Name: Eric Zatchok

Alias: "Beast"

Club: Beards of the Old Northwest

Currently Sporting: Full Beard Natural, Full Beard Freestyle

Titles: President, Beards of the Old Northwest - Cleveland Chapter

Age of Beard: 2 years

Reason to Beard: I enjoy wearing a beard because it's how man was intended to look. I truly feel like myself with a beard.

On Being a Boss: Being a Beard Boss requires a great deal of responsibility to always make sure your facial hair looks its absolute best. As a representative of facial hair culture, I've traveled to competitions and charity events throughout the Midwest and Eastern US to help make a difference in local communities and help change the perception and stigma that beards and mustaches have carried for years for the better.

My name is Kate Austin and I’m so honored to be blogging for Remington Ready today! I’m the blogger behind Just Kate and today I’m sharing my must-haves for the beach or pool.

1. A beach tote or knapsack is essential for carrying everything to and from your sunny destination.  Other key essentials include a pair of flip-flops and a colorful beach towel.

2. While lying out, I love a good read or a fun magazine to browse through. I can get impatient, so entertaining myself is a must. I often put my headphones in and listen to some music or bring a friend to pass time while I’m soaking up those rays!

3. Pamper and protect.

a. A pair of sunglasses and sunscreen is crucial for a day in the sun. I love this sunscreen from Ulta, because it leaves a pleasant smell on your skin after application.

b. EOS lip balm is widely popular; however look for their Lemon Drop flavor if you want SPF in your balm.

c. Lastly, the Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil is a UV and heat protectant. Perfect for spraying into dry or wet hair for keeping your locks looking healthy. And of course, keeping a hairbrush handy is always a good idea.

 
4. A good suit to make you feel cute and confident is key for making your day in the sun enjoyable. Choose a style that best fits you and own it.

There’s nothing like a nice, clean shave. And Remington offers that in every way.

But, were you aware that Remington also offers a series that lets you lather up, moisturize, and enjoy your shaving experience, even within your shower?

It’s easy to make that a quick part of your daily routine.

The Remington HYPERFLEX™ Shavers can be used in or out of the shower with shaving gel.

Your face loves the shower. The steam and hot water open pores to willingly give up any hair you want shaved. And when you go with gel, a quick shave will leave your face smooth and supple for the rest of the day.

The nourishing moisturizers give you a close, smooth cut and leave your face hydrated and happy. Gel cuts down on damage and irritation, making you look as good as you feel.

Do the best thing for your skin and your schedule. A quick gel shave in the shower is your path to a smoother face.

This is why we  teamed up with Aveeno to give you a FREE AVEENO® Men’s® Shave Gel inside select Remington® HYPERFLEX® shavers.  This perfect pair is available exclusively at Target stores.

Love your face. Do something about it. Shave with gel.

Today we here at Remington are introducing our new blog segment: 1 Accessory - 3 Ways!  Once a month, we will show you how to style our hair accessories not just one way, but in three uniquely different styles! Why buy multiple hair accessories when you can use the same one, and style your hair differently each time? Make your mornings easier, go easier on your wallet, and create great looks almost effortlessly.

Our first feature is a ribbed, ivory flower for the Spring. Not only are they great for an everyday glam look, but they will finish off any wedding hairstyle beautifully! You can purchase your own flower right here.

As a hairstylist for 7+ years I have tried almost every curling iron and wand out there at least once! The Tear Drop Remington Iron has completely blown me away! I closed-mindedly thought that my curls would turn out the same from this wand, as they do most other wands, but thankfully I was very wrong! They had such a beachy and textured effect to them, I absolutely loved it! They steps to achieve this look are as followed:

What you will need:

Tear Drop Remington Wand

Boar Bristle Brush

Teasing Brush (optional)

Small clips

1. Spray a heat protectant all over hair and brush out any product left from the day before.

2. Take the Remington Teardrop Wand to begin curling. Make sure to use glove, to avoid burns. Start in the front of your face and curl one inch sections away from your face.

3. Catch curl as you remove it from the wand in gloved hand and roll back up to your scalp.Use a small clip to secure it in the roll to your scalp until it is completely cool.

4. Remove the pins and brush out the curls with a boar bristle brush.

5. Place your hair where you want it to stay and spray with a medium to strong hold hairspray.

6. Go outside with your beachy curls and enjoy the warm sunshine!
