Our latest discovery is [3D]MENSION, Schwarzkopf Professional’s first haircare brand that’s 100 per cent engineered for men’s hair. It focuses on key concerns: looking after the scalp to beat dandruff and reduce hair loss, styling without greasiness and keeping colour looking natural. There’s shampoo, conditioner and a large range of styling products, but the hero is the Grey Blend range: at a salon, you can have greys blended away in a subtle, natural way with no heavy dye (and the best thing is, it’s done at the backwash sink, not in the styling chair, so it’s discreet and fast).

EARN YOUR WINGS
Wingman deodorising wipes are the brainchild of Stuart Jolley who recently featured in BBC Two’s ‘Britain’s Next Big Thing’, fronted by Theo Paphitis. During the series he secured a contract to stock his product exclusively in Boots and it’s now on sale for £3.56 for a pack of eight. The ‘man-sized’ deodorising wipes have a refreshing mix of soothing aloe vera, cooling peppermint oil and invigorating ginseng. How did Stuart get the idea? While camping with friends. With no showers to use at the campsite they became frustrated using ‘girly’ baby wipes. Shortly after his trip he realised he had spotted a gap in the market, when on a night out clubbing he noticed men wiping their armpits with paper towels to try to mask their body odour. Wingman has to be better than that, right?
RATE THE RANGE Unlike so many high street celeb hairdresser ranges, the Trevor Sorbie MG Grooming range does what it promises. Each product is simple but effective: there’s no fussy pomades or overscented gels, you just choose a product that fits your needs. Stand-out products? The Styling Cream, £5.10, creates a classic, slicked, wet-look, the Two-in-One Shampoo, £5.50, cleans and conditions with anti-oxidant ginseng, and the Moulding Mud, £6.50, shapes and defines and is the easiest hair styling product we’ve reviewed all year: just slick on and go. Find the range at Boots and Debenhams.
