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.

Episode 24: โŒ Traveling or Family?! ๐Ÿ’ญ โŒ

Since a couple weeks Iโ€™ve been thinking a lot about my whole travels.
Itโ€™s 1,5 years ago that I went to Australia as a Backpacker. Since then I never really got home…
Yes, it just feels great to see all those amazing places… But what I learned that LIFE IS NOT ALL ABOUT THAT!
For me it became so much more important to stay at home as much as I can to spend time with my family…
Every time when I come home after a couple month I just realize how much time is gone.

Modeling in Singapore 2019 for 3 month

I was in Singapore for modeling from September until December 2019. It was my third Modell Trip and so much staff changed during that time. In this blog post I will tell you more about what happened in Singapore.

 

First arrival and impressions

When I arrived in Singapore I got on the train and drove towards the city centre because I had rented an apartment there. My first impression was that the streets are so clean and everything was very safe. There were cameras everywhere and you didn’t feel like you had to be careful. Singapore wasn’t as Asian as I thought it was. Everyone spoke perfect English and the street signs were in English.

The public train system was also well developed. You can tap with your credit card to pay the train or you can buy a card at 7Eleven.

 

Itโ€™s so hot in Singapore

Since I was living in Australia for a year, I was used to the heat. But Singapore wasn’t just hot! It was oppressive! You have the feeling that you start to sweat as soon as you get out of the air conditioning. Fortunately, air conditioning was available in all public buildings and on the trains.

The sun is not as strong on the skin as in Australia. Nevertheless, you should always wear long clothes or use sunscreen because the sun is strong there too. Singapore is located directly on the equator.

 

ย 

Modeling in Singapore as a Male Model

My reason to go to Singapore was that my mother agency from LA said that the model market in Singapore should be very good.

You have the chance to model for big magazines. So, you can build your portfolio as a model. That can help you for example, to get the visa for the United States.

My mother agency from LA got me a model agency in Singapore.

Right on the second day when I arrived in Singapore, I went to the agency and picked up my model cards.

The day before you always get the information about the dates and castings that are due the next day. The normal procedure looks like this:

You go to auditions, introduce yourself, hand in your model card, do a few digitals and then you wait to see if you get the job or not.

In three months, I modeled for three magazines and for several companies in the e-commerce sector. I am happy with my time in Singapore because it has brought me closer to my goal of modeling in America.

 

Party and social life in Singapore

I am very disappointed in partying and social life in Singapore. In the last few years I have been to a lot of parties in Australia, America and also in Europe and you cannot compare anything to the parties in Singapore. I didn’t like the music in Singapore at all. It was a remix of songs I heard ten years ago. Alcohol is so expensive in Singapore that I always thought whether it was worth drinking or not. The only thing I did was that I went to movies!

Cinemas in Singapore are cheaper than in Germany. So, during the week in THE CATHAY you only pay the equivalent of 6 โ‚ฌ for a new movie!

 

Beaches in Singapore

Singapore is right on the water but has almost no natural beaches. The only beach thereย is on the island of Sentosa and it is an artificial beach. You can’t compare it to a normal beach. The beach vibe is not like in Australia. There are not many people at the beach and the water is not great either because the water is very warm and there are no waves.

 

Conclusion about Singapore

All in all, Singapore was definitely worth it. Since I was able to drive my business forward and also made good progress in modeling.

However, I would not go to Singapore for life because it is just too boring and there is nothing really you can do.

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia 2018: Fabianxarnold explores the fashion in Down Under

In addition to the Travelling I will try to bring you something about fashion closer. The Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia, which lasted from 13th may till the 19th may in Sydney, was of course something which I experienced. Which bizarre trends I met in โ€˜Down Underโ€™, which personalities I got to know this week and more, you’ll learn in this blog post.

Fashion Week Sydney – My personal experiences and experiences

I’ve been living in Sydney for over a month now and I can say that it’s an incredibly hot city. Not only the weather, but also the people, the air and the vibe gives you an unbelievable life energy! This life energy turned into a huge anticipation shortly before the Fashion Week. For a long time, I was not looking forward to a week like the #MBFW Australia 2018! Since I was very limited as a backpacker in my selection of outfits and had nothing reasonable for the fashion week, I was kindly provided by the International Fashion Group with outfits for the Fashion Week. Thanks a lot for this! : D

On May 14th, 2018, I finally went to Fashion Week to attend my first show. Of course, I was extremely excited because I didnโ€˜t know a single person at Fashion Week. But fortunately that changed in the blink of an eye! On the first day I was still alone and very lost, but on the second day I met two stylists from Melbourne, a model and a social media star from Sydney, which I am now allowed to count as one of my friends. Fashion Week was much more fun with them than I actually thought. Unlike the Fashion Week in Berlin, the Fashion Week in Sydney has a central structure. That means the shows are, with few exceptions, all in the same place. This makes it very convenient for visitors, as you do not have to constantly change places between shows. After seeing the whole show, my feeling was that the #MBFW Australia was also much smaller than any other fashionweek which I had visited before. But after 2 days I had seen a lot more visitors, photographers, models and bloggers iโ€™ve ever seen. All in all, it was an extremely cool week, in which I met a lot of nice people and gained experience! Also … almost forgot … of course, the fashion was also very cool: D But more on that in the next section!

The most bizarre trends Down Under 2018

On this topic, I have to say right at the beginning that the fashion in Australia is not as bizarre as I imagined. Of course there were outfits, which are very unique. But even these I would wear. and anyone who knows me knows that I dress rather simple and street style. By the way … I was even on the cover picture for the best street style of #MBFW Australia 2018 on the website of GQ Australia.

But now back to the topic Trends in Down Under 2018.The video below shows a small part of the St George Nextgen Show. It is worked a lot withย  yellow, green and orange colours. The neck is always covered, be it through a scarf or a turtleneck sweater. I personally like this style great. It is something different and stands out from the normal black, white, gray street style. Besides the shows from Double Rainbow, Blair Archibald and Justin Cassin, I liked this show the most. But maybe that was just because men’s outfits were introduced. Almost all the other shows were about the women.

st_george_nextgen_shows_mercedes_benz_fashion_week_australia_2018_skurrile_outifts

But I would like to respond to that as well. Here I show again a short video from the show The Innovators. The outfit presented here represents the women’s fashion at #MBFW Australia 2018 very well! It is very much worked with white. The small details are very nicely worked out. Furthermore, the outfits are often played with sex appeal.

One of the most bizarre outfits I show you in this short video! Unfortunately I am not sure if this outfit is suitable as streetstyle and is used in everyday life: D Little fun !!

Personalities at the #MBFW Fashion Week 2018 in Sydney

As I said in the previous article, the first day was really crappy … I did not know one at the Fashion Week in Australia … Unfortunately there was no opportunity to meet people. But these days can always happen. The most important thing is not to be discouraged and just keep going. On Tuesday, the second day, things were much better and I met several models, stylists and journalists. It all went on as a pyramid scheme and I feel that within a day I know 50% of the people who attended the Fashion Week in Sydney.Among them were above all many photographers, bloggers and models. My close friends include Caspar Thomas (@caspar_thomas), Phillip Robert Holmes (@philliprobert) and Charlie Taylor (@charlietaylor).The most famous personality was Matthew David Johnson (@matthewdavidjohnson), the bachelor Australia of the last season, with whom I talked briefly. On Instagram, I saw Tammy Hembrow (@tammyhembrow 8.2m followers) attend the GIA show. Since I was already at home …: D Well maybe next time …: D

ย A week full of stress – The Fashion Week

For a long time it wasn`t stressful at the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Australia 2018 in Sydney. I’ve met so many people this week and experienced so much that I cannot remember everything. I was at Fashion Week from mornings to evenings Monday through Thursday, taking with me virtually every show. Even though I have to wait a bit until I have the next big event, I am very happy that this week is finally over! Now it’s time to review all the photos, videos, impressions and contacts and evaluate!

I hope you liked this blog post?! If you have questions, feel free to ask me! I will answer everything and if you have suggestions on what to write in my next blog post, please tell me! ๐Ÿ™‚
