For those who don't know, Trevor Sorbie is a super star hair stylist to the stars, and following others of his ilk (think Nicky Clarke) he has bought out his own range of toiletries.

Fortunately he has had the wisdom to bring out a complete range of male grooming (or 'Mg') products just for us men.
His range covers everything to take care of your head - cleaning, moisturising and styling.

If you don't want girlie toiletries cluttering up your bathroom, then this is the range for you (me/us!). The packaging is graphite and silver coloured, which looks very sleek and masculine in your bathroom (The picture with this review isn't the bottle of shampoo, I did provide links of where to get the pic from, but this is the picture that has been put here!(.

I have looked at a variety of male grooming products in an effort to stem the loss of my once thick mane, and this is my preferred brand. This is also my preferred shampoo.

The range has a choice of three - Thickening, Scrub & Run (which also conditions) or Detox (for removal of pollutants such as wax, gel, etc.).

The Thickening Shampoo is my shampoo of choice. My hair is normal/greasy, and one wash leaves my hair feeling and looking thicker and very soft to touch (even when I've used gel/wax in my hair).
You don't need to use a lot as it produces a creamy, rich lather, so you get the most out of the money you pay for it. I use it everyday, and find that is suitable for everyday use, causing no irritation to my scalp. The shampoo smells good and the results are preferrable to other shampoo's that I have tried such as Johnson's Baby Shampoo (doesn't add volume), Pantene (for girls!) and Circ (just not as good as this!).

There is no pretence with this shampoo, playing on male vanity, that claims to stop balding (evil word, but it can't be avoided!). It simply does what it says on the bottle, and makes your hair look and feel thicker - helping to mask the balding!

As with any shampoo I have used, this does not moisturise your scalp properly (nor does it overly dry your scalp - but moisturising and massaging your scalp helps stimulate blood flow and keeps hair healthy)- so I use Mg Scalp Invigorator (£5.99) in conjunction with the shampoo taking care of the whole head like I said earlier!

This shampoo isn't cheap - it costs £4.99 per bottle - but I think it's worth the money to actually use something that feels good and gives results - doing exactly what it says it will.
The availability is also slightly poor - I have only found the whole range in the larger Boots stores, with smaller ones maybe having one or two of the products, or not having any at all - so I have to bulk buy - which can mean a hefty bill, but will last me for ages.

I highly recommend this shampoo since it allows you to take care of your head, whilst looking cool sitting in your bathroom.

My hair's thick enough as it is, but I'll have a look at the others in this range when I can! x
