You only need to look at the story of Samson and Delilah to see just how important a man’s hairstyle can be. Thankfully, A Geezer’s Guide to Mullet Maintenance and Combover Care is a guide to selecting, growing and maintaining a stylish, comfortable and well-groomed hair helmet.

Including: manly grooming tips; a breakdown of barnets to try out, such as the Curtain Cut (try to look like Johnny Depp; try not to look like Worzel Gummidge) or the Quiff (try to look like Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys; try not to look like Nick Grimshaw); a perambulation through hirsute history; a rundown of famous hair aficionados, from Albert Einstein to Paul McCartney via Adolf Hitler; hair and hairstyling records (can you beat the Longest Time Hanging by your Hair record?); the most ridiculous names for hair salons (Crops and Bobbers vs Shear-N-Dipity).

The perfect gift for every man: from the metrosexual to those who just want to progress from their mum’s bowl cuts; whether he wants to learn how to carefully calm his cowlick or skilfully shine his skinhead.
