David who? YouTube stars now inspire more male hair trends than Beckham (including the bizarre 'Elephant's Trunk' and the supersized quiff)
Andy Samuels, a friend of One Direction's Liam Payne, has also proved a source of inspiration
Samuels specialises in easy, step by step tutorials that explain how to get his signature quiff
But as Samuels' intense concentration reveals, getting the supersized quiff right isn't always easy
Jim Chapman is another YouTube star and is seen here explaining how to get Harry Styles' preppy look
Chapman is one of Youtube's most groomed vloggers and includes spray tans in his repertoire
Andy
Samuels is another star who has turned his YouTube account (and close
friendship with One Direction's Liam Payne) into a business.
Like
James, Samuels is a fan of the oversized quiff and, along with amassing
almost one million followers on Twitter, has seen his YouTube tutorial
on achieving the look go viral with 10,000 views to date.
Another
popular YouTuber is Jim Chapman, who along with over two million
YouTube subscribers, is the boyfriend of fellow social media star Tanya
Burr.
He
specialises in quirky videos focused on lifestyle trends but also keeps
his followers abreast of essential style tips such as how to dress like
One Direction star Harry Styles.
Unlike
James, Chapman doesn't confine himself to hair and indulges in
everything from spray tans to armpit waxing and even the odd bit of
make-up.
But
Chapman has competition in the shape of 20-year-old Alfie Deyes, aka
Zoella's preppily-dressed other half, who has spawned a generation of
copycats.
Deyes is the wholesome (and rather well groomed) face behind the PointlessBlog, a Youtube vlog that documents his daily doings.
This vlog about Chapman getting his armpits waxed was especially popular and got more than a million views
Chapman is dating fellow vlogger Tanya Burr and sometimes allows her to do his make-up (pictured)
Alfie Deyes' preppy look and carefully spiked hair has spawned a legion of imitators
Deyes is one of the most popular of all the vloggers and boasts an incredible three million subscribers
The
PointlessBlog celebrated its fifth anniversary in July 2014 and
#5YearsOfPointlessBlog trended worldwide number #1 for 9.5 hours.
As
a result, Deyes' casual preppy look and carefully spiked hair has
spawned a legion of imitators and is now the dominant look among teens.
Although
he doesn't give style advice, his army of female fans have proved quite
the inspiration for teens in search of a girlfriend.
And
Deyes seems to enjoy all the attention he gets too. 'I love it,' he
says of being mobbed on the street by lustful ladies. 'I just double the
amount of time I would previously have allowed for the trip.'
So successful is Deyes, he has been able to persuade stars such Ariana Grande to appear in his videos
Like Chapman, Deyes boasts a successful other half in the shape of fellow vlogger, Zoella (left)
