Thinning Hair

Thinning hair can really affect a man's confidence and as a result, we may stay in denial trying all sorts of tricks to cover it up. But as Dan Davies, the General Manager of Pall Mall Barbers would advise, it's far better to work with it, getting the right cut and using the right products, rather than trying to disguise it.

Dan's expert opinion on thinning hair has been quoted on Fashionbeans.com, the complete fashion, style, fitness and grooming guide for the modern gent. With their team of industry experts, Fashionbeans.com provide the everyday male with the latest advice, inspiration and guides to looking their best daily and has over 1 million readers a month.

First of all, Dan suggests getting it cut rather than trying to grow the thinning hair and then using a matt hair styling product like Pall Mall Barbers Pliable Clay. This has been developed, tried and tested by our professional barbers at our barber shops in London and will give definition to shorter styles of mens hair. Pliable Clay is great for creating styles that can be reworked during the day too, especially if you're going out after work or have a really busy day ahead. It comes in 2 sizes and can be bought online or in any of our Central London barber shops.

If you want to try some Pliable Clay and are not quite sure how to use it, we've got a great video of Dan explaining how much to use and exactly how to apply it. Check out the Pall Mall Barbers youtube channel and watch the video.

And remember, if you're starting to notice thinning hair, book in for a good haircut at Pall Mall Barbers, get their advice on the right products to use and how to style your hair - you'll look and feel much better.

Shampoo for Men

Is shampoo for men really better than using just any old shampoo?

In our opinion, we would say yes, definitely.

 Pall Mall Barbers have been around a very long time - since 1896 in fact! So we have loads of experience in cutting men's hair and which products to use, and that includes shampoo for men - that means we really know what we're talking about.

We've even developed our own shampoo for men to apply all that knowledge and experience to produce a great product using the best ingredients to give men's hair the best treatment and to get it in the most amazing condition possible,

Using a shampoo for men that has been designed specifically for the needs to men is really the best type of shampoo to use.  Men's hair is different to womens, so a shampoo for men will make a difference to your hair.  Even more so if you use a shampoo that is then tailored to your particular hair type - like dry or oil..

At Pall Mall Barbers, we have developed two types of shampoo for men - one with Argan Oil and one with Tea Tree Oil.  But which is best for you? The Argan Oil one that is great for drier hair and one with Tea Tree Oil that is more suited to guys with a slightly greasier scalp or hair.

Pall Mall Barbers Argan Oil shampoo for men is a luxurious and powerful Argan enriched conditioner for vitality and lustre. This shampoo for men is recommended to be used on a daily basis and it was designed especially to improve shine and strength of the hair.

The main ingredient is Argan Oil that is rich in Vitamin E and comes from a natural plant oil produced from the kernels of the Argan tree that is endemic to Morocco. T

With Pall Mall Barbers Luxury Tea Tree shampoo for men you can benefit from the soothing properties of tea tree and eucalyptus oils. Ideal for itchy and flaking scalps, but also suitable for all hair types.

Both shampoo for men come in 250ml pump dispensers and are available online on Pall Mall Barbers men's shampoo and conditioners  page or in any of our Central London barbers shops.

David Beckham's Hairstyle - Style Tips from Pall Mall Barbers

David Beckham's hairstyle always seems to be changing and over the years he's certainly entertained some weird and wonderful hairstyles, but at Pall Mall Barbers  in London,we particularly liked his retro 50’s look.

Whatever style he rocks, he always looks good and he's the men's style icon that we get asked most for by our customers - who want to know the best men's haircut and men's hair styling products to use. So we've put together this Get the Look of David Beckham's hairstyle just for you.

Be prepared though, looking this good does take some maintenance even for David Beckham - you'll need to blow dry and style your hair, but it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes once you get the hang of it.

We'd suggest booking in for a restyle at one of our barbers shops in London for your first appointment and then follow up with a cut and wash every 3 to 4 weeks.  You can book an appointment online here or just phone up one of our barbers shop, here are their locations.

To get this particular David Beckham's hairstyle, your Pall Mall Barber will expertly section your hair off, the clippering then takes place. This is done evenly all the way round. The top of the hair is then cut, starting longer at the fringe (bang) area. Going slightly shorter towards the crown area.

Blowdrying is essential to this hair style and a small round brush would need to be used to gain volume and smooth out the hair this should be done with a small amount of Pall Mall Barbers’ Light Dress Cream being applied when damp and before drying. Finally to finish your David Beckham look, when the hair is dry for a natural look use Pall Mall Barbers Pliable Clay to give it a little more hold.

You can  buy both products online, on the mens hair styling products page.
