Brad Pitt. Ron Swanson. David Beckham. These men are the epitome of masculinity, and what do they all have in common? Great facial hair. Even if you rock the clean-shaven look, what guy doesn’t desire growing a lumberjack-worthy beard or mustache once in a while? But if disappointment strikes as every attempt leads to patchy spots and sparse hairs—you’re not alone.
Even if you stem from a long line of proudly balding patriarchs, no one loves the moment they begin to lose their hair. Despite the fact over half of all men experience hair loss before age 50, the embarrassment and frustration of seeing more scalp and fewer locks is inevitable.
There are plenty of myths out there regarding hair loss. Does wearing hats really lead to baldness? Nope. Is your mother’s father the only one to blame for that receding hairline? Unlikely. Can times of severe stress lead to hair loss? Actually, yes!
Few parts of our daily routine feel as incredible as a freshly washed mane. The smell of shampoo. The impeccable shine. The sense of peak cleanliness. It really is hard to beat a good scrub.

We love to look our best, and often it all starts with the hair. What’s a better way to enhance our natural look than with a fantastic, fresh new color? Maybe it’s to cover up those greys, add a little edge, or just change up your everyday appearance. No matter the reason, there’s no denying we’re obsessed with dying our locks.
