You can tell you are in a man’s dwelling if there's a 2-in-1 shampoo and body wash in their shower. Jokes aside, isn't it ironic that women can leave hundreds of dollars at a hair salon only to come back home and hear their hubby say, "I can't tell the difference," while men can get a $40 haircut and have a full glow-up transformation? Male haircuts are pretty much the equivalent of women's makeup. You sure looked good before, but damn, you look snatched now!
It's unfathomable how much men's haircuts can affect their appearance. This also goes for facial hair. A neatly groomed stache or a beard is often the key element of a makeover for men. Other than that, facial hair has always been attributed to masculinity and perceived as more attractive by female counterparts. If you have ever compared the features of a person before and after growing facial hair, a stache or stubble can make a man appear older, thus more mature, which is deemed attractive by women. Also, pardon us for disclosing your secret, but facial hair can neatly cover sagging jowls!
However, combine stylish haircuts for men, groomed and neat facial hair, and weight loss or weight gain (depending on your goals), and you get an ultimate glow-up. Hard work always pays off, and so does eating according to your goals, pushing yourself a little extra at the gym, and trusting the process. Whether it's amazing body transformations or a before and after weight loss transformation, any physical appearance changes that make us feel good about ourselves ultimately reflect in the face and lead to the best glow-ups.
Below, we've compiled a list of before and after photos of men who just went for the change and absolutely "ate it." So scroll down, look at the many handsome men and their transformations, and upvote the best ones! Have you ever gone through a glow-up or a transformation? How did it go?

I'm glad that the woman in the photo loves him regardless. (Whether romantic or platonic, we all need people to stick by us and see who we are inside. I have gained a lot of weight in the last year because of worsening chronic health issues, and my husband doesn't give a flying f**k. He is a keeper for so many reasons.)

Gym 3-4 Times A Week. Diet Still Sucks But I’m Working On It!
Diet is a nasty word. Just eat until you're content and not overly stuffed. If you have to eat a snack a couple of hours later, that's okay too. Don't just eat because your work or someone else's routine dictates that it is meal time. Listen to your body for cues that you are ready for fuel. But hey! It looks like you are definitely on the right track. You look amazing, sexy!

I'm on my journey right now. I lost 15Ibs by just changing my diet and walking a lap around the block. I got some weights I wanna start working with. Been 3 weeks.
does no one else find it slightly creepy how people are calling these guys like beautiful and so handsome and sexy? Wouldn't that get downvoted if these were women? Idk I just don't understand
True, true. It is kinda weird when you flip the tables like that. I do, in threads like these with women like.. makeup threads and such see people calling them beautiful and they're right and get upvotes for it ofc. 'Sexy' would definitely get one downvoted into oblivion I'm sure
Load More Replies...
Literally none of these were from a makeover. Getting healthy isn't a makeover...
