20 Grooming Mistakes WRECKING Your Looks

Some men are making minor grooming mistakes that are seriously affecting their looks. I will start at your head and work down to your feet to discuss these issues.

1. Sideburns. Cutting your sideburns too high is a huge mistake. Sideburns need to frame your face and finish your hairstyle. Don’t take them up too high; it will destroy your look. Slant sideburns slightly to follow the angle of your jaw. This contour and dimension will make you look a lot better. Also, avoid growing them too long. You don’t want chops. The only exception is if your hair is a bit longer.
2. Beard + shaved head. If you shave your head, ensure a seamless transition from beard to bald head. You do not want to cut your beard straight across at your ear. You need to feather it and fade to look your best.
3. Beard high up on the cheeks. Draw an imaginary line from your ear down to your mouth, and then shave everything above and leave everything below.
4. Neck beard. Do not let your neck hair grow long and down. Trim and edge it, but not too high, as hair helps camouflage a weak jaw and finishes a beard properly. You don’t want to see your neck fat.
5. Thin beards. These are mistakes.
6. Lip-covering mustaches are deal-breakers. Trim and edge them to make sure your lips are always available.
7. Chapped lips. Prevent this by dabbing Vaseline on your lips before you go to bed.
8. Hair loss. You can use topicals, go to Bosley, get a transplant, or trim it short. Do not try to camouflage hair loss. Certain hairstyles look better with receding hairlines, but if it gets too thin or you have difficulty covering hair loss, take it short. If you get a hair transplant, ensure your hairline is not too low or too straight across. Also, make sure you go to a reputable place.
9. Less product is more. Don’t use too much product; it will weigh your hair down. You don’t want your hair looking oily, greasy, wet, or crunchy. Remember that less is more. Also, use a sea salt spray pre-styler. With just a few squirts, your hair will look its best, whether short, medium, or long. You can also use it whether your hair is curly or straight. Texture powder is another option that is going viral.  Sprinkle on your hair and then style and restyle it throughout the day. It works with short, medium, and long hair.
10. Two eyebrows. Don’t sport a unibrow, but don’t shave. Use tweezers to pluck and remove the hair from the root. Shaving will cause a cross-section, so your hair will look thicker when it grows back.
11. Nose hair. To remove nose hair, use a nose hair trimming tool weekly. The same applies to ear hair.
12. Clean ears. Dirty ears are gross. Use Q-tips daily after the shower, and remember the ear folds.
13. Blackheads and blemishes. Use Biore strips to get rid of nose blackheads. They’re simple and easy.
14. Yellow teeth. Your teeth don’t need to be perfectly straight, but they should be white. I recommend Crest Whitening Strips, which you pop on for 20 to 30 minutes. Your teeth will become several shades whiter, so there’s no excuse not to have white teeth. You should not have plaque and bleeding gums, so see a dentist every six months.
15. Chest hair. Ensure your chest hair is not crawling out of your shirt, which is a huge mistake.
16. Arm hair. You can trim or shave your arms if you want to groom them.
17. Exfoliating. Exfoliate when shaving to remove dead skin, keep your pores open, and prevent ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and acne.
18. Butt hair. Don’t shave your fuzzy cheeks with a razor. Instead, trim it short with a grooming tool.
19. Man bush + balls. Take the bulk down and prune it with a grooming tool. You don’t want it all bushy, which can trap odor and make Big Al look smaller.  Shave your balls because fuzzy and musky nuts are not sexy. Make sure you powder your balls daily.
20. Nails. Long nails are disgusting, and dirty nails are horrendous. Bitten down and jagged nails are also pretty nasty. Take better care of your hands and make sure you push your cuticles back as well.
