Loose Boho Curls Hair Tutorial

I love the boho chic look for springtime, there’s just something so pretty and feminine about a head full of loose, natural looking curls.

In this tutorial I show you how I achieve this look using the Irresistible Me Saphire 8 in 1 curling wand. As the name suggests, it comes with eight detachable wands, which is great for achieving all different types of curls. In order to achieve this look I used a wand that is tapered to provide a slightly wavy curl.

I&K Clip in Ponytail - Review

If you’re a regular reader of my blog, you may be aware that although I have naturally long hair I do sometimes like to add a bit of extra volume and body when it comes to special occasions. You may have read my previous post all about my I&K clip in hair extensions, well this time it’s all about the ponytail. I’ve recently been enjoying the *I&K Clip in Ponytail from hairtrade.com. I like to let my hair dry naturally to avoid heat damage and this hair piece comes in handy when I fancy a straight, voluminous up do. I just put my hair into a bun and clip this bad boy straight onto it. Easy peasy with no tedious styling or a split end in sight.

This piece is made of synthetic hair which means that I can’t style it myself as I can with my other extensions which are made of human hair, but that’s ok as it looks really pretty as it is.

If you’d like to pick one of these up for yourself or indeed any other hair piece from hairtrade.com, you can use the discount code HTGPN at the checkout to receive 5% off your order.

How To: Big, Bouncy Curls Using Rollers

This week on my YouTube Channel I show you how to achieve big, bouncy, voluminous curls using rollers. This is my go to look when I want to go the extra mile with my hair, either for a night out or when I just feel like adding a bit of oomph!

I like to use rollers as opposed to a curling wand as they have the added bonus of creating volume while also being kinder to my locks, I try to avoid heat damage at all costs, aint nobody got time for split ends!

Review: Schwarzkopf got2b Beach Matt Mermaid Look Texturising Salt Spray

 

I love a texturising spray to give my hair a bit of body, so when I saw this beach matt salt spray by Schwarzkopf that happens to be advertised as having the ability to give you a ‘mermaid look’, well that was me sold – who doesn’t want hair like a mermaid right?! I know I certainly do!

The first time I used this was while my hair was still wet and with it being a salt spray, it made my hair do exactly what it does at the beach, that being it went extremely curly and big. While this isn’t a bad look it isn’t the one I tend to go for, I prefer a natural wave with some texture, so I decided to try this on my hair after it had air dried and that was the exact outcome that I received. My hair is naturally curly but when left to air dry without scrunching or using any product it ends up nice and wavy. I tend not to use mousse as it accentuates my curls but in not using any product I find my hair can be a bit fly away and well, slightly fluffy (if that makes sense?!). What I love about this spray is that it gives my hair texture and a bit of lift while not making it stiff at all as I’ve previously experienced with salt sprays.

So if you happen to be after some added texture or if you want to bring out your natural waves or curls, I would highly recommend this product. While I can’t guarantee you’ll look like a mermaid, I can safely say this will provide you with that ‘messy yet done’ bohemian look, perfect for spring and summer.
