Under the eye of top stylists, the ground-breaking ECLIPSE has…
The Return Of The Undercut! It was only
The Return Of The Undercut! It was only a few short years ago that it would have been considered a haircut solely for the young and the daring. Thanks to the popularity of a select TV show and the return of an interest in all things 1920s, the undercut returns to its original, classic roots.
Short back and sides.
If that’s an expression that you’re familiar with, then the odds are you a) grew up in a time when men only frequented barbers b) were raised by a man who falls into the previous category c) have had at least a half decent up bringing. Which more or less guarantees that it’s an expression that everyone reading this piece is familiar with. And yet, it’s an expression that doesn’t get used all that much anymore. As far as expressions go, it languishes in a corner of a disused room covered in only slightly more dust than (did we ever really say them) expressions such as manscaping and metrosexual. But dust be damned – you’re going to hear a lot more of short back and sides in the coming year. Your hair stylist is going to whisk scissors around your head and then do something that they probably haven’t done in a long time: they’ll ask permission to use clippers. Neigh, they’ll beg permission.
And why might that be?
To put none too fine a point on it (and to quote Peter Allen) “everything old is new again.”
The 70s are back for those with American tastes, the 60s are swinging again for those who prefer something from the other side of the Atlantic, and women are again working their way through the 50s though will none too soon start contemplating 1920s fashion for the second time in a few years. As for us guys, we’re already there. Courtesy of Don Draper we got our 60s revival before women did, and now we’re seeing that the 20s have already made their mark on 2012′s men’s haircuts – it’s one of those rare occasions where men’s fashion is ahead of women’s.
A 1920s / 1930s men’s hairstyle revival.
There’ll be no shortage of hair cuts in 2013 that require a set of clippers, but they won’t all be influenced by the way men wore their hair in the 1920s and 1930s. Here we’re not talking about one specific style, but a variation on a theme: short back, short sides, and length through the top. In its time its had many a name, each related to the subculture indulging in it (in 1980s Scandanavia it was dubbed the synth haircut as a result of its association with synth bands of the era). But in short (not a pun, honestly) the length on top slicked backwards, meaning that the disconnect between the back, sides and top makes this an undercut hairstyle.

Great looking hair is something everyone
Great looking hair is something everyone wants! Along side professional haircare, the right vitamins play a very important part in your hairs life…
Biotin is known as the “hair vitamin” for good reason. It promotes hair growth and prevents brittle, fragile hair.
The idea that biotin can also help promote healthy hair is rooted in science. One of the early signs of a biotin deficiency in the body is otherwise unexplained hair loss and hair breakage, as well as dry skin and cracked, brittle nails. Therefore many people feel that if they get extra biotin logically the result will be healthier hair.

Urban Textured Ponytail
Ponytails will never go out of style. This classic hairstyle is always appealing because it’s easy to do and goes well with almost anything. When hairstylists do their thing and get creative, they update a classic look like the ponytail to give it a more modern twist. Ponytail updates are always something to look forward to, like this urban textured ponytail we spotted on the models of the Reed Krakoff spring/sumer show.
The man behind this look is Redken Creative Consultant Guido Palau. Taking inspiration from the type of woman who would be clad in Reed Krakoff, this hairstyle is very confident and exudes a modern sophisticated vibe. Apart from being very textured, this hairstyle pays homage to the glossy wet look that remains on the list of hair trends for spring. Check out the easy steps on how you can get this gorgeous ponytail after the break.
How to: urban textured ponytail
Start by applying treatment oil from roots to tips to damp hair. This will help you start building up that glossy or wet effect. The team at Reed Krakoff used Redken All Soft Argan-6 oil.
Create a rough side part. This look has one on the right but it really doesn’t matter if you choose to create one on the left – go with whatever best suits your hair and face shape.
Let your hair dry naturally for a few minutes and then re-apply the Argan oil for more gloss. Don’t apply too much: you only want a wet type of look, not a drenched or out-of-the-shower one.
When your hair has dried to about 70%, pull your hair back lightly with your fingers into a low pony tail. Don’t use a brush or don’t pull too hard on your hair because this will smooth it out.
Secure your textured wet ponytail with some hairspray.
Add more texture to this hairstyle by taking a few hair strands at the hair line and then pulling them lightly towards your forehead.
What’s great about this hairstyle is that you can wear it day or night. This look is a great alternative to the traditional ponytail and will surely spice up any ensemble
5 Healthy Hair Tips For Men. 1. Eat Righ
5 Healthy Hair Tips For Men.
1. Eat Right and Exercise
Eating a healthy diet is one way to truly nourish hair. Hair needs the same spectrum of nutrients as the rest of the body, and some are especially beneficial. For example, hair is largely protein. Meat and dairy foods pack the most protein punch.The omega-3 fatty acids in fish and nuts are especially good for the scalp. And exercise? It increases the blood flow, delivering all those nutrients to your scalp — which, you’ll remember, is where healthy hair starts.
2. Match Your Shampoo to Your Hair Type
Formulating different shampoos for different types of hair isn’t just a marketing ploy. These products contain specific ingredients to remedy problems like dryness and excess oil in hair.
There are also products like Redken intra force designed to stop hair loss.
3.Get a Haircut
Regular haircuts keep hair and scalp in optimum condition. keeps you looking hot as well!
4. Product Matters.
Only every use water soluble styling products to avoid scalp suffocation.
5.Hot or not?
Keep the water cooler in the shower. Hot water will dehydrate your scalp causing itching, flaking even dandruff.

Subtle and sleek, the chignon is one of the more elegant of 2013 hairstyles.
This particular interpretation – a low knotted Spanish chignon – was the signature hairstyle created by Guido Palau for Loewe’s spring 2013 show. The hairstyle reflected the modern and sleek collection that was inspired by Spain. In this hairstyle, the hair is parted right in the middle and is pulled over the ears to give the look
It is probably one of the easiest hairstyle up do’s that you can do on your own if you are in a hurry or if you want a simple hairstyle that looks very chic and beautiful. learn about the steps on how to do it yourself.
Apply Redken’s full effect 07 from roots to tips on damp hair and blow dry it until it is straight.
With a comb, part your hair right in the middle. Make sure it is a straight, clean parting.
Apply a shine serum from the top section of the hair until the ends of it. The Redken team used glass 01 serum.
Using a paddle brush, pull hair back into a low, smooth, clean ponytail. Cover the tops of the ears with some hair to get the full effect of the Spanish-inspired hairstyle.
Tightly twist the ponytail up to form a low bun. Secure it with pins once it is tight and smooth.
Tame any fly-aways and keep the chignon in place by freely spraying on hairspray. Guido and team used Redken’s forceful 23 for a very firm hold and added shine.
10 Hair rules your probably breaking!! 1
10 Hair rules your probably breaking!!
1) Always shampoo your hair twice! The first shampoo cleanses your hair then the second delivers the nutrients… this is of course assuming you are using a salon shampoo…
2) Give your locks a burst of cold. Before you hop out of the shower, turn the cold water on for a second and quickly rinse it through your strands. It helps seal the cuticle, adding a sleek finish to your locks.
3) Play hot-and-cold as you dry. When using a round brush to dry your hair in sections, start from the roots and dry all the way to the ends, letting the brush linger at the tips of your strands. Let your hair cool off like this on its own for five seconds, then repeat on another section. Alternating between heat and cool-down time helps set your style, and your blowout will have more body.
4) Instead of heading to the chemist to refresh your colour in between visits, book in for a basin refresh. Its an inexpensive service and it keeps you looking your best!
5) Don’t squeeze the GHD too tight when curling. Keep your grip loose and slow.
6) Towel sqeeze your long locks in between Shampoo and conditioner. You will use less and the conditioner will be more effective… It doesn’t do the shower drain any good as it slips off saturated hair!
7) Apply product before you style. Whether you’re curling, straightening, or whatevering, applying product before gives your hair a good foundation to last the day or night!
8) Don’t comb or brush curls! If you dont want frizz dont separate your curls!!
9) A professional blowdryer is a must! GHD air is particularly amazing!
10) Use dry shampoo a different way. Instead of waiting until your locks need an dirt-fighting pick-me-up, apply a dab of dry shampoo to your roots immediately after you wash and dry them. Though your hair’s already clean, the barrier will stave off the debris and oil your strands will collect throughout the day before it hits. Bonus: It also gives you killer volume.
