BODY HAIR
Many Asian men "suffer" from bushy or joined up eyebrows and will be amazed how having them shaped up at a salon will sharpen their features and make them look that much better, Pain and puffiness are small prices to pay for well-defined eyebrows so get down there and demonstrate how much of a man you are! Trim your ear and nose hair on a regular basis. Nothing looks less appealing than hair escaping from the nasal orifice or sprouting from the ears. This is easily done with a nose hair trimmer bought from any good high street pharmacy or department store.

Consider trimming your armpit hair in warm weather. Less hair, less bacteria, less odour, it all makes sense! Groom your nether regions. There's no need to go completely bald, but it is essential to do routine maintenance there too, especially if that's the way your mrs likes it. Whether you want to go the whole hog from trimming to removal is a personal choice, but if you do, a whole host of options are open to you from waxing to electrolysis.

HAIR CARE & STYLING
Hair styling can be a nightmare for many men, and this could be especially true on the day when you really want to look your best. God forbid, you have a bad hair day, just when all your friends, family and the photographers decide to zoom in on you. Fortunately some precautionary steps can put your mind at rest.

The best time for a pre-wedding haircut is a week prior to the wedding. Now is not the time to start experimenting with new hairstyles and colours! The idea is to look neat and fresh without looking freshly shorn. This will give your hair time to settle down before the wedding and in the nightmare event that you hate your cut, you can always do some damage control before the big day You need a manageable hairstyle. Generally speaking short hair (not a buzz cut!) not only looks sophisticated but also is easy to care for and will sit well under a wedding turban, if you are wearing one.

Its worth paying your stylist a bit extra to come to your home on the day of your wedding and put your locks in his expert hands so that you will be looking your best. This guarantees that any "bad hair days "can be expertly sorted out. If this is a luxury you cant afford, be armed with the right styling products for the look you want to achieve. If your hair is naturally unruly, or you want to achieve a spiky or "out of bed" look, Fudge styling waxes and putties are perfect for the job and also come in a "matt" range for those who want a non wet look. If you have longer hair which you would like to set in a given style, work a small amount of styling mousse through towel dried hair, followed by a swift blow dry.

Weekly hair care in the run up to the wedding is also vital. Each person's hair is different in texture, condition, length and thickness, so its important you choose a shampoo, which is best for your hair type. Goldwell do an excellent range for men, which also includes a very effective anti dandruff shampoo. Those with dry, coarse hair or those who use styling products on a daily basis also need to condition their hair at least twice a week or go for an intensive conditioning treatment at their hair salon. This will nourish your hair and add luster to your locks.

NAILS & MANICURES
There will be lots of hand shaking for the groom on his wedding day, so nails should not be neglected. Until a few years ago, manicures and pedicures were widely considered a 'Metrosexual fad; Today, it has more to do with hygiene. All grooms should go in for a basic manicure and pedicure, which involves soaking the hands and feet, pushing back the cuticles and then cleaning, filing and cutting the nails. Not only is it hygienic, it will tidy up your hands and can be a nice and relaxing treatment.

Don't forget to include your hands and feet in your weekly grooming routine. Clip your fingernails weekly. This should be obvious, but for a lot of men, it surprisingly isn't. Rub light oils or cream into fingers, nails and cuticles to help moisturize them and keep them looking well primed.

GOOD DENTAL HYGEINE
Good dental hygiene means a dazzling smile. Clean your tongue when you brush your teeth (Indians have been doing this for centuries). This will remove the bacteria, which sticks on your tongue and is a primary cause for bad breath. Regular flossing, use of a good mouthwash (we recommend Dentyl) and chewing sugar free gum will all go a long way to giving you a Colgate smile that would put Govinda to shame!

DE-STRESSING
Wedding planning is stressful and to keep your sanity a good massage at a day spa, is a sure-fire way to reduce anxiety, tension and stress. You will literally feel your blood pressure dropping. You might want to keep things simple with a relaxing Indian Head massage, which will literally have you seeing things more clearly or go the whole hog with a holistic full body Swedish massage. Gym workouts, yoga, meditation and the ancient Indian breathing technique of "Pranayama" will all go a long way to helping you feel more relaxed and in control of any hungamas that surface in planning your big day!
