From Metro to MAN datory
The Evolution of Men’s Grooming
By Lindsey Washbourne
This past year has been an incredible whirlwind for Men’s Fashion. It’s
boldly official: unkempt swag, tattered threads and bedhead have lost their
appeal. The new year of 2014 is continuing to ride the wave of the classic,
well-groomed gentleman. The best part of this self-indulgent trend for
men is that it’s no longer a closeted “metrosexual” secret. More and more,
men are becoming proud to share their secrets to suiting up and looking
sharp. High-end barbershops are popping up everywhere and the business
of men’s grooming products are quickly on the rise. Jon Hamm, Joseph
Gordan-Levit and Ryan Gosling are masters of their craft, when it comes
to polishing their charm. But how does the every day man keep up? Here
are a few starting secrets that are easy to come by. Stop sneaking your
girlfriend’s floral-scented soap - it’s time to build your own kit!
After Shave: L’Occitane - ‘L’Occitan’ After Shave Balm
After a good, clean shave, your skin is at it’s most vulnerable state.
Sensitive and in need of intense moisture. High quality ingredients
and minimal synthetic fillers are a must. Loaded with shea butter, this
luxurious after shave will help repair your skin into it’s softest potential.
Shampoo & Conditioner: Nioxin - System 1
Thinning hair is one of the #1 concerns for men. If it runs in your
family, it’s important to start early. Nioxin’s mission is to create a
healthy environment at your scalp, so your hair will continue to grow
as thick as possible. Best part? The minty, tingly refreshing feel.
Consistency with this system guarentees results. Consider this the
fountain of youth for your follicles!
