Half of all men will experience hair loss at some stage in their life. The most unfortunate hand of luck is of course to those who lose it earlier than a majority of men.Well according to British hair research company HairClone, the solution may have been found in something called ‘hair banking’.The theory is as radical and legitimate as it sounds. Existing hair follicles are ‘banked’, cloned and then re-used later on in life as the patient experiences baldness. HairClone believes that millions of adults will be able to extract the follicles from their scalp and put it into storage.The procedure works by targeting the cells within the follicle and multiplying them in a lab. Once hair loss begins to set in, doctors re-inject the follicles back into the patient’s scalp thereby rejuvenating hair growth.Whilst simple in theory, the procedure which is the first of its kind has been dubbed as an ‘insurance policy for your hair’ – and a pricey one at that. Patient’s undergoing ‘hair banking’ treatment will need to perform several treatments of re-injecting the banked follicles with each turn costing several thousand dollars.Medical director of HairClone Dr Bessam Farjo explained to MailOnline that “the point of these treatments is to rejuvenate thinning hairs and eventually to regenerate as many hairs as we need”.“The point of hair cloning is to create as many hairs as we need, at any point in time, without worrying we’re going to run out in the future.”“Many may see this as an insurance policy for later life,” he added.Whilst hair transplants are commonplace these days, HairClone believes that they’re the first to successfully trial this new harvest, clone and rejuvenate technique.“Other groups have tried this but it has been found that when human follicle cells are cultured, they rapidly lose their functionality,” said Dr. Farjo.“Recent scientific breakthroughs however indicate how culture multiplication systems could be developed which is why we have created HairClone Inc. now.”If things go right for Dr. Farjo and his team who are currently securing a licence from the Human Tissue Authority (HTA), consultations with existing patients could begin immediately.

There are limitations to the procedure though and that’s the rate of hair loss. Dr. Farjo suggests that people need to ‘bank’ their healthy follicles as soon as they notice hair loss which for men, could start from 20s, 30s and 40s. Starting early means that there’s more follicles to bank and that patients can maintain a full head of hair.The issue is that at such a young age, most people aren’t exactly rolling in it.HairClone’s procedure costs £2,500 (AU$4,670) for the initial procedure and £100 (AU$186) per year to store the follicles.Dr. Farjo didn’t reveal the cost of the follicle injections as he says the specific figure is “currently very proprietary information”. He does however admit that the price is comparable to premium hair transplant procedures. He also recommends repeating the treatment every three to five years to maintain the full head of hair.Not exactly within reach for many men, but Dr. Farjo argues that his procedure is worth it.“The main limitation of hair transplant surgery is the amount of hair you can donate from your own head.”“The more hair loss you go through, the bigger the bald area, the less hairs available. There comes a point when you simply don’t have the hairs you need.”The procedure has yet to be conducted on a patient but Dr. Farjo says they’re developing the regulatory approvals to ensure the treatments safety and success.Not ready for this radical treatment?

Let’s face it. No man ever wakes up looking like a Chris Hemsworth or Michael B. Jordan. Unless you’re one of those lucky bastards who’ve been blessed with million dollar genes and a dedicated grooming regime to keep appearances up, most guys are on the whole quite average looking.Today we’re talking about genetically blessed men and how to fake it til you make it if you’ve been caned by the ugly stick.Put your pitchfork down, McLovin. We’re not advocating a John Travolta/Nicolas Cage-style face transplants. These are the expert hacks the modern man can use to improve their physical appearance.Watch and learn, future pretty boy.

Shave & Wash Regularly

Shaving is by far one of the easiest and most effective ways to drastically change a man’s outward appearance. It’s also one of the easier routines to neglect due to more pressing issues and the fact that you think you can get away with the “rugged” look for a month. Don’t be that guy – there’s a difference between masculine-rugged and Tom Hanks in Cast Away.If you suffer from irregular hair growth and patchy facial hair, do as the experts say.“If it was really patchy, go clean shaven,” says Renée Baltov of one of Sydney’s finest men’s barbershops, Barberhood. “But if you can do stubble, keep it neat and trimmed. This will mask the patchiness and make it less noticeable.”And never forget to wash both before and after a shave. This will ensure the skin’s pores stay clean, oil-free and unclogged. Not practicing this could lead to acne outbreaks and other unsightly blemishes.

Getting Rid Of Wrinkles

Ah, this old chestnut. Whether you like it or not all men will eventually form wrinkles most commonly on the forehead, hands or around the eyes. There are endless ways to treat wrinkles these days but the best is via a multi-modality treatment – that is, trying various treatments at once.Dr. John Romano who is the Medical Director and leading plastic surgeon at Medspa29 says that the most effective deterrent is prevention. That means no smoking or other tobacco use, and sun protection.“Next you’ll need a good medically based skin care including topical products and MICROdermabrasions. Moving beyond that, if the wrinkles are caused by muscle action, the treatment is Botox or another neuromodulator.”Other injectable treatments men can try is filler. There are numerous types of filler to suit an individual’s wrinkle problem so it’s important to check with a professional beforehand to guide you to the right type. If you go down the filler route, the next consideration moves onto resurfacing.“Resurfacing means to create a superficial injury akin to a first-degree or superficial second degree burn injury. In the process of healing this injury, your skin is restored,” says Romano.“This kind of treatment can be accomplished with lasers, CO2, or chemical peels of varying types of acids and also varying strengths. An older method is to do a dermabrasion (not a MICROdermabrasion, but a full dermabrasion).”Alternatively, keep track of the signs that your skin is ageing and act before it takes complete control.

Solving Sunspots

Australians love the sun just as much as any country with a decent beach to burn away hours on. Lest we forget, a man’s skin is also burning at the same time. Sunspots are really just hyperpigmentation, according to the experts.The treatments available for hyperpigmentation include the same treatments for dark circles around the eyes with the addition of IPL which stands for intense pulsed light.Again, preventative measures are the best defence here so if you’re spending a lot of time outdoors, cover up sufficiently and always have that maximum SPF sun block handy.

Dark Circles & Eye Bags

No one wants to rock up to a date or formal engagement looking like you’ve been beaten up by your partner – twice.For a quick-fix to dark circles, raid your missus’ make-up drawer for some natural skin-coloured concealer. The ladies have sworn by it for ages, using it to cover up imperfections including dark circles and pimples. They come in easy to carry sticks, pots, tubes and wands and work simply by dabbing it onto the affected area before being blended into the skin.On an intrinsic level, dark circles are much harder to solve since the dark pigmentation around the eyes is usually is of genetic origin.“The treatment modalities available are number one,” says Dr. Romano. “That’s skin care with hydroquinone, a skin bleacher. Following this would be treatments such as chemical peels and then CO2 laser resurfacing.”For men who suffer from prominent eye bags, Dr. Romano adds that injecting a filler is the best option.

Acne & Scarring

Your teenage years may be well behind you but the scars it has left on your face probably isn’t doing you any favours in the Tinder game.Treating acne aggressively is the best way to prevent scarring in the first place. Once the scars are there, it’s not easy to ‘fix’ since there’s already damage to the skin itself.“Scarred tissue is thinner than the normal skin and therefore is depressed,” explains Dr. Romano. In lighting situations, shadows can cause these scar depressions to be more prominent so the best way to combat that is by either raising the deeper scar tissue or lowering the higher normal skin around it.Dr. Romano says that numerous treatments men can try include subcision, excision, injections, laser resurfacing, and dermabrasion. The treating physician is the best person to speak to in regards to the best treatment for you.If all else fails, the aforementioned natural skin coloured concealer is your friend.

Clean Your Teeth

We’ve left one of the most basic points til the end. No one wants to lock lips with a man who has a month’s worth of food stuck in his teeth. Even worse, if you’ve left it too late and staining is occurring, it’s time to take action. There are multiple ways to lighten your precious pearlies.The easiest is of course a clean from your dentist (besides the obvious brushing and flossing). Regular checkups and cleans can prevent further damage to a man’s biters. If the stains are persistent, go for an intensive in-office whitening procedure.There’s also a plethora of tried an tested home whitening kits these days which can offer solid results for much less money. Do your research to ensure you grab the right one that’ll give you more results and less gimmicks.

Time To Lift

One of the most unattractive features in a man’s overall body shape is due to his lack of exercise and weight training. Unlike the other pressing issues here, there is no silver bullet.There is however a set of dumbbells and a gym membership, both of which are easily attainable. Besides helping you mentally, training can improve your physique drastically and have you fitting into clothes that contour nicely to your body’s lines. Just be careful not to over do it as this could lead to gym addiction.

The Expert Says…

“In general, the three keys to a good life are diet, exercise, and stress reduction.” says Dr. Romano.“These modalities should be employed to look your best. In addition the other obvious ones are don’t smoke and don’t get too much sun exposure. Beyond that, good medically based skin care is appropriate for everyone, especially those in the high Sun areas like Australia.”

The Realist Says…

“Only go to masked parties like in Eyes Wide Shut,” says Australian comedian and sometimes model, Ash Williams.His other top tips for ugly men?

• Only go out in candle lit situations. Everyone looks good in candle light situations
• Get a friend uglier than you – it’s all relative!
• Grow a really long beard. One that covers your entire face

The post Keep Your Head Warm With 40% Off Luxe MLB Winter Caps appeared first on D'MARGE.

It’s a Saturday night and you’ve been press-ganged into going to the discotheque. So what do you wear to a nightclub if you’re a guy?

Maybe it’s a young relative’s 21^st birthday party you’ve been trying to evade. Or maybe you just can’t let the good times go. Either way, it looks like you’ll need to slide up to the velvet rope and do your best to impress the burly door chap without ending up in a sleeper choke.

As it happens, nightclubs take their wardrobe standards pretty seriously these days and it’s not always easy to walk away from rejection at the door with your pride intact. 

This ‘what to wear to a nightclub’ guide should help you get your wardrobe in order so that you can tell your friends that you went to a nightclub like a sophisticated cool cat.

Wearing A Blazer With A T-Shirt In The Club

Unless you’re making a serious run at Friday night kick-ons and haven’t had a chance to change, it’s not entirely necessary to deck yourself out in a full suit. It’s easy to destroy one at a club, and they’re dry-cleaning only.

That means an errant glass of red wine will become a costly mistake if you’re not lucky enough to avoid a drunken spill. Stick to separates instead. A blazer with a button-down and smart fitted chinos or dark denim is hard to beat. Just lose the tie, and avoid a pocket square as drunk people seem to enjoy using them as a tissue.

However, for drinking establishments that are less club and more bar, a suit might be the difference between an extortionate entry free and breezing through the front door with a nod from the bouncer. 

What colour suit? If it’s a swanky bar a grey, black or navy suit will do just fine – as are separates using these colours. Also make sure your dress shoes are in decent condition – no tatty shoes from your first day on the job. We’re talking about a nice pair of Oxfords, double monks or leather loafers should the weather permit.

If you need help in this department, check out our guide to the best men’s dress shoes for those who know nothing about dress shoes.

Wearing Black & White In The Club

Monochromatic outfits are cool, but looking like one of the floor staff is not. Although black conceals sweat and other defects it’s not terribly adventurous and can look sombre in such a social atmosphere.

Add a white tee to the black jeans, and a navy or khaki bomber jacket instead of the black jacket. Or find a button-up shirt that has a fine monochromatic pattern to give your look a bit more depth like Harry above. 

It’s also important to note that you should stick to a darker colour palette in clubs. A white blazer or light pair of chinos will get totally annihilated in a darkly-lit rave cave where you can’t tiptoe around every unfortunate stain in front of you. Save the lighter garment colours for the summer parties.

The easiest combination? Light coloured shirt up top, black for bottoms. The look can be polished off with either white sneakers or leather shoes or boots depending on the venue.

Wearing A Shirt In The Club

Clubs get bloody hot. They’re poorly ventilated as it is and there’s usually a press of sweaty bodies in the way. And no one wants to wiggle their way out of six layers.

The answer is to keep things cool, light and simple. The threads you’ll want are pieces like denim shirts, linen shirts, fitted crew neck tees and anything that is a single layer.

Patterns and colours are entirely up to your individual taste but if there are two things we’d recommend, it’s to stay away from polyester shirts and always go for a fitted look. Tees are already casual enough so if you go too big you’ll look like an extra for a rap video.

Wearing Expensive Brands In The Club

Put simply, don’t do it. Clubs equal lots of drunken bodies fighting over empty space in booths and at the bar. They’re dark, noisy, and people can lose grasp of situational awareness quick smart once the cheap shots get underway.

The Seamaster, Gucci bomber, and Loro Piana super150 wool-silk-linen blazer are all likely casualties in this setting. Don’t set yourself up for disappointment by wearing your best gear only to witness it being wrecked in a drunken accident. Plus, it’s dark as hell and no one can really see you. 

Our advice is to keep your personal style but pare it down with cheaper options. Instead of rocking your John Elliott jeans, go for a cheaper pair of Nudies which can look just as good but won’t hurt as much if they get stained.

Your plain white tees also don’t need to be A.P.C branded. And definitely leave the Burberry trench (or any trench for that matter) hanging safely in your closet.

Wearing Button Shirts With Trousers In The Club

In most cases, a crisp button-down with dark trousers will get you past the selective dress codes on the door. A plain oxford shirt can’t go wrong, but feel free to experiment with modest patterns to give you some point of difference from the masses.

Tucking the shirt in is generally mandatory. Some brands offer shorter cuts that are designed to be worn untucked, so just double check the proportions in the mirror before leaving the house.

A short-sleeve button-down should be untucked, and they’re usually designed with this in mind. If you wear denim, make sure it’s a darker shade. Unfortunately, some venues still disallow jeans. In that case, smart wool trousers are a solid option.

These are the most formal pant you can wear, but again, they are the most likely to become a casualty if it’s a messy night. 

Wearing Leather Boots In The Club

Shoes are serious business after dark. First up, closed shoes are a must. Loafers can be hit and miss, depending on the whims of the folks on the door and whatever standards the venue demands, so be sure to check in advance. Additionally, your suede shoes weren’t made for busting a move to the Bee Gees.

They’re an absolute monster to clean and they will get filthy after a night of stepping through chewing gum, puke and spilled margaritas. Let us persuade (heh) you against it. Your best bet? Polished brogues or Chelsea boots. 

They’re not too corporate, nor too quirky, sitting in the middle of the spectrum of formality. You can dress them up or down with denim or smart chinos, and all it takes the morning after is a quick brush and some conditioner to set them straight again.

Wearing Sneakers In the Club

Everybody likes a pair of luxe sneakers, but that, unfortunately, doesn’t translate into universal acceptability on the nightlife circuit. R&B or hip hop venues aren’t as strict in this regard, but if you’re planning on hitting the sauce at a few establishments then you should probably give the sneakers some time off.  

Some venues just don’t allow it, even if the bar where you started the night didn’t make an issue out of them. More to the point, your pristine white sneakers will become various shades of grey and green once you start getting down to your favourite Ed Sheeran disco remix.

Save them for Sunday afternoons at the local, or trendy hole-in-the-wall bars that employ cleaners who take pride in their work.

Wearing Hats In The Club

Unless you’re a bus driver or a copper you have no business wearing a hat to town. The upscale, trendy nightspots usually have standing prohibitions against hats, and spending your time salvaging hat hair after the bouncer has told you to remove your headwear isn’t much of a fun way to spend a night.  As for beanies – just don’t do it. Wearing a beanie to a club will make you look like you smell bad.

We tend to find some funny things on Australia’s biggest car listing site. Take this exclusive McLaren Senna for example. It appears that poor Sam from Kensington in South Australia accidentally bought one of the fastest production cars in the world (he was actually after a 2006 Kluger) and forgot to read the fine print stipulating ‘no refunds, chap’.Alas, we have one of the most audacious car sales listings this year with one of the most polarising hypercars of our time. Say hello to the 2019 McLaren Senna P15 Ultimate Series, number 242 of 500 examples built worldwide. And it can now be yours for a measly AU$2,100,000. The base price for the model in Australia starts from AU$1,700,000.The funny thing about the ad is that for a car of this calibre, it’s awfully…bare. Buyers only get one lopsided image of its rear end which we can only assume was taken outside the McLaren dealership as the buyer uttered to himself: “oh shit…this isn’t the SUV I wanted”.Jokes and assumptions aside, if this is a legitimate Senna sale then you’re looking at one of the most immaculate examples available on the market today. With just 1km on the clock, this like-new car also comes with a plethora of MSO bespoke appointments including the Cosmos Black Elite Paint paired with a Black Interior.Options added includes MSO Bespoke Contrast Stitching, MSO Bespoke Steering Wheel Centre Band, MSO Bespoke Vinyl Pinstripe, MSO Bespoke Painted Lock Nuts and MSO Bespoke Embroidered Headrest.We don’t need to get into detail about its performance since it has been around for a while now, but you can read about it here if you want.Update: Car listing has now been updated with professional images

Pause that ‘Tequila’ song. Fake Tequila is no joke in today’s highly lucrative drinks industry and you could be drinking it right now. Whilst whisky is today’s most popular spirit in the fraudulent stakes due to its high global demand, fake Tequila entering the mainstream markets is also on the rise.

According to an ABC investigation from 2018, counterfeit Tequilas are entering the market and being served as house spirits in bars and pubs. They’re also being sold in independent liquor stores across the country’s biggest markets. The fleece even goes as far as one rogue operator creating spirits by mixing raw ethanol and flavourings.

So the question is, how do you tell the difference between real Tequila and fake Tequila?

We hit up one of Australia’s Tequila experts and general manager of The Corner House, Brett Harris, to let us know his secrets on spotting a fake Tequila from a mile away. His proven techniques will surprise you.

How Fake Tequila Is Making It Onto Shelves

Contrary to the recent reports, fake Tequila has been around for a long time.

“Six years ago or more we’ve had them at my old workplace just to show people the difference,” says Harris.

“We’ve got laws now which is in line with the Mexicans. The health-related one is that a fake Tequila can’t have ‘Tequila’ written on the bottle.”

According to the reports and Harris’ own experience, a lot of the fake Tequilas are either distilled locally and then distributed or made overseas and then imported over to where Tequila’s big markets are.

Of the ones made in Australia, Harris says that none of them have agave in them – the main ingredient of real Tequila.

“It’s probably agave syrup or flavouring,” explains Harris.

Whilst real Tequila needs to be 100% agave, non-100% agave Tequila can also be bottled outside of Mexico. The latter can express properties of 51% agave sugar and 49% of any other kind of sugar. According to Harris, it’s something “a lot of people” do.

Why It’s Happening

The simple answer, as with all things counterfeit, is money and trends. “People just see markets to exploit and that’s anything with alcohol now,” says Harris.

He adds that premium tequilas are also the ones driving fakes into the market. A closer analysis of social drinking trends will reveal that Tequila had its day in the sun, then whisky and now it’s gin’s turn to step up. With Tequila on the brink of a resurgence, Harris says that savvy customers are now starting to get into brand association and this makes it lucrative for non-legitimate makers.

“With the internet now, you have a little interest in the thing and you can find out everything about the brand you want. People are legitimately pining for the Fortaleza and the Ocho Tequilas; people are knowing.”

How To Spot The Difference Between Real & Fake Tequila

If you’re in the market for decent Tequila then you need to know these tips and tricks before dropping your cash on something that’s potentially harmful. Here are some of Harris’ tips.

Beware the ‘Locally mixed Tequila’ label

This essentially means the spirit is locally made from imported ingredients. Real Tequila has a denomination of origin on the label like champagne would. Real Tequila also has to be from Mexico and it has to be from certain states as well. Look out for dubious label spelling like ‘Te-Quila’ as these aren’t real.

Harris says fake Tequilas have limited information on the back of the label.

“Fake Tequilas like Chiapas, it looks like it never got out of the 80s. The label colouring, the lettering.”

On the label of real Tequilas, you’ll find two crucial features:

• It has to say ‘100% agave’
• It has to say ‘Made and bottled in Mexico’

Know Your Denomination Numbers

“All real Tequilas have a denomination of origin number where the distillery has its own number,” explains Harris.

He recommends getting an app called Tequila Matchmaker which allows users to find out about a Tequila by just entering its name or NOM number. The app will show you what brands are made at this distillery and more.

Whilst whiskies have bottle designs that are often copied, Harris says this isn’t the case for Tequilas as it’s easy to make their bottles similar. Instead he says to look for other visual cues in the liquid itself.

Visual Cues To Determine Tequila Authenticity

Fake Tequila will often display a gross clear liquid. This has to do with the liquid’s viscosity.

“Fake ones look like Vodka,” says Harris.

The bartender’s test you can conduct yourself is called looking for ‘pearlers’.

• Get the bottle and put it on the side
• Shake it vigorously and little bubbles should hang around for a while in Tequila or Mezcal
• If you get a 100% agave Tequila and do it next to Vodka, you’ll see the difference – the pearls (bubbles) will stay there because of Tequila’s heavier viscosity and the other one will dissipate because it’s all alcohol

Taste Can Also Determine Fake Tequila

Harris says that smell is harder because it depends on where it’s made and there’s so many different tastes.

For the average person, look for that sweet cooked agave taste in a real Tequila. Tequila from up in the highlands is a different taste from something in the valley where Cuervo is produced.

Bit late now isn’t it? We hear your cries, but there’s a good reason to know why you should never use your personal towel to wipe down gym equipment.For starters:

• It exposes you to harmful germs left by other users
• It facilitates the sharing of bacteria, viruses, mould and fungi

If that doesn’t sound like your ideal sweat session at the gym then pay attention because the latest report from the ABC reveals the dangers of supposedly being clean and courteous at your local gym.According to Bridget Gardner, the director of a Melbourne firm providing advisory services for cleaning and facility managers, “this is where bacteria and viruses are being spread from the surfaces,” she told the publication.Cameron Jones, who is a microbiologist and expert in mould and infection control also agrees.“A lot of gyms are open 24 hours a day and are used 12 hours a day at least, and there’s a huge volume of people who go through,” he said.This leads to the residual existence of everything from bacteria to yeast to fungi to viruses – all populating your favourite bench press, floor mat or bar bell. But the news gets worse with the report identifying that floor-mounted resistance machines like bicep curlers and chest presses being a breeding ground for germs.“With the high-touch machines that have handles, the greater the force on the hand or the feet, the greater the transfer of germs to that item,” said Dr. Jones says, who highlights past research from the U.S.The dangers though stem from the fact that these germs which infect your towel can then be taken home with you. Throw your towel in a gym bag with your other possessions? Well, now they’ve been in contact. Use that dirty towel twice without washing it before putting it on your face and you could be facing sickness.“You’re already sweating and have elevated temperature. If the material on your towel is dirty, obviously if you pull that across the surface of your skin, then if you have any sort of surface [blemish], like a pimple, that can get infected.”So what’s the solution? Both Garner and Jones agree that everyone should be using those disposable towels provided to you in the gym as opposed to your own towel. To rid your hands of germs, Jones also suggests using hand sanitiser after every one of your sessions.Whilst these measures may seem excessive, one has to realise that no one actually follows the ‘no towel, no workout’ policy at most gyms, so it’s better to be safe than sick.If you are the towel type, Gardner recommends washing it daily if you attend a public gyms like Fitness First, Crunch, Anytime Fitness and other similar ones.She also warns that if the towel stinks, it’s in danger.“As soon as it starts to grow anything [such as bacteria], it omits a smell,” she added.In other words, keep it separate from your gym bag which holds all your other worldly possessions…unless you want infected sunglasses, wallets and a phone.
