Top 10 grooming gaffes men make



You can have a closet full of designer suits, maintain a stable of exotic sports cars and date a supermodel, but if you're guilty of any of these grooming gaffes… you're just a poseur Top 10 grooming gaffes men make -By Aditya Mehta

1. Nose Hair- If your beak looks like a haunted forest, a little trimming is definitely in order. To eliminate pesky hairs, try a nose hair trimmer.

2. The uni-brow eyebrows are referred to in the plural because people are supposed to have a set. So, if you are the unlucky owner of a continuous "uni-brow" … it's time to do some division. To remove unwanted hairs, use tweezers to grip hairs at their base and pull in the direction of hair growth. A longer-term solution is a quality waxing kit.

3. B.O.- When you just can’t blame the dog any longer, try a scented body wash or nice cologne. Also, don’t underestimate the power of a good deodorant.

4. Bad Breath- If your breath has more kick than Bruce Lee, spend a little more time brushing (specifically your tongue). For additional help, give your mouthwash a solid 30-second gargle.

5. Missed Shaving Spots- In some cultures, a single dime-sized patch of hair on a man's chin or throat is considered "charming. Make sure this doesn't happen to you by always conducting a post-shave review of your tough-to-shave areas (i.e., right under your nose). Then, eliminate any stragglers.

6. Gnarled Mitts- A man's hands don't need to look pretty, but they should certainly be presentable. After all, your mitts are the first thing you offer a prospective boss or wife. To keep your hands looking good, get a manicure every now and then and use a hand moisturizer daily.

7. The Comb-Over- Need we say more?

8. Mismatched Cologne- A cologne may smell great out of the bottle, but less than pleasant once you put it on your body. That's because everyone's body chemistry is unique and certain fragrances just don't fare well on certain people. Cologne isn't supposed to make you stink… so try it on and give yourself a whiff before you buy.

9. Yellow Teeth- The term is “pearly whites”-– not “rusty yellows.” Keep your chompers sparkling with the aid of a whitening toothpaste. Professional whitening systems can also do the trick.

10. Neck Hair- You know that hair that accumulates on your neck in-between haircuts? Well, if there’s enough to braid, you might want to address it. Most barbers offer this service for a reasonable fee.
