The Holy Black | Avoid These Common Grooming Mistakes
A solid grooming routine isn’t just about looking good—it’s about doing things the right way. The details matter, and small mistakes can throw everything off. We see it all the time, and chances are, you might be making one of these mistakes yourself.
Here’s how to fix them.
Mistake #1: Using Too Much Hair Product
Pomade, matte clay, texture powder—these are meant to enhance your style, not drown it. Too much product weighs your hair down, making it stiff and unnatural.
Fix: Start with a dime-sized amount of Supermax Pomade or Matte Clay, and add more if needed. If your hair needs a lift without buildup, Texture Powder is your best friend.

Mistake #2: Skipping Beard Maintenance
Letting your beard grow wild is one thing, but a dry, scraggly beard is never a good look. Neglecting your beard makes it rough, itchy, and uneven.
Fix: Keep it soft and healthy with Snake Oil or Beard Balm—hydration and control in one.
Mistake #3: Ignoring Pre- and Post-Shave Care
If you’re still shaving with just water and a cheap razor, you’re doing it wrong. Redness, irritation, and uneven results are the price you pay.
Fix: Lather up with Shaving Soap or Shaving Cream for a smooth, irritation-free shave. Finish with Aftershave Tonic to refresh and protect your skin.
Mistake #4: Forgetting to Moisturize
Dry skin makes you look older, rougher, and less put together. If your face feels tight after washing, you’re missing a key step.
Fix: Apply Moisturizing Lotion after shaving or cleansing. It absorbs quickly and keeps your skin looking fresh without feeling greasy.
Mistake #5: Sticking to the Same Routine All Year
What worked in winter won’t always work in spring. Warmer weather calls for lighter products, fresher scents, and an adjusted routine.
Fix: Swap heavier balms for lighter oils, use Texture Powder instead of dense pomades, and refresh your scent with a clean, classic aftershave.
