For the past few months, I’ve noticed a resurgence of sideburns in ads, TV and on the street. And, I’m sure my “How To“ on how to grow a pair have helped… ok, maybe not! Either way, I’ve seen some interesting attempts (to say the least…) of guys really trying their hardest to get ‘burns [...]

Just the other day, I was visiting a men’s hair salon and noticed a man getting his hair highlighted. At first, I thought of it as “no-biggie” because I’ve seen this plenty of times. But then, I took notice of the number of foils (aluminum strips used to isolate the hair lightening chemical) he had in his hair and thought… [...]

More and more men are taking on hairstyles that were once very popular 20+ years ago… Styles that made a statement and also separated those who wore these styles from the pack. No I’m not talking about the styles that made the Mad Men TV show “that much” more popular. I’m talking about the styles [...]

If you’re a person that constantly deals with dull hair and flaky product build-up, here’s a great remedy: exfoliate the scalp! You see, styling products lead to build-up on the scalp, making the hair dull and hard to style.  Exfoliating the scalp removes debris, unplugs clogged follicles, and gets rid of excess sebum and dead skin. This practice increases [...]

Just yesterday I was talking to one of my clients about gray hair and a particular myth surrounding it. You know, the one about plucking one and then two appearing (which is false by the way, see here)! Anyway, he asked me a question about gray hair that got me thinking… He said- “Is there a [...]

This year I thought I’d try something different… I decided to solicit the help of a few of my barber and men’s grooming colleagues to critique hairstyles that stood out to them  at the Oscars. The goal is to show you (my readers) today’s more popular styles, and how to achieve them at home. So keep an [...]
