If you have shorter hair, perhaps a slightly grown out bob or a length just above your shoulders you will probably feel curls won’t work however there are other styles that you can create using your ghd hair straightners to give your hair some oomph. By adding some volume and creating some flicks, you can give your hair a whole different look.
1. To achieve the best results you need to blow dry you hair as well as applying ghd thermal protector, the thermal protector will give your hair protection from the heat of the hairdryer, reducing split ends and minimising damage. As you dry your hair use a round brush to add volume in at the root.
2. Section off your hair into two by placing your thumbs above your ears and drawing a line around your head until they meet, section off the top part of your hair with a clip.
3. Place your ghd straightener in at the root and slowly glide down your hair careful not to pull on it then when you reach the ends flick out away from your head. Continue this method throughout the rest of your hair.
4. For the top section follow the same method until you reach the ends here you want to pull the styler under to create a smooth finish.
Warmer weather, lighter nights and brighter days means only one thing, we are heading into summer, it’s a great time of year for you guys to try some casual summer looks that not only look stylish but will also keep you cool when you need it to. The spring summer catwalks feature a lot of colour for designer menswear, a great transition from the drab colours of winter, so let’s have a look at great ways to enjoy this cool colour infusion.
Simple casual fashion basics
Many of you guys will probably have a decent collection of jeans so you won’t need to really worry about those however what to wear with them is the question, light comfy clothing is essential over the summer you don’t want anything that will be too stuffy, t-shirts are a definite must, mix them with light shirts, long sleeved and short sleeved for a casual day and night look. Polo shirts are also a popular choice for summer, they look smart and tidy and are great with jeans or shorts, for a smart, dressed down look wear with either plimsolls or boat shoes great for a casual evening out.
The main thing to remember is to keep it simple, don’t go overboard with accessories either and you should be able to be cool and look casual over the summer.
Not every guy is a style expert, probably far from it however there are ways to keep stylish without much effort and that keeping it simple. For those who don’t particularly like shopping, buying the basics is a great way to have simple style. You don’t have to follow the trends instead opt for non fashion items that are wardrobe staples and don’t tend to really go out of fashion. Summer is a great time to mix and match your wardrobe to get the most out of it.
Jeans are a staple in anyone’s wardrobe, and are also great for the summer as we are not known to have that many scorching days, straight cut darker denims are a great base for any style, simple and go with anything. For a smarter look accessorise your jeans with a belt, preferably the same colour as your shoes! Shirts, long sleeved and short sleeved are always handy to have to smarten up any look, as well as t-shirts and polo shirts and if you like the style vest tops are also good for summer.
During the warmer summer months you probably won’t want to be wearing your heavy trainers and shoes so why not opt for some light shoes such as plimsolls and when and if it gets hot have some flip flops ready.
Once you have your wardrobe staples sorted out you can then look for a couple of accessorise to mix and match for your looks, sunglasses, hats and if its chilly a light scarf.
