Pomade has the power to make your hair go from blah to bold, thanks to its ability to tame flyaways, keep your hairstyle in place and make you look, well, handsome as ever. But which pomade do you choose? Do you go for one with a nice scent and a light hold, or for something stronger that’s unscented? Luckily, the folks at Baxter of California thought about the same problem, so they created the Pomade Mixer Kit, something that will solve all those issues.

Men with curls: Here’s how to finally get the haircut that works for you

Embrace your curls, and you'll enter a whole new world of styles

Man with long hair and glasses

For the most part, we live in a straight-hair world. Personally, this has never been an issue for me — while I am follicly challenged, my hair has always been reasonably well-behaved. The occasional stray curl pops up at the end of a strand when I grow it out, but I never faced the challenges that men with curls often have to confront.
These challenges can feel formidable. Curls can be unruly and hard to tame, and that might seem like a limitation. But the reality is very much the opposite — there are plenty of great-looking choices, provided you know what you want, get a great barber or stylist, and arm yourself with a little knowledge.

MasterClass skincare series

If you’re looking to establish or enhance your skincare routine, relevant information isn’t hard to find. Dozens of companies are incorporating it into their approach, and a significant portion of what they present and cover has value, even if it’s mostly product-oriented and biased.
But getting comprehensive skin health info is an entirely different matter. As someone who’s constantly on the hunt for accurate information that’s easy to access, digest, and absorb, I can testify firsthand that it’s a lot harder than it looks.
Which is why the new MasterClass series on skin health should definitely be on your watchlist. It’s a “must-see” series that will increase your skin health knowledge and improve your skincare routine.
