This shampoo gets your hair nice and clean without stripping the moisture from your mane. Peppermint oil soothes and cools down itching and irritation. It also stimulates circulation to help heal the scalp. Added Tea Tree oil moisturizes and promotes hair growth. Use it everyday! It will remove dirt and oil without drying or damaging your hair. Mister Pompadour recommends using a small amount, about the size of a nickel will do the trick. Lather up and let it rest for sixty seconds before rinsing with warm water.

Peppermint Conditioner

Its okay to skip shampooing and even considered healthy for your hair to do so. However, you should still use a little conditioner on the off days. It will lock in moisture, protect your hair and nourish your scalp. Mister Pompadour’s Peppermint Conditioner is infused with; you guessed it, natural Peppermint oil along with other moisturizing botanicals, vitamins and nutrients. Don’t rush the conditioning process. Leave it on for a full sixty seconds or even longer. Give the product a chance to really sink in so it can protect and moisturize your hair and scalp.

 Finish up with Peppermint Pomade

This is the potion Jon Hamm used to get his hair just right for the Emmys. Peppermint Pomade won’t way your hair down. It has medium hold and high shine without being overly greasy. It will wash out easily and is made from all natural ingredients. After washing, towel-dry your hair, apply a little pomade and use a comb or your fingers to shape your minty fresh look.

The Manual’s Grooming Awards Are Open for Submissions
Head, Person, Face

For eight years, The Manual’s Grooming Awards have done one thing: told readers which products actually work. Not which ones arrived in the nicest box, not which brand bought the most media. Which ones survived months of daily use on our own faces, in our own showers, and were still worth reaching for at the end.

This year, we’re opening the awards to submissions.

Who says wearing a hat worsens hair loss? GroWell disagrees
Driving, Person, Transportation

A couple of years ago, I took a flight to Istanbul on Turkish Airlines to meet with a hair transplant expert. It wasn’t for my scalp; it was for my beard. Stress-induced alopecia had ravaged one side of my face, and I was horribly self-conscious about it. Even images I took for my articles here on The Manual I would limit to the right side of my face. Ultimately, I got the transplant on the left side and went home happy. Now my right side is following suit, and I am considering the same thing again.

But what if I didn’t have to do all of that? What if there was a better way to treat hair loss? The secret is to get out in front of it early. Don’t wait. That doesn’t mean book a ticket on “Turkish Hairlines” and start going under the knife (dramatic, but you get the point). Instead, there is a better way to start early. Red light therapy. But, guys don’t always have the time. So the fix is in GroWell’s red light therapy hat. Who said wearing a hat causes you to go bald? That old wives’ tale is a thing of the past.

Why ESPN’s Dan Orlovsky Is Dead Wrong About Pedicures — and the Late Kobe Bryant Would Agree 
Accessories, Formal Wear, Tie

If the name Dan Orlovsky rings a bell, you probably know him for two things. He’s the quarterback who infamously ran out of the back of the end zone in 2008 as a member of the Detroit Lions. The move is considered such a bone-headed move that when Cody Kessler did the same thing in 2016, pundits wrote that Kessler pulled a Dan Orlovsky. The name also might ring a bell because of his takes as an NFL analyst on ESPN.

It turns out that there’s now a third reason why the name rings a bell. Earlier this week, Orlovsky said he’s completely against men getting pedicures. The subject came up after football fans learned that Florida Gators football coach John Sumrall, a no-nonsense tough guy, loves getting pedicures. Orlovsky appeared on Mike Greenberg’s Get Up show and made his feelings known.
