When is Father’s Day?

Father’s Day is celebrated in New Zealand on the first Sunday of September, and this year it falls on Sunday, 6th September. It’s the perfect opportunity to celebrate the dads and father figures in our lives and show them a little extra appreciation.

This Father’s Day, treat Dad to some haircare and grooming essentials that will help him look and feel his best.

Styling Products for Dad:

For the dad who wants to spruce up his hair and give it some hold, styling products would be you first point of call. Our top pick would be the Muk Styling Duos. They come in six styles, with each duo including one full-size and one travel-size product, making them perfect for everyday styling, holidays and grooming on the go.

The Kevin Murphy Night Rider 100g and Evo Style Box O Bollox Texture Paste 90g are also classic options when it comes to men’s styling. They’re some of our bestselling men’s products for a reason, providing hold while adding much-needed texture to the hair.

Shampoo and Conditioner Duos for Dad:

For a complete wash day reset a shampoo and conditioner duo would be a great choice for your dad this Father’s Day.

The Evo Buddies Normal (Style) 500ml Duo comes in a great value size and will leave his hair feeling refreshed and invigorated in no time.

The Muk Vivid Colour Lock 300ml Shampoo and Conditioner Duo is a great option for the dad who loves adding fun colours to his hair, helping to protect colour, prevent fading and provide UV protection.

Lastly, for the dad whose hair needs a little extra care the Muk Intense Repair 500ml Duo won’t let him down. This repairing formula is designed to help strengthen and care for damaged hair, making this duo a great choice for restoring healthier-looking hair.

Treatments for Dad:

Hair thinning might not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Father’s Day gifting, but a little extra confidence can be one of the most thoughtful gifts of all. The Nioxin range is a great place to start, with targeted three-step systems designed to support different hair types and levels of thinning.

There are four Nioxin Systems to choose from: System 1 for natural hair with light thinning, System 2 for natural hair with progressed thinning, System 3 for colour-treated hair with light thinning, and System 4 for colour-treated hair with progressed thinning. With both trial and full-size kits available, it’s easy to find an option to suit his routine.

The Nioxin Ultimate Power Duo is another great pick for anyone wanting to support thicker, fuller-looking hair, and the gift pack even comes with a handy brush to complete the set.

Beard Gifts for Dad:

For the dad who already has his haircare routine down pat, why not upgrade his beard routine instead? We have a great range of men’s grooming essentials designed to keep his beard looking and feeling its best.

The American Crew Beard Foam Cleanser 70ml is a quick and easy way to refresh and cleanse the beard. Its convenient leave-in, no-rinse formula makes it perfect for busy mornings or grooming on the go.

For a little extra care, the American Crew Beard Balm 60g and Mr Muk Beard Oil 50ml help soften, tame and smooth the beard for a well-groomed finish.

And for the dad who loves to keep things simple, the Mr Muk Hair, Beard & Body Wash 250ml is a no-brainer. This handy multi-tasker takes care of hair, beard and body all in one, making it an easy addition to his everyday routine.

Shampoo Staples for Dad:

Good hair starts with a great wash, which makes a quality shampoo an easy and practical Father’s Day gift.

The Angel Mens Black Angel Hair Recovery Shampoo 400ml is formulated with rosemary oil to support healthy-looking hair while helping to cleanse away excess oil and impurities from the scalp.

For everyday haircare, the Mr Muk Styling & Texturising Shampoo 250ml and American Crew Daily Deep Moisturising Shampoo 250ml are both great picks. Whether Dad wants to add a little texture to his style or simply keep his hair feeling clean, moisturised and refreshed, there’s an option to give his daily routine an upgrade.
