Fabio, the Italian-American actor and fashion model who’s renowned for his long, shiny locks, unsurprisingly has launched a hair and skin care line called Aston James + Fabio and it’s pretty amazing.
From its sleek black packaging to its range of incredible formulas, including Peppermint Menthol Shampoo and Conditioner, Brightening Facial Mist, Antioxidant Day Cream, Hydrating Argan Oil Night Serum, and Aloe Vera After Shave Balm, you’ll be hooked on first use. With anti-ageing properties as well as luxury of look and feel, it’s the ultimate men’s grooming collection.
Fabio’s top tips
We sat down with the icon himself to get his top tips for hair and skin care for men.
Why Did You Launch Your Own Fabio Range Of Hair And Skin Care Products?
I have tried many different products and techniques when it comes to hair care over the years. From caring for your hair when it is dyed, to different cuts, products, and styling products. My long hair has been part of my ‘Fabio’ look throughout my career so it’s something that I take care of.
Does Diet Come Into Play?
Diet will play a big role in the health of your hair. If you are eating lots of sugar and not taking care of yourself, it often will show through the health of your hair and skin. I eat a lot of protein and I take supplements such as Biotin, which is great for hair. Always try to get a good night’s sleep, drink plenty of water and don’t get too much sun.
Always Use Conditioner
Use conditioner sparingly. Just apply a bit to the ends of your hair and then move the rest up towards the scalp. Too much conditioner can make your hair look greasy and flat.
Avoid Overusing Appliances
Limit the use of hair dryers, straightening irons and other products that use heat to style your hair when you can. We all like to have styled hair. I need to use them sometimes for work too but try to minimise their use and make sure you have good products to counteract the damage [that they can cause]. There are heat protectant sprays, hair masks – these products will help to heal and protect your hair.
Spoil yourself with good quality products
Your skin is the largest organ of your body and anything you put on your hair or skin gets absorbed into it. It’s so important to make sure you use quality products. My own skin and haircare range, called Aston James + Fabio, took two years to make, as we went out to search for the most effective ingredients. One thing I love about our hair products is that they use cool menthol, which not only feels fresh and smells great, but it is also great for removing dandruff build up, for regulating oil production and for strengthening your hair.
Because I like nice things, I wanted to make sure that the products not only work well but also look good. So, we came up with some stylish designs. We named it Aston James to pay homage to Aston Martin and James Bond. The packaging is designed to feel like you are opening a Rolex watch.
Trim And Clip
There is no harm with changing your style up now and then. Scheduling in regular appointments to the barber is a good idea.
