With Father’s Day around the corner, let’s take a moment to show the dads around the world some love. We firmly believe that fathers are an integral part of a young person’s life, as well as being strong pillars of any successful community or society. A father’s steady love and strong, stoic presence helps to keep us grounded, confident, and safe. We celebrate our Kings this Father’s Day by highlighting grooming rituals and reminding them to carve out time for self-care.
Haircare as Bonding Ritual
There’s nothing more heartwarming than watching a father bond with his child by styling their hair. From detangling coils to braiding up a storm, it’s a powerful expression of love, trust, and the passing down of cultural practices. Likewise, when a father invites his child to help comb his coils or apply natural oils to his beard, it becomes a shared act of self-care and connection.
Haircare Tips for Dads on Father’s Day
To honour the father figures in our lives, we’ve curated some simple but effective tips for maintaining healthy hair – even with a busy schedule. Share this guide with him so he can refer back anytime.
1. Keep Coils Moisture-Happy
Moisture is essential for soft, healthy hair—whether you prefer a low-maintenance look or a high-top fade.
Haircare tip: Hydrate daily with Afrocenchix Sheen Ultra Hydrating Hair Spray or opt for a creamier option like Afrocenchix Smooth Moisturising Hair Cream. For locs, try Afrocenchix Seal Moisture Locking Hair Oil and Afrocenchix Spring Nourishing Twisting Butter to maintain definition and moisture.
2. Show Your Beard Some Love
Your beard is just as important as your crown and needs daily care to stay soft, hydrated, and healthy.
Haircare tip: After cleansing your face or showering, massage a few drops of Afrocenchix Restore Oil into your beard. Then use a fine-tooth comb to detangle and shape.
3. Stick to a Shampoo Routine
No matter your hairstyle, your scalp collects build-up from sweat, products, and the environment.
Haircare tip: Cleanse weekly with Afrocenchix Swish Sulphate-Free Shampoo, which gently removes dirt without stripping natural oils. Follow with Afrocenchix Swirl Silicone-Free Conditioner to soften and detangle.
4. Trim with Care
Trimming regularly helps prevent knots and tangles—even if your hair is short. Keep your edges and beard tidy, but avoid shaving too close to prevent irritation or bumps.
