Is your haircut doing anything for you? Could you do with a little more volume here, a little trim there?

A few snips can make a world of difference in a man’s hairstyle, and his over-all look and confidence, so says the latest issue of Metro hiM magazine. The four-year-old bimonthly on men’s style from ABS-CBN Publishing, Inc. has put together an 11-page special on hair, including styling solutions to facial features one wants to hide, the seven hair sins, and eight hair makeovers. There is also a special report on hair loss: the available solutions in Manila, the costs, the side effects and the view from the experts.

This new Metro hiM features four of Manila’s top male models on the cover: Victor Basa, Mikee Carrion, Carlo Adorador and Trishan Cuaso. Rocky Salumbides, the most successful Filipino male model of the moment, who recently signed up with Ford Models, Inc., appears in the magazine’s fashion story on the best rainy weather looks.

This new issue of Metro hiM also has a wide array of style suggestions from the best pair of jeans that will flatter one’s shape (whether one is tall, athletic, big or thin), to how to dress up when meeting a girlfriend’s parents; from the best underwear pieces to wear on those most private moments, to the latest shopping destinations in the city.

Other interesting features are on what that Islam scarf wrapped around your neck really means with Patrick Paez writing an essay on the evolution of the keffiyeh, from being a badge of courage to being a post 9/11 fashion accessory.
