7 Stages Your Hair Goes Through On a Night Out


Everybody loves a killer hairstyle on a night out, they picture that scene from Mean Girls where they are strutting through the corridor looking hot as .....  But the truth is cute hair, club music and alcohol really don't mix well together. So here are the 7 stages your hair goes through on a night out: 

1.  The Fresh Do 


You've mastered the hair donut (As best you can) and you're feeling confident, sassy and ready to take on the night. Also you've put in about a million pins so it will FOR SURE stay in place, right? 

2. The Tipsy: "this will make it even better" 


This stage usually happens before you even step foot out of the door and you've had one to many pre drinks. After you've seen all your friends hairstyles and you feel that yours just needs that little bit extra. 

3. The Disaster 


When your jam comes on in the club your hair is the last thing on your mind, let the head banging commence and the hair fall out. Don't even bother trying to find your pins. 


4. The "this looks just as good" 


Screw hair donuts anyway I don't need them, the high pony is so underrated I can own this hairstyle. Little do you know you actually look like your off to school. 

5. The Excepting Your Fate


It's just all gotta come out, I'm never going to do my hair for a night out again its just such a waste of time. All I wanted to do was just look cute FOR ONCE.

6. The Drunk Bathroom Play Around 


It needs some more volume, guys love the sexy just got out of bed look! Let me just scratch my head back and forth and shake it around a bit, I don't care if I look crazy JUST MAKE ME BEAUTIFUL.

7. The F#%K It 


I can't even be bothered with you anymore, me and you are over hair this is it, first thing tomorrow I'm chopping you off and there NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT!


How does your hair treat you on nights out? xx

New Hair New Me

 I feel like hair is more than just something to keep your head warm or make you look nicer, it represents your personality and how you want people to portray you. After a lifestyle change or traumatic event people always seem to change the hair. 

I've never been a huge fan of getting a dramatic cut, I cut my hair short once and the hairdresser made it look like a mullet! Since then I have be terrified to have anything more than just a trim done to my hair. But it's been about 3 years and I was sick of having my long hair get tangled in the wind and having no control over what it's doing. So I cut it off, and not just a little....ALOT. 


Introducing my new hair: 


It's short, it's choppy and I'm absolutely in love with it! I'm usually one of those girls who run out the salon crying if the tiniest amount gets taken from me, but this time I walked out with a smile and a skip in my step. Not only is my hair gone but so are all the worries and stresses it came with, can people see my spilt ends? do I look mousey? how can everyone style their hair so well? These questions are all gone because now I feel confident, i have a look that i've been contemplating since i started university and I honestly feel like a new me. So yes I agree with the saying "New Hair, New ME" because now I'm going to be more daring with my style choice, I ripped the bandage off and now I'm healed!

After:

So if you're thinking about having a dramatic change, to your hair or your life, just go for it! you gotta think, what's the worst that could happen? xx

How To Get Easy Wavy Volumized Hair



 I'm one of those girls who has to suffer with naturally straight hair, especially in winter. Although it's some peoples dream to have straight hair, it does get boring after a while. I also can't really be bothered spending hours curling, teasing and putting all sorts of chemicals in my hair to make it do something. But I have now discovered a new hair routine that only needs 3 tools, 2 brushes and a hair dryer!

 I decided to try out Aussie shampoo and conditioner because not only have I heard great things about the company but also because they have so many unique treatments for all types of hair (trust me, they work wonders!)  I picked up the "Luscious Long Conditioner" as I have been having trouble keeping the ends of my hair moist and smooth, so a deep condition will do them some good. I also got the "Aussome Volume Shampoo" a shampoo that comes with cheesy jokes, what more could you want? These products were wonderful to use in the shower, they smell delicious and lather up very well. 




Once finished in the shower towel dry your hair and begin to blow dry the ends before gathering your  tools (A brushs and hair dryer). First brush out all the knots and tangles out your hair using just your normal hair brush. Then with a small curling brush, brush down the front and back of your hair making sure you puff out your damp hair and add a little volume.


Then twist handfuls of your hair around the brush and begin drying it in place, continue to do this all over your hair until its (almost) completely dry. This helps your hair to collect air which gives you a fuller, wavy and volumized look.




Once your hair is dry give it a last shake and push with your hands and a once over with the curling brush to make sure its the way you want it, before applying hair spray to make sure your hair stays volumized and beautiful all day. 





AND VUALA!
Your hair will look naturally wavy and a whole lot thicker to give you the luscious hair you've always dreamed of, without all the hassle of going to a salon or using heated tools!
