Groom your grooms-to-be to achieve an effortless style on their wedding day!
Celebrations and preparations for the wedding season have kick-started in full swing. The grooms are equally invested and on the top of their game in looking as good as the brides.
The evolving male grooming industry has redirected men’s mindset about prioritizing personal care and grooming. Just as brides aim to look like a showstopper on their wedding day, the millennial grooms desire to take the center-stage by putting their best foot forward in terms of styling and looks.
Posing as true saviors, the barbers and their team have impeccable expertise in changing the game for the grooms. StyleSpeak brings expert insights from experts Bony Sasidharan and Ryan D’Rozario on grooming tips for grooms, this wedding season.
Beard Management:
Beards need consistent care and nourishment to achieve a sharp and clean look. However, beard grooming comes with its own challenges and its management is not a cakewalk. But with the right guidance and styling from a thorough professional, grooms can steal the show on their D-Day.
Bony Sasidharan, National Key Accounts Manager (PPS), Schwarzkopf Professional and HBS Hair Jury member says, “Beard management involves skincare and ensuring beard hygiene simultaneously. The right approach is to use professional products to wash and condition beard hair, followed by beard oil, blow-dry and beard wax to ensure it stays intact.”
He further highlights that beard management can be daunting and requires a commitment to ensure a well-groomed and maintained mane.
“I highly recommend grooms to have a short, well-trimmed beard on their D-Day as it is easy-going, comfortable, less time-consuming and effortlessly styled.” – Bony Sasidharan
Trending Beard Styles:
There is an array of beard styling options for the grooms in the house. The most trending beard styles are slight gentle fade, well-trimmed and short beards. Beard looks are getting more refined these days and men love beards as they come with a lot of compliments. Professionals can share reference pictures with the grooms to understand their requirements and get the desired beard look, concludes Bony.
Grooming Essentials:
Grooming is no more a luxury but a necessity that speaks volumes about a man’s personality.
Ryan D’Rozario, Director & Owner, Salon MUAH and HBS Hair Jury member throws light on the grooming essentials and tools.
