since they can catch dirt, latch onto fluff or even worse break off if not managed.

Wayne is a great example of what can happen to an individual if hair is not managed well and you’re going to need to learn from his mistakes. Ensure you

  • Oil your scalp
  • Keep protective styles in for maximum of 8 weeks
  • Protect hair at night or doing any physical activity
  • Spray rose water on your dreads to lock in moisture
  • Allow for retwisting every 4-6 weeks so your scalp can breathe, reduce tension and pulling. This is ultimately how to avoid traction alopecia
  • Talk to a loctician and get a Consultation for professional guidance and help
