As part of my job writing about hair and beauty over the past ten years I have received lots of samples of new products to try.

Lately I seem to be receiving lots of press releases and/or product announcements about more and more celebrity hairdresser products lines.

John Frieda hair products have been around for some time but they have staying power. I love the John Frieda line because they are somewhat like a bridge product line.

I promised I’d try and figure out the whole men’s hat sizing question and I have found some sites with sizing information.

MensHats.com have just about every type a hat a man (or woman for that matter) could want. They also have a great sizing chart. According to MensHats.com before buying a hat, take a soft tape measure and measure around the widest part of your head where you want the head to rest. Take those measures and match to the Hat Size Chart which they provide.
