Men: A barber or a hairdresser

Oct26

There are many successful barbershops in British towns, but there are also plenty of fantastic hairdressers too. Some men choose to go to a hairdressers whilst others will visit a barber, but what’s the difference? Well, a barber will specifically cut men’s hair yet hairdressers will cover male and female hair. You’re likely to find that a barber is more equipped and skilled at carrying out short cuts, fades and trims. They also have the skills to carry out work on beards, but hairdressers spend so much time working on women’s hair, they’re not necessarily the best equipped for cutting men’s hair. They are two completely different skills and though both will give you a haircut, they won’t give you the same type of haircut. Make sure you go to a barber if you’re a man who needs a short cut.

Why do I get dandruff?

Sep28

Many people ask us why they get dandruff and it’s actually a good question. The fact is some people get it, some people do not so what is the contributing factor to dandruff? Well, it’s merely a case of having dry skin. If you have dry skin, you’re more likely to have dandruff. Winter cold air, combined with overheated rooms is a common cause of itchy, flaking skin. If you have small flakes of dandruff and these flakes are dry and not oily, then it’s highly likely your dandruff is caused by dry skin. This is why people with seborrheic dermatitis are very prone to dandruff. To combat this, start using an anti-dandruff shampoo. You don’t have to use it every day but using it several times a week will significantly reduce dandruff you have and will also prevent itchy scalp. Many big brands provide anti-dandruff versions of their shampoos and conditioners.

Nude Hair Colouring

Jul10

There’s a lot of talk about warm and cool hair colours in the fashion world, but what’s the deal with the neutral ones, like nude hair. Well, nude coloured hair is becoming extremely popular and it’s mainly because it provides a balance between the two. With nude hair, there’s an even amount of warm and cool shades, which cancel each other out to create a neutral colour. Cara Delavigne parades nude hair on a daily basis, and it’s almost caramel in colour, not too warm yet not too cool. The great thing with this shade is that it can be very flattering on all skin tones, so it doesn’t matter whether you’re naturally pale or sun-kissed with an olive shine. We expect this colour to grow even more popular throughout the course of the year, and you’ll see more models walking down the catwalk with this stunning new look.
