QUICK-FIX GROOMING TIPS

6 April, 2021

It’s always the way. Suddenly you’ve got to be somewhere superfast and you are a bit on the grubby side. No time to shower or wash your hair or tweezer that errant mono-brow. When faced with the demands of the instant groom you need a quick-fix kit to hand, at home and at the office.

1. SPEEDY SHAVING

If you really need to shave, then squeeze a little time by multi-tasking. Lather up your stubble and leave it for a while – perhaps before you do your hair? It will soften the hair and make it easier and quicker to shave.

2. DRY SHAMPOO

Come on! You must have this in your drawer or on your shelf? It’s the ultimate instant grooming adding oompf to your hair while battling that greasing droop within seconds. American Crew Tech Series Boost Spray Dry Shampoo is the ultimate can to have, and suits any hairstyle. So step two to a quick fix is spritz with Tech Series Boost Spray.

3. GETTING SALTY

If you don’t have deal with being a grease monkey, perhaps you’ve got a texture problem? The other option is to jazz up the hair with a two-second application of Jacks of London The True Gent Salt Spray to breathe a little bit of instant energy into your hair.

4. SMILE SWEETLY!

It takes two minutes and is probably the ultimate tip to banishing that hoary feeling in jiffy. Brush your teeth and brush away the caked-in grime of the day. You’ll have a sparkly smile, mint-fresh breath and you’ll feel ready almost for anything, especially that up-close moment.

5. SACK THE SMELL

Now, should the up-close-moment escalate you defo don’t want to come up smelling of anything but roses (metaphorically speaking) in the most important area. So make sure the ball powder is to hand. It’s up there with dry shampoo as one of the most essential products in your kit bag. Quick little sprinkle and you’re ready to go.

6. FACING DOWN THE CALLENGE 

Almost ready…you might want to just give your face a quick swipe over with an eco-wipe (that you then dispose of responsibly – i.e. not down the loo). This might be a step you can miss if you’ve had time to shave, but if not, quickly wiping the urban grime you’ve gathered is the quickest way to that shiny clean look.

TEAM PLAYERS

Early October saw two members of our Jacks Art Crew jumping up on stage in front of a few hundred highly critical barbers from around the world to showcase the excellent work coming out of our stores. Did our guys flinch as they clippered and snipped? Of course not; we are all professionals here.
