We really love seeing ads for haircare and gadgets that will make our favourite hairstyles easier to create and maintain. Whether this is on TV, at a bus stop or in a magazine, hair really is the crown you never take off. Therefore, investing in a healthy lifestyle and good quality products to maintain your luscious locks is well worth it because once your hair has given up, that’s it. Each strand is gold dust so look after it. With hair models to demonstrate different products and services, styles and colours, Models Direct thought it’d be a good idea to focus on this category.

Hair modelling is quite something – it’s a field in the industry that gets regular attention and requests. From live events, promotional work, photoshoots and TV work, being a hair model is a career that anyone can do who has well-conditioned on-trend hairstyles. On the other hand, clients on the lookout for hair models may also request for people who don’t fall into the typical category of to-die-for hair. It depends on what their specifications are which broadens a prospective model’s chances of being booked. It does take time though; nothing is instantaneous so being patient but persistent when uploading fresh images is the key.

Trying your hand (we mean “hair”) at something new

Experimenting with your hair can bring out your creative and fun side whilst being quite liberating! With so many colours and cuts to choose from, a change of hairstyle and/or colour can: alter your entire look, extenuate your features and demonstrate your passion to keep up with on-trend styles for an instant transformation. You might take your inspiration from social media influencers, film stars, singers or celebrities. Whoever your icon is, past or present, there are many styles and colours that you can experiment with.

Right now, we are seeing a surge of various styles and different lengths – beach waves, blunt bob cut, E-girl hairstyle (inspired from a TikTok trend earlier this year where soft pastels or bold colours are used at the front of the hair – I’m thinking of the YouTube ASMR sensation) and for the guys: low, mid, high fades, undercuts, French crop and crew cut to name a few.

Colours trending such as glossy honey, dusky tawny, stardust, metallic copper, brown and blonde balayage, silvers, neon ombre and punk pink are making their way through the hair, funking it up for a blast or blitz of colour.

Switch up your look 

If you’ve liked what you’ve read and are considering this field of modelling, be prepared to switch up your look according to what the project entails. This might mean that your hair will be styled, quite possibly cut and coloured too. If this is a requirement, you will of course be asked for permission to go ahead. However, if you aren’t so keen then the beauty of this industry is that you have the opportunity to turn down an assignment if you wish. On the other hand, if you’re happy to move forward and get the ball rolling then you can expect for your hair to feature in hair product commercials, for demonstrations at fashion shows, and within the hairdressing sector. The possibilities are vast!

Try something new with your hair and if you want to try out a career as a hair model, then head on over to our application form.

Perhaps you have magnificent hair that is a striking, standout feature and makes a real statement wherever you go and whatever you are doing.

Or maybe you have a gorgeous, shiny mane that looks glossy and beautiful, whether it is tied up or down – and however it is styled.

If so, then why not consider hair modelling?  

Hair modelling is big business these days because hair products are big business and the haircare industry is continually developing new products it wants to encourage us to buy.

So, what should you be doing to look after your hair this spring season?

Here are our top tips:

1. Book a trim

Many of us may well have let our hair run a little rampant over the summer. Well, perhaps now is the time to have a little tidy up and to get rid of the dead ends. Book an appointment with your favourite hairdresser and come out feeling brand new.

2. Treat your hair

Central heating indoors can now start leaving hair dry and thirsty. Treat your locks to some heavy moisturising and deep conditioning. Coconut oil can provide a great deep treatment and there are other natural hair foods and products that could pep your tresses up. Otherwise, do your research and find a mask, oil or conditioner from a well-known producer that suits your hair type and will help lift your locks.

3. Plan a haircare regime

New beginnings – new haircare regime. Spring is the time many of us start afresh and make new plans for the future – and why not do that for your hair too? Pledge to try to wash it less, which is essential if you don’t want the natural oils to be stripped out, and opt to blow dry it, straighten it or curl it less if at all possible. All these styling techniques can be damaging. Dying or bleaching your hair too much can also be detrimental to healthy hare. Think about whether you give your hair longer to recover between these drastic treatments – and also take some advice from your professional stylist.

4. Consider a whole new look

Perhaps you’ve been mulling over trying something a little different. Well, spring is a great time to do this. As we emerge from winter and start to celebrate new beginnings, why not be brave and try that dramatic change. You might opt for a whole new style or a complete colour change. After all, if you hate it, your hair should have grown out or faded enough by the summer to try something a little different. Do remember, however, that if you are one of our models, we need you to update your e-portfolio and show us some images of your stunning new look.

The industry is very dynamic and trends are constantly changing, however at Models Direct  modelling agency we notice there are some types of modelling that are popular year in and year out. These are hair modelling, range modelling, body parts modelling, photographic modelling, child modelling, lingerie and swimsuit modelling, and plus size modelling.

If you want to compete as a hair model you must really have a natural, genetic lucky edge over the competition. This type of modelling job can be quite rare and you need to be experienced in other areas to have a chance of getting in.

Another type of modelling job is child modelling. This is one of the most popular fields now with young mothers who want their child to become a star. Also, many companies use babies and children to represent innocence and honesty to the consumer.

Baby and Child modelling is very competitive and obviously their looks change quickly, so it’s essential parents keep their baby or child portfolio up to date so the agency can represent them as their looks change.

At Models Direct we often get requests for particular body part models, ie, hand models, feet model, leg models, so you can have just one strong feature to be a successful model. Modelling jobs for body parts models generally pay £100+ per day, but with great representation and a lot of experience, some people can ask for a lot more than that.

There is now a big demand for plus size models in the industry. Brands are now embracing the different shapes and sizes of their consumers so therefore need to use models that represent their customers. Plus models are generally size 14 and above.

Models Direct also represent Fitness models, these models will generally be very comfortable to model gym wear and have a toned and muscular physique.

I really enjoyed my day modelling, it was a experience I will never forget! In this assignment I had a very good hairdresser cut my hair for me at a event which was promoting there products and he was teaching hairdresser techniques in how to cut hair better.

Hairdresser clients come to Models Direct modelling agency looking for models to teach, train and show off their latest creations. Long hair, short hair and crazy hair are all called for along with all the different types of hair from thick lushes locks to untamable frizz frenzies. They use all different types of hair models to perfect their cutting skills.
