Want to impress a woman? Make sure you polish your finer points.

You probably already know that ladies have an eye for details. Men, not so much. In fact, we polled almost 1,000 women to find out which details men often miss in their daily grooming regimens—and found out that most guys are barely skimming the surface. Here are the top offenders and tips on tackling each one.

HAIR: Draw the Line
What you're missing: You sculpt the front of your mane with the scrutiny of an IRS auditor, but the head hair you can't see could cost you: Three-fifths of women say wayward fuzz sours desire.

Why she notices: Sloppy neck hair can make you look instantly disheveled, says Michael Moreno, a stylist at Chris Chase Salon in New York City.

Groom to improve: Define your back forty with a 5-minute DIY clip job once a week. Remove the guard on a pair of hair clippers (MH pick: Wahl Chrome Pro Complete Haircutting Kit, $60) and lift the hair at the base of your hairline with one hand so that the roots of the regular locks are protected by your index finger. Keep the blade head horizontal to your neck and, working from the bottom up, follow your natural hairline. Don't buzz on faith; check your progress with a hand mirror. Winging it isn't good enough, says Moreno. "You have to see what's going on back there."

FACE: Dig Deeper
What you're missing: A third of women say men don't care enough about their complexions.

Why she notices: "A man's pores are about 25 percent bigger than a woman's," says dermatologist Kenneth Beer, M.D. That means bigger blackheads can form on your nose.

Groom to improve: The plug's black color isn't dirt; it's the oxidative response of the oil in the clogged pore interacting with air. A daily wash is not enough to evict the more subtle squatters. "Bar soap won't cut it," says Dr. Beer. "Instead, pair a daily salicylic acid-based cleanser to exfoliate the skin with a weekly clay mask to purge impurities." Try MenScience Microfine Face Scrub or Lab Series Skincare for Men Oil Control Face Wash.

BREATH: Tame Your Tongue
What you're missing: Even mildly stinky breath can be a dealbreaker for more than half of women.

Why she notices: You think a Tic Tac will suffice in a pinch, but her nose knows better: Some research has indicated that women can be more sensitive to scents than men are, so they may be more likely to detect even subtle mouth odors—bad news for suitors with less-than-fresh breath.

Groom to improve: Attack the tongue; it's where many halitosis cases stem from. "Most people don't think about their tongue when they're taking care of their teeth," says Kevin Sands, D.D.S., "but it harbors bacteria." Brushing your tongue will remove 40 percent of the offending volatile sulfur compounds, according to Brazilian researchers, but better yet, use a tongue scraper (like GUM Dual Action Tongue Cleaner, $3) and you'll remove up to 75 percent of the bad guys.

TEETH: Even Out the Edges
What you're missing: Unevenly bleached teeth are a bigger turnoff than an off-white shade that's uniform across your smile, said women.

Why she notices: Even minor deviations in color can amplify the contrast between the shades.

Groom to improve: Coverage is key; strips and fixed trays don't adequately cover your teeth, missing the crevices in between. Choose an at-home whitening kit with custom moldable trays, which will help evenly distribute the bleaching chemicals for consistent coverage. We like the Rembrandt 2-Hour Whitening Kit.

My very good friend Stephanie C. gave me some time out of her busy ass schedule to provide me with a very insightful review of Kings of Leon's album Only By The Night and share it with the rest of my awesome blog lurkers! Check out Stephanie's blog at http://lostinlifelove.blogspot.com/. Thanks again yo! ;)

With three hits out already you have most likely heard of them, but either don't know their name- it's Kings of Leon, by the way- or can't get enough of their few songs rotating on the radio. If you aren't already obsessed than I hope this review of their latest album, Only By The Night, will get you there.

The album starts off with Closer, a song that introduces you to their eclectic bluesy-rock- alternative sound. The lead singer's (Caleb Followill) voice will surely make you melt and therefore serenade you into continuing on to the next song Crawl. This song is more upbeat in style and perfect to listen to for a night of playing pool and drinking beer with a group of friends. Next up is Sex on Fire. If you haven't heard this song already, I highly urge you to go to MySpace and listen right now! Not only is the title sexy but so is this song. Let's just say you'll be singing and dancing along to this song in no time. Following is Use Somebody, Kings of Leon's second hit. It has been circulating the airwaves for a few months now, and is a very sweet song that even manly men can get addicted to. Then Manhattan starts playing, which is more poppy and bluesy in style. It's very fun and shows this bands incredible range in talent and musical style. Revelry is a little slower than the last few songs but it's mellow beat is cool, and, overall, the song is unique and I dig it. Next is 17, which, like Manhattan, illustrates their new age bluesy style. It's fun and is a great lead to one of my favorite songs on the album, Notion. Then comes another one of my favorites, I Want You followed by Be Somebody. These songs will explain themselves in how great they are once you listen to them. Cold Desert is one of their slowest songs and I like it because it speaks to the listener. It's a completely different sound from the rest of the album but it makes you pause and reflect on the rest of the album and brings you back to the present to simply just enjoy. The last song, Frontier City, was a great pick for the end of the album; it blends both mellow and upbeat sounds you've heard throughout the album in this one song. It leaves you on a high note wondering and anticipating what is to come next.

One of my favorite things about this band is that they fuse two completely different genres of music to make a harmonious, fun, and unique sound. If I had to describe this band perfectly in one word it would be Sexy.
