I’m Iskra Banović, editor of Blufashion and the voice behind its fashion, beauty, and lifestyle stories. Fashion, beauty, and lifestyle are my playground, but I'm just as likely to share the messy side of it all, like the time I tested a "must-have" skincare gadget and ended up with glitter stuck in my hair. I love turning trends and everyday finds into something useful (and fun) for real people.

Joe Jonas Hairstyles

Joe Jonas Fade Haircut Joe Jonas Hairstyles – Former Jonas Brother, uh, wait… He and Nick Jonas are actually brothers, so I guess I shouldn’t call him a former Jonas Brother. I digress. The former member of the band the Jonas Brother, Nick Jonas (like his brother) isn’t afraid to change his hairstyle once in a while. This is a good thing. So many guys get stuck wearing the same haircut forever their look gets boring. Joe doesn’t always hit a home run with his hairstyles, but he almost always looks fresh. If I had to pick one of Joe’s…

Joe Jonas' Blue Merman Hair

Joe Jonas’ Blue Merman Hair Joe Jonas’ brother Nick Jonas seems to get the most attention regarding his hair, but in recent months, DNCE band member Joe Jonas’ hair has gotten the blues (and greens). The pop superstar started with some very subtle blue highlights and has steadily increased the intensity of the color, and it’s kinda cool. This is men’s merman’s hair done right. DNCE’s new tune Cake by the Ocean is pretty catch, too. You can try this color using temporary hair chalk, which can be a fun change of pace without the commitment. Landon Strempel Silver Merman…

Casual Slick Back haircut

While 2023 was the year of big beards, undercuts, and man buns, there are some changes in store for 2024. I think this year will trend towards shorter beards and clean shaves. The slick, side-parted hairstyle will stick around, but we’ll see more blending and less disconnection, and more aggressive tapers. I also think we’ll see shorter styles (especially as guys begin to grow out their undercuts) and more texture this year. Following are the types of men’s hair trends you’ll see in 2024. If you find a style you love, bookmark it and show it to your barber or…

Mens Hair Trends

Men’s Hair Trend: The Faded Quiff Haircut Men’s Hair Trend: I predict the strongest trend for men’s hair for fall/winter 2021 will be the faded pompadour style quiff. We’ll be seeing close-cropped sides, taken high and tight and left longer and worn in a quiff on top. Beards will be cropped close or shaved completely, and the emphasis will be on a cleaner cut. Monsieur Pompadour! Pompadour refers to a hairstyle named after from Madame de Pompadour (1721-1764), mistress of King Louis XV. Even if they are many different types of hairstyles, the basic concept is hair swept upwards from…

Quiff Haircut

Men’s Hair Trends – The Quiff Haircut The term quiff is a popular British term used to describe a lock of hair that is typically brushed up and back off the forehead. These days the term quiff is used to describe a variety of haircuts in which the hair is brushed up and off of the forehead. The traditional quiff is generally part pompadour and part flattop, but can even include an undercut. Today, the term quiff is quite vague, so rather than asking your barber for a quiff haircut, you would be better served to ask for a specific…

Beluga Razor Review

Those who read my articles on a regular basis know I’m a bit of a barber geek and love trying new gadgets, few of which, unfortunately, impress me.

Top 5 Best Razors

Top 5 Best Razors – The Best Tools for Shaving Face Of course, the type of razor you shave your face with is largely a matter of personal choice. Among wet shaving enthusiasts, many prefer the classic double-edge (DE) razors which offer a very close shave. A DE razor is not for everyone and they do require a more patient, steady hand. To say I’m not a “morning person” would be an understatement. First thing in the AM, there’s nothing steady about me so I prefer to shave with one of the modern cartridge-type razors which are much more forgiving to…

Types of Shaving Brushes

A great shaving brush can really take your shave to the next level by helping create a rich lather, exfoliating your skin, and lifting your beard. Of course, not all shaving brushes are created equal, and the prices can range from hundreds of dollars to just a few bucks. Never buy a shaving brush on price alone — expensive brushes are not necessarily higher in quality. I have a wonderful pure badger brush I’ve had for the better part of a decade, and I paid about $50 for it. We’ll take help take away some of the guesswork by explaining…

Top 6 Shave Kits for Men

Top 6 Shaving Kits For Men I took a survey asking the men I know, which includes guys that might be classified as metro-sexual, about the type of shaving products they use. I was stunned to find out how many use drug store shaving foams and such – we are talking most if not all. Unacceptable! (I imply that in the nicest way possible) Skin needs to be treated with more TLC. Thus I have determined that shave kits make great gifts for guys whether it’s actually for yourself or someone else. 1. MenScience – Advanced Shave Kit This kit…
