The Two Minute Up-Do app, which is free to download now, introduces four easy to follow step by step videos each lasting two minutes long. The videos showcase beautiful Andrew Collinge up-dos from twisted chignons to stylish pleats, all of which are secured in place with only one pin. The viewer can rewind and pause the videos at will, to master the techniques taught by the master hairstylist.

The universal application is compatible with i-phone, i-touch and i-pad and also has the added benefit of providing the viewer with an interactive gallery of the Collinge family history of hairdressing, which is now over a century old.

During this slideshow Andrew will chat to you about some of his favourite long hairstyles that he has created over the years. An interactive Denman catalogue made up of stills, commentary and music featuring an extensive selection of individual brushes and styling tools is also included to help create the perfect up-do.

As well as learning four contemporary styles that are just right for all those nights out or special occasions, you will also be helping a great cause. Because Andrew Collinge is the patron of the UK charity campaign Design For Life, where he aims to raise £2million to transform the lives of those with learning difficulties.

Andrew commented ‘After many years of involvement I have seen first hand how the support provided by the Self Unlimited charity can really make a positive difference to the quality of life for some of the most disadvantaged people in our society. The app will help raise valuable funds to support these people now and in the future.’
