So, what exactly does grooming mean for the men? Well, grooming is all about taking a shower every day, brushing your teeth daily, shaving your pubic hair, wearing deodorant, and dressing smart.
Some men out there tend to do a commendable job when it comes to the dressing part and pay very little attention to the other grooming practices. The truth of the matter is that looking fashionable and stylish is not enough when you have unkempt hair, body odor, ashaggy beard, you name it. It quite unfortunate that men end up making such terrible grooming mistakes that even wearing the trendiest outfits or the most expensive ones cannot right their mistakes.

- Messy eyebrows – If you are into fashion and style, then you know that brows are not just for the women to worry about but also for the men. Fact is, man or woman, we all use the eyebrows to express a wide range of emotions.

So, whether you are doing it at home or taking a trip to your beauty parlor, ensure that your brows are clearly-defined at all times. - Nose and ear hair – To cut to the chase, nose and ear hair is gross. So, men to ensure that people concentrate on how handsome you look, rather than staring at the hair in your nose and ears; trim them. It literally takes less than a minute to get rid of that hair. In fashion and style, the general rule of thumb for nose and ear hairs is clear-cut: the ends should never be visible
- Unkempt hair – Your hair plays a very major part in your first impression. Believe it or not, as much as people will look at your face and your choice of clothes (or shoes), they will also look at your hair. And trust me, there is nothing as attractive as a man who is well groomed.
- Poorly Groomed pubic hair – In as much as the pubic area is not visible to the public eye, it is important that you keep those areas clean and well groomed. Not for anyone’s sake (not even your lover), but for your own sake. Make it a habit to trim your pubic hair from time to time because at the end of the day, personal hygiene is important.
- Scruffy finger and tore nails–Just like it is for the women, it is important for men not to underestimate the power of clean and trimmed toe and fingernails. They play a big role when making a positive first impression. Therefore, it is important for men to consider getting a professional manicure and pedicure as part of their grooming procedures.
- Body odor – Every man knows that taking a shower daily is important. And because there are people who are sweatier than others, it is best for you to always wear deodorant or cologne before leaving the house in the morning.
