Welcome to another edition of Grooming Gods, a weekly recap of the best men's grooming highs (and sometimes lows) courtesy of our favorite stylish gentlemen across the globe. Between the VMAs and the impending long weekend, this week was all about letting it all hang out—mostly for the better.

Los Angeles has been experiencing a heatwave this week, which is apparently all James Franco's hair needed to go from ordinary to god-like. Guys with curls who want this look: try a dry hair oil or serum to reduce frizz and define waves without having that crunchy, hair-gel effect.

Not only did Lamar receive approximately 5,000 awards at the VMAs on Sunday night, the rapper also won the style game with a hairstyle that infused some color, texture, and swagger into his on-trend 'fit.

Joe Jonas's '70s Stache

Joe Jonas's mustache was another VMAs men's grooming move that was hard to ignore. The Disney alum appears to be making up for the sins of his youth (see: straight ironed hair). Repent! This look is working for you, Joe.

For these last days of summer, Superman is letting it all hang out (and, uh, grow out). You should too. No one needs to waste 45 minutes on hair removal during the home stretch of the laziest season of the year. And anyway, when you've got this much hair on your chest, it's best to just go full Freddie Mercury with it.
