Decoding Facial Hair in the Middle East: More than a Style Statement! In the Arab world, men’s beards are more than a personal style statement, they’re bound up with various complex religious and political currents too.

For once, guys are realizing that it’s okay to take care of themselves. And they might just gain some confidence in the process. 1. Merman Hair Joe Jonas has found his second wind as the frontman of...

Men of fashion began to wear short and more natural hair at the end of the 18th century, sporting cropped curls and long sideburns in a classical manner much like Grecian warriors and Roman senators. Before this period, a balding Louis XIII had made powdered wigs popular at the French court and consequently throughout Europe. The often elaborate and expensive gray wigs lent an air of wisdom and authority to their wearers. A scarcity of flour in 1795, combined with William Pitt’s attempt to raise revenue through a hair powder tax, brought the fashion for wigs and powder to a screeching halt. Men protested and a new more natural hair style became fashionable. The Bedford Crop was a...

There comes a time in every man’s life when he wakes up, rolls (half-heartedly) out of bed, takes a look in the mirror and jumps nearly a mile backward in horror of the caveman staring back at him. Even though not every guy likes to grow facial hair, every guy does— to a degree. Whether it’s a handlebar mustache, goatee, or full-on lumberjack forest exploding from your chin, every guy knows his own stubble. However, not everyone knows some good ways (or even the right way) to tame what may sometimes seem like a labyrinth of scraggly fuzz. So how exactly do we define facial hair? To make it easy, let’s break it down into some simple categories. The Stubble– Gone a couple days without...
