Recently we ran an Instagram giveaway of products by our Brand of the Month for February, Jack Black. To enter, we asked our followers to tell us their top grooming tips. We were really impressed with the submissions, so we compiled them into this handy article.
Make sure to follow us on social media to make sure you hear about more giveaways in future. Make sure to let us know over on our Instagram if you want to get involved in another giveaway!
