With so much education available online during the COVID-19 pandemic, Henkel is changing things up! On Tuesday, May 5, the professional beauty company will be launching Hairdressers United, their first-ever, 24-hour global online hair festival. This unique livestream is created to celebrate the strong bond within the styling community, and is a way of bringing everyone together during this difficult time. The live stream will begin in Australia at 1 a.m. EST (3 p.m. ACST) and will move its way west across 13 time zones, and will feature 35 stylists, 19 countries and nine brands, including Schwarzkopf Professional, Joico, Kenra, Sexy Hair and #MyDentity. In addition to that, Henkel is aiming to set a new Guinness World Records title for "longest online hair education seminar streamed over the internet!" The stream will be featuring how-tos and Q&As on hair colouring, cutting, styling, updos, and more, featuring some of the world's top hair artists. This event is also being held in collaboration with the Fritz Henkel Foundation, and all the raised funds will be given back to the community, with a percentage matched by Henkel and the foundation. The full-day stream will be accessible through Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube. You can follow along and join in on the conversation with their hashtags #TogetherWeStand #StrongBonds #HairdressersUnited. |
| What You Need To Know When Working With Your Male Clientele’s Natural Texture Posted: 05 May 2020 06:00 AM PDT
From Harry Styles to Bradley Cooper to Kit Harington, men are becoming more and more eager to embrace their natural curls and texture. So what better time for stylists to hop on board with the trend! We asked curly hair experts for their top tips and tricks that will help you create the best textured looks. Study UpEducation is absolutely key when working with curly hair, says Donna Beyak, co-owner of Edmonton-based The Men's Room, and an international all-star educator for American Crew. In order to properly consult your client, you'll have to know how to work with curly hair—inside and out. "The issue of clients being apprehensive about embracing their natural curls is often a result of them not coming across the right expert yet," she says. "Sometimes stylists and barbers aren't trained enough and only know what they know. You have to be able to analyze your client's hair needs, growth pattern and curl type, and that's when you can actually help them get their desired look and shape." Let Them BeSince curls are delicate, it's best to not overwork them with tools and products, says Mathieu Mainville, a Contessa-winning freelance hairstylist based in Montreal. In doing so, this can cause excess frizz and make the ringlets stray from their natural shape. "When the hair is wet, we put the product in, work it with our fingers or a large-toothed comb, and then don't touch it anymore. This way, you get nice volume, minus the frizz," he explains. "Don't manipulate the hair more than necessary. You have to know when to stop playing with it." Embrace the RazorAccording to Beyak, using a razor when cutting curly hair is one of the best ways to avoid over-texturizing. "Most guys want their hair to fall naturally, so when you use a razor, you're able to target which direction you want the hair to fall and you can actually enhance the curls," she says. "You have so much more control that way." For example, if one of your curly clients wants the "hockey hair" look, Beyak recommends using a razor upward to get that classic flip around the ears and down the neck. Know Your ProductsWhen it comes to curly hair, frizz is its worst enemy, but can be avoided by using the right product for your client's curl type and pattern. "You have to know your products inside and out," says Beyak. "You have to understand exactly what each one does, what it's formulated with, how it moulds and works with every hair type. The right product is the 'make or break' factor of their desired look." To avoid crunchy or overly slick curls, Beyak recommends American Crew's Light Hold Texture Lotion, Matte Styling Cream, Liquid Wax and, for some extra texture, Boost Powder. Mainville likes to keep hair lighter with a light pomade or curl cream, such as L'Oréal Professionnel's Tecni.Art Bouncy & Tender. Diffuse the SituationAs you've likely heard (or seen), curly hair never dries the same way twice. However, the best way to have a bit of control over the drying process is to use a diffuser. Though this may seem like an obvious choice, many stylists often turn to a regular blow-dry because it seems faster, but it may compromise the finished look." Air-drying may be easier, but it can be unpredictable," says Mainville. "When working with a blow-dryer you absolutely need a diffuser for more control. If not, you'll be creating so much extra frizz." |
