All things Mexico - What hair?

Anyone out there with a slight eye for fashion would by now have realized that all that aztec and peruvian stuff has gone a little bit further up on the global map..... and has moved to Mexico.

Yes, everything Mexican is taking the place of our south american designs...from pretty embroidered dresses for the girls, to funky Mexican skulls inspired by dias de los muertos (day of the dead) for the boys.....and the girls too really!


The Jewellery too is taking in the fiesta vibe - it's gonna be chunky funky - and most absolutely BRIGHT!!


But with all this trend... how are we going to emulate that sexy senorita look without going horribly Ugly Betty?

Of course the style can be paired up with boho waves.


However if you really want to go for the whole Mexico vibe, why not look at probably the most iconic of Mexican women of all time - Frida Kahlo.


The Mexican artist was born on July 6th 1907 in Coyocan, a suburb in Mexico City. She is considered to be one of Mexico's greatest artist, and started painting after a severe injury during a near fatal bus accident. 
Admired by many for her strength and resilience the Surrealist artist's look -  brave yet elegant is also a strong symbol of feminism.

Keep the hair simple with the braids, or dress it all up - grab one of the many amazing head-pieces available out there or get creative with fresh flowers and pieces of material braided into the hair!

For more style references take a look at the movie 'Frida', where Kahlo is played by Penelope Cruz.

Why Olaplex is your go-to range for healthy hair.

Olaplex has been with us for a number of years now. At Hair Colour Studio we first came across Olaplex after seeing Kim Kardashian going blonde from her dark mane. How did she do it? We thought. The answer was Olaplex. Admittedly it took some 7 sessions of bleaching alternated with Olaplex treatments - yes it is not for the faint hearted and would also cost a bomb - and ideally staggered over a few months rather than days to slowly go lighter. However this does not take away from the fact that this was a game changer! But what is the science behind Olaplex? Olaplex was developed by Dr. Eric Pressly and Dr. Craig Hawker, two of the world's leading chemists. They invented a single ingredient chemistry that is free of silicones and oils. Olaplex links broken bonds in the hair before, during and after chemical services. Here they are explaining for all you Hair Geeks out there (courtesy of Olaplex.com) (If the video does not load hit this link: https://haircolours

The Hottest footballers of World Cup 2018

Image
So where do we even start with this! It's not too difficult to like (lust) a footballer, their fitness is pretty much at peak...they tend to dress well and be well groomed...  and yes  they do not always quite get it right in the hair department... but really, do we care? (no need to answer that!) So here is a round up of the hottest at this year's World Cup final.... Starting with a portuguese man... ... alot of people would expect Cristiano Ronaldo, but during the very first Portugal match against Spain the portuguese no.7 was very much over-shadowed by this cute (and younger version) ... Andre Silva The Portuguese team left pretty early, to catch more of Andre you will need to start watching Italy's serieA tournament where he plays for AC Milan. Yann Sommer If you would have thought tennis player Rafael Nadal somehow ended up in the Swiss post you would be totally excused, the look-alike is Swiss goalie Yann Sommer.. And apart from bein

12 best and worst dressed at Oscars 2017

Oscars 2017 - WOW! Sadly we will probably remember it mostly for totally the wrong reasons - or should I say reason. Let's face it - getting it wrong while presenting the award for best picture is a pretty monumental fail, but the whole idea that the wrong envelope (which was Emma Stone's winning Best actress) at such a huge event was given to the oresenters is even more dumbfounding! Poor Warren Beatty one would think,.... but actually he just passed the buck and gave it to Faye Dunaway - poor Faye! My heart does go to the whole cast and crew of La La Land that actually got to the stage to be told: 'Oh, sorry guys actually you did not win!'  - but you can only applaud La La Land producer Jordan Horowitz  (also part of the board) to stand up and making it right - pointing out the competing motion picture's win. On a personal level I did like both films, though I did prefer La La Land , for as much as Moonlight brings up very valid social issues
