Hair style for man – Tiktok Edition

Hi guys, finally I have a new hair tutorial for you. Stay tuned and learn how to style your hair perfectly for any occasion as a man. Currently I have a few highlights on the top and my hair is a little longer. So this tutorial is perfect for those who want to tame their wild mane. Learn now how to make the TikTok hairstyle work for you.

Step 1

If you start with freshly washed hair, the first thing you need to do is dry your hair. The top of the hair can still be a little damp, but the sides and back should be completely dry. When washing, you should use high quality products that nourish your hair. I use conditioner every day, shampoo every other day and once a week I apply a hair mask. In addition, I also use some hair oil from time to time. Currently I use the products of Fable & Mane /ad non-paid.

Step 2

In the next step, I apply some volume foam. Therefore I use a product from Syoss / ad non-paid. For this I use about a handful of foam, distribute it in my hands and then apply the foam in my hair where I want to have volume. Since I like to have volume in the front, I apply the foam predominantly on the front. I also add a little to the sides and back. To make sure it has the desired effect, I rub the foam and make sure it reaches the roots, because it is from them that the volume is generated. Currently it looks like the typical surfer style hairstyle. That’s why I’m already moving on to the next step.

Step 3

To avoid a wet look, I blow dry my hair using a brush. It is important to use the hottest temperature level, but not the strongest level. I roll my hair up with the brush and dry it from down and the top. In this step, do not hold the hair dryer in one place for too long, otherwise the hair will dry out. Now repeat the same with the side. After I’m done with the top hair I repeat this step with my right and left hair parts as well. In the end the rest of the back of the head must be blow-dried. Here I use no brush, but simply my hands to speed up the process.

Step 4

Now a little bit of a matte paste can be applied. I don’t use hairspray or hair gel, for example, because I don’t want my hair fixed, but rather a natural look. Here I use the “Strand Matte” matte paste from got2b /ad non-paid and the molding paste from Forte /ad non-paid. In this step the hair can be simply messed up and moved backwards and forwards. Then I tiny it up at the sides and roll it up in the front.

And now my TikTok hairstyle is ready. I hope you like the result. Tell me about your thoughts and your suggestions for improvement in the comments.

Q&A – My Move to Los Angeles

Hey Guys, as you probably already know from Instagram, I finally got my visa and my dream to move to LA is becoming a reality. You can’t believe how happy I am. To give you a better insight into my situation and to help you understand my decision even better I thought of doing a little Q&A with you to clarify the questions I keep getting asked. Be curious – maybe your question is included.

First question: I think the most frequently asked question is actually, why are you moving to LA?

The dream has already manifested itself about three years ago – 2019 with me. At that time I just lived in Australia and started modeling. From a purely business perspective, LA is a goldmine for modeling. Most big campaigns are shot there and most world famous photographers but also stars and starlets learn there. Recently LA has also become the place to be for TikToker, which of course suits me very well. And as you all know: Hollywood film productions are also from LA. In addition, my mother agency also sits in LA, which is why it was then only offered to work towards my artist visa – and as just announced, I have taken three years for the full approval and can not wait to start now.

2nd question: How long are you staying in LA?

I haven’t planned exactly yet, but I know that I will stay there for a long time. My talent visa is for three years so I have the opportunity to reach my full potential there and who knows what will happen. Since I don’t have an apartment in Germany anymore, I don’t know where I will move to after that time. Maybe I can extend my visa, maybe I will go back to Australia or maybe I will go somewhere else. Currently I have no countered plans. But of course I want to enjoy the first months in LA and see if I can imagine spending such a long time there.

3rd question: Are you going to Coachella?

Yes, I’m going there. We’ll be there the second weekend, since we’re not flying to LA until 4/21. Then from the 22nd to the 26th I’ll be there with some other influencers and friends. After Coachella I’ll be staying in an Airbnb until I can finally move into my own apartment in LA on May 1st.

4th question: Are you moving alone?

Since we’re going to Coachella first, of course I won’t fly alone but my journey will continue alone afterwards.

5th question: Are you excited?

Since 2018 was the first time I’ve been so far away from home, I’m not that excited to be there anymore. For such a long period of time, of course, I have never been away but in 2018 and 2019 I was on the road for a total of 1.5 years which fortunately takes away my anxiety. So I am only positively excited and full of anticipation.

6th question: Why don’t you go to Australia?

I love australia. it’s my favorite country and I liked the whole mentality and life there more than enough. So I can say that Sidney is definitely my favorite city so far. But I don’t want to commit myself. Currently I’m single but of course I want to make that dependent on my future partner and see where she comes from, where it drives her and who knows maybe we will grow old together in Australia. But for fashion modeling and acting, so for the current stage of life Sidney is just not so well suited, so now LA is first on the plan. Everything step by step.

7th question: Are you going to auditions and do you already have a role in LA and will start filming?

No, that’s why I will go to such castings, of course. As I already said, I have my agency in La and they will of course support me in getting a foothold in the film industry and finding a good film agency.

8th question: What is so great about LA?

I was already in LA for two months in 2019. I didn’t really like LA there if I’m completely honest. For me it was dirty, I didn’t meet as friendly and open people as in Australia but the opportunities there are indescribable. When I’m in LA I can develop my career as fast as nowhere else.

9th question: How can local photographers work with you?

You can always reach me through my email. If you contact me via Instagram, the DM might get lost, so it’s better to go the old-fashioned way.

Tenth question: How will you move around LA? There is hardly any public transportation there.

The last time I was in LA I took Uber a lot. But since I plan to stay longer this time I think I will buy a car.

11th question: Will you visit Las Vegas?

The last time I was in LA I was in Las Vegas for two days. This time some of my friends want to visit me in LA and we are already thinking about doing a boys trip to Las Vegas.

12th question: What did you prepare to move to LA?

If I am honest not much. I am not good at planning. I just booked my flights, took care of accommodation and of course my agency is there. I haven’t even packed yet, although it’s going to start soon.

13th question: Are you moving to LA for professional reasons or for self-realization reasons?

As I just answered, this is a professional decision for me to take my business to the next level. If it was just about being freer and developing personally I would probably go back to Sidney.

If it was just about being freer and developing personally I would probably go back to Sidney.

14th question: Will you live permanently in Los Angeles or will you go back to Germany?

As I just mentioned, I am quite flexible. I like to drift and would like to see who I meet in LA and how the whole situation develops there before I make a decision.

15th question: What do you expect from your move to LA?

Again, I don’t have a clear answer for you because I have to let LA as a place to live sink in. However, my dream would be to get a foothold as an actor there and star in a Netflix series like Vampire Diaries.

16th question: Will you focus more on modeling or acting in LA?

I think I will focus more on modeling at first because it’s easier to get started. Acting is a hard place and if I focus only on that, the chance of really succeeding in LA is too low. I mean everyone wants to make it in Hollywood as an actor.

17th question: What is so special about LA?

I think LA fits my vibe very well. I’m more of a beach boy type of guy who likes to do sports and I think that fits LA well. Also my work as an influencer and generally my work in social media fits well the vibe of the city. For example, I don’t see myself long-term in a business city like New York where everything is very classic and stiff.

18th question: What does being a model mean to you?

This doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with my move to LA but it’s still a very intriguing question. Personally, I can say that I have become very self-confident through modeling. The fact that my appearance, or modeling finances my life impresses me again and again. And I am grateful for it. Since I concentrate on my goals and shape my body as I need it in my profession, a lot has changed.

19th question: What will you miss most about Germany?

I think it will be our bread. That’s what I missed most in Australia, too, if I’m honest. But most of all, of course, my family.

20th question: Do you already know people in LA?

Yes, I know some people in LA from my last trip in 2019.

21st question: Do you have a bucket list for the USA?

I would love to visit New York. Washington is definitely on my list as well though. Miami, Florida in general but also San Francisco I would like to see. Maybe Texas as well – something more unusual I don’t know exactly why but I want to do it.

22nd question: What is your dream place to be?

In LA, Runyon Canyon and generally in the world – Sydney.

23rd question: Is your brother coming with you to LA?

No, but he will definitely come to visit me.

That’s it. I hope I can give you some helpful answers. In one week I’m going to Coachella – I’m so excited. You guys too? Stay tuned. Of course I will take you there as well.

Dubai Trip 2022 with Philipp Kamper and Felix Arnold

Hey Guys,

as you probably already know, I was in Dubai last week and had an unforgettable time there with my brother and a friend who is a creator from Vienna. Of course we met some other friends and colleagues on the spot.

Why Dubai? I can answer that easily. Dubai is not only luxurious, has good weather or is super modern – Dubai was also perfect for us to produce content. So we weren’t just there to take a vacation.

During our time in Dubai, we spent two days at Five Jumeirah Village and two days at Five Palm Jumeirah.

In general, Dubai is very worthwhile for the dining experience. We went out a lot and always ate incredibly well. Of course, we also made a trip to the desert, drove expensive cars through the city and missed time at the beach. The old town of Dubai is also very worth seeing and a nice contrast to the otherwise very modern life there.

Have you ever been to Dubai? If so, what have you done? Tell me about your experiences and for all those who have been there – I can only recommend it to you.

For me it goes soon again on travel – any Ideas where I am going?

My typical BACK-WORKOUT

Hi guys, also today I want to take you on a workout. After I have already shown
you how I train legs and chest in the gym, today it’s the turn of the back. Be
curious and learn with me how you can make your workout particularly effective
and efficient.

Warm-Up

As usual, I warm up with 10 minutes of cardio before I start the exercises.
We train very early in the morning today, because we still have a lot on the
agenda. In addition, this is also great for the body, because your body will burn
more calories throughout the day. So I can only advise you!

ABS – Sixpack Workout

Since we are still in Mallorca and the weather is good today, I will show you my
typical ABS exercises in the outdoor area of the gym. First we start with some leg
raises. To do this, I hang onto the scaffolding and move my legs up and down
again and again. Here I try to get up and then very straight down. But if it is too
hard for you as a beginner you can just move up your knees to the level of the
belly button. Here you do not necessarily have to count the repetitions because
we only work with your own body weight. Here the motto is: The more the more
effective. But do not overdo it, because we are just starting the workout and still
need power for the other exercises.
Alternatively, you can also grab a mat and lie on your back, stretch your legs to
the sky and also now perform the same up and down motion. It’s more
strenuous with your legs stretched out than with them bent. Depending on the
difficulty level, you can choose between the two variations.
After I finish with the hanging leg raises I continue with sit-ups, followed by lying
leg raises and Russian twists. Here Superset means: perform as many
repetitions as possible, because we also work here with all exercises as already
explained above, with our own body weight.


ABS Workout (4 Sets):
hanging leg raises (super set)
sit ups (super set)

lying leg raises (super set)
russian twist (super set)


I love activating my abs before a workout because I’m already focused and can
target the body part I want even better. I used to do my ABS workout at the end
but then I couldn’t concentrate on the muscles so the order I show you today is
the most effective for me. To achieve a similar form as me, I can only give you
the way to do more and more repetitions, instead of increasing the weight.


Following my four exercises, I do planks. First straight and then sideways. The
point is to keep the body in the same position as long as possible. During the
exercise, the butt must be at the same height as the back the whole time,
otherwise you will sag and not be able to effectively use your muscles. I always
hold for 2.5 minutes for the regular planks and 30 seconds for the lateral ones.
The good thing is that through the exercise we have now already warmed up the
shoulders, which we also need for the back workout.

Back Workout

Now I go back in and start
my back workout with some lat pulls on the machine. When I do back workouts I
am not very stuck in my routine. Sometimes I also start with some chin ups and
pull ups.

warm up Set: less weight (10-12 reps)
first set: 83 kg (less reps)
second set: 83 kg (less reps)
third set: less weight (many reps)

For my lat pull I use a wide bar. Here it is important to be very upright and not
move your back too much. Again, I follow the pyramid principle of weight
distribution and start with little weight which I then increase. At the end, as
always, I do another set with little weight to once again push my muscle as hard
as I can. But you already know that.
Here, it’s super important to make sure your elbows don’t stop in the front when
you go to the back. They must always be positioned at the back. This will allow
you to better target the upper lat, because afterwards we will do very tight lats
to target the other muscle groups. So it’s important to target the upper lat here
to get the full range of motion.

As just announced, we now change the grip on the cable pull to do lats in a
tighter grip. Here we also did two sets with 83 kg in 5 repetitions. We left out the
warm-up set with a few weights because we did both exercises directly after
each other. After that we did a drop set where we went down to 59 kg and as the
last set we did many repetitions (12 to 15 pieces) with little weight.
In general, with all exercises it is important to focus and concentrate and rather
take less weight and have the right execution.

Next, we do the Arrow exercise. Unfortunately, you can’t always do this, because
the machine for it is not available in all gyms. But when I have the opportunity I
always do the exercise because here you can hit the muscles particularly well.
For the right positioning you have to lean back a little bit on the machine.
Another tip is to always include a few concentrate pushes here, i.e. to exhaust
each side individually.

Next, I do wide pulls. Here I do each arm individually. To get the perfect position
on the machine, I lower the seat a bit so I can really pull the weight back. Try to
move your elbow up here and straight back.
warm Up Set:

less weight (12 – 15 reps)
first set: 50 kg (less reps)
second set: 50 kg (less reps)
third set: less weight (many reps)

After that I do deadlifts. But not real deadlifts, because I try to concentrate more
on my lower back. For this I use the barbell. Here it is especially important that
you don’t bend your knees too much, but just a little bit.

first set: 80 kg (12 reps)
second set: 100 kg (8 reps)
third set: 100 kg (8 reps)
fourth set: 110 kg (6 reps)
fifth set: 60 kg (12 – 15 reps)

After that, I train my back shoulders. Here I try to sit quite high on the machine.
It is important that the arm is in line with the shoulder. As with the previous
exercise, you should also lean back a little. It is also important to avoid curling
your neck like a turtle. To prevent this from happening you can turn your elbows
upwards.

first set: much weight (less reps)
second set: much weight (less reps)
third set: less weight (many reps)

As a last exercise we train our biceps and neck with the dumbbells.

first set: much weight (less reps)
second set: much weight (less reps)
third set: less weight (many reps)


That’s it guys. I hope you like my routine and you can include some in yours. See
you soon !

My typical Chest-Workout at the gym.

Hi guys, today I will show you a glimpse of my workout routine. The last time we trained together legs, today is the chest turn. So that the complete chest area is also addressed, I also train the shoulder and triceps. Be curious and learn how to exhaust your chest muscle most effectively in the gym.

Warm Up

At the beginning of the workout I do 10 minutes of cardio. I deliberately go on the stepper because I move my arms here in addition to my legs and thus also warm up my chest and back. After that, I stretch with a resistance band and then it’s off to the machines.

Shoulder Resistance Band:
3 times inwards (20 reps)
3 times outwards (20 reps)
3 times up and down (20 reps) 3 times backwards (20 reps)

The only important thing here is that the band is very flexible, as this is the best way to warm up the shoulders. During the exercise it is important that the upper arm does not move and remains rigid. The movement should be made exclusively from the forearm. The execution is ideal when the arm is at a 90 degree angle. When we are done with one arm, we switch and now push outward. This is a little more difficult, but after a little practice you can do it well. For beginners it makes sense to hold the upper arm with the other hand to avoid too much movement.

1st exercise: Bench Press

Our first real exercise is push ups with the barbell. Since I have quite long arms, I hold the bar far outside. But you can vary this depending on arm length and preference. Here, too, it is important that there is a 90 degree angle in the movement. To clean up, you can first do a set without weight. Here you can then also go a little deeper than normal to completely exhaust the muscles. But never go too far down, otherwise you can injure your shoulders. So you don’t have to touch your chest.

In this exercise we do 5 repetitions with weight:

First Set: With the bar (20 reps)
Second Set: 60kg (12 – 15 reps)
Third Set: 80 kg (8 reps)

Fourth Set: 85 – 90 kg (4 – 6 reps)
Fifth Set: 80 kg (4 – 6 reps)
Sixth Set 50-60 kg (as much reps you can)

As you can see, the progression here is similar to the squats. During the first repetitions the weight increases and towards the end I take it down a bit to use the last forces and tear the muscle completely.

2nd exercise Dumbbell Press

The next exercise we do on the dumbbell press. Here I will do 3 sets. The same principle applies here: First increase the weight and then perform the last set with less weight. In between the three reps, I always do as many push ups as I can. Normally the muscle would rest in the break between the sets, but these supersets make the muscle work even better and save you time by combining two exercises.

First Set: A lot weight (6 reps) Second Set: A lot weight (6 reps) Third Set: Less weight (many reps)

In the exercise, it is important that you do not go too much in the direction of the head when going down, but rather stay at the level of the chest. Again, a 90 degree angle should be maintained. What is also very important in this exercise is the position of the bench. This should be set at a 45 degree angle.Many people set the bench too low, so you can hit the desired muslin but not ideal. In our concentrated set, we lift one arm at a time to make the movement more controlled than before.

3rd exercise: Flyings

After the exercise we continue with flyings. Here too we do 3 repetitions. Here I always try to set the seat of the machine as low as possible, so that my hand is a little higher than the nipple line.

First Set: Find your weight (12 reps)
Second Set: A lot weight (8 reps)
Third Set: Much weight (many reps as you can)

During the exercise, I try to target the mid and upper chest, as we will be doing dips afterwards that are more targeted to the lower pecs. The most important tip here is simply focus: perform your exercises slowly and properly and focus on the muscles you want to target to get the best possible results.

4th exercise: Superset Dips + Handstand

Now follow the already announced dips. Here we also do 3 sets. The number doesn’t matter here: the more the better. So even if it’s already very much at the end of the workout, try to get everything out of it.

In the superset I do three sets of handstands for 45 seconds each. Another version of the handstand is to do it facing the wall. This makes the execution much harder and the handstand even more effective. If you can’t do a handstand you can either try to do it with help or alternatively do shoulder presses. If you do shoulder presses it doesn’t matter what weight you use, again it’s just a matter of pushing the muscle as hard as you can through many repetitions.

For dips, many use additional weight to their own body weight. I never do that, because I don’t want to get bigger because of the modeling, but only more defined. So it depends on what you want to achieve.

After that we do another set of side shoulder raises. Again, we do as many repetitions as we can. When doing this, make sure that when you go up, you move your thumb down to address the middle part of the shoulder.

Last exercise: Triceps

Finally, I’ll do a triceps exercise on the cable pulley. It’s always important for me to lean back a little so that I can see my arms better and concentrate on the correct execution. As an alternative, you can also lead the cable pulley over your head and perform the exercise the other way around. If you really focus on your muscles during the exercise, it’s enough to do an exercise where you target the trizeps.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me in the comments. Otherwise, I look forward to your reactions and have fun imitating!

My typical LEG-WORKOUT at the gym.

legday fabian arnold how to train

Hey guys, as already announced in my last video I’m in Mallorca right now. My videographer Michel is with me again and we opened a small workspace together with my friend Elias from www.dreamdestinationfilms.de /non paid Ad.

Besides all the work we have to make sure that we stay fit. I have already filmed my six-pack routine for you. https://youtu.be/ibayU72uWFw

Today it’s the turn of the legs. Have fun sweating!

This time it is not a home workout but we train in the gym.

Warm Up

To warm up, we start with some cardio. My favorite thing to do is to ride a bike. Today I start with 20 minutes at speed 12, but I generally never do much treadmill because I have knee problems and that puts too much stress on my knees.

1st exercise Squats

After the warm up we started with our first exercise: squats. To not overload our muscles we start with a set without weights, only with the bar.

To perform the exercise perfectly, I have a simple trick: Always use a towel to avoid the bar from hurting your neck. Normally there are some black rolls as well to avoid pain but for me it works way better with my towel. If you are wearing running shoes it is better to take them off to generate a more secure stand. In this exercise it is important to keep your back straight. To make this easier, it helps to look up a little while doing this. To put a little more pressure on your muscles you can bounce a little when you get to the bottom. In this way you will fully stimulate your muscles. It is also important to keep your knees behind your feet.

If you are training with a friend, you can use the time he or she is training to stretch a little. However, if your friend needs help, you can stand behind him or her during his or her session, so the back can’t slip into a bad position.

Now you can see a small overview of our training session. As I mentioned before, I like to start with no weight and then slowly tease my muscles out by increasing the weight. At the end I do one more set with less weight and exhaust any energy my muscle still possesses. In general, it is important to train until the muscle is exhausted. However, if you are still starting out, it is better to use less weight and make sure to perform the exercise correctly. This is effective and will lead to more success in the long run. It is also important to use clamps on the edge when squatting with a lot of weight. This way you can make sure that you don’t injure yourself during the exercise.

1. Exercise – Squats

  • First Set: With the bar (20 reps)
  • Second Set: 50-60 kg (12-15 reps)
  • Third Set: 80-90 kg (12 reps)
  • Fourth Set: 100 kg (8 reps)
  • Fifth Set: 110 kg (12-15 reps)
  • Sixth Set: 60 kg (12 reps)

2nd exercise Lunges

After that we got a small elevation to perform our exercise on. This not only trains the balance but also shapes the buttocks. As a beginner, make sure you start with less weight so that your balance doesn’t suffer.

In this exercise you take the bar like in the squats and do lunges forward. This way you train only one side of the butt which is very effective and exhausting. Also here it is important to go down straight, slow and stable. The execution is perfect if you have a 90 degree angle when going down. Since it trains only one side it is important to make sure that you have two repetitions in one set: One for left and one for right.

2. Exercise – Lunges:

  • First Set: 60 kg (10 reps each site)
  • Second Set: 60 kg (10 reps each site)
  • Third Set: 60 kg (10 reps each site)

3rd exercise Leg Hamstrings

After that, we continued with Leg Hamstrings. For this we used the device provided for this purpose. Here you can always orient yourself on the position of the bar. The bar must be positioned exactly above your ankles so that you get the best results. This is important, because otherwise the roller will rest on the Achilles tendon and can quickly cause injuries.
Throughout the exercise, you should look up a bit to get a straighter back.

4th exercise Leg Extensions

For the next exercise we use a machine again – the leg extension. Here it is important to sit up straight and make sure that your back is straight. The knees should protrude a bit above the seat. When you go down with the roller, your legs should be at a 90 degree angle. The same rule applies here: if you have less experience, use less weight.

There are two different versions of the exercise. You can stretch the feet or pull the feet to you.

4th exercise

  • First Set: Choose your weight (12 reps)
  • Second Set: Choose your weight (12 reps)
  • Third Set: Choose your weight (12 reps)

5th exercise

After that we started to train our calves. There are many different exercises for this. You can sit or stand up straight like we did. Here it is important that your upper body does not move, so it is very stable. The legs should be a little bent, not straight.

5th Exercise – Calves

  • First Set: Choose your weight (12 reps)
  • Second Set: Choose your weight (12 reps)
  • Third Set: Choose your weight (12 reps)

Should I take supplements?

After a workout, many people tend to take supplements, but this is not always necessary. With my normal food I already cover the necessary protein intake. The rule here is that you need 2g protein per KG. To grow a little stronger, you can of course use supplements for support. After training, it is advisable to take BCAA, for a faster recovery.

What should I eat before and after a gym session?

If you train in the afternoon or in the evening you should eat something before your training to have more power. But when I train early in the morning I quit breakfast and just have a banana afterwards. After a workout you should always eat something with sugar to help your muscles recover better and faster. Fruit is perfect for this.

I hope you could learn something and now you have even more motivation to go to the workout. In the next few days I will do a shoulder and back workout. Be curious.

My Campervan Conversion – Mercedes Vito

Hi guys, I spent the last months converting this Mercedes Vito, year 2007, into my dream campervan. And I can tell you: The result is outstanding. Of course I have accompanied the conversion work for you. Step by step you can now follow the transformation. I hope you are at least as excited as I am.

Mercedes Vito 2007 – before conversion

Step 1: Rip it out

Logically, I ripped everything out of the van first.

Step 2: Soundsystem +Navigation

After that, I first replaced the speakers on the side and then the navigation system. Therefore Just Sound sent me some equipment and more precisely my sound and navigation system, as well as an Insulation for better sound.  It’s amazing. To find out more about Just Sound, here is the link for you:

Step 3: Insulation

Then I insulated and re-clad the Van. Before I put the heat isolation on, I used an isolation film for a better sound. It was pretty easy to install, due to the fact it is self-adhesive and sticks automatically to the roof and the sides. Afterwards I got some Armaflex 19mm isolation, which I installed on the sides and in the ceiling. This one is self attaching as well. 

Step 4: Sides and Ceiling

Next, I cut, painted the wood white and installed it, with the help of my dad, at the sides and the ceiling. The bottom I stopped myself until the end. 

After Step 1 – ripping everything out

Step 5: Floor

I used a PCV carpet for the bottom. Here it was important to me to find a floor in wood look and one that fits from the stability, because it can not be too soft, otherwise you would see the footprints after a while. I also trimmed the bottom to fit perfectly on the floor. Of course, I had to pay attention to the cutouts for the seats and other details. To be honest, I had some difficulties with this at the beginning, because the floor did not fit in all places right away. But in the end everything worked out. After all, we must not forget that this is a DIY project, where of course not every millimeter can be perfect. 

Step 6: Foiling – Van Design

Since I traveled to London on business, the project had to rest for two weeks. After my return, however, I continued working directly and my Campervan was polished by the Foliencenter NRW.  As a motif I have chosen a black and white camouflage pattern, on which the logos of my companies are integrated. If you also want to foil a car according to your wishes, I can highly recommend the Foliencenter NRW. Here is the link to the website, if you want to get more information: https://foliencenter-nrw.com / Advertisement.

Step 7: Tyres + Details

And then the last step has already begun. I got new black 18 inches tires and a bull catcher.

And now my Capervan is finally ready. I hope you like the result. Tell me about your thoughts and your suggestions for improvement in the comments.  –> RESULT ON YOUTUBE

Hairstyle Tutorial – short Hair

Hey guys and welcome back to another hair tutorial! This time with my short hair.

I went to the hairdresser, because I didn’t like my long hair anymore. I haven’t done a hairstyle tutorial with this haircut yet, so let’s go! It’s like 5 mm on the side and a normal boy’s length on top.

Step 1: Wet the hair

Wet your hair and start raising it up a little bit, because we are going to use volume foam later on.

Step 2: Volume foam

It doesn’t really matter which product you use. Take a hand full – that’s enough. After that you use the hair dryer and hair brush to style it. Take the brush and roll it into your hair, creating a toll in the process. Then you dry it with the hairdryer. But watch out: don’t get too close, because if you do, your hair dries out and tends to break easily. Analyze the direction or the swirl of your hair. It doesn’t make any sense to force it against ist natural direction.

Step 3: Dry it

When you are finished with your brush, your hand takes over. Dry your hair with the hairdryer.

Step 4:

When your hair is nice and dry, the matt paste comes into play. It doesn’t really matter what paste you use. Take some in both of your hands and really mess up your hair. First mess it up and then tidy it up.

Et voila, you are done!

Hair Care Routine | How to care mens hair?

Hey guys, welcome back! Today I want to show you my daily hair routine, let’s go! 

Many people ask me these three questions:
– Which product do I use?
– How often per week do a shower?
– What are the steps of my daily hair routine?

Which Products do I use?

Right now I’m using the products of Fable and Mane. I use the shampoo, conditioner, the mask and the hair oil. They keep my hair strong and hydrated. The link to the products are of course in the description of my YouTube video. 

How often per week do I shower?

I shower almost everyday. I’m going to the gym and sweating, so it is really necessary. I wash my hair everyday, but I don’t use shampoo everyday. That way my hair doesn’t dry out. When I don’t use shampoo I only use water and conditioner.

My hair routine

Before the shower 

Once a week I use hair oil by Fable and Mane. This product strengthens the roots.
Fort hat you need partly wet hair. You can either do it right before showering, because you have to rinse it out later, or you can do it right before going to bed, if you shower in the morning.
With the oil comes a pipette. You drop a few drops of oil onto your roots and then gently massage them in with a comb. Then you let the oil soak in for at least 5 minutes, I do it overnight. Then you wash it out with shampoo. 

Shower 

As I said before I use shampoo every second day. Besides other ingredients there is coconut herb in the shampoo of Fable and Mane. It is important that your shampoo doesn’t dry out your hair too much. That’s why you shouldn’t use too much of it as well. Massage it in from front to back and let it soak for not more than 60 seconds. After that, wash it out.

Then I use the conditioner. It softens the hair and strengthens the ends. Again: don’t use too much. Rub it in your hair, not in your skin. It’s a product for the hair, not the skin. Wait for at least 1 minute and then wash it out. It’s important to wash everything out, because if you want to style your hair later and there is still some conditioner in it, it might feel heavy and it’s harder to style that way.

Once a week I also use the hair mask. It helps to hydrate and repair the hair. When you wash it too often and don’t use additional care, it is possible that your hair might get damaged. Let it soak in for at least 5 minutes up to 2 or 3 hours. After that wash it off. 

Also remember, if you dry your hair with a towel, don’t rub heavily, but rather try to be gentle. This is much less damaging. 

So, this is my hair routine. I hope you liked it and and are able to implement some of those things into your own routine. Definitely check out my YouTube channel and my other blog posts and videos on fitness, styling and modeling.

See you soon, take care guys!
