​“Men have become more invested in styling and care routines with an eagerness to learn which products are best for their specific hair type, texture and desired result— and most importantly, how to use them effectively,” he explained. “With the rise of social media, men have greater access to grooming inspiration and education, from their favorite celebrities to their local barber.

“There has also been a shift towards more relaxed and casual grooming and styling trends, reflecting changes in work environments and lifestyle preferences,” Garcia added.

“We’ve seen an enormous explosion in the men’s grooming category during the past 10 years,” concurred Laurence Hegart, co-founder of Reuzel, a men’s grooming line. “There’s been a huge increase in the number of barbershops, and hair salons that have dedicated male grooming areas.”

Sam Lewkowict, co-founder of Black Wolf Nation, told Happi, men have just entered one of the most competitive dating landscapes in human history.
