Stuck in the MIDI with you.......

Image
Have you been feeling tired of your long hair that does nothing to you, and you end up tying it up most of the time? perhaps  it is time to consider a good chop! And there is no better time to do it than right now, not just because the temperatures are getting warmer and we are (hopefully) heading towards summer - but because the hottest length to have right now is the mid-length. Also known as the midi, for obvious reasons - the once limbo stage of in-between hair has been given the cool tag -  which also means if you are growing out that bob it is likely to be less painful at the moment. Loads of A-list celebrities have adopted the trend lately.... Let's start with someone who really does deserve the title of fashion Icon - Kate Moss Whatever this girl does all will pretty much follow, and when it comes to the tousled look she has got it down to an art form. Here she is smoldering in this David Yurman campaign with yes you guessed it - a Midi Cut. Th...

A proper French Twist

Image
We have had so many hairstyles through the years some with success....... others a bit less... but one hairstyle that has been with us for a very very long time is the French Twist... and it is getting a bit of a comeback! Somehow for me when I think of a French Twist or a French Roll as I tend to prefer calling it, I think: Audrey Hepburn Breakfast at Tiffany's - which in essence is actually a variant of it with a high bun.

Due to popular culture, we tend to attribute the style of the 1960s, but in reality the actual hairstyles has been with us much before that..... errm,...centuries before infact, since Ancient Greece as shown on this image of a Muse from a vase dating back to the 4th century B.C. But let's talk proper French Twist, how do you do that? To get a traditional French Roll one would need to brush their hair out fi...

Olaplex - the hair revolution is here!

Image
If you are colouring your hair you should be looking at Olaplex! - It really is as simple as that! Olaplex has been around in the U.S. for just over a year but it has only just hit the UK shores with just a handful of salons offering the service - but rest assured this is just going to be super huge! Olaplex first came to our attention thanks to Kim Kardashian,.... her super transformation from a dark Brunette to a Blonde baffled the lot of us, some because they thought it is insane, some because they thought it did not suit her, others because she was trying too hard!.... but what most hair stylists were thinking was: 'How does she still have hair?' - and the answer to that is Olaplex! So what is Olaplex? Well, the actual ingredient is a bit of a big mystery, though the speculation is that it is some sort of polymer that is activated with peroxide and coats the hair, but quite frankly I'm not gonna go all Sheldon Cooper on you for as long as the results a...
