Best Hairstyles for Balding Men

Men's Style

Balding in men has been associated with age and genetics but if you are lucky (as most people think) you may start undergoing this transformation sometimes later in life. However, a number of young men start facing this common problem even in their early twenties. If you are in that pool, don’t start panicking that age is catching up with you so quickly after waking up to the full realization that you’re starting to thin out right on top of your head. This change should not leave you devastated and deny you a chance to enjoy your life regardless of your age. Luckily for you, there are best hairstyles for balding men that can work perfectly well for you and we’re going to guide you which one to choose.

Comb Over Hairstyle

We’re not talking about three strands draped over a shining dome type of combover. A modern combover style is an excellent choice of hairstyle for those who are just starting to experience balding for the first time. The hairstyle is appropriate for such men because it compels them to incorporate their thinning hairlines into the style, taking it as the lowest section in their hairs’ natural part. Once it is done, this style gives you an illusion that the hair is more weighty and thicker. To make it look more stylish, have your hair trimmed a little bit longer at the front then style it using some hair products. Comb it back and then on one side before setting it using some hairspray to give it a pleasant look.

Short Pomp

Short pomp is also known as short pompadour and it is described as the hairstyle with a medium length although there are some variations out there to suit different people. If your hair is shorter and you want to use this hairstyle, you can do so by styling it into a traditional pomp shape in order to hide your thinning hairline. The short pomp also works very well with the inclusion of a balding concealer product like Biothik, combining the two can get you a great result.This hairstyle is more or less the same as slick back because it works perfectly well for the receding hairline. You may use a blow dryer to enhance your short pomp leaving it looking more stylish while hiding away your thinning hairline.

Slick Back

The slicked back appearance was increasingly becoming popular towards the end of the 20th century and even today, it remains a preference for some men. In the real sense, the slick back is a great way you can help draw the attention of other people away from the thinning hairline leaving you looking sharp and elegant all the time. All that you need to do is to grab your comb and some hair products and start slicking your hair from the front to the back of your head. Add a little hairspray to make your hair sparkle a little bit while ensuring that it doesn’t look greasy to mess up everything.

Bald and Beard

The bald and beard seem to be the ultimate choice of hairstyle for a good number of balding men across different cultures and societies, beards in particular can be very stylish if done right. It comprises of a full shave on the heads and nicely trimmed beards giving an attractive and classic look to many men. Even though the style works perfectly on its own, it is even eye-catching when combined with either full beard or stubble. And when you shift your attention to the grooming of your eyebrows, you can make your facial appearance a focal point while concealing your balding using a full shave hairstyle that has become popular among celebrities.

Spikes

It is a well-known fact that a spiky texture can work wonders for your thinning hair. Spikes hairstyle applies where the scalp is getting visible right above your forehead while some little hair is still growing. In this case, the texture and height of your hair will play some tricks to reduce the appearance of your thinning hairline. The style involves a mid-fade and short hair at the back, leaving the longest hair at the front to conceal the thinning hair.

Final Thought

Balding can be a sign of ageing, underlying health conditions or simply a symbol of status among different groups of people but there’s a growing concern to make this transformation look more attractive. To achieve this goal, you will need to look for a balding hairstyle that will help conceal your thinning hairline while preserving your looks. If you aren’t sure which style to choose, you may need to have some discussions with your barber to help you get some tips on the best hairstyle that can work well for you. After all, there are many hairstyles for those balding and you can never miss out what works well for you.

Could Bond 25 be Daniel Craig’s best James Bond movie?

Entertainment, Men's Style

Daniel Craig

“Daniel Craig Shirtless” (CC BY 2.0) by brava_67

Until recently, there was speculation that Daniel Craig would not play the role of James Bond anymore. Comments from fellow co-actors had suggested that the 49-year-old English actor was ready to quit playing the world’s most well-known spy due to intense pressure. Craig has confirmed that he will play the role of 007 one last time and then he will quit. Who the next James Bond will be is anybody’s guess – Idris Elba, Tom Hardy, and Tom Hiddleston all have been mentioned – but what we can say for sure is that Craig will be the super-spy from Great Britain in Bond 25.

Bond 25 is due to be released in 2019. Although the official plot line has yet to be released, there are reports that it will be based on the 2001 book Never Dream Of Dying by Raymond Benson. The book is about Bond trying to take on the Union once and for all when a police raid goes horribly wrong. One of the main and most intriguing characters in the book is Tylyn Mignonne, a movie star with a sordid past. Another interesting leak about Bond 25 is that it will feature a new Beyoncé track.

Daniel Craig has been a superb James Bond. Not only has the Englishman lent a certain elegance and charisma to the character but he has also made him very appealing, modern, and relevant in the 21st century without losing the old-fashioned chivalry. Given that Bond 25 is going to be Craig’s final outing as James Bond, one can be sure that he is going to give his all and make it his best. Moreover, the producers and the filmmakers will want to send Craig off on a high.

It is going to be hard, though, for Craig and the director(s) to make a better James Bond movie than Casino Royale. It was also the Englishman’s first outing as the super-spy and he played it to perfection. Not only was the storyline was one of the best, most intriguing and most encapsulating of all the James Bond movies, but it also featured well-developed characters.

For example, Eva Green plays one of the best and most enchanting of Bond Girls ever seen on screen. Then there were the scenes in casinos. Not only did they show an entirely different and glamorous side to gambling but they also underlined just how fun it can be to play a bit of poker or roulette. One of the many casino games that James Bond has inspired is PocketWin’s Jackpot Agent, which can be tried with the website’s £5 free play bonus from the Oddschecker website. The five-reel game is based on MI5’s most covert operator hunting down a massive jackpot.

Skyfall, released in 2012, is another James Bond movie that one should watch, if one has not already. It was Craig’s third outing as the British superspy and he played it to perfection. The story revolves around Bond investigating an attack on MI6, which is part of a plot by former agent Raoul Silva as revenge for M betraying him. The film exposes and explores a certain vulnerability in Bond, as his relationship with M is given a lot of time and careful thought. Then, there was the theme song ‘Skyfall’, co-written and performed by legendary British singer Adele, which sets up the movie perfectly.

Released in 2015, Spectre is the last James Bond. The movie centres on Bond taking on global criminal organisation Spectre and their leader Ernst Stavro Blofeld. The action is gargantuan and leaves the audience speechless, while the plotlines are also quite elaborate and convoluted. Christoph Waltz plays the role of the villain perfectly, although perhaps he could have been developed a bit better and more time could have been given to him. There is a certain degree of ‘retro’ in this film, which was probably done intentionally to give it a different feel.

Although it is going to be hard for Craig to replicate his success in Casino Royale, fans should be optimistic about Bond 25 being a great film. After all, there are still two years left for the movie to be released. Given that this is going to be the last James Bond movie for Craig, he is certainly going to make it the best he can. The filmmakers are also going to make sure that the English actor gets a proper farewell, and that the stage is set for a new James Bond to take over.

In the coming months we will get to know more about the plot and then we will get a better sense of what to expect from Bond 25. The noises at the moment are all positive, and one can only be optimistic and expectant that the fifth James Bond movie featuring Daniel Craig is going to be his best ever. The James Bond franchise is one of the biggest in the world and the films rarely disappoint, if ever.

How to Safely Remove Your Tattoo at Home

Health & Wellness, Men's Style

Tattoo Removal

You’ve been browsing the internet looking for home remedies to remove a tattoo. Maybe you’ve experienced a change in views that your tattoo reflects, or maybe your new workplace’s dress code is different than your previous one. Or maybe your tattoo reminds you of a bad memory like a past spouse you want to forget about.

If medical tattoo procedurals like laser, dermabrasion and surgical excision are just too extreme or expensive, take heart. There are a number of painless and effective ways to fade and remove your tattoo, all from the comfort of your own home.

Tattoo removal at home

According to the Mayo Clinic, laser treatment, surgical excision, and dermabrasion are the three most powerful ways of removing a tattoo. Unfortunately, these treatments are not only costly, they can also lead to nasty side effects such as scarring, bruising, burning, and discoloration of the skin post-treatment. While TCA creams are widely advertised as an effective tattoo removal method, it’s important to understand that trichloroacetic acid (TCA), which is commonly used in spas as chemical peels to fade wrinkles, acne scars, and fine lines, can be potentially damaging to your skin. TCA has been known to cause adverse reactions with the skin among 10 to 20% of users according to the Tattoo Health Organization. Side effects of TCA use include blistering, skin irritation, and discoloration of the skin. If you are considering TCA creams, apply the product on a small area of the skin first to check how your skin reacts to it.

Use a product with natural ingredients

If you’re looking for a treatment without the high price tag, hassle, and gore, consider a tattoo fading product that does not contain any damaging acids such as TCA and hydroquinone and is made with natural, skin-nourishing ingredients. Make sure to pay attention to the type of tattoo the cream is effective on. Most people make the mistake of choosing a product that does not work on all ages, colors, or sizes of tattoos. Look for a product that works on both old and new tattoos to enhance the effectiveness of your tattoo removal option.

It’s critical that you check tattoo removal cream reviews of each product and stay away from anything that has been reported to cause unpleasant side effects such as scarring or bruising. If you’re looking for a product made with natural ingredients with no risk of side effects, check out the Trufade reviews. It can be used at home but it also has a complex formulation with skin-enhancing ingredients like Gigawhite that helps fade your tattoo, while Chromabright is designed to brighten your skin, allowing the tattoo to fade faster. Tattoo fading creams like Trufade should be used twice a day at home. The process is easy, quick, and will have your tattoo fading in no time.

Takeaway

Some home remedies that claim to fade tattoos may give decent results depending on the tattoo and skin type. With salabrasion methods, however, there’s a higher risk of infection as you are scraping your skin to get to the layers where the tattoo ink lies. So the problem with most natural home remedies is that they either don’t work on most people or they are potentially damaging to the skin. Medical treatments may sound like the most efficient approach, but they are costly and can cause permanent physical side-effects.

Fortunately, there are plenty of tattoo removal and fading creams on the market that do not harm the skin and help make your tattoo removal journey a pleasant one. Remember, with any product, patience is key so be sure not to overuse any cream, and always follow the product’s instructions.

How Real Men Get Money Fast

Men's Style

Loan 2

Today’s modern man has options to secure money very quickly through a variety of fast money loans. But each carries different terms, fees, and interest rates. Here is a look at three of the most popular and how they work:

Cash Advances / Payday Loans

These are the most popular type of quick cash loans and are made as advances against a borrower’s paycheck. Therefore, the borrower must be employed with a minimum income that is typically set with a floor of $1000 monthly. The borrower must also usually have a checking account in good standing that can accept direct deposits.

Payday loans have gotten a really deservedly bad reputation because of their extremely high interest rates that often can sometimes top 600% annualized. In addition lenders can charge an establishment fee of up to 20% of the loan simply for making the loan and additional fees or charges, such as; an arrear fee, late payment fee or early repayment fee.

So why would anyone want to pay these high rates? Often the answer is they have no choice. Many have bad credit and cash advance lenders do not do credit checks. Some need the money quickly and cash advance lenders can act extremely quickly to get them money. And certainly for those who do not have any forms of collateral, payday advance loans are a potential source for money that requires no collateral other than your employment.

However, because of the extraordinarily high interest rates, typically loan amounts are less than $1,500 and are for terms no longer than a few weeks.

Vehicle Title Loans

Vehicle title loans have gained considerable popularity because of their simplicity and their ability to get borrowers small amounts of cash quick. Most vehicle title loans can be acquired in 15 minutes or less and offer loan amounts as low as $100. These loans are nearly always short-term, and carry higher interest rates, but not nearly as high as payday loans.

Vehicl title loans are secured by lenders placing a lien on a borrower’s car, motorcycle, truck or even boat title as security for a loan. The lending company evaluates and then gives a loan based on the wholesale value of the vehicle. If the borrower defaults on their payments, the lender may repossess the vehicle and sell it to repay the borrowers’ outstanding debt. If however, the borrower pays off the debt in full, the lender relinquishes the vehicle’s title back to the borrower.

Because the loan is based on the value of the vehicle, there is little need for lenders to check credit history of borrowers, but the borrowers must own his vehicle.

Credit Card Cash Advances

Today, most credit cards offer a cash advance via a check or money at the ATM and cardholders find themselves tempted by what seems too often like free money. While the process to borrow this money is simple, card holders must keep in mind that the interest rates are usually very high when borrowing money in this manner. Fees for credit card advances range from 2 to 5 percent of the total amount borrowed, and interest begins accruing as soon as you withdraw the money. This would mean that for every $1000 you borrow, you would owe $40 in fees. Interest rates, which are additional costs to the fees, can as high as 28%. So that simple spur of the moment ATM withdrawal can be very expensive. Card holders need to be mindful that some card issuers place credit card advances at the back end of the payments on their credit cards meaning, the money you send will first go to paying off your credit card balance before you start paying off your cash advance balance. This will cause the high credit card cash advance rates to be with you longer and cost you even more money.

Many credit card holders have gone into deep debt because of credit card cash advances and the industry faces constant scrutiny and regulation. Therefore Credit card companies put hard caps on the amount of cash advance money card holders can borrow. Card holders should only use cash advances if they are sure they can pay them off quickly preferably by the end of the month.

These three fast money loans can help you if you are in a fix but should be approached cautiously because like all borrowed money, if you cannot repay, you will potentially create more problems than the ones you seek to solve with the loan. So be a man and be cautious.

Masculine Bathrooms – It’s a Man’s World!

Fine Living, Men's Style

masculine-bathroom

Men may not spend as much time in the bathroom as women, but they do enjoy having a place of their own to relax and get clean. So here are some tips to help you create your own bathroom cave. From vintage industrial light fixtures to dark and luxurious finishes, by incorporating dark hues, wood finishes, mixed metal accents, subway tiles, and vintage accessories, you can claim and conquer this space.

Bring it Back in Style!

The retro look is back and this means incorporating classic fixtures including clawfoot tubs, retro accents or antiques that add a sense of history to the room. Inject a rich and layered look to the room with vintage sconces, leather, and antique mirrors. Don’t skimp on the small details, like vanity hardware or vintage shaving accessories. If you do it properly, you should feel like you are walking into a different era when you walk into the room.

Timber!

There is something about the smell of real wood in the morning that makes a man come alive. We know that raw wood paneling and rustic, unpainted planks are not common finishes for a bath, but the unexpected dash of texture and roughness will make you feel like a real man. Wood adds a warmth and character to any room and will say things to the world that about who you are inside and out.

Take the A Train!

Every real man loves the subway and subway tiles. Traditional and classic subway tiles are perfect in masculine baths. These days they come in the traditional white and nearly every color in glossy or flat finish. Your choice of grout color can dramatically change the look too. Try a contrast of tile and grout colors or keep it simple with a coordinating colors to emphasize the variety of textures.

Color Your World!

There is no real substitute for the clean and sure feeling that comes with a bright white bathroom. But real men are drawn to color, character and rugged style. Colors create calm and help to reduce stress. So feel free to opt for dark, saturated hues that move your space from spa territory and into men’s-club-lounge land. Whether using dark marble on your counters or painting the walls a high-gloss rich green, use of moody, saturated colors sets the tone for the entire room.

Heavy Metal Anyone!

If you are a heavy metal lover, here is the chance to let your rocker side out. Incorporate elements of bronze, iron, and brass, and you will immediately infuse the space with a raw industrial quality that is 100% masculine. Aged steel vanities, iron lighting, and plain brass plumbing fixtures blend and create a tough rugged look. Be careful not to go overboard or you may feel like you are in a machine shop. Try and strike a balance between Pantera and The Rolling Stones.

These choices allow men to put their own touches on a part of the house that is too often thought of as the woman’s domain. Men, take the reins and prove that even in the bathroom, it’s a man’s world.

How to Combat Hair Loss in Men

Health & Wellness, Men's Style

hair loss in men

Photo by CC user Marquette LaForest on Flickr.

With all the things in our lives to worry about, hair loss isn’t normally something that sits in the front of our minds. Unfortunately, for some of us, it’s a realization that’s come too early in life. Premature hair loss in men is a topic no one likes to talk about. But with that said, there is some good news, with all the information we have on the subject we now know the main causes of hair loss and therefore how to combat it. Read on to find out more.

Reasons men experience hair loss

There are several reasons why some men experience hair loss over others and why some even find themselves losing hair at a much younger age than they anticipated.

  • Genetics– Some men are just more prone to early hair loss due to family genetics. A history of baldness within your family is a telling sign that you’ll most likely find yourself in the same situation.
  • Stress– If you’ve got a lot going on, most likely at one point or another you’ll find yourself stressed out. Though a normal amount of stress won’t cause any hair loss, if you’re stressed on a constant basis, you may began to see your hair thinning.
  • Nutrition– Good nutrition is essential for a healthy life, and healthy, full hair is no exception. If you’re eating a diet that lacks essential vitamins, you’ll be much more likely to find extra hair in the shower after a shampoo and rise cycle.
  • Hair Styles– If you love tight hairstyles like braids, pulled back hair and the man bun, you may be doing yourself more harm than good.

How to fight hair loss in men

Luckily, there are several ways to flight premature hair loss. Some of them include:

  • Hair transplants– If you’re willing to visit a doctor, they might recommend a hair transplant. This process involves taking hair from one section and putting it into the section where you’re experiencing hair loss.
  • Hair restoration– Cell therapy might sound scary, but it’s a well known procedure that has been around for years.
  • Vitamins– Exactly what is sounds like, some hair loss is due to lack of nutrition. So before you see a doctor, if the hair loss is mild, try your hand at adding some extra vitamins into your life to see if they make a difference.

If you’re not ready to take one of these steps, you can always try a new hairstyle to cover up a bald spot or a tinning patch. Though this is just a temporary fix, it can do a lot to help your self esteem in the meantime. Just make sure not to make one of these mistakes.

If you’ve found an extra amount of hair in the shower or after a good comb, you may be experiencing a mild to serve case of hair loss. Though sometimes hair loss in men is temporary and can be easily fixed with a change in diet, other times it’s a more serious case that needs to be dealt with by a professional medical personal. The key is to first learn and understand what is causing your premature hair loss. Once you know the reason/s, you’ll be on your way to hair recovery.

Accessorising a Suit

Men's Style

Whether you wear a suit on a daily basis for work or as a one-off for extra special formal events, it’s crucial that you style it right whatever the occasion. In this article, House of Fraser explains the must-have men’s accessories and how you should wear them with your suit.

man-in-a-suit

Cufflinks

Cufflinks are an essential part of any formal outfit, but before you rush out to buy a pair, there are a few things you need to consider. Firstly, you’ll need to make sure the shirt you intend to wear is suitable for cufflinks and without button-fastening cuffs.

Next, determine the type of fastening you’d like, with each offering different fit levels. Here are a few:

  • Bullet back and toggle—one of the most common fastenings, this type of cufflink has a small metal rod. It is pushed through the cufflink hole and rotated 90 degrees to fasten. It’s widely regarded as the most secure cufflink.
  • Chain link cufflink — this traditional fastening features two pieces of rectangular metal attached by a chan. It generally offers a looser fastening than the bullet back.

When choosing cufflinks, remember that they are accessories to your look and not the focal point. Choose sleek, subtle cufflinks that will add to your overall look, rather than detracting from it. Novelty cufflinks are great for adding personality to your look, but aren’t suitable for occasions with strict dress codes.

Tie clips

Tie clips are another must-have when wearing a suit, but there are certain rules you should follow.

Your tie should be positioned between the third and fourth button on your shirt. It should attach your tie directly to your shirt — and not just function as a decorative accessory.  Lastly, the bar should never be wider than your actual tie, so pairing a skinny tie with a bar intended for a wider one is a no-no.

Pocket squares

Finish your formal look with a pocket square. As a general rule of thumb, you should co-ordinate your pocket square with your tie. Pick out an accent colour on the tie and carry it throughout the square. The colours don’t have to be an exact match — doing so can make your look seem more like a uniform than a chic gentlemanly ensemble.

Of course, once you’ve settled on a pocket square, you’ll need to fold it correctly — it’s not just a case of stuffing it in your suit jacket pocket. The Art of Manliness has created a great guide to the different ways to fold a pocket square — use it as a reference point to help you get your look right.

The Prison Workout

Men's Style

One of the rare stories I have read of late is that of a British prisoner named Charles Salvador. He has been behind bars since 1974. However, rather than rot away in his cell, he is actually gaining from it. He is today famous for setting many prison fitness records such as making 1,727 push-ups in one hour! In short, he uses his serving time to build his body using a few odd objects and only his body weight.


You do not have to be in prison to have a prison workout schedule: maybe you lack the facilities. Salvador can bend a steel cell door with his bare hands and pick up a pool table from working out in prison! Did I forget to say that he uses no nutritious foods, no barbells and no supplements?
Here is his prison workout routine:

Push-ups

According to Salvador, he performs about 2,000 push-ups every single day. He advises that if you start by doing 10 of them a day then keep adding just 5 every day, you can get to his level within 1 year. He also advises on using different push-up variations.

Pull-ups

The pull-up workout is the second that our Hulk prisoner uses. He says that pull-ups are important in that they involve multiple muscles such as the forearm muscles, the pecs, traps, wing (back) muscles and the biceps. They are most effective if you hang from a place and use variations.

Squats

I personally never tried squats because they appear very basic. However, after learning that they are one of the most effective workouts from Salvador, I have been capitalizing on them. I never knew that they work the hamstrings, inner thighs, hips, glutes and quads all in one workout! Using variations also boosts their effectiveness.

Dips

The dips, in my opinion, are very tough, but, once you get accustomed to them, they are very effective. Salvador says that the dips work his core, forearms, shoulders, pecs and triceps. Rather than vary them, he adds some weights to his laps to make the exercise more intense and effective.

Hanging leg raises

If you agree with me, this workout is very popular with action movies that involve bodybuilders like Jason Statham. You get a firm support then hoist your body. This exercise works the shoulders, forearms, hips and quads. Look for the variations to get the best results.

Burpees

The prison workout burpees might be the newest workout in our list. To do it, you start in a squatting position, placing your hands in front of you (on the floor). Then you kick the feet to assume a push-up position then immediately return to the squatting pose. Once you achieve the position, leap as high as you can from that position. This workout will test your aerobic capacities and body strength. I never used this prison workout before, but I can tell the results immediately after I am done with the first set.

Salvador showed us how to do a prison workout that might see you lift that pool table all by yourself and bending the steel doors when you get locked in for it! However, it is best to adhere to his prison workout routine without getting into trouble. Maybe the benefits are much better out here.

Tech and Gear Essentials for the Digital Nomad

Men's Style, Technology

I am excited and proud to have to write that I am proudly part and parcel of the digital nomad movement. Concisely, I belong to the group of people that rely on technology to earn their living and who are always on the move. You might find it tricky that we rely on technology yet keep moving. However, we are witty enough to understand our lifestyles and, therefore, select a style that suits us. So, allow me to introduce the typical tech and gear essentials that we, digital nomads, mostly use.

Camera gear

I have a collection of photos comprising of close to a million images, collected over four years. We love to keep memories of every place that we have been to, thus, the camera. However, we do not go for the normal cameras: we prefer motion lenses, waterproof mirrorless cameras, and those that print photos on the spot.

Laptops

What is technology without a computer, really? Well, we do not carry PCs along with us, rather, we (or I) prefer laptops. Laptops are light, powerful and self-contained. As long as we can find them the power, they give back wholeheartedly.

Smartphones

At times, the laptops, too, become too big for some occasions. For instance, at some meetings, or when at a basic party, some of us still need to check our emails, update clients and remain aloof with what we do. In such instances, we use powerful smartphones to do that for us. Compromising our demanding careers is never an option for us.

IMGP1821-300x214

Portable power packs

I think this should have been at the top of my list: portable power sources. Well, here we are. In some cases, we are never sure about where our next stops will be. Therefore, I, just like everyone else, carry several portable power banks. These have to be very efficient such that one can have hours of uninterruptible power. If you have two or more, the better.

Wireless devices

Wires can inconvenience a digital nomad in many ways. At times, they tangle up everything in my bad, sometimes, they make the bags too huge. Worst of all, they limit freedom. In my case, I prefer using a wireless (Bluetooth) mouse, ear set, microphone, speaker, modem and keyboard. Wireless devices are easier to manage but require more power, and, if you are careless, you need more money to keep replacing them!

eReaders

Who said nomads do not have libraries or do not read the news? I love books, yes, but, I hate the fact that they take up a lot of space, can be cumbersome and are hard to find. In our nomadic world, however, we have eReaders that allow us to access just any e-book or newspaper and read them, anywhere! Call me the man that carries all the books in the world in his backpack!

I have not, of course, exhausted the list of what we, digital nomads, carry with us. Today I capitalized on the tech gear bit. Next time, I will discuss more of what we carry: like clothes and food.

Transform Your Man Cave into a Man Kingdom

Entertainment, Men's Style

As a young man, one of the most persistent thoughts on my mind is building my man cave. No, not a literal cave in the hills! A man cave is simply a man’s special space that if full of all the things he loves, where he can get entertained and just enjoy his own time. Unlike a bar or any other entertainment place, this cave is personal. That said, here are some incredible man cave ideas to transform that space into a kingdom!

Building a man cave

Building a man cave should be fun and not stressing or rushed. I think this is the place where you source for the best things and bring them. Therefore, make it unique and not a small house. For instance, do not buy the regular sofas and stash them there. Do not buy a cooker not unless it’s for the outdoor barbecue. In place of cooking, use bodies such as the Man Cave Craft Meats that supply you with ready-to-eat foods anytime, anywhere, in the exact quantity that you want. In short, have fun. Do not survive in there!

Man cave gadgets

Gadgets are my favorite ideas of a man cave’s accessories. Have as many as you can and transform into a king. One of them is a mini fridge that holds some beers or your favorite drinks. A massage chair comes in handy when you want to relax and unwind. Third, find a storage ottoman where you relax not only your feet but also hide your valuable stuff such as lighters, TV remotes, snacks or anything you prefer to have full control over. The list is endless: think wider.

The man cave bar

If you build a man cave bar for your little kingdom, you have the power to customize your “pub” as you wish. Unlike the local, where you are limited by time, space, choice of music, the congestion and availability of drinks, here, you rule. Make everything to suit your tastes and show the other men what your creativity is capable of doing. However, this is one bar that might suffer from female deficiency!

Man cave gaming

If you thought sports and games are only played outside, then you’ve not heard about the Man Cave Arcade gaming machine. This is a plug and play device complete with joysticks, a 32-inch screen, a gaming console, arcade cabinet and a powerful computer to take your gaming experience to a higher level. Worry not: this device is made for men and can support multiple players.

I already have a visualization of this kingdom in my brains right now, do you? If you do, then I guess it is the time we materialized them and enjoyed being self-made kings. I cannot wait to do this!
