A simple, effective grooming routine—straight from the barbers at Tommy Gun’s Original Barbershop.
Looking sharp isn’t about spending hours in front of the mirror—it’s about consistency and using the right products. A solid daily grooming routine keeps your hair, beard, and skin looking fresh from morning to night.
Here’s how to master your routine, step by step, from the shower to the final style.
1. Start Strong in the Shower
Great grooming begins with proper cleansing. Use a professional shampoo that matches your hair type to avoid dryness or buildup. Conditioning is just as important—it improves manageability, shine, and overall style control.
Normal/Oily Hair- EVO Normal Persons Daily Shampoo gently removes excess oil and buildup while maintaining moisture and shine.
- Finished with Paul Mitchell Classic The Conditioner, it softens hair and prevents dryness for smooth, balanced hydration.
Dry/Damaged Hair
- Redken Brews Daily Shampoo gently cleanses hair for daily use without stripping moisture, strengthening it while keeping it soft and manageable.
- Paired with Uppercut Strength & Restore Conditioner, it hydrates, strengthens, and revives dry or damaged hair without weighing it down.
2. Care for Your Beard While You Wash
If you have facial hair, treat it differently than your scalp. Use dedicated beard washes that gently clean while keeping hair and skin hydrated.
Try The Bearded Chap Rugged Original Beard Wash; it gently cleanses without stripping oils, keeping beard and skin clean, soft, and refreshed.
Or Billy Jealousy Beard Wash to hydrate, soften, and tame even the wildest beards with a healthy, polished finish.
3. Towel-Dry, Don’t Rough It Up
After the shower, pat your hair dry instead of aggressively rubbing it. This reduces frizz and breakage while keeping your natural texture intact—especially important for medium and longer styles.
4. Prep Before Styling
Prepping your hair makes styling easier and longer-lasting. For added volume and texture, apply a small amount of sea salt spray or lightweight styling cream to damp hair before drying.
5. Blow-Dry for Control and Shape
A quick blow-dry adds structure and shape to your style—use medium heat and guide hair with your fingers or a brush. For effortless results, try the BaBylissPRO Rapido Hairdryer—ultra-light, fast-drying, and quiet, with 2 speeds, 3 heat settings, 2 concentrator nozzles, and a built-in ion generator for smooth, frizz-free hair.
6. Choose the Right Styling Product
Match your styling product to your desired finish:
- Layrite Original Pomade for classic, polished styles with medium hold and shine while conditioning hair and scalp.
- American Crew Classic Defining Paste adds natural texture and pliable hold with low shine, perfect for defined, versatile styles.
- Suavecito Beard Balm shapes and softens the beard, moisturizing skin for natural, flexible movement.
Start with a small amount and build only if needed.
7. Finish Your Beard Routine
Apply beard oil to soften facial hair and add light control. Use L3VEL3™ Beard Oil to soften facial hair, add light control, and keep your beard comfortable, conditioned, and naturally smooth all day.
8. Don’t Forget Skin Care
Healthy skin supports great grooming. After shaving or washing your face, use a lightweight moisturizer or aftershave to calm and hydrate the skin.
