College Star – Denman’s Big Blowout Competition launched in 2024 and attracted an amazing response of over 500 entries from hairdressing students up and down the UK. The simple online-only competition asks students to upload their details and four images of their very best blow dry for the chance to win £1,000 cash. Last year the winner was Yasmin Ainsley of East Durham College who took home the big prize.
Discussing the competition, Denman CEO Kevin McNamee said: “We were absolutely overwhelmed with the response last year and were so grateful to all the amazing college tutors who encouraged their students to get involved. Brilliant blow dry skills are essential for young professionals and we wanted to create a competition that inspired and celebrated students as they master those skills. Last year’s entries set the bar high, so we are really looking forward to seeing 2025’s entries. Good luck everyone!”
