Messy bun
She might be getting some flack, but one thing Meghan Markle can’t be criticised for are her stunning looks. And what’s more she’s started her fair share of trends, popularising the ‘messy’ bun. It’s a godsend for all of us rushing on zoom calls, but also works well if you’re going for that cute but sexy party look.
For a head start, tong your hair first with Remington’s Sleek and Curl Expert Straightener that heats up in 15 seconds and is the perfect tool for giving you loads of texture. It’s even better if your hair is not freshly washed. Then use a hair tie and create a ponytail where you want the bun to sit.
The classic Meghan is towards the back of the head, but you can also go high and forward. Then tuck your ponytail around the hair tie or use hair grips. Finally, artfully pull some piece of hair around you face to suit your features and give that fresh-faced tumble appeal.
The classic bob
Never out of style because, let’s face it, it is easy to maintain and instantly chic, the bob is still one of our most enduring styles and is at the forefront of 2021 trends.
Who can forget the classic Taylor Swift chin length bob or the eternal Anna Wintour ‘bangs’ and bob? The bob flatters and is ageless, bringing out bone structure and is versatile too if you want to add a curl, slick back, or even scrunch it out of your eyes.
It’s all about body and the ‘swing’ so volume is key, and a good blow dry is the base of any fabulous bob. The Remington Thermacare Pro 2400 Hairdryer is perfect to create that body, using less heat and creating a fizz free finish.
One tip for added bounce, bend your head, and blow dry beneath, before styling into the shape you want. For an added, precision finish, glide over with hair straighteners and set. It’s a key trend for this season too, as the bob also looks good under berets and other winter hats.
The United loose ponytail
Manchester United’s women players lead the field when it comes to the loose pony. Check out these headers from Tobin Heath, Katie Zelem and Kirsty Smith. who master the style.
For a pitch perfect look, you can add volume by blow drying first, get sleek with straighteners or go for added bounce by curling your ponytail. Simply pull your hair back from your face and use a hair tie to place the ponytail, then style the way you like it.
So, for winning hair goals that not only do the hard work for you but with the added bonus of the Manchester United crest, it’s a win win!
Glamour curls
A quick way to add instant glamour, especially if you’re doing a ‘day to night’ change, are curls. Everyone from Beyonce to Julia Roberts, knows the glamour of curls and having the right tools for the job makes all the difference. We all know we’re meant to be able to do this with straighteners but really, it’s a bit tricky.
The Remington Silk Curling Wand, with its tapered, ceramic coated barrel, is an ideal way to get the perfect curl in seconds. If you want a loose curl, then use a large section of hair for each curl around the barrel – that’s perfect for that Beyonce curl.
And use smaller sections, working from the back of your head to the front for that classic Pretty Woman Julia Roberts spiral curls, now back in vogue.
The royal wave
Here’s more royal inspiration, this time from Kate Middleton who invites hair envy from all those with longer locks as her loose waves make the most of her crowning glory.
You can achieve a similar look by drying your hair and then creating a centre parting. Then work from the front first with a small section of hair, winding it around the Remington Silk Curling Wand for six seconds, before gliding away from the face and allowing your wave to fall.
Repeat the wave as you want through the top section of your hair and set with spray, for an effortless and sophisticated look.
The buzz
Once the realm of the boys until Sinead O’Connor made it her own, the buzz cut is a head turning look for women and men. You can go full buzz or look to fade like Nicola Adams’ gorgeous style and have fun with hair dye to make the most of such a striking look.
Remington has pioneered the clipper and has a fabulous range for those who want to take the plunge.
The women’s collection comprises:
Silk Curling Wand – With a tapered, ceramic coated barrel, the Silk Curling Wand has ceramic coating for silky smooth results and a conical barrel for luxury spiral curls. Designed in club colours and emblazoned with the Manchester United crest, the curling wand also includes a stylish Manchester United branded storage pouch and styling glove.
Sleek and Curl Expert Straightener – With an impressive heat-up time of 15 seconds, the hair straightener not only produces sleek, smooth results but can also create beautiful, bouncy curls. Included with the straightener is a branded styling mat to protect any surface, although the straightener has a built-in auto shut off after 60 minutes for peace of mind.
Remington Thermacare Pro 2400 Hairdryer – The 2200W hairdryer delivers a 2400W performance, drying with less heat for increased protection, with low noise and 90% more ions for frizz free shine. Included with the hairdryer are a diffuser, slim and styling concentrator nozzles for no-frizz results and a stylish black storage bag embroidered with the club crest.
