12 BIGGEST Grooming Mistakes MOST Young Men Make {& How to Fix Each}!

March 25, 2022
I’m  your grooming Yoda, so why are you doing me like this? I even see super studly stallions making these grooming mistakes, and it breaks my tender little grooming heart. I know you can do so much better! Here are the worst grooming mistakes most young guys are making on the regular.

Choose NOT to be a savage!

  1. Disgusting nails — take care of your hands, nails, and cuticles. Invest in a manicure kit and Vaseline. Also, make sure your toenails are cut and your feet are not calloused or crusty by using a pumice stone or foot file.
  2. Not exfoliating — need to do this after manscaping or in the shower. You need to remove the top layer of skin with bacteria (aka odor) with a silicone brush, loofah (recommended), or bristle brush. For your back, use a scrubbing tool with a handle.
  3. Edging too far under your chin — if you do this, you will look fat even if you’re not. Check out my demonstration.
  4. Shaving a unibrow — don’t shave your brows because you’ll have stubble. Use a high quality pair of tweezers.
  5. Not manscaping properly — take the bulk of your man-bush out. Monster man-bushes trap odor. Plus, Big Al looks smaller. Use a grooming tool to take the hair down and then shave your balls.
  6. Having stinky balls — powder your junk & booty crack daily after you get out of the shower with a talc-free body & balls powder. You will be kept drier and smelling nice.
  7. Using too much hair product — if you need more, you have the wrong product. Another tip is to use a sea salt prestyler before using your styling product.
  8. Rocking a beard that’s not ready — use a boar bristle beard brush to train your hair to grow over thinner areas and to stimulate hair growth.
  9. Shaving off your sideburns — sideburns give your hairstyle balance and boundaries. If you have a skin fade, you don’t need sideburns.
  10. Not maintaining your monster beard — don’t grow your mustache into your mouth. Taper your beard down the sides and longer on the chin.
  11. Not using hair conditioner — even if your hair is short, your hair will be stronger and hydrated with conditioner.
  12. Popping pimples — popping and picking pimples with your fingers will make acne worse. Use blackhead and acne tools, dipping each in rubbing alcohol to sanitize first.
