Bumble and Bumble Grooming Creme

Today's gent is always battering the hell out of his hair with pomades and waxes and what-not. They offer great hold and shine but are they any good for your hair? I'd recommend going easy on the grease for a time and using a cream every now and then. You can substitute hold for a looser, tousled look (a la Gene Vincent!) and restore a little of your hair's natural oil balance.

Rather like good old-fashioned Brylcreem, Bumble and Bumble's Grooming Creme "grooms without gumming". Just put a little on your palm and run your fingers through your hair. It's also particularly good for Afro hair-types or anyone who has coarser, dryer hair.






















This cream is carefully blended with a mixture of safflower and jojoba oils (for a light sheen), and avocado and almond oils (for moisturising). The scent is refreshingly neutral, rather like Dove soap for example. £22 will get you a large (150 ml) tube, which will last you some time. Not as cheap as Brylcreem, but a good product.
