Mane man, Errol Douglas is not only one of the most
professional hairdressers in the business, but he is also one of the most
charming. I caught up with him recently at his Belgravia salon.
From pretty waves, short, blunt bobs to a punk-inspired
undercut (may not be for the faint-hearted), today anything goes Errol told me.
“Whatever style women choose, they want softness,” he says.
“A statement fringe will soften a short crop. Curls have been replaced by waves
and spiral curves. An injection of colour can freshen up a look. Experiment
with temporary colour glosses or add hair wefts.”
Errol decided to that I should go for the poker straight
hair (albeit with a little body to stop it looking too hard). After prepping my
hair with Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream, Errol blow-dried my hair smooth
using a round bristle brush. “If your hair is prone to frizz and static, don’t
tip your head forward. Work in horizontal sections instead,” he advised me.
As it was raining, Errol went over my hair with his new
straightening irons which he will be launching in the spring.
My hair looked like silk. It was stunning. Even though it
was damp when I left the salon, my hair stayed straight and lasted a good
couple of days.
But would I have expected anything else from this mane man?
