Takeaways

• 💇‍♂️ Trimming edges can make hair look cleaner, but an undercut isn’t necessary for everyone.
• 🧴 Hair care routines should vary based on hair type and health. George has thin hair but a lot of it, which isn’t too greasy or dry.
• 🚿 Washing hair too frequently can be damaging. For longer hair, 1-3 times a week is recommended to retain natural oils.

• 🚫 Be cautious with popular products like 2-in-1 shampoos. Head & Shoulders, for example, might not have the best ingredients.
