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.

Mens Hair Styling Products

There are so many hair styling products for men on the market, how do you know which one to use?

There are so many mens hair styling products, how do you know which one to use?

The best way, is to ask an expect. Like one of the barbers at our very own Pall Mall Barbers shops in Central London.  With their collective experience of cutting and styling men’s hair, they’ll know exactly which of their mens hair styling products to use to get the look that you want.

One thing we often find, is that men like to stick to what they know.  Whether that’s the hairstyle they’ve sported for years, or the products they’ve been using.  Have a chat to your barber next time you’re in and you’ll be surprised to learn that you could get a better result or finish to your hair, with something other than the hair styling product you’ve relied on for so long.

Our range of mens hair styling products has been developed over many years using the finest ingredients – ones that really work, and also smell great. And we’ve tried and tested them with the people that matter – our customers, to make sure that they definitely do what they say on the tin.

Whether you want a smooth slicked back look, like that of those Mad Men Don Draper and Peter Campbell, or maybe you prefer a more rugged, casual and messy style like Prince Harry likes to sport, then we’ll have just the right hair styling products for you.

Your barber will advise you and show how to use the product properly – we always suggest that you use a little bit first, warm it between your hands and then apply it. We’ve even created a load of videos to give you advice  on how to use them if you can’t call into our barber shops. Why not head over to the Pall Mall Barbers YouTube Channel and have a look.

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.

Get the Look - Hugh Jackman

Hugh Jackman always comes across as very professional and confident, but he's also a bit edgy.  We like to think of him as stylishly cool.

So if you want to Get the Look of the star of Les Miserables, X Men and Wolverine, here is our advice on how to get your hair cut, how to style it and which products to use.

Book an appointment at a men's barbers and ask him to scissor cut the back and sides of your hair  to around an inch in length, whilst leaving the hair resting on the top of the ears. We'd actually recommend taking along a phone of Hugh Jackman with you, just in case to show your barber exactly the type of look you want to achieve. You can book an appointment at our London barber shops online.

With the top of the hair, your barber should take a section in the middle and cut this to around 2.5”.  This will be used as a guide to then connect the remaining hair to this. Ensure the hair is cut neutrally and not left longer on any one side.

To finish this style off, we would recommend blow drying it using a small round brush and push from left to right. This will get some volume into the roots.  Once the hair is dry, point cut into the hair. This adds texture and allows the styling product to flow through the hair. Point cutting should always be done when the hair is fully dry so that you can see where the texture needs to be added.

To finish your Hugh Jackman look, we'd recommend a great product like Pall Mall Barbers Texture Enhancer.  Use a small amount, warm it through your hands and then just run your fingers through your hair, topping off this look by pushing your hair back slightly when the hair is dry. This gives a stylish yet care free look. If you want to buy some of this product, call into our London barber shops or get it online along with a range of other men's hair styling products.

We've got a great short video, where Dan from Pall Mall Barbers is demonstrating exactly how to use this product.  Hugh Jackman hair styling video
