The style icon challenge

Do you have a “style”? Have you had the same haircut or facial hair style since you were 18? If you never change your look then maybe it’s time you allowed yourself to have a style shake up. Braun have chosen five iconic looks from the last 100 years and want to challenge you (or your partner) to recreate one of them in the style icon challenge.

100 Years of Style

The Looks

1. The Soul Patch

Cast your mind back to the world of Jazz and Rhythm and Blues. The Soul Patch goatee was sported by musical Gods from the black community. Use your Braun shaver to create clean lines and a well-trimmed patch under your chin.

2. Au Naturel

The 70s were a time of peace, love and hair. Go au naturel and use your Braun products to trim, shave or simply grow as nature intended.

3. The Mo-hawk

The punk scene rejected the prim and proper years that had come before it by creating out-there looks that caught the eye. Use the Braun hair trimmer to create short sides while you spike the top as high as it’ll go.

4. The chevron moustache

Has a cooler man than Freddie Mercury ever lived? We’re not sure. But you can borrow some of his cool by recreating his trademark chevron moustache. You are the champion!

5. The flat top

The flat top was one of the defining styles of the 90s hip hop scene. Use your hair trimmer to create the perfect skin fade and flat top.
