TOP TIPS FOR MEN DYING THEIR HAIR BLONDE LIKE GARY BARLOW
1. ALWAYS VISIT A PROFESSIONAL
The most important tip that we could ever give is - always get your hair dyed by a professional. If you're truly looking to take the leap for the near future, and not just use a temporary dye, we would always recommend going to see your barber, or going to a hairdresser if a barber near you doesn't offer hair dying services.
This will ensure that you don't come out with streaky hair, or the dreaded ginger when you wanted blonde.
Heads up for gents in London and Newcastle, 2 barbers that we know are great at dying men's hair are Toastie Styles at Johnny's Chop Shop Barbers in Oxford Circus, London and Tom Baxter at Tom Baxter Hair in Newcastle!

2. AFTER CARE IS VITAL
Bleaching your hair blonde is never going to leave it in great condition, so it's vital that you care for your hair after dying. This means using a good shampoo, and conditioner to wash your hair, and going through some intense conditioning & hydrating treatments once a week. Shampoos and conditioners rich in protein are perfect for your hair after dying, as peroxide can strip the hair of proteins.

WHAT IS THE NEW GARY BARLOW BLONDE HAIRSTYLE? HOW TO GET IT?
On top the Gary Barlow style is kept pretty long, between 4-5 inches and then has plenty of texture to create a messier effect - with an undercut. On the back & sides it's kept nice and tight, with a short grade 2 or 3 all over.
If you're also looking to dye your hair blonde, then make sure you follow the steps above.
Top tip - When looking to get a new cut you're always best to show your barber a CLEAR picture of the desired cut. That way it ensures you get exactly what you're looking for!
