There comes a point in every man’s life when his wash bag (you’re not still flinging things in carrier bags, right?) must contain more than the student staple of two-in-one shampoo and a bit of wax. If you’re not already past that milestone as far as your barnet goes, take the new year, new you mantra to your hair. Your follicles will thank you.

Whether you’re certain you’ve inherited grandad’s hairline or you’re just worried about hair thinning in the future – as with wrinkles, treatment should begin before it shows. This Renessence Follicle Forever Serum contains Mirroirte, which stimulates stem cells in dormant follicles and results in the growth of stronger, healthier locks.

Lavett & Chin Hair Moisturiser

Moisturizing your face is a non-negotiable in 2017, but moisturizing your hair might not have reached the top of your grooming to-dos yet. Made to counteract polluted city living, Lavett & Chin’s antioxidant and amino-rich conditioner provides hydration and scalp care for barnets that look as unloved as Boris’.

Dyson Supersonic

If you’re a man who likes his gadgets, you will have undoubtedly heard about Dyson’s debut hairdryer. Created by engineers, it’s quiet, keeps your hair in great condition and, well, it looks like something off the Starship Enterprise. However, it was bright pink, so you probably don’t own it yet. Thank the hair gods for hearing our prayers and convincing the British firm to bring out a white and silver colorway that won’t jar with your lad-pad design too much.
