Ace your wedding day look with these 5 smart grooming hacks every groom should follow. From flawless skin to the perfect haircut, this guide has you covered.
Your wedding day isn’t just another event. It’s the day when all eyes are on you (yes, not just the bride), and you’ll want to look your absolute best – every wrinkle ironed, every strand in place, and every step confident. While your sherwani from Tasva ensures your outfit is on point, your grooming game should match the same level of polish and style.
Let’s be honest: grooming isn’t just about a last-minute haircut or a quick shave. It’s a well-planned routine that requires a bit of prep, discipline, and some smart hacks to make sure you glow with confidence as you say “I do.”
Here are 5 essential grooming hacks every groom should know before the big day.
1. Don’t Experiment – Prep Weeks in Advance
This is not the time to try out a new skincare product, facial hair style, or salon for the first time. Stick to what works for your skin and body type. If you’ve been meaning to experiment, do it at least 4-6 weeks in advance, not a week before.
Hack:
Book a consultation with a dermatologist or grooming expert at least a month before the wedding. If you’re planning to get a facial, do a trial session beforehand. Skin reactions are real, and you don’t want red patches or breakouts on your big day.
Pro Tip from Tasva: Just like your wedding sherwani needs fittings, your skin needs trial runs too. Give your body the time to respond and adapt.
2. Eyebrows, Beard & Hair – Shape, Don’t Overdo
Grooming isn’t about turning into a different person – it’s about refining your look. Neatly trimmed eyebrows, a well-defined beard (or a clean shave), and a haircut that suits your face can enhance your features like magic.
Hack:
- Schedule your haircut 5–7 days before the wedding. This gives your hair time to settle into its most natural form.
- If you have a beard, get it professionally shaped. A stylist will know how to contour it based on your jawline.
- For the eyebrows – clean, don’t carve. Get them slightly threaded or plucked just to remove stray hairs, not change their shape completely.
Style Bonus: A good haircut complements your Tasva ensemble. A neatly parted look pairs well with a classic sherwani, while a slightly tousled style works with Indo-western fusion wear.
3. Skincare Is Self-Care, Not Vanity
A radiant complexion isn’t just a bridal goal. Healthy skin looks good under natural light and even better in wedding photos. Start a basic skincare routine at least a month in advance.
Hack:
Here’s a 3-step daily routine to follow:
- Cleanse twice a day to remove dirt and excess oil.
- Moisturise to keep the skin hydrated and smooth.
- Apply sunscreen every morning – even indoors – to protect from sun damage and uneven tones.
Once a week, exfoliate to get rid of dead skin cells.
Facial Tip: Get a groom facial a week before the wedding. Choose one tailored for your skin type – whether oily, dry, or acne-prone. This boosts your skin’s natural glow and reduces stress-induced dullness.
Tasva Grooming Insight: Your skin is the first thing people notice – yes, even before that intricate hand-embroidered sherwani. Give it the attention it deserves.
4. Nails, Teeth, and Body Hair – The Often Ignored Trio
You may be focusing on your outfit, your hair, or your shoes, but what about your nails, teeth, or those stray body hairs?
Hack:
- Nails: Get a basic manicure and pedicure a day or two before the wedding. Clean, clipped nails with soft hands make a big difference, especially during rituals or ring ceremonies.
- Teeth: Start using whitening toothpaste at least 2 weeks before. If you’re feeling fancy, get a professional dental cleaning. Nothing beats a confident, bright smile.
- Body Hair: Trim or wax areas like your chest, back, or underarms – especially if you’re wearing an open-collar kurta or an outfit that exposes some skin. Smooth skin also helps with fabric comfort and sweat control.
Bonus Groom Hack: Carry a mini grooming kit with essentials like a nail clipper, mints, deodorant, and beard comb for touch-ups throughout the day.
5. Sleep, Hydration & Confidence – The Holy Trinity
No grooming tip works unless your lifestyle supports it. Think of this as your pre-wedding fitness formula.
Hack:
- Sleep: Get 7–8 hours of sleep every night, especially the week leading to your wedding. It helps reduce dark circles, puffiness, and fatigue.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water – 3 litres a day if possible. Add coconut water or lemon water for a natural detox.
- Confidence: Walk, talk, and smile like you’re the best-dressed man in the room (because you will be, in your Tasva ensemble).
Inner Grooming Tip: Meditate for 10 minutes every day, or take quiet time to calm pre-wedding nerves. Looking good starts with feeling good.
