The New Hair Do: A Complete Re-Style

Good morning guys! So as you're reading this I will be on my flight to Dublin but wanted to make sure I had something for you all to read!

So at the weekend, I did something I've been contemplating for quite a while and if you've seen my Instagram and Twitter feed you will already know, yep I got my hair cut. However I didn't get just a little bit chopped off, I had around 3 inches taken off. To some of you horse mane haired ladies that might be nothing but for it was a huge change. Due to previous hair mishaps and lots of bleaching in the past I think my hair was just ready for a chop. No matter how much I avoided applying heat and product to my hair, the ends were just split and frizzy - not a great look. So when I went to the hair salon at the weekend, I wasn't scared, I just told them to do it!

The final result? I love it! This is the perfect length hair for me, it's perfectly manageable and not so long that I don't know what to do with it. In fact, having it cut this length has inspired me, if anything to actually make an effort with my hair. Before it was just too long and thick, it used to get ridiculously knotty and well I just despised it but was too scared to go for the plunge. I am in love with my new look and feel it compliments my features so much better. So if you're toying with the idea of having a complete re-style, my advice would be - just do it! It's only hair at the end of the day and if you don't like it, it will always grow back!

What's the biggest re-style you've ever had?

Product Review: Backcomb In A Bottle

                                           

Ever since I've been interested in fashion, beauty and wearing make up, all I have ever known is a life led by shockingly flat and deflated hair. Why? Why was I born with long thick hair that has absolutely no volume? And the thing is - no matter how much hair spray I use or how much I back comb my hair to death, I have never once been able to achieve a sleek look in which my hair stays in place the whole night! (Just thank your self that you aren't me!)

Anyways, I've tried every kind of hairspray, salt spray and volume spray you can think of and yet still...NOTHING.

I've been a fan of the Umberto Giannini range for a while now, especially this grungey collection which is packaged in a matte black cylinder with a silver lid that features a fashion illustration on the bottle. So after wandering past this little beauty in Boots for months on end I finally gave in to my tight fisted ways and decide to purchase the 'Backcomb In A Bottle'.

I mean great, what could be better than a spray that backcombs your hair for you without having to torture your hair with a comb and tonnes of hairspray?! 

So without babbling on anymore, without no further do, here is the verdict:

*It DOES give your hair that extra poof that you need.

*The packaging is LFW worthy (world class!).

*I wouldn't say it completely backcombs your hair for you because that is impossible.

*& It keeps your hair in place which is great

Tip: don't spray too close to your hair or it will go rock solid and look unclean - as I found out when I did it the other week. 

In other words: go grab one for yourself! 

Hairrrrrlp me!

Don't know about anyone else but I'm so done with my hair. I

honestly don't know what to do with it anymore, I get bored ever so easily - therefore I decided to cut this feature out from Marie Claire to inspire me. I feel like my hair is the same every day. Has anyone got any suggestions on different up do's etc? I'd be very grateful. Thanks my lovely's!

the before and after shot.

Before                                                               After

Ok, so its not that clear on my 'before' photo how bright my hair actually was, but if you look on my display picture its a berry red colour. Anyway, as I posted previously - I'd been contemplating for a while whether to dye my hair brown as the berry red was far too much hassle. With me previously being a platinum blonde, I found the red faded extremely quickly and looked a little tacky after a while. I really fancied the ombre look (brown hair fading into honey blonde) but in order for the shock factor to not be too much to handle I decided upon going brown and then adding the blonde once I've gotten used to this colour. So the 'after' shot shows the new colour of my hair. When I put the dye on I was instantly regretting it, thinking that with me being so pale that the colour would wash me out. However, once the process was complete, I was pleasantly suprised with the outcome. Although, I'm still not entirely sure what I think to it.

Comments/Opinions/Criticisms anyone, please? :-) xo

Change is good, right?

So, yesterday morning I woke up and thought to myself - I'm bored of my hair! Up until February this year I had been a platinum blonde (and even lilac at one point!!!!!!!), looking at my hair now though that's pretty hard to believe. Its currently a 'berry red' colour, however the lighting on this photo doesn't do it much justice. It doesn't look particularly red, but trust me it is. Anyway - I'm fancying a change and really think I should just take the plunge rather than umm'ing and aaah'ing about it. I mean, its not like I've never drastically changed my hairstyle before, I think I'm just stuck in a rut. So I was thinking of going like a chocolate brown colour, seeing how I adjust to that and then if I like it, adding some honey blonde to the ends to get that 'ombre' look. The good thing about the ombre style is that its low maintainance and looks more natural.

What do you think pretty people?!?! Help!
