You may remember a previous guest from season 7, the wonderful Adam Hurly, who is a journalist and the man behind the ‘Blue Print’ channel. He mentioned a U.S. grooming brand that I didn’t know called Brightside and then kindly connected us. Brightside have now launched in the UK and EU, so I took the opportunity to chat to co-founder Chris Hjerling about the ethos behind the brand, the influence of his coastal location in San Diego, California and what’s next for Brightside (hint, it may include fragrance and more body products!)Chris was a fascinating guest, with real insight into the joys and the challenges of developing a brand from scratch. Along with his co-founder Landon, they have created men’s hair products that have been lauded by GQ (as well Adam Hurly!) and are all about elevating personal care and styling using clean, premium ingredients. The products are high performance, but low-maintenance - now that’s something we can all get behind…Chris mentioned the following products during our conversation:Acure - Facial Scrub<a href="https://acure.com/products/brightening-facial-scrub" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://acure.com/products/brightening-facial-scrub</a>Wahl - Beard Trimmer<a href="https://www.wahl.co.uk/product-category/personal-care/mens-grooming/beard-trimmers-mens-grooming/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.wahl.co.uk/product-category/personal-care/mens-grooming/beard-trimmers-mens-grooming/</a>Brightside - Hair products<a href="https://brightsidestyle.com/collections/all" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://brightsidestyle.com/collections/all</a>Kiehls - Facial Cleanser<a href="https://www.spacenk.com/uk/skincare/cleansers/cleanser/ultra-facial-cleanser-MUK200003314.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.spacenk.com/uk/skincare/cleansers/cleanser/ultra-facial-cleanser-MUK200003314.html</a>Salt & Stone - Body Mist<a href="https://www.saltandstone.com/en-gb/products/body-mist?variant=45052090876154" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.saltandstone.com/en-gb/products/body-mist?variant=45052090876154</a>You can find Brightside on IG here:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/brightside.style" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/brightside.style</a>Online at:&nbsp;<a href="https://brightsidestyle.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://brightsidestyle.com/</a>- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -You can ‘tip’ me via the link below.
