The Denman College Star competition is now in its third year and attracts hundreds of entries from colleges and academies up and down the UK.

What you need to know…

How to win: Just upload images of the front, sides and back of one blow-dry look. For full entry requirements and T&C’s, please go to www.denmanbrush.com/pages/collegestar.

“Denman is so proud to give the UK College and student community this opportunity. The number of entries last year was staggering, so a big thank you goes to the hardworking college tutors for encouraging their students to enter. Blow-dry skills can transform a regular style into something exceptional and College Star is our way of giving students the incentive to strive for greatness. We can’t wait to see what they create!”

Kevin McNamee, Denman CEO
