Man who ‘gave up on having good hair’ finds ‘game-changing’ resolution
He said his hair was left ‘looking so much thicker’ and much easier to style
As the festive season approaches, many are already on the hunt for the perfect gifts for their loved ones. Beauty products have always been popular for their practicality and appeal, but selecting the right haircare gift can be challenging given their personal nature.
Slick Gorilla may have the answer with its newly launched range of gift sets, which make it easy to sample its most reliable grooming products, including the Care Box Set, designed to eliminate build-up and rejuvenate the scalp. It’s available for £39.95, but readers can currently enjoy a 10% discount on each full-priced set by using the code ‘REACH10’.
This set revitalises hair with four essential products. For regular upkeep, a daily 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner keeps hair clean and healthy, and its natural fragrance ensures it smells delightful.
There’s also a detox 2-in-1 for those who frequently use hair products, providing a more comprehensive cleanse that’s ideal when a thorough refresh is needed, reports the Mirror.
The set also includes a scalp scrub that exfoliates and soothes dry and flaky skin, which Slick Gorilla suggests using once or twice a week. A scalp brush featuring wide silicone massage bristles rounds off the gift set, which the brand claims promotes a healthier scalp by boosting blood flow and circulation.

This could make a great Christmas gift
Slick Gorilla has garnered a fanbase of high-profile figures, including MMA superstar Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett, rugby union player Louis Rees-Zammit, and NFL quarterback Sam Hartman. Slick Gorilla claims its products are suitable for all hair types, cruelty-free, and certified vegan.
Other gift sets in the collection include the Volume and Texture Set priced at £24.95, which comprises a hair styling powder, sea salt spray, and a pair of socks to add a festive touch. Alternatively, the Full Styling Box Set is available for £49.95 and includes a texture powder, a styling clay, sea salt spray, a cream styler, and a wide-toothed comb for creating bold textures.
For those looking elsewhere, the Nivea Men Feel Set To Go gift set could be an ideal body treat, retailing at Boots for £16. The set includes a shower gel, face wash, anti-perspirant, and moisturising cream, all neatly packaged in a stylish brown washbag.
Another option is Bulldog’s original grooming kit, now £10 from £20 at Superdrug. The kit includes a gentle cleansing shower gel, a 24-hour moisturiser, and a refreshing face wash.
Returning to Slick Gorilla, many of its products have received positive feedback on the brand’s website. One customer commented on the daily 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner, saying: “After years of using all kinds of waxes, gels, hairsprays, etc., I just gave up at the thought of having nice hair and put it down to my hair texture.”
One chuffed customer raved about Slick Gorilla’s Hair Powder product, saying: “Then came along Slick Gorilla with their Hair Powder product and all of a sudden the game changed.
“My hair looks so much thicker using this powder and styles superbly while looking clean with a matte finish. It actually gets stronger as the day goes on, I’ve found, which is even better.”
Another satisfied user of the scalp scrub commented: “This leaves you feeling super refreshed after every use.” And a patron who purchased the Slick Gorilla sea salt spray left positive feedback, stating: “Very good product, stays in for ages. The only bad thing is that it takes a little while to set. Apart from that, 10/10.”
Another customer who tried the brand’s clay pomade remarked: “Pretty good. I finally found something I like to put in my hair. I only wish the smell were a bit nicer and a bit less shiny. I would buy it again.”
However, overall, many were pleased with their purchases. A shopper who bought the scalp brush left a five-star review, saying: “Quality product as always, used by my son to ensure we always look 10 out of 10.”
