”I added this section to the site mainly because I believe men get a pretty rough deal when it comes to grooming and I want to make sure you all get the best advice I can find. I constantly find that women pick on men for either being too rough or taking care of themselves too much, and it adds just as much pressure for a man to look good as it does for women when they look at skinny models in magazines and feel they need to diet, so if you are a woman reading this (which you shouldn’t be) then ease up on your man he has feelings too. OK so shaving is a pretty standard task that takes place normally before work when you really cant be arsed, you splash some warm water on your face, slap some foam on your face and rip yourself to shreds with a Bic and end up sore and blotchy, but do you care? no of course you don’t you only woke up half an hour ago. I think most men including me need to go back to school when it comes to shaving and learn to do it properly because if its done right the results are far better and a bit of after care goes a long way.

Preparation:

I strongly believe that you should shave at night before bed just as you would wash and brush your teeth, the reason is that your face is more relaxed than first thing in the morning, and your concentration is better also shaving at night means you wont need to do it in the morning which means more time in bed. Before you reach for the razor it is worth prepping the face before a shave, use a pre shave wash like king of shaves, this helps cleanse the skin and get rid of any dirt before a shave.

Applying Foam or Gel:

It’s time to go back to how your grandad did it, using a shave brush is a brilliant way to shave, the brush acts as a mild exfoliant and brings the hairs up ready for shaving. Use a good gel or foam such as loreal for men or nivea and apply a good amount using the brush, work it into the face in a circular motion to help raise the hairs. Once you have a good even coating your ready for shaving.

shavingThe Shave:

By far the best way to shave is to use a cutthroat style razor they give an exceptionally close shave, but unless you visit a specialist barber that can do this for you it’s not very practical for everyday use, so instead use a good quality single blade razor, these fancy razors that offer 4 blades are in my opinion a waste of time and money. When shaving always go with the hair growth and never against it as this is what causes razor burn, going with the growth means you wont get sore and if your razor is of good quality you will get a very close shave.

AfterCare:

After you have finished shaving the aftercare is just as important as the shave itself, a good quality non fragranced moisturiser should be used on the face and neck, never use alcohol based liquids such as aftershave this will just inflame the skin. Below is a selection of products available on amazon which I think work well when shaving, try out shaving this way and i’m sure you will find it much better.

Back in the 1980’s there was no one in the world that influenced the budding Generation ‘X’ like that of Michael Jackson. Yes, there was President Ronald Regan, Bo Jackson, MTV, Boy George, Madonna and those funky heavy metal hair bands. But no one topped the power of Michael Jackson.

He was not just a star; he was phenomenon.  He commanded your attention, weather you were a music fan or not. Where he went, legions of fans followed, screaming for a glimpse. The world had not seen that since the Beatles and Elvis.

Now deceased, Michael Jackson is more powerful than ever before. This story has made frontline news in all the world’s paper for 3 days straight now. No other news is seemingly is so captivating; not Jon and Kate, not US economic woes, not even the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Michaels’ death has suddenly revived his career. Yes, revived. In all likelihood, he may generate more money then he ever did alive. Already record stores, iTunes, and Amazon have experience enormous demands.   Elvis, John Lennon, Jim Morrison all experienced the same.

Michael’s legacy will most likely focus on the days he produced Off the Wall and Thriller. Those two albums alone produced more hits then most musicians have in their entire careers. His music videos ‘Beat It’, ‘Billie Jean’, and ‘Thriller’ transformed music videos from a mere promotional tool to an art. It helped ignite MTV. His career in a nutshell: 2 time inductee into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (as a solo artist and member of the Jackson 5), 13 Grammy Awards, 13 Number one singles, over 750 million albums sold worldwide, and billions of dollars generated.

The Lost Childhood
As the world learned, however, was that Michael Jackson had a dark side that involved child abuse, neglect, and accusations of child molestation. You find can an entire populace of people with similar history in prison.

It wasn’t enough that Michael suffered a lost childhood. He was never allowed to be own person. His spirit was never free. Instead, his life became a tool for others to make profit of his enormous talent. His father, Joe Jackson, was not a successful man on his own by any means. He was a steel worker during the day, hardly carrying enough change in his pockets for lunch.

To his credit, however, Joe Jackson was a driven man. He played in a band and was a talented guitarist. Perhaps he had dreams playing for record label, but fell victim to the circumstances in his day: poverty, racism, and missed opportunities.

To some, growing old and not fulfilling your lifelong dream is intolerable. Joe Jackson may not have wanted any of that. So, his kids became the pawns for his success. According the Michael and his sister LaToya, Joe Jackson was a tyrant with an iron fist. He ran the household with fear, intimidation, and complete lack of concern about his children’s feelings. 

In addition, Michael had to endure the challenge of being in a one-income household with ten kids.  Normally with large families siblings would play and fight with each other. In the Jackson household, it seemed that band practice took precedence to growing up and living a normal childhood. 

Despite the hardship, Michael was born to be an entertainer. For years the Jackson 5 played in local venues and won numerous competitions. It was not till Michael joined the band did MoTown Records take notice.

The Baton is Passed
Smokey Robinson said, “Michael had the talent of someone years his age.” Which Michael at the realm, the Jackson 5 attracted television and record deals. Like many child stars, however, Michael was forced into world that God never meant for children.  Michael never experienced a childhood. He was busy making money for his family and for the record labels. He was a moneymaker. Despite the claims from those who say they loved him and showed genuine concern, he was a music moneymaking machine. The self-worth was solely based on that. If he stopped producing, they stopped caring.

In 1979, the record ‘Off the Wall’ was a solo act without Michael’s tyrant father or his brothers. Quincy Jones was the man behind the project. Together, Jones and the 20 year old Jackson produced the first ever album to generate US top 10 hits including blockbuster songs like “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough” and “Rock with You”.

The man was only 20!

At 20 years old most people are in college, partying, studying for college exams, or thinking of their careers. Michael remained what he was since he was 10, a money making machine. Not a man with feelings, not a man with a spirit, and a human being. He was money making machine, the darling of the media, a man with billions of dollars, yet no life.

At 24, Thriller was released.  It’s the greatest album I have ever purchased. For Michael, the arrow had reached its peak and is now failing.

Energy Released – His deal with Children
It’s little wonder why Michael had that special relationship with children. He wanted to be around them, especially young male boys. Why? Because he was never allowed to experience having a ‘best friend’, or play outside with friends after school, like normal kids do. 

It’s just human nature to make up for lost experience. It not unusual for teenage moms, as soon as their children are grown, to dress up in sexy garbs, hang out at bars, and date younger men.

Michael’s inner demons were not demons. They were yearnings. Yearnings to have the God given right to a normal childhood.

Did he molest young boys? I’m not sure, but then I wonder why an innocent man would pay the family of one of his so-called victims $20 million to keep their mouth shut. I don’t know the details, nor will I speculate.

His Career Revived in Death
In years to come there will be speculations if Michael did actually die?  The same theories floated around about Elvis and Jim Morrison. Elvis and Jim Morrison made more money in death then they did alive.

Will that happen to Michael? Most likely yes.

The greatest gifts Michael left us his music. He is the ‘King of Pop’ and the greatest entertainer since Elvis and the Beatles. More important, for those who wish to live their successful through their children, look at Michael’s life and where it went.

He became a lost soul with billions of dollars. As it was mentioned in the Bible,

What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? – Matthew 16:26

Rest in Peace Michael and thanks for the music and the lessons learned.

Although originally used chiefly by women, laser hair removal has become rapidly more popular among men, as fashion shifts towards demanding boyish smoothness from adult men as part of the modern style. Some men even go so far as to have their facial hair removed permanently, and many others consider back hair, leg hair, chest hair, underarm hair, or even public hair to be an unsightly blemish that is best gotten rid of as permanently as possible. Fortunately for men following this fashion trend, laser hair removal techniques have kept pace with their desires.

In fact, laser hair removal is particularly well-adapted to removing beard and moustache hairs. Since the laser treatment is generally most effect with coarse-textured, dark hairs, the hairs on the human male face are natural targets for this method of permanent epilation. Most men’s beards are darker than their hair color, and beard hair is typically thick and wiry – well-adapted to absorb large amounts of heat from aesthetic laser applications – and respond quickly and well to treatment.

Some men opt for a full removal of beard and moustache hair, giving them a permanently shaven appearance, while others choose more selective targeting, removing neck hair or taking the hair off the cheeks to leave a goatee or similar small beard. Other facial hair – particularly hairs growing between the eyebrows – can also be effectively removed using laser treatments.

Back and chest hair have also become unfashionable in recent years in some circles, and laser hair treatment can also be used to remove this hair. Underarm hair is a particularly common target for permanent removal among men, who are nearly as likely to undertake this procedure as women, and as in the case of the beard, the generally dark color of underarm hair makes it a prime subject for successful laser epilation. Leg hair is often thinned, or even completely removed, by some men who feel that smoothness is a more attractive feature for the modern male leg, also using laser techniques.

Finally, pubic hair is sometimes removed by men as well. The skin in this area is sensitive and laser removal of pubic hair tends to be quite painful because of this. However, it is a safer alternative to shaving, since shaving the pubic area can lead to nicks and cuts, which in turn can lead to infections. Pubic shaving is also much more difficult than facial shaving, so laser hair removal in this area will spare the necessity of engaging in this clumsy activity.

In short, permanent laser hair removal is no longer confined only to its original female audience. Men who wish to keep up with latest fashion trends have been increasingly adopting it as well as an effective alternative to shaving and depilatory creams.

The hairy cavemen look is out! Men’s hair removal saloons are in. Girls no longer drool over hairy chest and back. Haven’t you seen the popular ad on TV in which a guy removes his shirt so that his girlfriend can slather lotion over his back? But when his girlfriend looks at his hairy back, yuck, how she hates the sight!

Male body hair removal is becoming increasingly popular and many men are opting for more and more methods to get rid of unwanted hair. Many men suffer with excess body hair. Fortunately many options are available to improve their looks. At last, they have to find out, which method is the best for them to remove unwanted hair. Men should know pros and cons of each option, along with its expenses and time involved.

Permanent Laser Treatments

Laser hair removal is a good option for men’s hair removal as it can give a permanent solution. However, it is certainly not a cheap route to take, although over the long run it can save you a lot of hassle and ongoing cost. Laser treatment and procedures are now very popular for men’s hair removal, particularly for large expanses of skin such as hairy backs and hairy chests. Even pubic laser treatment for men is becoming popular!

This treatment can cause slight pain in which many people could endure. Basically, it uses laser to heat up dark areas (the dark color is caused by our skin pigment – melanin) in the hair follicles but not the areas in the skin. It would take 4-6 rounds of treatments in order to have ‘permanent hairless’ effect. If you have thick chest hairs, your hair will be shaved by a technician before you proceed with the laser treatment. It is important that the surrounding skin be cooled with a gel, a spray or a cooling device throughout the procedure in order to avoid irritation on your chest.

Shaving your chest has some advantages too. For instance, if you like showing your nice toned muscles, a shaved chest will help you. Hairy chests produce a shadow layer that can cover your muscle building results. Another benefit goes for swimmers, who find less water resistance when they have less body hair.

The treatment is quick too. Treatment sessions will run about 30 minutes depending on the type of hair and area size to be treated. Multiple sessions are needed. For back hair reduction about 8 sessions is the norm.

Laser hair removal for men is also very affordable. Many clinics offer payment plans and serve up packages at reduced prices. Though it is not cheap when you factor in the benefits it is well worth the cost.

Electrolysis

Electrolysis is, along with laser, a permanent method of getting rid of unwanted hairs. In terms of men’s hair removal, electrolysis is most often used for small delicate jobs such as tidying up the eyebrows or removing a unibrow.

The best men’s hair removal technique is using a hair removal cream. The number rated cream on the market is from Revitol. Their cream is number one for a number of reasons. But the main reason why they have the number one cream is, Revitol provide a hair removal cream that works, it does what it says it’s going too better than any other cream. The price is competitive against all other creams, but the others don’t have the quality. Revitol have such confidence in their product that they back it with a money back guarantee.

A hair roller is a machine that is used in hair care for styling and curling, and with a blowdryer. The basic working method of a hair roller is : it breaks down the hair’s hydrogen bonds, present in the hair’s cortex, thus causing the hair to bend and become curly. The breaking of the hydrogen bonds leads to the hair being prevented from holding their original form and style.

However, these hydrogen bonds can be reformed in the presence of moisture. Electric
variety of these hair rollers are called as heated hair roller. This is a tool which is used to curl the hair with the use of heat. The diameter of these hair rollers can be anything ranging from 0.8 inches to 1.4 inches. The hair rollers are basically used to give shape and volume to the hairstyle.

The first heated hair roller was produced in the year 1966 and was produced by
Panasonic, and they are called as hot curler. The two main brands of hair rollers are Conair (Babyliss) and Remington. These hair rollers are for those women who are styling their hair with a brush and a blow dryer with difficulty. Hair rollers help these women on bad hair days.

Hair style with a hair roller will stay longer and can come to the aid of those in need of quick solution to unruly hair. Before the advent of Velcro, hair rollers had to be pinned in place.

However, with the introduction of Velcro, this is now no longer required.
The working of a heated hair roller is pretty simple. When they are supplied with electric current, the device gets heated up. There is a signaling device in a light which will indicate that the rollers are now ready for use. You can then introduce the roller in the hair by starting at the tip and moving upwards towards the curled portion. Then the rollers are clipped in place and allowed to cool before they are removed. Although hair rollers come out to be more expensive as compared to a curling iron, the curls that they provide the hair with, last much longer, than those formed by the curling iron, and will give a full head of curls.

The heated hair rollers contain some wax inside them and this wax gets heated when the device is plugged in to the power source. Hot rollers invariably take approximately 10 minutes to heat up, approximately 15-20 minutes to apply and finally 15 minutes for setting the hair in place.

Some more time would be required depending upon the hair style that you intend to have. In order to retain the curls, a styling spray or gel could be used. The choice of a heated roller would depend upon individual preferences and the texture of the hair. It is always better to try them out in your hair so that you know that they will work well with your hair type.

The first time I took up hairdressing was that day after I saw what a beautiful hair stream my little niece had. As a matter of fact, straight hair is rare in my family. Like me, all my cousins inherit curled hair from our ancestors. Although, it looks more like a cute doll with curls, I prefer straight hair since all my favorite celebrities wear long hair upright to the waist. They just look so fantastic in my eye.

Therefore, motivated by some of my friends, I split the cost with them to buy a GHD straightener. Since I use it, rather than own it, I have to share the straightener with others. My turn comes every Friday, which I think is fine with me, for I have the following two empty days to use it. By the way, as buying GHD is my recommendation, I have the priority to use it first. It is both a fortunate and a disaster for me.

Excited by the smart thing, I couldn’t wait to open it. But since I was totally inexperienced in that kind of stuff, I just couldn’t figure out where should I conduct the electricity to. At a loss, I had no choice but to select one of the points at random to link. Unfortunately enough, the whole electrical system broke down. I could even catch signs of little sparkles from time to time. But, thanks to the eager help from GHD staff, I finally put the situation under control. Besides, due to their patient and specific explanation with demonstration, I became the first one to grasp the skill of how to use it smartly among my friends.

Since then, I can make full use of the GHD straightener to create various hairstyles. Through the process of drawing, experimenting and improving, I let go of my imagination and illusion to work out innovation and creativity. In a much quieter and easier way, I implement my unique thoughts and play my individuality to the full. For me, hair designer is more than just a matter of feminine favor for beauty, it is also a platform where originality is utilized and personality is respected; where friendship goes perfectly hand in hand with rivalry; where comparison and cooperation is integrated; where every one of us can enjoy the time for showing, sharing and appreciating.

This is GHD straightener, my Great Hair Designer and also my great life designer.
