Craig the Barber: Men's biggest hair mistake is wearing hairstyles that do not fit their faces. For example, the faux hawk was a popular style for a while, but many men withrounder faces should steer clear of this style. This is also why a goatee can look great on one man, but not another. Men need to know that haircuts and facial hair need to be complementary to their faceshape, and a good barber will know this and guide you in the right direction.

MH: Do 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioners work?

If you suffer from an oily or dry scalp, it is best that you continue to stock your shower with both. Or, if you are loyal to a 2-in-1 product, try anduse a separate shampoo and conditioner every so often to restore balance to your hair. You can always buy a small set in the travel section of any drugstore.
