  • How To Blow Dry Short Hair (Men)

    So before you get started, you need (you guessed it) a hair dryer and a comb/brush. When you start blow drying, blow straight down and brush the hair forward. Then brush to the left and get rid of excess water in the hair.

    Blow drying the back of your hair is a hard task, so focus on the front up to the crowd. If you use products, this is when you would style. We usually recommend wax or hair spray for dry hair. If you decide to use wax, then make sure to apply evenly.

    This drying and styling process may be annoying, but it takes 5-10 minutes max. What’s a few extra minutes to look your best?

  • How To Spike Thick Hair For Men

    Thick hair – some crave for it, whilst others loathe having a thick set of hair on their head. One thing for sure, it’s a tough one to style. Here’s a few tips to help you guys out!

    Before you attempt to style your thick head of hair, give it a shampoo and condition. This will make your hair soft and easier to style.  Avoid using a hair dryer as this may dry your hair too much, just use a towel and leave some moisture.

    When using your product, rub it through your hair as if you were using shampoo. We recommend gel. After you’ve styled, don’t blow dry as this may make it look messy. Let it sit naturally. Trust us!

  • Up-do hair styles

    Up-dos can be created in many different ways, you can opt for a halo-braided style, a low ponytail or the beehive style among others and these looks never fail to look good with a headband.

    We took up-dos may not be the most appealing but they’re becoming popular once again, and it’s no longer seen as a ‘chav’ style. The multi-twist up-so with wet look hair is actually a simple style to achieve and you don’t have to head down to your salon to get that trending look.

    Up-do styles are not just for the casual days, they can also be flaunted down the red carpet while your pony or plait can actually be rather unique. Create an-up-do style that matches your personality and stick with it, you may just start a new up-do trend.

  • Natural Perms

    Perms used to always look exactly the same. They would be very crimped and they wouldn’t look natural at all. Nowadays you can actually decide on the amount of bounce you want your waves to have, and it’s never been easier to make curls look natural.

    Crimped perms are a bit out of fashion now, and you can have a perm with corkscrew curls, surfer curls or tight twisted curls. There are so many options depending on the hairdressers you use, whether you have short hair or long hair.

    Perms never go out of fashion and that’s mainly because they’ve changed and developed over time. Today, you can walk down the street struggling to spot a perm hairstyle, not necessarily because people don’t get them, but because they’re a lot more natural today and subtle.

  • Tips for hair extensions

    Buy a hair ‘weft’ – they are cheaper! A ‘weft’ is a synthetic or real section of hair that is sewn together at the top. Don’t forget to get extension clips if this is your first time putting in extensions – you’ll need them to keep the extensions in place! If you sew these into the weft, you’ll have a brand new easy system for putting in your extensions. Make sure you pick the right length, otherwise you’ll just end up paying for hair that you’re going to cut off and throw out – especially with human hair as this gets expensive.

    If you are going to wear your hair up and just want to add volume or perhaps a longer ponytail then install them upside down against the roots (and so that you can’t see it, make sure you put it under a layer of hair) The best way is to section your hair into a top and bottom layer. Clip up the top section and then, tease out some of the hair where you want to put the clips, then clip them in at the root at an angle – as this will stop them being seen. Then put your hair up in your desired style.
