Winter doesn’t have to be drab and grey, spread some colour your way with magazine’s Men’s Hairdresser of the Year Jonathan Andrew’s guide to colour and hair maintenance. It’s not just your car that needs an MOT

from time to time!

KEEP IT COLOURFULColour has been a big deal for a while, but this year we’ve seen massive steps taken in the male market. Personally, I think it’s great that so many guys are trying out new things, rather than just covering the grey. The irony here is that the biggest colour trend for men in 2016 has been grey! With so many options, there’s no limit to what you can do! Some guys just want subtle highlights to add definitions, whilst some want a total change.

If you’re considering a big change, why not opt for a semi-permanent colour? It gradually washes out over time and is perfect for those who don’t want to commit fully. The most important thing – if you’re having colour for the first time – is to ensure you have a skin test.  This ensures you have no Fe

this month, I’m putting the spotlight on James Bond himself, mr Daniel Craig, who’s an excellent example of how to deal with thinning hair. the hair team for Spectre cut his hair in a great style for his hair type, and it’s great inspiration for those who are dealing with hair loss; the back and sides were taken short which automatically made the top look thicker and fuller. One thing I will say is try and keep it soft as this makes the style look less aggressive, giving you a smart look for the office and a more casual look for the weekend. the top is cut shorter at the back and progressively gets longer towards the front which helps disguise any problem areas. short hair can still look both professional and cool at the same time.

MAN OF THE MONTH GUESS WHO’S BEEN IN...This month I had model and singer Josh Cuthbert in the salon. Keeping his look on trend, we went for a short tapered skin fade, taking it high then maintaining some of the length on the top to retain that solid profile shape.

allergies to the colour and will help to prevent any possible reactions. Just be sure to visit the salon at least 24 hours prior to the appointment.

HaIR LOSSIn men’s hairdressing, hair loss is probably the most discussed topic – other than how to get hair like David Beckham! Hair loss affects many men, but fear not, we now live in a time where there’s a whole host of options to combat thinning hair. Let me talk you through some of the FAQs I get on a daily basis:

WHaT aBOUT a TRaNSPLaNT?With modern technology this is a very feasible option but it’s costly. However, it’s a great way to fill in your hairline

and thicken out your hair. There are a few ways it can be done and some of these are more painful than others, but the results can be amazing. Find a reputable surgeon – this isn’t the time to scrimp on quality!

TOO COSTLY? WHaT ELSE CaN I DO?Hair transplants aren’t for everyone so thankfully there are other ways to help you out. Sprays and fibres are one of the newest to market. Try MR. Jamie Stevens Disguise Spray to add colour to your scalp – making your hair look thicker and fuller. The spray uses water resistant polymers that when dry will not run unless you physically shampoo your hair. Apply some fibres on top from the MR Jamie Stevens range to finish off your look. The fibres are made from micro shredded plant extract which is then colour-encased in keratin and then statically charged to help stick to the hair. Finish with a fixing spray and you’re good to go!

WHaT aBOUT MaINTENaNCE?The key point I make to all of my clients is to look after their hair. Make sure you shampoo and condition it every time you wash it. When you’ve washed it, just pat it dry rather than rubbing as you risk losing more hair.

MANY HAIR-PY RETURNS!Men’s Room celebrates 120 years of Pall Mall BarbersPall Mall Barbers is one of the oldest and most respected barber shops in the UK. Serving London since 1896, the team is celebrating its 120th anniversary this year with a series of in-store events and customer offers.

Men’s Room caught up with its owner of 11 years Richard Marshall for an exclusive chat about razor sharp barbering and old school grooming...

You’ve been established longer than Chelsea

Football Club – what’s the secret of your longevity?Always improving and raising our standards, and balancing keeping up with the times with being true to the roots of Pall Mall Barbers. Techniques adapt and it’s our job to remain up to date with the modern man and his needs.

How has the male grooming market changed since you acquired the business in 2005?Men have been spending lots more time and money on shaving products, and they have proven incredibly popular. We developed a matching service using the product range,

and lots of hairdressers and barbers are adding the Pall Mall Luxury Wet Shave to their service list for their male clients.

Finally, what will be the biggest grooming trend of Winter ‘16?It’s all about the ‘Gentleman’: the modern man with slick, tight cuts. Clean shaven and sharp suits, shirts and shoes. Classicism.

As the temperatures drop many of us may be turning up our thermostats and having hot showers. Whilst this may seem like the best way to ward off the winter chill it can have detrimental effects not only on our skin but our hair, too. The problem is that washing strips the hair and skin of its natural oils, resulting in brittle hair and dry, flaky skin. To combat this opt for products containing premium natural oils such as Sicilian olive oil and almond oil to help nourish the hair and soothe the skin. Over-shampooing is also a factor in drying out the hair. Whilst shampooing keeps beards and hair clean, harsh shampoos can strip away the natural oils. A mild shampoo and beard wash will gently clean whilst helping to retain moisture.  Keeping your beard looking great throughout the year also requires the right tools and product for different seasons. Invest in a high quality aftershave product, in particular one that can penetrate the beard and reach the skin beneath. Look out for ingredients that will nourish the skin such as calendula extract, a natural remedy that helps to soothe skin irritation which can be more prevalent in colder weather.It’s also important to remember to give our beards a regular tidy up with a visit to the barbers. Just as a split end on our head signifies damaged hair, a split end on our beard also indicates damage. Leaving a split end will result in it splitting down to the follicle and falling out, whereas trimming the damage will keep your beard looking sharp.advice courtesy of BIG BOY co-founders andrius Vorobjovas and Massimiliano Luca Comella.

HaIR FaCT: When Richard acquired PMB he was determined to offer a traditional service in a modern manner for the British gent and set to bring the business back to its roots. He traced the origin and history of the barbers back through the ages, finding an old business card labelled the Pall Mall Toilet Saloon dated around 1910. His detective work uncovered that the barbers had other locations around London and its own brand of products.
