Grooming is a worthwhile investment in caring for yourself. More and more men are becoming knowledgeable about beauty and are paying attention to their looks. According to industry stats, haircare is the biggest category, with shaving coming second.



Men's hair trends are constantly changing from season to season and men are now actively looking for products that meet their needs. Whether you are experimenting with a pompadour  and in need of firm support from a hard water pomade for a light hold and a sleek shine or you keep your coif short and clean cut and need a clay pomade to keep your look in place with a matte finish. The options are endless and below are a round up of some of our favorite brands focusing on hair and skin. This is also a great guide if you are looking for some last minute gifts or stocking stuffers for the guys in your life.

First up is for the guy rocking a retro cut or stylized pompadour. Oh, this look has been all over the runway and it's made a come back in a major way over the last 2 years. The Pompadour is a hairstyle that was originally named after Madame de Pompadour, who was King Louis XV's mistress. It predominantly was a female’s haircut until one man, The King himself -Elvis.
