You don’t have to be a nature guy to appreciate the work of renowned craftsman and “treehouse guy,” Pete Nelson. He has written five books and stars in his own show Treehouse Masters on Animal Planet. Nelson has partnered with Dove Men+Care to create a treehouse concept inspired by the earthy ingredients found in their new Elements range. He’ll have Mineral + Sage, Charcoal + Clay, and Mineral Powder + Sandalwood to riff on. The next level fort will be complete this spring but, we hear there’s a sophisticated bathhouse vibe already taking shape. Charcoal, wood stains, and even a living wall may play into the design.

When it comes to architecting your shower experience, Dove Men+Care has a good plan too. “We know that men are looking for a new kind of freshness in their grooming routines,” said Nick Soukas, V.P. of Marketing for Dove at Unilever U.S. How about experiencing the Elements inspiring Pete’s creation for yourself? There are three different formulations to trigger your earthly senses.

Mineral + Sage offers a natural clean that will soothe your skin. You wake up calm and refreshed. Keep it that way by showering with this bar soap or body wash.

Charcoal + Clay gently lifts out dirt, oil and toxins while purifying the skin. You’ll get a nice deep clean.

Mineral Powder + Sandalwood absorbs excess moisture and calms skin. If your underarms are sensitive, these soothing pit products will keep you fresh for 48 hours without irritation.

You can stay in Pete Nelson’s treehouse and experience Dove Men+Care Elements from high in the sturdy trees of Chattanooga, Tennessee by entering to win here.

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.
