hair





Blimey days you would of thought men would have clocked on that a good haircut is probably one of the simplest things to make a dramatic difference in how you feel and how other people perceive you. Virtually all makeover programs including the rebooted Queer Eye on Netflix take on the hair as an object of focus and change.


A heck of a lot of men in their 30's and beyond these days appear to have either very thin hair or receding hairline or bald patches. If this is you then for goodness sake get your hair cut short. If you are bald then one clever move you can make is getting a light tan to take away the billiard ball look.


If however you are like me and have a full head of hair then changing your hairstyle these days is a breeze. Start by looking at the media and hairstyles that you think yeah I could like that, print off a picture and pop off to a decent local hairdressers.


Finding a hairdresser that you like can sometimes take quite a long time. For men with hair, its grows back! so don't dispair as I have done many times if you get home and think OH NO. Wash it, try and style with a pomade (look below) and it'll be fine. If not hey there's always a hat ...


If cost is an issue then one thing you learn is very often hairdressers move around various salons and so sometimes you can get a pretty cheap haircut done by someone who used to work in one of the top local salons, just get talking you might be surprised.


Hair products. I have tried many usually because someone has waxed on how good the product is. My advice is wax off. Instead look for pomades. These combine a good level of hold with a attractive smell and are translucent.

Bed Head





BED HEAD Slick Trick by TIGI is my No.1 pomade. Pomades are clear, not white like say fibre putty which I used to use . This stuff has good hold properties, smells great, easy to apply. An alternative would be American Crew pomade which is quite a bit heavier than Tigi. AC also seems to be a staple in a lot of slick hip barbers these days.



Shaving creme



Go with tradition





For wet shaving you could do a lot worse than get yourself aquainted with the range of shaving cremes and other products of Taylors of Old Bond Street. I am always interested in products that are actually used in a live shop. You will find Taylors shaving cremes used in high end barbers offering traditional wet shaves. My favourite is the Sandalwood shaving creme opposite.

hair colour



Gently does it





Pop into any decent hair salon and mention male hair colour and what you should use and you will get a tsunami of negative information telling you to stay away from block colour products such as Just for Men and the "classic" Grecian 2000.


Whats the beef? Basically trying to block colour you hair like a woman's is not a good idea. People do tend to notice if one day you have loads of grey and the next you have a black mane. So whats the alternative? Well Just for Men have cottoned on that gradual and subtle transformations work really well and are to be preferred.


However, my recommendation here is Wella SP . When you have your hair cut you can shampoo in this product and it will gently colour the grey to various levels from one application, small effect to three applications practical removal. You need to leave the mousse on for at least 10 minutes each time from when you finish applying. Don't move around too much when this stuff is on your head, if it drips it can stain the surface it lands on. Wella SP in my opinion leaves you with a realistic natural look that takes one shampoo a week to maintain.
