Being well groomed is by no means essential to being a man. But it sure can be nice. Here are some quick and easy grooming tips that you can do on a daily basis that may be worth considering.
1. Have a dandruff problem? Coconut oil and cold showers to the rescue!
According to an ancient remedy that actually works, you need to first kill the fungus that’s causing the dandruff with good old-fashioned coconut oil. Apply it to your scalp once a day. And then just avoid hot showers, as the hot water dries out your scalp and aggravates the dandruff.

2. Don’t shave right before an event or meeting
Try to shave the night before instead. Giving yourself at least 4-5 hours in between a shave and an important event will ensure your face won’t be red and irritated.
3. Cut back on excessive drinking
Alcohol contains a lot of sugar, which can damage your skin in the same way that sunlight and smoking do. So if you’re looking for a way to improve your complexion, you might want to take it easy on the drinks.

4. Keep spoons in the freezer
Do you get puffy eyes when you are sleep-deprived? Just put two spoons in the freezer when you wake up and put them on the puffed up eyelids. The chilled steel will help you look fresh.
5. Find a good hairdresser – and keep him or her for life
Choose someone you trust and get to know him. It’s best to be able to be yourself with your stylist and not be awkward in telling him what you like and don’t like.
6. Get timely haircuts … even if you have longer hair
Getting a haircut every 2 to 3 weeks is a decent time in normal cases. If you have slow growth, then 3-4 weeks is a good.
7. Know your skin type
Buying suitable products for your skin type is important for maintaining it. Don’t know your skin type? Check out this helpful article.

8. Moisturize
After you wash your face, the moisture in your skin needs to be replaced. A thin layer of moisturizer applied to slightly damp skin will ensure that the skin is getting the hydration it needs.
