Grooming Products for Men

I was astounded to discover how many searches are done every day, from guys seeking advice on grooming and related products. More specifically, they're looking for advice on washing and styling their hair, moisturizing their face, and removing unwanted body hair.

This overwhelming number of queries led me to shop around for grooming products, test them out and ultimately list the finest one for each popular grooming problem. Since we men are generally lazy creatures by nature, I also chose to list the products that are available online so you can purchase them without even having to venture into a mall.

This said, let's find out which quality products made the cut as the top men's grooming products.


pump up the hairdo

Two of the most popular hair-related queries were: "volume shampoos" and "shampoos that add volume." After testing out many of the better-known brands, I came upon a site where I found many quality products, one of which was shampoo that gave my hair a healthy spike of volume.

Pump up my hairdo is exactly what Mont Source Moisturizing Shampoo did. The shampoo gave my do a great texture, perfect for styling, all the while moisturizing my hair and scalp. The scent wasn't too intense yet strong enough to give my hair a nice refreshing and clean touch.

Please note that you'll get better results if you complement the shampoo wash with the Mont Source Stimulating Conditioner.


styling products

Once your hair is well-cleaned and dried, the next step is to style it to perfection. And for that you'll need the right products. Again, by analyzing AskMen's article searches, I noticed that guys were looking for two particular textures for their hair: a natural look and a more glossy, gelled-up one.

One of my colleagues and I tried various products, and clearly, different products will work differently for each hair type. We did, however, come to an agreement and found two products that stuck out from the rest. Surprisingly, they're also both made by Mont Source. Let me tell you, the quality-price ratio on these products is great.


Pomade
For those seeking a natural look, Texture Pomade 7 is the product you've been looking for. Pomade 7 will give your hair a natural finish, but it also offers great holding and molding characteristics.

The texture is more or less similar to that of yogurt without the stickiness of other pomades, which is great since you won't have to wash your hands after playing with your hair. Pomade 7 also tenders a very pleasant and masculine scent.

Mont Source's pomade is very easy to apply, and another great advantage is that it takes a very small amount to get the desired style. Pomade 7 is also a great moisturizer that will make your hair look healthier and shinier than with most other pomades.


Gel
For a wet look without any stiffness, Mont Source Forming Gel is the product of choice. It's a superb smelling gel that offers a medium hold, thereby making your hair very maneuverable at all times.

I don't usually use gel so I had one of my colleagues try it. His comments on the Mont Source Forming Gel were: "I used nearly half of the quantity of gel I usually use and it kept my hair up all day, no problem."


face these products

There are two grooming questions guys ask when it comes to their face. First, they want to get rid of the oily look on their forehead, and second, they want to relieve any dryness without making their face look shiny.

Well you're in luck guys, because I found two products that will do exactly that. They're both from California North, and haven't been tested on animals. They work great.


Gelskin Wash
The wonderful thing about Califoria North Gelskin Wash is that it was designed for the face first but it can also be used as a body cleanser. The body wash is well-priced and will leave your face clean, without the shine.

Simply use with a washcloth in the shower or bath, once a day.


Action Moisturizer
The California North Action Moisturizer is oil-free so it won't clog up your pores, one of the primary causes of an oily-looking face.

It's a great all-around moisturizer. Apply it on your body once you're out of the shower, and it will offer you full-day protection against dry skin.


for the body

Body hair
Guys constantly ask about waxing, electrolysis and hair removal lotions. So whether you're looking to remove the hair from your back, shoulders or chest, I suggest Nair for men. It provides a smooth, clean look with results that last days longer than with regular shaving.

It's also hassle-free and much less painful than waxing. Simply apply on the body for 15 minutes and rinse off in the shower. Get your free sample at www.nairformen.com.

Everyone's hair and skin is different and therefore have different needs; don't be afraid to try various products and you'll eventually find the best ones for you.
