What's Hot on Top for Men

Although they won't admit to it but men do spend a lot of time on their hair. Gels, sprays and loads wax! Some like it scruffy and others maybe go for the neat and slick look but all in all, it has become a trend.

Today we are going to take a look into some of the looks that are rocking the heads of many men for 2013.

The clean sides with the gelled 'defying gravity' look in the middle has definitely gone viral with men and we have to admit, it gives a very clean yet bad boy look.

The scruffy 'all over the place' look is also something we see quite often. It may look like they hoped on to the street right out of bed, but this look does take some effort.

Men like hair and for some, the more the merrier. This look is hot and many men do enjoy it. It can be defined as semi-messy?

I call this 'the bump'. This being because it's there but just not there yet. Gelling up the front and giving it a lift. A very popular look these days. 

The sleek sides but a clean comb. Not many can pull this off but that does not mean we don't see a fair share of them. A good boy look we would say. 

Again with the sides but this time with a curled 'bush' to shape things up. Very trendy. 

Spike it up! A little wax definitely gives men that sharp and sexy look. Clean and sexy.

To sum it up, we all know that women are not the only people that enjoy playing around with their hair. If your a guy and your not sure what to do with your hair, feel free to try any of these and welcome yourself to the trends of 2013.

Throwback To The Present (Part Five): Gwiyomi.

How can we not cover about this. To some of the people, it is the most annoying song or gesture ever. But  for some, (especially guys) it was the cutest thing ever. Whatever it is, we all can agree that in 10 years time, we would look back and tell ourselves that: "Is that really what we have been through?".

Let us get back to the origin of the song and how it became a instant hit.

The Gwiyomi song is a single released by a South Korean artist Hari on February 18, 2013. Then, the hand gestures are actually inspired by a South Korean rapper named Jung Ilhoon from the boy group, BtoB. The video became viral after Hari is seen performing her song and making the gestures at the same time. It has then inspired many of the people, all over the world, to upload their version of the song and gestures.

This is Hari doing the "Gwiyomi".

And here is Jung, doing the "Gwiyomi" as well.


No matter what, there will always be one person who just want to see the world burn. This comes in a parody of "Gwiyomi". Just a friendly reminder, do not watch while eating.

I.can't.breathe LOL

Disgusting but well, entertaining.

This has been a big part in 2013. How can we ever forget about this. Oh dear...
