Grooming tips to help him look younger

Admit it ladies, we have it pretty lucky.
While it’s true that our masculine counterparts can sometimes age more gracefully than us, we certainly have the upper hand when it comes to the products (and know-how) on how to look younger.
But on the flip side, our guys are often far more clueless than us! So when his hair starts thinning or balding and his chiseled jawline starts to disappear, he needs a woman to show him the way.
With the help of Men’s Biz men’s grooming expert Glenn Storey, you can help your guy shave years off his appearance thanks to these grooming tips. If he’s got any of the issues below, you’ll know what to do:
IF HIS HAIR IS GREY OR GREYING...
One of the biggest telltale signs of ageing for a man is his hair. “Grey, thinning hair is an obvious sign of ageing,” says Glenn, and with more than 87 per cent of Australian men experiencing some degree of greying*, they need a way to take control of the issue so they can look and feel their best. Help him incorporate a solution that’s easy enough to slot into his routine (because we all know how terrible they are at remembering appointments, right?). Restoria Express For Men won’t fade or wash out and comes with a specially designed applicator brush that allows for quick, easy and controlled application – perfect for targeting those pesky greys in difficult areas like his sideburns. One thing to remember – approach colouring with caution. “A man colouring his hair should aim to achieve only subtle changes,” says Glenn. “Colouring hair too dark will only wash out his skin tone, and make him look older.”

IF HE’S LOSING HIS HAIR (THINNING, BALDING)...
“Long, thinning hair is a bad look”, says Glenn. And quite frankly, we couldn’t agree more. If your guy is experiencing thinning hair or bald spots, Glenn says the best way for him to look more youthful is to keep his hair short. “Often the look of thinning hair can be improved if it’s cut shorter around the back and sides,” says Glenn, who explains that this can help give the illusion of thicker-looking hair on top. If he’s got some balding, a clippered style is the way to go.
IF HE’S SPORTING SOME SERIOUSLY UNWANTED FACIAL HAIR...
When nasal and ear hairs are a problem for your guy, don’t just sit back and watch them grow. Men look younger (for the most part) when their appearance is clean and well-groomed. Unruly, unsightly rogue facial hair is not conducive to a youthful appearance. His solution? Grooming tools. “Taking the time to manage unwanted hairs will make sure he maintains a younger look,” says Glenn. And since it shouldn’t take him longer than five minutes to manage per week, he’s got no excuse.
IF HIS JAWLINE ISN’T SO CHISELED ANYMORE...
Sadly, gravity (commonly known as middle age) is not a man’s best friend. If that chiseled jawline he had when you first met is now starting to disappear, he might want to think about growing a beard. But Glenn warns this only works if he is willing to maintain the upkeep. “Keep it clean. When he looks in the mirror, he should aim to shave the neckline to a point where it is no longer visible,” says Glenn, who also points out that the beard lines should be kept sharp around the cheekbone and stray hairs trimmed regularly to keep the look uniform.

I don't mind a bit of greying hair on a man, it can be a bit charming. Not a big fan of the facial hair though..

My uncle who is in his 60's has the thickest head of hair I have ever seen! It was once brown but is now grey but it is soooo thick, it is so unfair :(

My hubby hasn't had much hair since his his 30's but it actually suits him and he has never worried about it and trying to make himself look younger. Now we clipper it quite short as it looks better. But I don't mind the salt & pepper hair many older guys suit it and its great for them to accept their aging with grace. I hope I can do the same!!

I think both sexes look good with salt and pepper hair. Jamie Lee Curtis rocks it.

If my partner had a beard like in the photo, I'd want to shave it off when he was sleeping.

My man is balding... ok he is a bit older than me, but it really worries him. I don't mind so much cause he keeps it short anyway. Lately tho I've been noticing more hair on both our pillows! Aright baldness is contagious!

I don't know too many guys worried about looking longer. My husband got his first greys in his late teens and was grey before 30. It's never bothered him, in fact it's been a positive point of difference, and he looks great. I don't see George Clooney reaching for the hair dye!

Does anyone know of an unscented shampoo/conditioner suitable for men? My husband's scalp reacts badly to perfumed hair products.

My man has had a few grey hair since he was a teenager. I'm kind of used to it now, don't really want him to change it :p

I am the one responsible for my partners grooming. I use a Hair trimmer and in less than half an hour his head is shaved andso neat and tidy. I also do the other grooming.
