Get the 50's look


2010 looks set to continue reinventing old styles

Strong influences from the 1950s, 1980s and 1990s reign supreme and the hottest looks pay homage to classic styles, while injecting a contemporary twist

If you’ve had the same hairstyle for aeons, there’s never been a better time to ring in the new

Be bold.  Be daring.  Try one of this season’s smokin’ new trends

 

 

 

The Sky’s the Limit

QuiffJedward - that’s X-Factor twins John and Edward Grimes - might not be the coolest cats on the block but they know how to lead a trend

Their gravity-defying swept-up style exaggerates the 50s quiff to bring it bang up to date

And not only are they doing their thing with the high hair trend, they’re also chanelling the season’s blond colour trend

Product is key to creating a sky-scraping style and making it stay put.  Try TIGI Rockaholic Way Out Super Hair Glue for style that sticks

 

Grunge God

Grunge lookWith rock star style still very much on the radar, the 90s grunge revival continues apace with unkempt mop tops top of the style agenda

Look to Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain for inspiration.  Pearl Jam front man Eddie Vedder’s mass of undone curls is also a key look

For a modern take, look to Luke Pritchard, singer with British band The Kooks, whose shaggy, full curls are the epitome of contemporary grunge

Texture is key here - think controlled, not fluffy.  A texturising product or curl definer will work wonders

Smooth TIGI Bed Head For Men In Check Curl Defining Crème through damp or dry hair to define, hold and fight frizz or work TIGI Bed Head Mastermind Bite Me! Hair Candy into hair for separation, texture and shine

Hair Metal Hero

Rock star lookInfluenced by 80s rock bands, this look takes its inspiration more from Axl Rose’s sleek lengths than from Jon Bon Jovi’s bouffant shaggy perm

But for the coolest interpretation, steer clear of swishing locks, instead opting for a shoulder length do

Hair needs to be in good condition for this look, so look after it with regular conditioning treatments

We like TIGI Bed Head For Men Leave In Conditioner which infuses hair with moisture and reduces dryness of the scalp

 

 

Very Versatile

Versatile hairstyleThe classic short back and sides is the basis for this look

With a fringe and lots of length on top, you can create a number of different looks to compliment your mood or to suit the situation

Slick it into a quiff to encapsulate the 50s vibe or spike it up if you’re feeling hardcore

Smooth it forward or flick it to the side for a neat, classic take that works for the office

Versatile hair calls for a versatile product.  TIGI Bed Head For Men Pure Texture Molding Paste imparts controlled separation.  The cream to paste formula gives texture and hold

 

Colour Crazy

Colour crazyColour is still all about blond, although this season you can think about taking it a shade or two lighter

Vanilla tones shot through with caramel for a multi-tonal shade look fresh and modern

Blond hair can quickly start to look brittle and dry, so keeping hair hydrated is very important.  Condition regularly to repair damage

Style with a moisture-infusing product, such as TIGI Bed Head For Men Matte Separation Workable Wax
