You're a man and you should act like one. But no one ever said to live like a caveman. The grooming process for a male can be one of the things that gets you with a woman or gets you promoted. Here are 8 basic grooming problems males have and can solve:

1. Degrease your head

Your scalp and hair becomes slick in the morning, when high levels of testosterone rushes oil production. It's best if you use cold water in the morning to rid of all that oil. You need to take your shampoo rinse under chilly water to close the oil emitting pores in your skin. If it's too cold, then just stick your head in there and rinse off.

2. Soften your manly skin

Using an exfoliant on dry, cracked skin with abrasives will only make matters worse. Instead, use a cream with ceramides. "Ceramides most closely mimic the skin's lipids, which becomes deficient in chronically dry hands," says S. Goodlerner, a clinical professor of dermatology at the University of California. Applying it after washing will lock in the moisture.

3. Hair loss

Men nowadays are really concerned with the fact they are going bald. If your hair is thinning out, use drier, lighter styling products or none at all. To avoid gluing follicles together and reducing effective coverage. If you've already lost hair then tough luck, suck it up and drive on. The best thing to do at least would getting a clean cut which always looks better that plugs or comb-over's.

4. Erase the bags from your eyes

The fleshy pillows under your eyes are just a part of your genetic blueprint. Bad behavior can make the bags bigger and stress will accumulate it to puff. Smoking stalls the microcirculation in your skin, causing the tissue underneath to sag and too much sodium can cause your body to flood with water, fattening the pouches. So be wise and sleep early and try not to think of anything after you hit your head on the pillow.

5. Away with the sunburn

This was a good piece and I'm surprised you didn't get more feedback on it.

Very interesting to know. I'd like to have my male clients read this article. I am a nail technician and encourage them to maintain and groom their nails, because when shaking on a deal it will matter. Also, I wish I could tell Lebron James to stop bitting his nails, considering all the bacteria he picks up off that ball and the court.Yuck!!! If he had his nails groomed weekly, he'd have nothing to bite on an the "manEcured" look will really please him. What do you think about manicures for men and their image? Some don't worry about image, but for the professional male or athlete, I'd imagine it mattered.
