Posted: 01/02/2022

Everyone deserves beautiful hair, so take some time to assess your hair routine. At home, you can make changes to obtain healthy, softer and shinier locks without breaking the bank.  Follow this guide for tips on achieving beautiful hair. 1) Turn down the temperature  Heat strips the natural oil from our hair. As relaxing as a hot shower can be, warm water is much better to wash your hair with. After the shower quickly rinse with cold water to tighten the hair cuticles, increasing the shine and improving the hair’s condition. This will prevent brittle hair and keep the hair looking soft.   If you are using heat styling tools, use products that will protect your hair. The best hair curler for the job will style your hair without leaving it dry and damaged.  You can also protect your hair from curling irons and straighteners using hair products that prevent heat damage.   Want to achieve healthy hair quick? Even if you have the best hair curler, opt to let your hair air dry first. Walking around with damp hair is not always fun, but it will prevent unnecessary hair breakage.  2) Sleep on silk  A silk pillowcase is not only amazing to sleep on, but it will help you to get healthy hair. Silk prevents friction between hairs and fabrics which will reduce your risk of developing split ends. You should also change how you wear your hair at night. If you sleep with it in a loose topknot – secured with a silk scrunchie –… Read More

Meet your skin’s new workout thanks to Ole Henriksen’s latest moisturiser

Ole Henriksen’s Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturiser

by

Posted: 25/01/2022

Meet the new personal trainer for your skin – Ole Henriksen’s Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturiser. Packed with peptides, ceramides, collagen, & hyaluronic acid, this vegan, nutrient-rich moisturiser deeply hydrates and strengthens your moisture barrier all day, helping skin hold onto moisture better. Want to know more about the ‘moisture barrier’? It’s the outermost layer of your skin, otherwise known as the first line of defence. When your moisture barrier is strong, it keeps the good in, and the bad out. However, life stressors such as ageing, sun and pollution can weaken it, causing moisture to escape, leaving you with dull, dry, itchy or irritated skin. Strength Trainer works its magic with powerful ingredients your skin craves—amino acids, peptides, ceramides, collagen and hyaluronic acid—to bring moisture, bounce and resiliency back to all skin types, including sensitive and blemish-prone.  It’s a daily moisturiser that will fit into every skincare routine, with results.  The melting, balm-to-gel texture delivers rich hydration with an unexpectedly lightweight feel. And, with no added colourants (the pink tint comes from ingredients like vitamin B12) and naturally derived, refreshingly light scent, you’ll love your skin’s workout session even more. The important bits in short:   Vegan  Noncomedogenic  Anti-Pollution  Strengthens the moisture barrier all day  Instantly doubles hydration, boost elasticity & improves the look of fine lines & wrinkles  Recyclable glass jar Where to get it: Ole Henriksen Strength Trainer Peptide Boost Moisturiser is available at sephora.com.au ($68)

Men’s makeup: why you need War Paint for Men

War Paint men Danny Gray

Posted: 18/10/2021

Make up on men. To those who are unfamiliar or suffering from toxic masculinity, it might be a new/weird/foreign concept and something restricted to the practise of women, but Danny Gray and us might disagree. And here’s why. Since the UK cult men’s makeup brand made its foray in 2009, Danny Gray has been singing the praises of the power of a daily touch up and expanding War Paint’s reach across the world. View this post on Instagram A post shared by WAR PAINT (@warpaintformen) From London and now available in Australia, through NIQUE clothing shops, War Paint is on a mission to normalise men’s makeup and show that it does a lot more than just cover up skin and enhance what you’ve got. Danny’s history is the driving force behind the brand – and after a run-in with bullies as a kid because of the way he looked, he developed a new way to give him the fortitude to kick goals. A skill he’s now passing on to men around the world through the medium of make up. How does it work? War Paint has a unique approach for its customers, old and new. Using a four-option skin tone tool to help estimate a customers’ new set of make up. The result? A perfectly matched haul of men’s wearable product – complete with brushes and applicators – that prepare men of all shapes, colours, sizes and sexualities with the armour they need to present as their best selves.

7 healthy hair habits to adopt right now

Woman hair

Posted: 10/08/2021

Some people take their hair for granted. They pay them no mind until they start noticing split ends, hair thinning, or, even worse, hair falling out. By then, the damage has been done, and the best thing you can do is to cut your precious locks and hope to grow them back again. If you want to maintain strong, healthy hair for life, you need to start implementing some changes. After all, there are many external and internal factors that can directly affect the condition of your hair. In this article, you’ll learn about some of the best habits, from dietary recommendations to styling tips, that you should adopt right now if you want to have amazing hair. Read on. 1. Get Rid of Bad Hair Products Many people believe that they can’t have healthy hair without resorting to hair products. While it’s true that you can’t (and shouldn’t) eliminate them all, you should still be aware of the products you want to use and their ingredients. Pay attention to those with silicones, mineral oils, and parabens. If you can, try to buy products that have natural ingredients, such as coconut or argan oil. 2. Get a Trim Every 6 Weeks Like any other part of your body, hair requires some maintenance. You need to trim it regularly so that it doesn’t tangle or get too long. A trim will also help prevent split ends from forming – which can help keep your hair healthy for longer periods of time.  If you don’t want to… Read More

4 expert tips to keep away hair woes this winter

Man holding his hair

by

Posted: 29/07/2021

Don’t underestimate winter. It might seem all cold and cosy, but it can wreak havoc on your hair regardless of how you dress and who you are. So, we spoke with our pals at American Crew about how to take care of it this winter in Australia and dug up these tips: Tip 1: moisturise Sudden dryness in the air can wreak havoc on even the healthiest of hair. During winter, many men will notice dry and itchy scalps or even flare ups in dandruff or dermatitis which can leave unsightly reminders on that nice winter coat you’re sporting. Using hydrating haircare on a daily basis, such as  American Crew’s Daily Deep Moisturizing Shampoo and Conditioner will give the hair and scalp the nourishment it craves. If your dandruff is particularly bad, replace your daily shampoo with American Crew’s Anti-Dandruff Shampoo twice a week for a deep scalp cleanse. Tip 2: add volume This time of year, between the hats and dry hair follicles, oils can get trapped at the roots causing your hair to feel lifeless and flat. Spend a bit more time on prepping your hair by adding a pre styling product to dry in the hair before finishing off with your paste or pomade. The American Crew Grooming Spray or Alternator Finishing Spray are great options. Try putting a few pumps into your roots and set with moderate heat, giving the roots the air it needs and the hair a fuller and well held finish. Tip 3: prevention is easier than curing Though seasonal hair loss is a strongly debated topic, it’s known that… Read More

The Guy’s Guide to Horny Skin with Bulldog Skincare

Bulldog skincare

by

Posted: 20/06/2021

It’s that time of the year again when your skin is probably feeling a little dry and flakey. And if you’re wondering why this happens every winter, it’s because the top layer of skin, known as the stratum corneum (and colloquially known as the horny layer of skin) has a tendency to be susceptible to the cold. So the good peeps over at Bulldog Skincare have come up with The Guy’s Guide to Horny Skin with Bulldog Skincare to help combat this annoying dryness.  But first, let’s ask a clinical dermatologist the best way to manage dry skin in the cooler months.   “The stratum corneum layer – or the horny skin layer – acts as an important barrier to the outside world. In winter, the skin often dries out more easily, so we should be more diligent with our application of moisturiser,” says Dr Deshan Sebaratnam, a dermatologist at The Skin Hospital at Westmead.  “My top horny skin tip is to keep it simple and be consistent. Use a moisturiser that you like, because that is the one that you’ll be consistent with! Stay away from unnecessary fragrances, and natural ingredients are a nice bonus.”   Now comes the handy guide to keep your horny skin in check…. Step 1: Scrub up nicely There are few things in this world more satisfying than the feeling of smooth skin. Cleanse first, then scrub away your winter blues and flakey skin. When you scrub up you make it easier for the rest of your skincare to penetrate deeper… Read More

2021 Fashion Week hair predictions, according to hair expert

Updated: 16/11/2022

Whip out your Grams – it’s Australian Fashion Week time! While we don’t know what exactly designers will be presenting, we know they’ll be serving up a smorgasbord of delicious hair inspiration for the year ahead. Luke Munn, up-and-coming Australian barber who won the 2020 global American Crew All Star challenge (making him one of the best young barbers in the world), has gazed into his crystal ball and shared some predictions about what we might expect on the runway, which he thinks will then filter into the mainstream over the next few months. Unsurprisingly, as barbers were closed for a decent part of last year, men have gotten used to the idea of growing their hair out. Luke predicts that length will translate into the continued reign of the mullet and thinks men’s bangs will soon be a big thing; bold, fresh and modern. Not only that, but Luke has daring colour on his radar, as men bring their personality to the forefront. See below for a bit more detail on Luke’s hair predictions ? 2021 Fashion Week hair predictions according to hair expert Luke Munn Mullet Everyone is still in love with the mullet (that hairstyle in which the hair is shorter at the front, but long at the back!) and I think it’s here to stay for a while longer. The trend has even reached the stars with the likes of Zac Efron rocking the look also. And it has also been popping up in high-fashion campaigns. So, the mullet is king again for 2021, back… Read More

Thanks to nature shampoo: Luxe quality without the salon price tag

Thanks to nature shampoo

Updated: 19/11/2022

Why wouldn’t you treat your hair as you would your skin with quality, sulfate-free products? Using products that contain sulfates are potentially not only bad for the environment but also bad for your scalp. For instance, did you know sulfate-free products help maintain the natural oils on your scalp and hair, whereas products containing sulfate can strip your scalp of natural oils? So if you’re looking for affordable, salon-quality hair products, the newly launched Thanks To Nature brand may very well be your new go-to.  Husband and wife co-founders, Natalie and Sean Cassar have seen great success in the hair, health and beauty industry, successfully launching Headgear, Barber & Co and Jack the Barber brands. However, they saw a clear gap in the market that will now be filled by Thanks To Nature.  “There was a huge gap in the market for salon-quality, naturally derived, efficacious hair products for women that were available in a supermarket. Australian women spend so much on salon shampoos and we wanted to make salon-quality more accessible,” said Natalie.  All products in the collection are vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, contain no parabens and are sulphate-free. Not only is this luxury haircare range developed using the best naturally derived ingredients but is also accessible, affordable and comes with a huge 500ml of product.  All products in the Thanks To Nature collection are delicately fragranced and come in a luxurious matte finish bottle with copper detailing. The packaging is so slick, you’ll be proud to display the products in your bathroom. And may we… Read More
