MAKING THE CUT KEEP IN MIND AN Sport a fresh hairstyle this spring. Gucci sent models down the runway this season with hair trimmed on the sides and left longer AFTERSHAVE DOUBLES on top, known as the undercut. This style works for thick, curly or thin hair and allows for adjustable lengths depending on a guy’s AS COLOGNE, SO CHOOSE preference. Hit snooze and still look stylish by transitioning hair from the SCENTS WISELY. classroom to a casual night out. Daniel Thayer, a junior in industrial engineering, explains that ease of application and timeliness affects his choice of hairstyle and product. Each style described below takes less than three minutes to complete using only two products: a spritz of water and a dollop of hair wax. Robert McMillen, stylist at the Blind Barber in New York City, suggests in an interview with AskMen.com to apply a matte wax or clay to smooth hair back and keep loose strands off the face. The pushed-back look works perfectly for a day in the classroom and gives off a retro vibe—think Elvis Presley but with less grease. For a night out, run a texture wax from the root of the hair to the tip. Then, let the hair fall naturally. A fun, casual and effortless look will result from these two simple steps. To spruce up for an interview or formal event, McMillen recommends using a fine-tooth comb to create a defined side part and brushing over the remaining hair so all pieces lay flat. This hairstyle sports a more conservative, appropriate look fit for a professional setting. Pretty soon, you’ll resemble Don Draper from Mad Men.

CHIN AND TONIC GROOMED TO PERFECTION Guys eventually learn the correct blade, stroke and pressure to use while shaving; however, prep and post-shaving steps are just THE GO-TO GUIDE FOR PROPER GENTLEMEN’S GROOMING as critical as the act itself. Leave your skin feeling fresh by adding just a few simple steps to your daily routine. Exfoliating unclogs pores, cleans skin and unblocks hair follicles. “Exfoliating, for me, helps get rid of dry skin that gives me ingrown hairs,” says Mikey Brown, a senior in communication studies. Gently rub a nickel size of exfoliate cream on the face every three to four days to buff away dead skin cells. No need to scrub—the grit from the exfoliator will accomplish what scrubbing would do. After, use a gentle cleanser to avoid irritation. Exfoliating, shaving, harsh wind and sun exposure can dry out the face, so apply a daily moisturizer to keep the skin looking clean and healthy. Dove, Neutrogena and Nivea carry men’s moisturizers with SPF, available at Target, to hydrate the skin and protect it from sun damage. Aftershave helps prevent infections that result from cuts caused by shaving, according to Health Guidance. However, aftershave also contains a moisturizer to help soothe freshly shaven skin. Keep in mind an aftershave doubles as cologne, so choose wisely when picking a scent. Essential styling products are readily available in Ames. Choose a matte styling gel to keep hair from appearing shiny or hard. Consider ROUGH.RIDER Strong Hold Clay by Kevin Murphy, which retails for about 35 dollars at local salons.
