The best men's grooming game—i.e. a good haircut, some tended-to scruff, and hydrated skin—can make a huge difference in how a man looks. And if you ignore all three, well, you won't look like a DGAF rebel as much as an intensely hungover, decade-older version of yourself. In order to motivate you to visit the barber regularly or just change up your routine once in a while, we're bringing you a recap of the best grooming moves of the week.

Hasan Minhaj's Political Pompadour

We don't usually equate comedians with excellent hair (sorry, Jerry/Louis/Birbiglia, but it's true)—or men's grooming, really—but Hasan Minhaj really brought his groom A gam for his emcee duties at the 2017 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner in D.C. It was sleek and well-styled on top and tight on the sides, and there was just a hint of stubble, which looked great. This is a nice bipartisan issue everyone can agree on.

Just last month we reported on the breaking news that Zayn Malik had dyed his hair green — a move he revealed on Instagram. Now we're seeing it on the streets and, no big surprise, it looks amazing and has us reconsidering everything we know about dyeing our hair (help). However we do hope that poor Zayn gets better, though he makes a wheelchair look like the newest Cool Teen™ accessory to consider.

When it comes to facial hair, sticking to the classics is always the best bet — beards and mustaches are almost always appropriate — but everyone once in a while we see a grooming swerve that has us like 🤔. Here, Sean Penn showed up to the MOCA Gala in LA honoring Jeff Koons with a soul patch, a facial hair experiment best left in the late 1990s when it was last popular. Sorry, Sean.

Like father, like son-in-law? That seems to be the case with reptilian underlord Jared Kushner who is secretly masterminding the nightmare that is the Trump presidency and now, in a turn that would make even George Orwell scratch his head, is starting to actually morph into his father-in-law, Donald Trump and he's chosen his hair, of all things, to mimic first. This is some seriously twisted stuff, but also par for the course at this point.

Spotted in New York with his wife, the director Sam Taylor-Johnson, Aaron proves he most have learned something from Tom Ford while working with him on Nocturnal Animals. The masterful denim-on-denim situation notwithstanding, Aaron's facial hair is damn perfect, groomed but still looking outdoorsy — a difficult balance to strike.

While this week we gave you a rundown of the best dressed hopefuls at the NFL Draft, we have a special nomination for Derek Barnett: best groomed. The wilder hair option plus the full, traditional beard is the perfect way to mix it up but still look good.
