Men’s Cuts: Toughly Tousled

Men’s Cuts: Toughly Tousled

For men, styling can be a challenge, especially if their strands fall somewhere between straight and curly. Slick, dapper looks are great for a night on the town, but men should have a casual option too, one that works with their texture. The prohibition era styles of the last few season can be hard to wear natural, especially with wavy textures. The cuts shown here offer a stylish alternative. They have enough length and weight to encourage movement with tapered edges that keep things neat.

Step 1: Ask your stylist for a classic graduated haircut with length at the front. And don’t even think about going to a barber; for this cut to look its best it needs to be customized for your specific texture and growth pattern, something that only an expert stylist can do.

Step 2: At home, shampoo and condition with a gentle hydrating shampoo we recommend Pure Lattouf Hydrate my hair sulphate free shampoo.

Step 3: After showering, towel dry hair very well. Mix together a nickel each of KEVIN.MURPHY NIGHT.RIDER and KEVIN MURPHY UN.DRESSED. Run through strands, starting at the crown and working out to prevent clumping at the front hairline. Part if desired and tousle into place.

Highlight From the VMAs: Taylor Swift’s Flapper Fantastic Ringlets

 

 

In the 1920s, Flappers were a new breed of women intent on flouting the rules of acceptable society. Known for being brash, treating sex casually, and dressing provocatively –– they had the temerity to bob their hair –– these fashionable young women set the scene for women’s liberation. Now, with The Great Gatsby remake bringing the Jazz Age back into style, many of springs trends are modern interpretations of the fashions of that time. Always on the pulse, Taylor Swift cut right to it at the VMAs. Her romantic pin-curls give her a faux-bob shape, creating a vintage, retro vibe that swings like a Charleston. With modern hot-tools, anyone with mid-length locks can recreate pin-curls in a few minutes, giving you a memorable style that will be the envy of your friends. Learn how in the style notes below.

Step: Prep hair with KEVIN.MURPHY FULL AGAIN Make a deep side-part. Section hair from the crown to the ears.

Step: Starting from the crown, make half-inch horizontal sections, and sub-divide into three or four vertical sections. If it helps, use pins or clips to clip sections (that you are not working on) out of the way.

Step: Now use a curing iron to create curl in these vertical sections, working inward towards the face. The barrel size of the iron determines the kinds of curls you make. For tight, flapper curls, use a 3/4 inch or one inch curling iron. (Use a bigger iron for softer, less curly, more wavy looks.)

Step: Once a curl is made, use pin-curl clips to pin to head. repeat all around. Once all curls are clipped, mist with KEVIN.MURPHY SESSION.SPRAY and allow to cool (to speed this up, use the cool air button on your blow-dryer).

Step: Once cool, brush out gently with a flat-brush until the curly shape is as you like it (use Taylor’s image as inspiration). Now use pins all around to secure in place. Mist again with SESSION.SPRAY to add extra hold to the finish.

 

Or if your not talented with a curling wand then book into a your closest Lattouf Hair & Day Spa location for a set and style this will give you the same look but with a longer lasting hold.

Make sure you go to bed tangled free, and when traveling make sure to use a scarf if prone to long road journeys. The wind is refreshing but not good for the hair.

It is also suitable for people who have thin hair. They get a bounce that makes their hair look heavier and better. People with natural long curls can equally enjoy a medium style. A jagged layer is a popular hairstyle for women because it does not require frequent trimming thereby reducing the need to visit salons frequently. Razor-cut is another option that adds a glam factor to both straight and curly hair.

People with straight hair can prefer side-parting to make hair look fluffy. Normal long layers on the sides and a bang at the center is normally liked by people who have straight and thin hair.

Medium hairstyles can be tied in a pony tail or with a clutch for the purpose of comfort. They do not require many setting procedures and maintenance products. Another advantage is that both center and side-parting looks apt in medium styles. Highlighting medium styles add some extra detail in the look. It makes the layers look more prominent and defined.

Medium hairstyles are also divided into two categories, formal medium hairstyle and casual medium hairstyle. Formal styles are neat, structured, and require styling procedures. They are normally carried for a short span of time i.e. while attending a formal occasion like wedding, awards function, farewell party, etc. The style is kept intact using hair sprays, rollers, clips, pins, and bands.
