So, last week I’m standing in the drugstore, staring at this never-ending parade of “men’s” shampoos—every bottle yelling about “volumizing,” “revitalizing,” and, for some reason, charcoal. Since when is charcoal a hair thing? I counted at least three bottles promising “cooling” mint, “root activator,” and all that. And then I remembered my barber, who once […]

Alright, so I sit down for a haircut—twenty minutes, tops—and then get handed a bill that feels like I accidentally ordered the chef’s tasting menu. No, I’m not losing it: in some cities, the average men’s haircut is pushing $50 this year. Barbers blame rent, utility bills, and, apparently, even the cost of keeping their […]

Left my gym bag at home last week—still mad about it. All day, I kept remembering that thick hair cream I’d just smeared on with zero thought, and honestly? No one ever warns you about the creeping oil slick at your roots halfway through a meeting. Guys just grab whatever’s on the shelf, thinking, “Sure, […]

So, thickening shampoo. Let’s just admit most of us picture some neon-green bottle from the ‘90s, reeking of cheap cologne and promising hair like a Marvel superhero. I used to think it was all a joke, honestly. But then I watched my old roommate—guy was losing hair by the handful—try some biotin-and-caffeine thing, and suddenly […]

So the last time I tried to get my neckline cleaned up, nobody at the shop batted an eye, but the price? Yeah, it’s creeping up again. I swear these “quick” trims—like a neck taper or edge-up—are the sneakiest price jumps in the whole place. Full cuts? Those get announced, but little touch-ups just… drift […]

Onion juice? Gave up after three days—my apartment smelled like a failed stir-fry, and my hairline didn’t move a millimeter. Not a single dermatologist I actually trust has ever said, “Yeah, go ahead, rub soup on your scalp.” Apparently, a ton of hair loss “remedies” are just money pits, and some might even make things […]

Okay, so picture me, half-awake, blasting this “miracle” thickening spray at my scalp over the bathroom sink, hoping for magic, but mostly getting… meh, slightly less limp roots. Every men’s magazine screams about these daily “filler” mists, like they’re the secret handshake to hair confidence. SPF 30 is apparently enough—at least that’s what one dermatologist […]
