Hair has color because cells in our hair follicles called melanocytes create pigment (color) in the hair. When these cells stop producing the pigment, the hair loses its color. Plucking out one gray hair will not affect the melanocytes in the other hair follicles, so other hairs will not turn gray as a result. In most cases, gray hair will occur [...]

  I think I’m in good company when I say that most men don’t like to spend too much time in the shower…right?  So, along comes the 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner concept, and now we can shave even more time off our shower time!  But, by using this new and improved invention, are we helping or hurting our hair?

The best way to hide thinning hair is to try a new hairstyle. One of the biggest cover-up mistakes men make is that they try to grow out their hair and continue to sport the same look—bad idea. And don’t get me started on the comb-over—you’re not fooling anyone. Consider a scissor-cut hairstyle, short to [...]

I read this in the most recent Esquire Magazine, although slightly exaggerated, I found it pretty amusing all the same! You be the judge… What to expect at the salon: After you’re greeted by the receptionist, you are directed to a coat check. Here you are given a robe, which at first will make you [...]

I received a few questions from readers, asking… “are there any grooming products that work well for both, men and women?” Their reasons, limited space, and the concern of staying within a budget.  Great reasons!
