    So you finally have a hairstyle that you think you can rock and have got the hang of it. But then, when it comes to its styling, you end up losing a lot of hair. Well, most of the men fall prey to using styling products randomly on their hair, which can then lead to issues like hair thinning or in some cases, hair loss.
    To steer clear of it, here are some expert tips on how to save your hair follicles and style them better than before.
    1. You Use It Too Much © iStock
    Hair products are a bliss, not just for your hair but also for your nose. The irresistible fragrance might tempt you to put on more of it, but that's a mistake right there. The way to know if you have taken the right amount of hair product is by rubbing it on your palm and if there's an extra residue left behind on your hands, you are using it too much.
    As a result, your hair will end up feeling sticky and this can lead to hair issues.
    Remember, less is more. Hence, start with a little amount first and if you think you need it more, only then go for it.
    2. You Are Not Using The Right Type

    There are water-soluble products and then there are petroleum-based ones. While both of these do a great job, it's water-soluble products that work the best and here's why. When you use petroleum-based products, it takes a while to get rid of it from your hair. It gives an impression of greasy hair texture.
    There are various types of hair products, for example, clay, pomades, pastes etc that are aqueous and help maintain your hair texture.
    3. You Don't Know How To Apply It Right

    While it's a great idea to bless your hair with the goodness of hair styling products, if you forget to rub it all across, your hair follicles will get clumped in one place. For best use, you need to break it down into steps. Start with your roots and then head to the tips, from your crown and then finish it off with the hair on the front. Begin with a small amount of product. If you have long hair, use the residue on the sides to get a better finish for your follicles.
    4. Your Hair Colour Matters

    Different hair products are made for different density as well as hair colour. For example, men who have light brown or blond hair should stick to matte finish products. Whereas, if you have dark hair, you would need products that promise natural shine, since your hair might not have enough gloss.
    5. Not Being Able To Deal With Hair Thinning

    Thinning hair's enemy is excessive use of hair styling products. When you dab your hair with such products, the thinning issue doesn't take long enough to start. In that case, stick to styling products that are light. For example, instead of moulding your hair with heavy creams, use some sea salt spray, as it helps achieve better styling, gives a fine texture and adds a natural volume. It's lighter on the hair and doesn't cause a lot of harm.

    Robert Downey Jr.’s portrayal of Tony Stark will go down in history as one of the most iconic characters we have seen in the superhero genre. How the film brought about a revolutionary change not only in the actor’s life but also in the way audiences watched movies based on comic books continues to be marvelled upon (no pun intended).
    After the first Iron Man movie came out in 2008, a sequel and a triquel were released in 2010 and 2013, respectively. However, the two, although entertaining, failed to garner the fans as much as the first one.
    Here are four reasons why Iron Man 1 remains the best movie of the trilogy:
    1. The Independence
    There is something liberating about being a standalone film. When Iron Man came out, the so-called “Marvel Cinematic Universe” was a distant dream and Jon Favreau simply wanted to make an entertaining superhero film, without thinking about what the future held for him. Sure the movie teased the audience with subtle references to other heroes from the franchise throughout the film, and there was a post-credit scene too, but holistically speaking, the movie was independent of what was to come next.
    Iron Man 2 & Iron Man 3 fell prey to being a conduit between what the fans had already seen and what they were about to see in the future films and spent too much time talking about those things rather than focusing on the story of the movie itself.
    2. Repetitive Villain Idea
    “We create our own demons,” that’s what Tony said in the beginning of the third instalment of the series and that is quite literally when it came to the Iron Man trilogy. In the first film, it was evident that Stark unknowingly helped Obadiah Stane get the tools of destruction when he got his hands on the Mark 1 suit in the middle of the desert. It was fresh, the villain had a great motive to be bad and Jeff Bridges absolutely nailed the role.
    However, a similar pattern could be seen in the following films. First in Iron Man 2, Tony tells Whiplash that the “cycles per second were a little low” and advises him that he “could’ve doubled up your rotations” in order to make a more powerful weapon and surely that's what Ivan Vanko did. In Iron Man 3, Tony ditches Aldrich Killian on the rooftop and gives him the idea of anonymity, albeit unknowingly, this time.
    3. Closer To Realism
    Looking at the trajectory of the MCU movies, it ironically becomes unbelievable how simply and closer to realism the first Iron Man movie was. It showed the initial struggles of making the suit, the reasons for a conflict between good vs evil was as simple as value of life vs value of money and the villain was a simple human being wrapped around in a massive armour.
    Compare that with the fire breathing super soldiers and an army of non-piloted drones controlled by a Russian guy who thinks the best way to kill a man is with electric whips and it kind of takes away the natural badassery of the first film.
    4. Character Building
    The transition from an arrogant billionaire and the “Merchant of Death” to a more sympathetic man who decided to dedicate his life to make the world a better place, Iron Man captured it perfectly.
    However the two films that followed had zero motivation for character development. Tony Stark was already shown to be the Mr. Nice Guy who continued to protect the world with increasing unrealistic suits of his. Honestly, the next movie in which we could see RDJ’s character build a little more is Avengers: Endgame, when he decides to help his team undo their mistakes at the cost of losing the family he had already created and ends up sacrificing himself in the process.
    It is understandable that character building can get hard in the sequels but it was something Christopher Nolan did perfectly in his Batman trilogy. The transition from a careless billionaire into a warrior in Batman Begins, the willingness to sacrifice himself for the greater cause in The Dark Knight and the desperation to fight his old age and save the city one last time in The Dark Knight Rises, every part of the franchise has something significant to offer for Bruce Wayne’s role.

    There’s no denying the fact that Ranbir Kapoor is one of the finest actors of our generation. After the Khans, it is only Ranbir amongst the current set of actors who has managed to find a permanent place in people’s hearts.

    Undoubtedly, Ranbir is a wonderful mix of an old world grace and uber coolness. In fact, even as most other actors of his generation are extremely active on social media, Ranbir chooses to stay away from the limelight, which makes him one of the most humble actors today.
    It has been 13 years since Ranbir made his Bollywood debut with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya in 2007 and in that short span of time, he has given his fans an expansive range of phenomenal performances.
    Here we have listed out five reasons as to why Ranbir Kapoor is the most versatile and talented actor in Bollywood today. 
    1. Versatility in his genes – comedy, drama or thriller © UTV Motion Pictures
    Ranbir Kapoor is one of the actors in Bollywood who can portray any role with ease, be it comedy, drama or thriller. This versatility is what makes him stand out in Bollywood. He has never been typecast for any of his roles (unlike the likes of Salman and Shah Rukh). Barfi is an exceptional example of Ranbir Kapoor’s range as an actor.
    2. Not just acting but a king at the box office too  © IMDb
    In an acting career spanning more than a decade, Ranbir Kapoor has managed to churn out blockbusters year after year. Also, in 2018 he portrayed Sanjay Dutt in Rajkumar Hirani's biopic Sanju, which became a turning point in his career. It is one of the highest-grossing Indian films of all time, for which he also won Filmfare Award for Best Actor. 
    3. Represents our generation like no other actorThe 38-year-old actor comes very close to representing our generation. His characters in Rockstar, ‘Wake up Sid’, ‘ Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani’ and ‘Tamasha’ resonate well with young people as they can identify with his confused, lost characters in these films. Amitabh Bachchan was the angry young man of his generation. Shah Rukh epitomised the romance for the 90's. While Ranbir shows all the potential to be a star for his generation. Although, he doesn't have any starry air around him.
    4. Fabulous choice of roles © IMDb
    From lover boy to a man ruined in love, from a dream chaser to one suffocated under the burdens of society, the Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani actor has played versatile roles with utmost ease and excellence over the years of his acting.
    5. Strong fundamentals from acting school © IMDb
    Ranbir Kapoor knows acting. Yes, can’t put it simpler than this. Even though he is carrying a legacy of generations on his young shoulders, Ranbir is an actor who doesn’t have to rely on his six pack abs to pull the crowd into theatres.
    The birthday boy has pursued filmmaking and method acting at the School of Visual Arts and the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute, respectively before foraying into this acting world. In fact, he first assisted Sanjay Leela Bhansali on the film Black in the year 2005 before making his acting debut with Bhansali's Saawariya in 2007. 
    With such strong roots in theater schools, Ranbir definitely understands the nuances and subtleties of acting.
    Ranbir's next release will be Ayan Mukherji’s Brahmastra with Alia Bhatt, unlike most of his films, this is also a genre that he has never explored before--fantasy. The official date of the film's release will be announced soon.

    Let’s be honest. Most millennials are terrible with money.
    If the last couple of months have taught us anything, it is that life is unpredictable. One day you have a job, the next day you could be laid off. 2020 has been a wakeup call – we cannot live payday to payday.
    While our parent's generation spent years saving money to invest in gold, we save money only until the next trip. For us, experiences matter more than bright, shiny, and very expensive pieces of gold. That’s probably one of the reasons why most of us millennials don’t have hefty saving accounts to fall back on in case of a rainy day.
    Most millennials would identify as urban poor – we have enough money to spend on the latest iPhone, but when it comes to our future, our finances look bleak.
    So, what is the solution? We roped in financial expert Dipika Jaikishan, co-founder and COO of Basis, to guide us through the most asked difficult question – how do we save money?  
    MensXP Experiences
    Dipika has spent over a decade in the finance industry. At Basis, she has guided and helped many individuals to make informed financial decisions. For MensXP Experiences, Dipika has tailored a unique money management plan specifically for millennials.
    From helping us understand the financial impact of the current pandemic to identifying our future financial goal, Dipika promises to take us through the A to Z of money management. Through this 90-minute session, Dipika will help us chalk out plans to achieve our long term financial goals. She will also touch upon the reason why millennials need to manage money differently compared to our parents.

    There have been a great number of actors who have played the iconic role of Batman. Over the years, we have also seen the Caped Crusader in a bunch of different Batsuits, each of them as unique and different as they can get. 
    However, can you identify which movie a particular Batsuit was seen in? That, after all, is the true mark of a proper, die-hard Batman fan.

    The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S went on pre-order sale two weeks ago and are reportedly sold out everywhere. Xbox Series X/S even went on sale in India last week and one of the consoles instantly went out of stock on the early morning of 22nd September. However, the one thing that Indian PlayStation fans are most frustrated about is the fact that they don’t even know when the console will go on sale in India or how much it will cost, at least till the time of writing this story. To say that the Indian launch of the PlayStation 5 is a total mess would be an understatement.

    The fact that Sony has remained quiet about any information regarding the PS5 release date or its price in India shows the company does not consider it a priority. A report from last week suggests that India price and release date might just be around the corner, however we haven’t heard anything official yet. The last thing we heard was that Sony had decided on a release date and price for the console in the country, but the Japanese company is reluctant about revealing any information until they are confident of the logistical issues. The delay could also be a result of BIS certification which can take longer due to many imaginable reasons.

    Ahead of the thirteenth edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL), no one could have possibly imagined champion sides like Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) languishing at the bottom of the table early in the tournament. But, such is the nature of IPL that the fortunes of a team, irrespective of their legacy, can change pretty quickly.
    Such has been the unpredictable nature of IPL 2020 that it isn't just the teams who are paying dearly, but also the fans who are pulling their hair out in a bid to make a perfect dream team for the matches. 
    Picking the right players can surely do wonders not only for the team, but also for those who're looking to win big through their dream teams. So how does one go about the clash between Chennai and Hyderabad?
    With two losses in as many games, Hyderabad currently find themselves occupying the eighth spot in the IPL points table, still searching for their maiden win this season. On the other hand, Chennai, despite beginning their campaign on a winning note, have suffered back-to-back losses to occupy the seventh spot with just two points for their showing.
    There is no doubt that both the teams, in what is being dubbed as the bottom of the table clash, will be eager to return to the winning ways. But for that to happen, both Chennai and Hyderabad will need the right set of players just like the fans who seek the right fit for their respective dream team. 
    In a bid to solve that riddle, we've come up with 5 must-have players for every dream team:
    1. Faf Du Plessis  © Twitter/@IPL
    The most obvious pick for every dream team out there has got to be Faf du Plessis. The South African has been the only lining in what has otherwise proved to be a miserable start for Chennai so far. The right-hander kickstarted the season with an unbeaten 58 which played a key role in Chennai's opening and only win this season.

    The 36-year-old followed it up with another fifty, a 37-ball 72, that almost won Chennai the game against Rajasthan. In their last match against Delhi Capitals (DC), Faf was once again clinical with the willow, almost notching up another fifty, as others failed to perform. For a man who is currently the third-highest run-getter this season, Faf is undoubtedly a must-have player for the fans in their dream team.
    2. Manish Pandey  © Twitter/@IPL
    A right-handed batsman who's gifted with impressive timing, Manish Pandey has been a vital cog in the Hyderabad batting line-up for a while now. And, in the two matches he's played this season, Pandey has looked much better than his teammates. Batting at No. 3, Pandey played a 34-run knock, supporting Jonny Bairstow, during their loss in the opening match against Bangalore.

    In the next match, Pandey clubbed his way to a brilliant 51 while Hyderabad's star-studded batting line-up crumbled. For someone who is currently the leading run-scorer for Hyderabad this season, expect Pandey to deliver the goods once again when they take the field against Chennai today.
    3. Sam Curran © Twitter/@IPL
    The best part about picking an all-rounder is that they can contribute in multiple departments of the game. And, that's what makes Sam Curran a dream team essential for today's clash. The 22-year-old, with his fast-bowling skills and power-hitting capabilities, might still need some time to cement his spot in the England side, but he is well on his way to becoming a key addition to the Chennai brigade this season.

    An economical spell of 1-28 and a 6-ball 18 blitzkrieg with the willow were good enough to show his capabilities in a Chennai shirt during his team's opening win. The second game saw him taking three wickets and scoring 6-ball 17 against Rajasthan. Their last game saw him finishing with decent bowling figures of 1-27 but he could only face two balls in Chennai's hapless batting performance. 
    Whether he's batting or bowling, there's never a dull moment when the younger Curran is in focus which, in turn, makes him a perfect candidate for a dream team.
    4. Rashid Khan  © Twitter/@IPL
    At the age of just 22, Rashid Khan has already established himself as one of the most sought after players in limited-overs cricket. While his spin-bowling prowess has cut a sorry figure for some of the best in the business, Rashid's ability to clear the ropes at will further makes him a valuable addition to any team.

    But, for all his potential, Rashid is yet to come to the party this season. In the two matches so far, Rashid has just one wicket to his name alongside spells of 0-31 (against RCB) and 1-25 (KKR). A lot with those ordinary figures has got to do with the rival teams' ploy to play out Rashid without taking any risks. 
    And, so far, it seems to have worked. But, Rashid is a street-smart cricketer who surely has a thing or two up his sleeve. Hence, don't be surprised to see the young Afghan star making his presence felt down in the middle today.
    5. MS Dhoni © Twitter/@IPL
    This pick is purely based on the man's ability to strike when it's least expected. MS Dhoni has been out of action for over a year and the ramifications have been in full display in the three matches Chennai have played, so far. The right-hander has earned a lot of flak for scoring just 44 runs (0*,29,25) in the tournament so far. But, even in defeat, Dhoni gave a glimpse of his abilities.

    His three consecutive sixes in the final over against Rajasthan might not have saved Chennai from defeat, but it, still, was a perfect exhibition of his hitting capabilities that many feel is far gone. But, you shouldn't select Dhoni in your dream team purely on the promise of his hit-and-miss batting. 
    Pick this old veteran for his ability to add to the dismissals with lightning-quick glovework. And, the fact he's a captain can surely add to your points in fantasy sports platforms.
