Get Crazy...

Hey! And how's your hair today? Sorry I haven't posted in a whole week but I've been so busy and finally the weather in England has cranked up a couple notches and it's quite hot up here. Yesterday I went to Hyde Park, to see if there are any people with amazing styles... you know I'm on it! Anyway, I finally got Microsoft Cloud so I can upload all my pics and music and stuff and not have to buy loads of SD cards :)

Anyway, so back to Hyde Park. I went there on a lovely hot day, my hay-fever didn't give me any trouble at all, there were loads of people and it was generally great. But the one thing I noticed was the lack of absolutely 'whaaahoooo look at me!!!!' styles and it made me quite disappointed. So I got 8 styles - some crazy, some quirky, and most definitely LOUD.

If anyone tries one of these styles, send me your picture and I will put them up in my next post as the Royalties Of Standing Out. I believe it's so important to be individual and not follow the crowd. If you love hairstyles like these, then you carry on and go even more crazy with your imagination!

MOSAS!!!

Hello and how's your hair today? I've got some great news... I've decided to do hair tutorials! The most amazing thing about them though? They're only going to be thirty seconds long :) which means it's going to be fast and effective and you won't get bored. I've already made a promotional video for you to watch x

Also, I've decided to do PRIZE GIVE-AWAYS!!!!! Yes. More information on my next post which will be arriving in the next 20 minutes...

So yeah. Hold on to your hats! (or hair)

Fish Braids Are Real Pretty...

Hello and how's your hair today? I've had a few private thoughts, and it seems that right now, the style that's raging is the fish braid. So I've decided to take some styles off my site and show them to you for some hair inspiration, with quite a few selections of different kinds of fish braids. Enjoy!

(really cute, just a neat ponytail)

(nice juicy one)

(if your hair doesn’t go sleek like this lucky girl, then just gel your hair, or get some wet look cream)

(I love her eyes!)

(hair to see, but her braided headband is a fish braid)

(I know it looks a bit ridiculous, but it kinda looks nice)

Anyway, I sorry for not posting in a while, but I've been really busy and my Dad took us out to London as a surprise so I've been absolutely knackered. I have tried the argan oil and boy, that stuff is like liquid gold. It works like a dream on my frizzy hair and protects my hair from straighteners. I would strongly advise you to get this stuff if you have frizzy hair - but remember, everything in moderation - you don't want greasy hair!

MOSAS!!!

Oils are actually good for you...

Hello everyone and how's your hair today? I love my hair right now, and I'm looking forward to using my argan oil. I know, I know, how can I not have used it yet, but seriously? I've just been so busy and haven't had the time to sit down and document my findings so I can actually report to you guys properly. I am planning on washing my hair tomorrow, and using the oil so I'm excited to see what my findings shall be!

So, today's post is on oils. Even though our hair does produce it's own oil, it sometimes needs a little... 'oomph'. The oil that our hair produces is more like a grease, then an oil, and doesn't really do much for us except make us look dirty. Oiling our hair, even if it's just a tiny few drops every two to four days, will make our scalps healthier, will train our hair to get greasy slower, and gives our hair a beautiful shine. I have a collection of oils which are fabulous for oil your hair, and making it healthy - not greasy.

Oils also dry damaged hair, and can be used whilst washing hair, to de-tangle, whilst blow drying to give a healthy shiny feel, or even when your hair is done to de-frizz. Here are my 4 favourite top oils :)


L'Oreal Professionnel Mythic Oil


It's made from avocado and grape seed oil, and smells heavenly. (I actually went into House of Fraser and smelt it.) It works on all hair types, is good for damp or dry hair, and the price isn't bad either...

Gielly Green

It contains quite a lot of different oils - argan, sage and linseed, and also has vitamin C and E. It works quite well on wet hair too, but is best on dry hair, or as you're blow drying. The oil is light, but is quite heavy compared to others I've 'investigated' and if you have thin hair, it's best not to go there.

Shu Uemura - Nourishing Protective Oil

This product is great because it's light, and protects from UV, heat and combats frizz. It locks in moisture and hydrates your hair as it contains camellia oil, and is good for dry scalps too.

Argan Oil

Anyone who regularly reads my blog, would most definitely know that this baby was going to come up ;) I personally believe that the Moroccan Argan Oil is one of the, if not - the - best oil product out there. As I said earlier, I cannot wait to try mine out, so I promise I'll get back to you on it. It's perfect for thinner haired people because it's light, and naturally contains vitamins and UV protection so it's perfect for beaches (even though you should still get special hair protection) and it doesn't leave them flat or greasy but bouncy and elasticated! 

I'm thinking of doing my first prize give away, probably be some argan oil... I'll think about it :) If you have dry scalp problems, or have dry, broken hair, don't delay! You must get some hair oil and make your hair glow. Your hair won't be unappreciative - trust me ;)

Hairbrushes are VIP...

Hello, and how's your hair today? Today's topic is hairbrushes! Hairbrushes are honestly one of the most important ans simple tools for beautiful hair. There is a certain myth that says 'a girl must brush her hair 100 times a day...' - obviously we now know that actually brushing your hair too often can actually damage and break your hair because of friction. However that shouldn't stop you from brushing your tresses, and making them silky smooth. I've done my research and found out about different brushes and what works best for different types of hair.

Round Hair Brush

These brushes are generally for people with thinner hair, as they provide curls and volume. If you are back combing too, these brushes are the best as they create volume without knotting your hair too much. There are the plastic ones with the little tiny balls on top, and there are the fibre-y looking ones. The fibre ones are better for people with thin hair as they are more gentle, and tend to brush smoother so your hair is left looking more bouncy and soft.

Paddle Hair Brush



If you want smooth flat long hair, as opposed to hair with plenty of volume, then the paddle brush is for you. It's perfect if you want your hair to be long, straight, and sleek and smooth. Obviously you can get the ones with the no, or little balls on top, but the ones without balls aren't as gentle on your scalp and the ones with balls are harder to clean.

(I just love this brush! I'm ordering off Amazon!)

Half-Radial Hairbrush

I'd never knew what the name was for this one till I did my search, and it's one we all know. They are perfect for creating flicks at the end of your hair, and combing knotty hair. This brush is also perfect if you have thick hair because it's strong enough to take your tresses on, but also gives it a beautiful wavy texture as it doesn't smooth your hair right down. (Also a good brush for when you wake up in the morning.) 

Military Hairbrush

The name basically gives the description - if you want the slicked back, polished off look, then this is the brush for you. Also if you have extreme think hair like an afro and you want to get it smoothed right down with a bit of gel, then this brush is for you. 

Electric Brushes

I have a brush that has a built in flow of hot air, and you wrap your hair around it. You hold it there for a few seconds then press this button which allows the brush to spin, creating a voluminous effect and you get curls too without having to use a wand or high heat. I don't have a picture, but I'll see if I can find one, or take a picture of mine. Electric brushes are good because they also give your hair a fluffy light texture, but as always too much heat isn't good for your hair. 

Anyway, so  I got my hair trimmed and my eyebrows threaded, and it hurt like heck! It all paid off though because now my brows are beautifully shaped and my hair has no split ends which means it can now grow healthier! That gives me an idea for a post... hmmm...

HOT HOT HOT

Hello everyone, and how's your hair today? Sorry I haven't posted in a while as I had prom and I came home quite late, and I've been exhausted. What hairstyle I did? This one ;) The night was great and is lovely to see all my girls dressed up and looking pretty. We danced for ages and had the best night ever and of course the heels came off, (I'm a lightweight) but I wanted to enjoy the last time I might see all my friends together :)

I have great news! I have found some ARGAN OIL!!!!! I am buying a bottle from Superdrug today, and I shall keep you posted on the results. If you haven't heard of argan oil, read this post and it will tell you all about it. I also ordered some clothes and books off Amazon for sixth form, and I even got a new phone case to match my headphones :) Now, today's topic is on HOT TOOLS ;) - anything that needs plugging in and heats up - you name it!

Straighteners
I believe that straighteners are God's gift to the female race. Without straighteners, many of would be a frizzy mess. Now don't get me wrong, many people would kill for natural curls, but sometimes you need a break from being a mop, and have beautiful, sleek, pin-straight hair. There are many types of straighteners - ones for fringes/bangs, ceramic, wet to dry - but which ones work best for you? Ceramic straighteners are generally better to buy especially if your hair is thick. The thin, fashionable straighteners are cool and sleek looking, but larger ceramic ones are quicker to use as they cover a wider range of hair, and so you don't burn your hair so much. Titanium plates are also very good because they are heat up quickly and you tend to find that hair salon's use them.

REMEMBER - NEVER STRAIGHTEN YOUR HAIR EVERYDAY. 


That is like hair suicide. Seriously.


Crimping
You can get large or skinny ones, crimping is great for people who have thin hair, and want to add a little volume. Crimping also adds texture to your hair, and makes pretty patterns, but like straightening, you shouldn't do it everyday. To add volume to your luscious locks, crimping at the roots of your hair makes your style so much bigger, and you don't have to back comb, so your hair doesn't get knotty. Also, crimping straight hair in random places, gives a boho kind of look, and just looks different and unique.

Hair dryers
What we do without these babes? Hair dryers are a quick solution to a temporary problem. Also, blow drying your hair allows you to add any oils and such (like argan oil) and makes it soft. There are two different types of dryers - ones with the comb and ones with no comb. I find using dryers that have the comb attachment easier to use because you don't have to comb at the same time while drying. Also, you tend not to miss any areas when blow drying, and although natural drying is... natural, we are sometimes in a hurry, and natural drying in winter is not good for your health (you loose body heat) and can also damage and break your hair.

Tongs
Hair tongs are very useful, in that they curl you hair to perfection. You can have the curling wand, which is harder to use because you have to hold the end of your hair and could burn yourself (which I have done many a time). The actual tongs, are the ones with the little flap, which holds the hair down for you, and they are also generally better than curling with straighteners because they aren't as hot.

If you have any suggestions, comments or requests for posts, just comment or contact me! Everyone needs help sometimes ;) and my blog is to help other people with their hair - so just ask if you want me to research something.

MOSAS!

p.s - I'm going to Jamaica in 4 weeks and a day! Don't worry, I can still post from there :)

English Prom...

Hello, and how's your hair today? I have some cool news that will interest every girl - PROM. Yes, here in England, we have the occasional prom, to mark the end of our year 11 (sophomore equivalent) or end of sixth form, year 13, (senior equivalent). This is a very exciting time,and obviously my special field will be... hairstyles! And I have just 5 perfect ideas for styles for prom for all the prom girlies! (a lot of 'for's there).

Up do's

Up do's are probably the best style if you're going for the just the elegant look. They are made to more or less regal by how messy it is, or by how much hair you drop down from the up do.

Long styles

If you have long hair, flaunt it! There are so many styles you can do with long hair, especially elegant ones for prom. You can put pretty flowers or other accessories in your hair, or even put a back quiff in. Have your hair crimped, waved, or pin straight.

Braid Styles

Now I wouldn't recommend, but if you're looking to have the most unique and different style, and you can pull it off, then a complex braid would be perfect for you. Must be done absolutely neatly, as while messy braid styles are nice, they aren't nice for prom. 

Ponytail Styles

Ponytails aren't also that good for prom, but if it's done with your own hair wrapped around it, then it can look very elegant. Also, must be curly or crimped or something, not just pin straight because it won't look elegant enough, but if you can pull off the look, then I applaud you :)

(EDIT)

I've decided to make extend this post since it was so popular. Obviously Americans have a lot more proms and parties than we Brits do, so I've added some more pictures and ideas!

Enjoy these! Some of these are really hard, so have a couple of practices first before you use for your big day. Get someone to help you or try it out on your friends head first :)

I'm back... with headbands!!!

Hello and how's your hair today? I apologise for not posting in 2 days I've very busy and very tired. So today, you guys get an 2 posts today :) Oh, and did anyone watch the tennis? Andy Murray might actually have a chance! Since Nadal is out, Murray could make it to the finals this year, and maybe, just maybe England may have a chance in the sports world this season since we failed at football.

So, I've done my homework again, and have researched in headbands. Yes, these little beauties can make or break us - choosing the right headband is crucial - or wearing one at all. You have to know when to wear a headband, or what style goes with a particular one. Now, there are two different types - headbands, and head-wraps, so I'll guide you through them.

Double Braided Headband

This is the new trend of headbands. Simple to use, and you can push them back, or split them as far apart as you want.  Best used for the bun hair styles, I have a seriously good messy bun that can go with this. Good for casual outings and hanging out :)

Fabric Head-wrap

 I absolutely love this head-wrap, it's so pretty and kinda indie. Perfect for occasions to parties, and not so casual outings, like a date...

Twisted Headband

This is such a simple headband, which is perfect for simple styles. If you have your hair down, this is perfect for it. This band can go with almost any style, and any occasion, especially formal events.


Braided Rope Headband

For all the true indie girls out there, don't worry I see you and I like your style. This headband has the 'Boho' look, and is perfect for my hipster girls. Can be worn really to any occasion, and is great if you have a second piercing in the top part of your ear, as you can't wear long earrings with this one.

If your hairstyle is even in the slightest complicated, then headbands are a no go. They can be too much and overcrowd and spoil your style. Headbands are really just a last resort, and should be used as sparingly as possible (I sound like a doctor). You don't want people to think that you rely on headbands to spice up your hair!


Great news, I've got some hairstyles coming for MOSAS this week, so look out for them! Check out my site  HERE :)
