I get questions from readers all the time asking me “what haircut is best for each season?” So, since it is officially summer, it’s pretty safe to assume that I’ve received a few questions about “what summertime haircut is best?” The truth is, there really isn’t “a best” haircut for the summer at all!  Simply [...]

With hairstyling trends gravitating back to the 60’s & 70’s – think Mad Men and Neo-Soul, I thought it would be fitting to suggest a lightweight pomade for the Eleventh day post.  Besides, you can’t possibly pull off any of these styles without the right styling product…right?
