Curls have gotten a bad rap for a long time. Admit it: when you think of men with curly hair, you’re picturing the untamed tresses of a Game of Thrones heathen or the overly-tamed wig of a 17th century French nobleman. What you’re forgetting about are the lovely locks that have become Entourage star Adrian Grenier’s signature style, or Justin Timberlake’s notorious closely cropped curls. But we’re here to abolish those curly stigmas. Remember when your mum told you to eat your crusts to get curls? Mum always knows best. Plus, curls get the girls, it’s a fact. Luscious, thick, full hair is innately attractive to a woman because a) it means you’re not going bald any time soon and b) your children are likely to inherit the same attractive hairline. Naturally wavy hair can pose a few challenges, but it also has the advantage of looking fuller and standing out from the omnipresent crowds of straight-haired, side-parted clones. We say it’s time to embrace your mane’s twists and turns, with these men’s curly hairstyles. Men’s Curly Hairstyles: Tips & Tricks We all know that curly hair isn’t the easiest to manage. One minute you’re rocking glossy Shirley Temple ringlets and the next you look like Lenny Kravitz, and not in a good way. It might seem like one extreme or another for guys with curly hair, but there are some easy ways to maintain those waves and have them looking pristine and effortless in no time.
EXPERT TIP – Anthony Nader, RAW Salon Sydney Embrace those curls you were born with guys and maximise the texture and different hair shapes this season. A few tips for men’s curly hairstyles to consider are;
Men’s Curly Hairstyles: How To Wear It Now you’ve mastered curly hair maintenance, let’s get down to hairstyles. Whether you prefer it long curls, short curls or in between, luckily there’s plenty of inspiration from the fashionable fellas of Hollywood. Game of Thrones heartthrob Kit Harington is a prime example of long curly hair done right. The actor keeps his tresses shoulder length and fuss-free. If you’re partial to a shorter style, One Direction’s Harry Styles and Gossip Girl’s Penn Badgley make a statement with styles that are longer on top and cropped around the years. As for mid-length styles, look to Orlando Bloom and Matthew McConaughey for slicked back and sharp hairspo. Styles to avoid are anything that resembles Justin Timberlake during his NSYNC days or the parted ringlets of Lost’s Hugo Hurley. From DMARGE
Bold and rebellious, female mullet has grown to be one of the biggest hair trends of this year. Clearly nonconformist, yet practical, it is now seen everywhere, from a schoolyard to the red carpet. Once the celebrities known for their prominent hairstyles like Rihanna and Miley Cyrus took up the trend, it became clear that the girl mullet would be a big thing now. If you dare to try it too, here are the styling tips you will definitely need. A Brief History of a Mullet Haircut The mullet haircut goes back on time to prehistoric people when they realized how practical it was to cut the fringe to keep the hair out of their faces while keeping the length at their back to keep the neck warm and protected from the rain. It wasn’t until the ‘70s when the haircut got really popular, with Rockstar David Bowie making the lead with the amazing orange mullet we all remember. The ’80s was the golden age of the mullet; the haircut was an absolute trend and loved by most people considering it cool and fashionable. In the ’90s the trend started to fizzle. People who once proudly flicked their mullet to the wind started to cut off their “rattails” and soon the haircut was considered an embarrassment for the world. After a few years of trying to make its way back, the mullet haircut has adapted to the 21st century so that everyone can ROCK this fantastic haircut. This time around, more women are wearing the haircut, making it super stylish and giving it a sophistication it’s never had before. The mullet… it’s here, and this time it’s here to stay! How to Style a Modern Mullet I’m going to share with you female mullet ideas along with tips for easy and efficient styling to step your haircut up a notch. You’ll need to use some products to help you through, so I’ll mention some of my faves; still, you can always replace those with any products you love. #1: Glam It Up Modern mullet can be styled sleek and elegant. To achieve this look, apply some leave-in in conditioner and heat protection on the damp hair. My fave is Unite 7seconds Detangler. Comb the hair into place and blow dry using your fingertips to mold the hair into shape. Use Unite Second Day hair wax to get rid of flyaway, smooth down the back of your mullet and finish off the look. #2: Cropped Mullet The style, which is so flattering on Úrsula Corberó, is all about the haircut. The top is cut like a pixie, but we have the length at the back, making this mullet super cool. For sure, one of my favorite looks. To achieve this look simply apply a leave-in conditioner and comb it through. Blow dry with your hands creating texture, then add Sacha Juan hair wax to create a definition. #3: Punk Mullet See how Úrsula took her mullet game to the next level and stepped it up to this amazing red carpet look. To create this look, apply Unite Hair Blow & Set Lotion to add body and hold. Blow dry the hair with a round brush to create volume. Use your styler to create some wavy texture on top and dress it forward using some hair wax. Grab a comb, apply some hair gel on the teeth, and gel the sides of the mullet backward. With your hairdryer at medium heat and speed, dry the gelled sides to keep them in place #4: Beach Mullet Sophie Thatcher looks great with this shaggy blonde mullet, and you can copy the look too. With your hair damp, apply a detangler and comb your hair through. Use Sacha Juan Ocean Mist salt spray to add texture and medium hold. Create waves in multiple directions using a styler, but always pointing the plates down your styler to not lose any length. Apply texturizer spray and break the waves with your fingers to finish off the look. #5: Wet Look Kesha’s wet mullet look is another hairstyle you can lose your heart to. After you remove excess moisture from your hair, apply a fair amount of gel on the top section and scrunch the rest into the ends. Dress the hair into place and use a diffuser to dry. You can add glossing spray to exaggerate that shiny wet look we’re looking for. #6: Sleek & Straight With your hair damp, apply Unite Lazer Straight (it already contains thermal protection, most Unite products do). Blow dry your hair using your favorite brush. Use your styler to straighten down your hair and achieve a sleek smooth look. To finish off the look, massage some hair serum into the palm of your hands and apply to avoid flyways and add shine. #7: Girl Mullet with Flicked Ends To create this look, apply Unite 7seconds Detangler and comb it through. Use a volumizing spray overall, I love using Unite Boosta for this job. Blow dry the hair with your hands, creating volume. Use your favorite styler to flick the back ends of your mullet upwards. Add some hairspray to hold the style. #8: Curly Mullet You can achieve this look with two different technics, depending on your hair type. If you have straight hair, use a hair mousse to add some hold and blow dry your hair to dry the mousse in. Then, use the chopstick styler no.1 curling wand. Take 2cm sections, wrapping the hair around the wand. To finish off the look, massage Unite U Oil into the palms of your hands and scrunch into the hair to break the curls. If you have naturally curly hair, start by applying your favorite curly girl-friendly styling product. I love Naughty haircare Wave Hello Curl Taming Cream. Comb the hair through with a Denman D3 styling brush and twist your brush to create the perfect curls. Use a diffuser to dry your hair, using low or medium heat to avoid frizz. Then, massage Unite U Oil into the palms of your hands and scrunch into the hair to break the curls. #9: Effortless and Textured Do you want to make your hair look thicker? Apply heat protection, then use Unite Liquid Volume to add texture and hold and blow dry your hair with your hands. Use a texturizing spray to add body. Finish the look with a hair wax dressing the sideburns into shape. #10: Long Mullet This longer mullet style often resembles a shag haircut. To achieve this look, add salt spray into your hair. Dry with the product in, using your hands to create texture. Grab random pieces of your hair and wave them with a styler to create an undone beachy look. Then break the waves with your fingers. 5/1/2021 0 Comments As the Chair Turns - May 2021First and foremost… I want to thank you for all the support you’ve given the last several months. Your being there, even if just virtually for now, has kept me afloat more ways than you could imagine. I was reminded of the struggles other hairstylist and salons are still facing just a few days ago. I saw that someone I went to Cosmetology school with and has their own salon (barbershop, actually) has a GoFund Me page. My friend is fighting to stay open. Others haven’t been so fortunate. This isn’t just true of salons and barbershops, we’ve seen so many other local businesses struggling and relying on our patronage. I know you’re happy salons, barbershops, restaurants and bars are opening back up and you might think you’re just grabbing a meal or getting your haircut, but every dollar you spend with these local businesses is another day’s work and another days wages. I know it is quite a lot to ask of you, but please know we are so very grateful. I still do not know what tomorrow will bring, but for today I’m here and able to do what I love, which is cut and style your hair. Again, all thanks to you. We are not through this pandemic yet. What is happening throughout the world is a constant reminder of how diligent we must continue to be for a while to come. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, though. I think we can all feel a shift and can exhale, even if just a little. I do know it is not for me (or you) to dictate what anyone else should do in terms of getting vaccinated. It is a complicated decision for many people. For me, though, not catching COVID or at least reducing the chances of life threatening complications was enough for me to get vaccinated this last month. One and done and 2 weeks later feels pretty good right now. Whatever your decision, I just want you to be happy and healthy. This might seem early, but I need to let you know I will be taking a few days off the begging of July, July 1st through the 10th to be exact. I'm heading to Colorado to see my Mom. Look at your calendars and plan out your next couple appointments. ++++++++ I never thought I’d say this, but Mullets are a thing for women right now. Done well, a modern mullet looks pretty darn good if I have to say so myself. Check out a few of the looks below. If you haven’t noticed, guys are embracing their curly locks, too. If you’re looking for a some inspiration check out the article I have for you on getting those curls (and you) noticed. There is some curly haircare advice below, too. Last month I shared about “The Rachel”. Apparently, “Farrah Fawcett Hair” it trending BIG TIME. What’s old is new again, right. If you have long, layered hair check out the styling tips below so you can get the look and the flip. Hyaluronic Acid has been a key ingredient in skin care. It’s hydrating and temporarily plumping up the skin to lessen the appearance of superfine lines — but did you know that it could benefit your hair as well? I’ve been on this new hair-apy treatment for a month now. It may be too soon to notice any real benefits but I do know my hair and scalp feel healthier and my hair is less brittle (yeah, us fine hair people have very sensitive hair). I’ve also steered away from shampoos and have gone the No-Poo or Cleansing conditioner route. I have a few articles for you below on the benefits of Hyaluronic Acid for your hair and scalp. So, apparently 7 in 10 individuals have “that friend” who has a reputation of tardiness. And by tardy they mean at least 13 minutes late. Yeah, 13 minutes is late. Are you “that friend”? That’s just some of what I have for you this month. Oh, check out my "Gettin' Through" playlist while you're reading this. Again, I really do appreciate you. As always, I am available by email, text or phone if you have any questions or concerns. Looking forward to seeing you soon! Be well. Take Hair! AND #MaskUp 😷 What's Inside This Month
