But WHY is it "JUST FOR MEN"?

Advantages: It works in covering grey
Disadvantages: The STIGMA, the price, stains, tricky to apply yourself

...This year my wonderful sexy husband turned the big 4-0. He wasn't TOO touchy about this (read: so long as no-one mentioned it, and the day slipped past without a fanfare) until a few months ago he attended a funeral where there were lots of family members he hadn't seen for years. One of them mentioned how "distinguished" he was looking, and that was it?when he came home he said that he wanted to dye his hair. Now, we all know that men don't want to be seen as vain, "product"-using creatures, so of course I was dispatched to purchase the necessary chemicals. I found that there were two main brands of hair-colorant aimed at men in our local Tesco: Grecian 2000, and Just For Men. I decided on the Just For Men, as it was a shampoo-in permanent colour. This meant that it would only need to be applied every 6 weeks or so, whereas...

sp does it again

Advantages: great product
Disadvantages: over priced

...My friend used to work for Wella SP and I was lucky to be blessed with some of her samples and although this is a very expensive range it is fantastic, I do not think that I would buy it as the price is a very big off Put, but the products are first class and in a class of their own. Wella SP Perfect Hair is for damaged areas of your hair and protects it against the heat and helps to volumise and strengthen your hair , so it's ideal for use before blow drying or straightening your hair. For the best results apply Wella SP Perfect Hair evenly through towel dried hair, being careful not to use too much or it makes my hair look greasy make sure it is prior to blow drying or straightening for the best results. It also smells great and leaves you hair smelling fresh and clean. This product if you blow dry your hair has saved my...

Just for idiotic old men

Advantages: Easy to apply
Disadvantages: Granny is going to shoot me

...We are to have a nice family portrait taken for Christmas and as I looked in the mirror a rather grey haired old man was staring right back at me. Now don?t get me wrong I am quite proud of my portly figure and the twinkle in my eye but it was as if I had realised for the first time how grey/white I had gone. This portrait was to be special so what should I do I asked my daughter. Dad she said the time has now come to put a little colour on your hair. The late Leslie Crowther used to dye his hair, as did Jacques Villeneuve so I didn?t feel too effeminate having made my decision. The children giggled and I just growled at them. My daughter returned from the shops with two products. Grecian 2000 and Just for men. I tried the Grecian 2000 for a few weeks but my hair just must not have suited it. And do you know as soon as you stop...

just for men not for me!

Advantages: covers areas that are multi streaked thats grey for us not normal people
Disadvantages: you get laughed at once you have done it

...Having got a full head of hair i have inherited certain genes from my mums side of the family that is most annoying, grey hair arrrrrgh. basically on the market there are many different products that you can try, i myself have blond hair with a large coverage of grey, i once tried just for men and found the product very poor, it really didnt cover the areas that i wanted only the blond bits, why does grey have to be a colour thats so hard to cover. anyway ive tried many and i ventured into the womens stuff, its alot better, i get stick at work when its grey and once ive dyed it the same. my oppion is leave it and ignore the buggers, yes while the hair dyes do do there job to a degree use your own head....

wella mask

Advantages: great
Disadvantages: very expensive

...My friend used to work for Wella SP and I was lucky to be blessed with some of her samples and although this is a very expensive range it is fantastic, I do not think that I would buy it as the price is a very big off put, but the products are first class and in a class of their own. Wella SP Hydro Mask is a treatment thats helps condition your hair and that gives maximum moisture to your dry hair making it soft to touch and keeping your hair well conditioned. For the best results massage into your clean damp hair, it suggests you leave it in for 5 minutes, but I have found the longer you leave it the better. To intensify the effect of the Hydro Mask add heat to the hair, Then after a while rinse the mask out thoroughly. I try and use it once every couple of weeks as I find it time consuming as I leave it on for up to an hour...

UNJUST FOR MEN

Advantages: Easy to use, cheap
Disadvantages: Bland, boring, dull, tedious, yawn invoking

...tried blending various colours together and adopted the attitude that if you are colouring your hair, don't try to pretend it is natural... hence I used to add bleached tips or foils to vary the colour... or even add different colours to different parts of my hair - the leopard spots were a favourite for a while. One day I wanted to just blend away a bit of the grey and the only place available was the supermarket - I tried Just For Men and was sadly disappointed. This is absolute BLAND city!! The colours are insignificant and it seems this product is designed with very feint-hearted men in mind. It seems to have been created for the man who is deluding himself more than others and just reeks of fashion conservatism - I wouldn't be surprised to find button-up cardigans, slippers, corduoroy trousers and London Fog jackets in this man...

Kleenex Mansize Tissues, not just for men!

Advantages: Soft, comfortable on a sore nose, large so you don't use as many
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Kleenex 'Man Size' tissues have been in the shops for as long as I can remember, proudly claiming to be the more superior tissue to your regular standard tissues. So what makes them man-size? Well they're big. They're big enough to cover your whole hand and nose/mouth for when you need to blow your nose. Possibly called man-size due to the fact that men supposedly have bigger hands, therefore need more coverage. These tissues are quite costly. Last time I checked they were about £2.50, ranging up to £3 in some supermarkets. So why buy them? Well, here I feel I can give a lot of expertise as I am always ill, always coughing, sneezing, sniffling and needing to blow my nose. Tissues are a top necessity in my life, with boxes everywhere, at home, in the car, on my desk at work, and small packets are always in my handbag for al...

Review of Kleenex For Men

My hair feels amazing!

Advantages: Works well, smells lovely
Disadvantages: Expensive

...find the instructions for use you have to peel back the label found on the reverse of the container to reveal the writing underneath. Mind you it's not going to be rocket science now is it? You just have to put the shampoo onto your wet hair, massage it in and rinse it out thoroughly. You are also advised to then use Wella Sp Repair Mask which is what I did. Anyway I got into the shower and wet my hair. I got hold of the shampoo and, with a bit of difficulty, I managed to squeeze some out onto my hand. It is a rich thick consistency and is a pearlescent creamy colour. The fragrance was amazing! It smells gorgeous - but I'm afraid I can't describe it very well. It is flowery but not too sweet; in fact it reminded me of that smell you get in the hairdressers. Anyway suffice it to say it was lovely. As I massaged it into my hair it...

Review of Wella SP 1.2 Repair Shampoo

Expensive - but very good!

Advantages: Makes my hair look, fell and smell lovely
Disadvantages: Expensive

...- this time it is pretty much a cube in shape and is about 7cm in every direction and again it looks really classy! The whole thing is plain cream so no bright colours here. The Wella logo appears in black at the top left with 'SP Salon Professional' in gold letters underneath. On the right hand side we have 'Enrich Mask' in gold letters at the top and then 'for unruly hair' in various languages again in black. At the bottom there are the numbers 3.0 and from what I can see each product bears a different number. I still haven't worked out what they represent yet though! So you can see that this, along with the shampoo, is going to look very smart on your bathroom shelf. To open the pot you just have to twist the top and off it comes revealing a further lid of a plastic disc to keep the cream inside the pot and not getting the inside...

Review of Wella SP 3.0 Enrich Mask

Playful bed hair without stickiness

Advantages: Light hold, shiny without grease, easy to brush out
Disadvantages: Blows out in strong winds! Price, retail locations

...I was introduced to this product by my hairdresser, and I've been extremely grateful to her ever since. As you may be able to see from the photo, I have pretty short hair that I tend to keep 1-3 inches in length (and definitely no more). Unfortunately, without any artificial assistance, I'd spend most of my time looking like a furry badger and if it was getting really long, I'd probably be looking more like a furry badger on speed. Wella's Space Jelly (the SP stands for System Professional), feels like a cross between a hair gel and a wax. It's designed to give short hair more texture, add a layer of 'healthy' shine, and just to add some extra oomph, chucks some shimmer in as well. From a hairdresser's perspective, it means that my hair gets cut, a fingertip of this product gets massaged into the fingers/hand to warm it up...
