I think you look pretty dapper [translation: smartly dressed]. How long would you take on doing your hair if you were going out?
If I was going out and doing something – probably not that long. It’s quite versatile.
That Mod hairstyle is everywhere these days and it’s so easy to do!

So Neil how would you like your hair to look?
I want it a bit sharper, a bit more indie. More Mod.
Ok. And a bit more texture as well? Because it’s a bit flat.
Yeah, quite a bit more texture really.
Cool – well, that’s easy. First of all it needs to be wet so give it a little spray with that.
Cool.
DAMPEN HAIR
Just use your other hand to ruffle through your hair and make it nice and wet.
Next up we need to put a bit of gel in your hair so put some of that in your hand – you just need a small amount, perfect. And then just rub that between both your hands and all your fingers. And then starting from the back of head work forwards and just get it everywhere basically.
SPREAD GEL ALL OVER HAIR
PUSH GEL FORWARD FROM BACK TO FRONT
You want to push it all in this direction because that’s the direction the hair is going to go. So next you want to use a hairdryer with a nozzle on and you want to make sure you blow dry everything from the crown forward – not up – all forward and in no particular direction.
So far, so good. Next up we need to use these little things – straightening irons. Have you used them before?
Not really.
I think that’s a no. What we want to do is straighten the hair and pull everything forwards. Start at the fringe, gradually work towards the back. They heat up towards 200 degrees centigrade so mind you don’t burn yourself but they do back a big difference – so give it a go.
Easy
Great it’s looking good so far. What we need to now is just put a bit of finishing project on it. We’re going to use this so just dip your finger in it – use a small amount and rub it between your hands. You want to create a little bit of mess in you hair, a bit of texture so keep it flat at the sides. That’s it – a bit of height on top.
What do you think
Sweet man.
Yeah
Yeah, it’s wicked
