to school around the corner we have some
easy grooming tips to help your son put
his best foot forward this fall joining
me today is stylist Taylor Booth from
the boardroom to tell you how thank you
so much for being here
who is our fabulously GQ model we have
today this is my son Eli Eli how old are
you how old are you
wait when a good this way okay sometimes
parents are super busy in the morning in
fact not sometimes probably most of the
time we yeah dare to say definitely have
a few ideas to kind of help get the kids
ready and help them step out in style
exactly so sometimes you know when you
are getting back in the swing of things
and you're rushing in the morning
getting ready for school cuz you hunt
you know used to waking up that early if
your son happens to sleep past the alarm
a great option instead of showering is
the Jack Black's all over body wipes mhm
one sheet is big enough for head-to-toe
and they smell really great too right
yeah and so these are a really good
option too if your kid is involved in
sports he does t-ball so if you just a
quick refresh in the morning or after
any sporting activity anything like that
and they're great to keep in the gym
locker for middle or high school boys
yes very good it's got the Eli stamp of
approval right and Todd Riley coward
towel drying help style hair exactly so
if you don't have time to shower in the
morning you obviously can't wash your
hair so you don't want to go to school
with Bed Head
so that's right so one product that I
really love to use in his hair is the
bumble and bumble invisible Oil primer
because it has UV protectant in it so
the extra sunscreen is really important
to me so I'll just do a couple little
spritzes in his hair in the morning
really really does
hm-hm do you like that smell - yes okay
once I get a couple of sprays in there I
might just kind of scrunch it you know
just to kind of refresh absorb any
excess oil that might have occurred
overnight here now so my favorite
product to use in his hair because
little boys are very active and you know
wild so I like to use the texture cream
foam Bumble and Bumble because it's a
strong enough whole from really from
bumble and bumble it's a really great
product to use because it's really great
but it has enough memory to it so in
case it gets messed up throughout the
day and we'll keep that same basic shape
so this is a really good low maintenance
haircut for me to have on his hair
because it's really short on the sides
and I like it a little bit of a tapered
cut so tapered means that it's shorter
on the ears in the neck line so that
ensures that the haircuts gonna last a
little bit longer it's not going to hit
the ears as fast as it grows out good
I'm glad and one other one other tip
that I like to use for parents so take
the guesswork out of where the part is I
like to go ahead and just etched the
part in it's called a hard part that's
actually cut into his hairline with the
trimmers so that way in the morning
you're not like right where do I partner
yeah where is it where is it it's
already right there oh that's great okay
and you have options for styling hair a
crew-cut and a high and tight what's the
difference so a crew-cut is something
similar to what Brad Pitt has it is
about a medium links on the sides you
could either have that one length going
all the way up or you could do it
tapered around the ears also and then
the front of the hairline is a little
bit longer than the back so that way you
can mess around with it and style it a
little bit so that's a good option for a
boys and men alike okay and and then did
we have one more picture to show yes
Ryan Reynolds has the high end tight
haircut that is a really tight haircut
it's like one usually one clip regard
all the way up it's not typically
tapered you can do that with a number
one
zero depending on how short and
low-maintenance you want and so that
Clippers actually brought all the way up
past the parietal Ridge on the hairline
and then the top is left a little bit
longer so you can mess around and style
it now for the older kids you have any
good ideas for them as far as when they
start to shave yeah so one tip that I
like to use is to go ahead and use a
safety razor whenever you're noticing
any peach fuzz or a couple of long hairs
around like the you know the chin or
anything like that and so I suggest
using a safety razor versus something
you could buy at the store because it
cuts the hair directly at the surface
it's gonna help prevent any excess you
know any razor bumps or anything like
that that tends to occur in the
beginning of shaving and also keep on
hand styptic powder or a styptic pencil
because you know when you're first
learning you're not that great so just
to help you know seal up any Nick's or
cuts that might occur so thank you so
much and thank you so much Eli for all
