Thom Yorke Tried Out a Man-Bun
The best 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.
Chris Pratt's Almost-Mustache

A usually stubbled Chris Pratt went baby face clean for his latest round of red carpet appearances for the sequel to Guardians of the Galaxy. But a close look shows there's just a hint of a mustache starting to claim its territory on his upper lip. Here's to a future bad-ass 'stache.
Zachary Quinto's 'Stache 'N' Scruff

Speaking of bad ass 'staches, Quinto has been maintaining his serious upper-lip warmer since we first noticed it a few weeks back.

At 48, Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke proves age is just a number and man-buns belong to everyone. While this dubious trend has always raised eyebrows, when one of the most groundbreaking musicians of all time try it on, you have to give it to him.
Keith Powers's Subtle Facial Hair

Up-and-comer Keith Powers is one we're keeping an eye on. Not only is his sartorial flair impressive, his grooming has been dead on. This week, while doing press for the Upfronts, the 24-year-old mastered the subtle goatee, and we don't often comment on this, but his eyebrows were downright spectacular (the key? strong and clean but not overly-shaped). Add to that a stellar haircut that wasn't too short and had just enough shape at the edges, and he had an overall A+ grooming situation on his hands.
Jake Gyllenhaal's Artists Flow

Gyllenhaal took a quick break from his run in the hit musical Sunday in the Park With George to do a little press at the Tribeca Film Festival this week, but he brought his Broadway character's long flowing hair and intense beard with him (what choice did he have, really?). Good thing that this is a riff on his usual wildman beard, and he wears it well. And in 2017, it doesn't look out of place to see this much facial hair on a red carpet. Added bonus? He's wearing one of the coolest celebrity haircuts in the game right now, the Bro Flow.
