TAMIN THE MANE!! GROOMING FACIAL HAIR 101
Gents let` be honest- you wouldn’t leave the house with messy hair going in five different directions; don’t do the same with your facial hair. While the hair on top of your head tends to get more grooming and maintenance attention, the hair on your face needs some TLC too.
Your beard is part of the first impression you make, so you want it to be on point. Wash, Moisturise, shape trim, tis should be your grooming mantra. Use what your beard and the skin underneath needs, and know that figuring that out will probably take some experimenting. Your skin and hair will react differently to different products. Be willing to try things out. Once you find something you like and that keeps things looking and feeling good, get into the habit of regular maintenance and you’ll be set.
Excuse us sir your brow is about to get married!! A unibrow is as equally unflattering as an unkempt bushy brow. This might be painful but be good friends with a tweezer to avoid such scenarios. To maintain clean and neat brows pluck out below and above. You can make the process less painful by plucking out the stray brow- hairs after a warm shower or bath. If it feels like a painful chore leave your precious brows in the hands of experts.
Nose hair is the kind of thing you never think about until you catch a glance in the mirror of an unruly strand protruding from your nostril. You may be tempted to snip or pluck, but should you? Most men neglect to trim their nose hair. Although nose hairs are perfectly normal, some people find themselves with long hairs that protrude from the nostrils to be a source of embarrassment that they wish to remove. Trimming nose hair is the safest and most accessible option for most people. Nose hair trimmers can be manual or electric. Tiny scissors made just for this job are often included in grooming kit. Some general tips for using these devices include:
- blowing the nose before trimming to get rid of any mucus around the hairs
- using a magnifying mirror to see the hairs in more detail
- leaning the head back when trimming to increase visibility inside the nostrils
- placing the trimmers close to the skin when trimming
- cutting only the most visible hairs and leaving the rest intact
- blowing the nose again afterward to remove any loose hairs
The advantage of nose hair trimmers is that they allow a person to shorten only one or two protruding hairs. As a result, the majority of hairs remain intact and able to protect the airways. A couple products, a simple routine, and your beard will be happier for it.
