Night Out Look For Short Hair With Celeb Stylist Chris Appleton | How I Do | Harper'S Bazaar

Hey guys it's Chris Appleton and I'm gon na show you how I like to style my hair for a night out., Let's get into it. (, serene music, ), Okay, guys so I've just shampooed my hair.. I always use the Color Wow Color Security Shampoo.. This leaves behind no residues in my hair, which is really important'cause. When that happens, it can lead to hair thinning.. This is 100 % clean, which always keeps my color nice and bright, which is really important for me., And I know I've got the security of looking after my hair and scalp.. To finish with, I always without doubt use my Money, Hair Masque.. This is amazing for rich expensive-looking hair.. Not only does it smell great, it's really light and obviously my hair is bleached, so it keeps the hair super hydrated and also strengthened as well. So they're, always my go-to.. So before I blow-dry the hair, this is my kinda secret weapon for blonde.. I actually get asked a lot. How I keep the blonde kinda ashy'cause, I guess. Naturally it can tend to go a little bit yellowy. And my secret formula is right. Here., I use the Color Wow Toning mousse, so this is the Color Control foaming mousse, and if you watch this guys, it's actually lavender colored., So they have one for brunettes, which kind of you know keeps brunettes, nice and rich.. This is a lavender-tinted mousse which effectively I just put through before I blow-dry my hair. It tones away any brassiness, any yellow tones., It literally neutralizes it., And you can actually see just as I put it on see how much ashier it makes the color which, for Me is amazing, ,'cause it's. What makes the whole thing look. Kinda, cool.! In fact, my pet hate is when my hair looks yellow., So I always like to use this. It's nice and conditioning as well, which is always super important.. Okay, so shampoo and conditioner done. Styling product., Honestly, especially when my hair is freshly bleached. I do like to add one more product.. This is the Kale Cocktail by Color Wow.. What I love about this stuff is it's actually just a cream., So I can use a small amount., But this actually strengthens the hair by 50 %. With my hair being blonde, I have actually suffered quite a lot with breakage.. I'Ve actually had it done a couple times where my whole hair has broken off and it literally comes off at the scalp.. You can see how dark my natural hair is so to bleach my hair this light. I need all that protein and all that strength. I can get., So I'm always about cocktailing products together to keep the hair super strong., And I know a lot of people. Don'T love to use products, but for me, honestly, it's the kind of foundation to keeping your hair strong, keeping it hydrated., And most of my prep is done when my hair is wet. All right, guys now we're gon na get into drying my hair.. So I like to use a small round brush and I use the Leandro Limited hair dryer.. I like this hair dryer'cause, it's nice and light and super powerful.. I literally blast most of the water out of my hair blow-drying in a forwards direction. So you wan na kinda blow-dry the hair forwards in this direction. And then I always lift the bangs up so always try and get some volume throughout the bangs. And that's when I use a little round brush.. So I use that at the end, just to kinda give it a little bit of a polish give it that little bit of a kick and keep that volume in my hair. So let's get into it. ( dryer blowing ) (, calm, uplifting, music ). Now a little tip when I like to dry my hair guys, this is perfect for you., I always like to sort of overdirect my hair. So effectively. I wear my hair this way, but if I dry my hair this way it kinda gets quite flat. So I actually dry the opposite direction, so I blow-dry it in this direction because then it gives it more volume and it gives it a little bit more kind of an undone texture., So tip is to always blow-dry your hair in the opposite. Direction. ( dryer blowing ) (, calm, uplifting, music, ), Okay, guys. So you can see already I've kinda dried the hair to a little bit. It'S like 80 % dry, and this is probably where I'll pick up the brush.. My natural texture is actually really straight. So I actually use a brush just to give it a bit of a bend'cause. I kinda like it when it does this kinda thing. It has a little bit of kinda movement and a bit of texture just makes the whole thing. Look. Cooler. I've been wearing this hairstyle, for I guess the last couple of years it's kinda become symbolic of my, like I guess, identity. I've kinda become stuck with it because everyone's like ``, Oh the guy with the blonde hair. You know the hairdresser guy, the one with the blonde hair.'', So it's kinda become stuck.. It'S interesting when I dye my hair dark, I'm like walk in my hair's brown and I'm like ``, Okay, well, a whole new look ,'' and the response is always very just ,''. You dyed your hair dark.'', But this is my favorite time when it has that root in it. When it has the root. It has a nice contrast and I think, that's when it looks its best. All right fellows. So when you're blow-drying your hair or ladies, I always like to literally I don't even take sections - I just literally get the brush, I let it kinda wrap it around, and I let the hair just kinda pick up on it. And then what you're gon na do Is hit it with the hair dryer just to try and pick it up and give it some volume and a little bit of bend. ( dryer blowing ) (, upbeat music, ), Okay, guys, I've just finished blow-drying the hair.! Obviously right now it's huge it's kinda! Really! Big., I never wear my hair this big, but I do blow-dry it first because it gives you the volume and it kinda lasts all day., This stuff game changer, the Toning mousse. You can see how great it kinda just takes away any. I guess yellowness., It's the yellowness that I really don't like.. It really neutralizes that brassy tones and it actually gives my hair some great texture as well.. So now we're gon na get into styling. So once you've got the kind of volume in. I then like to use a wax stick., So I kind of like the wax stick, because my hair is bleached. So if I use anything too matte it really kinda, just it doesn't work for me it gets really dry.. So with the wax stick, I usually do. Four or five kinda swipes down a couple on the bangs and then just kinda wrap it around in a circle.. I like the wax stick just because I can, I guess kind of start to manipulate my hair.. It kind of almost hydrates. It takes away a bit of the volume and kinda makes it look a little bit more pliable., But then I like to use another wax over the top.. So I use then a little bit more of this. One is more like a mud., It's kind of like a it's almost like a paste, it's in between a paste and a wax.. Anything too oily makes my hair flat. Anything too kinda, dry and matte just makes my hair look dry because it's got the bleach in it.. This is a nice combination.. I don't use a lot kind of a pea-size amount., Literally always rub it throughout the whole palm of my hands.. That'S really important. And, like I said when I was blow-drying it I like to overdirect my hair, so I'll push everything kind of one way, just pushing it all down, and then I push the bangs the opposite way to start giving it some texture and a little Bit of direction., You can see it's already sort of starting to come into place and the volume still maintains its kind of integrity, but it also has a little bit of that: kinda cool, lived-in, texture and that's'cause. Obviously we blow-dried it. My hair's pretty long at the minute I kinda like it this length. I think it looks cool.. I'Ve tried so many different hairstyles in the past. I'Ve had it shaved, I've had it long. I mean that was just not even worth talking about.. My hair's so thick, it was very kind of Kate, Middleton vibes like luscious hair. I wanted to be like cool surfer, definitely wasn't that. So, like I said, I think this has kinda become my signature style.. What I like to do is I love it at this stage when the color's grown out. I think it looks much cooler, but I do have a secret weapon.. If ever I've got a red carpet or if I'm doing something where I just want the color to look a bit brighter, but I don't have time to have the roots done. I use this bad boy.. This is the Color Wow platinum powder.. So this is a root powder.. What I do this is my little trick.. It'S kind of a game: changer honestly. I'll load up the brush, just load up the small end of the brush with the powder and then watch this.. I go in there at the front and you can actually just kind of paint in highlights., So it actually just I guess, distinguishes the root a little bit, so it doesn't look as bad.. A lot of people do this with obviously brunettes and gray hair, but not a lot of people know that you can actually brighten up your blonde by doing this., And this has been a game. Changer for me. See how it instantly kinda connects the color and makes it look like I've got kinda highlights down to the root., It's my little secret weapon, guys. You're welcome., And thank you Color Wow., What's great about this stuff as well, is it's swim-proof and sweat-proof.? Obviously I work out and stuff, so I don't like anything. That'S gon na smudge. There's nothing worse than seeing kind of like guys with black around their hairline, where they've colored it and stuff.. So I know it's not gon na go anywhere. And I think guys. That is about it., I usually kinda. Let it just settle down, do its thing., But yeah. This is pretty much it actually from the back the side and from the front.. Thank you for watching me. Getting ready and I'll see you guys next time.
