LuxeOil

I’m a huge fan of hair oils, especially since I ombre-ed my hair. I love that hair oil, as apposed to those silicone blasted serums (yuk), absorbs so much better and doesn’t leave my hair feeling greasy or icky. I got to try out the uber luxe new range of hair treats from Wella System Professional called Luxeoil and I really love this range! The Luxe Oil range consists of five products; a lightweight Keratin Protect Shampoo, Keratin Boost Essence, Keratin Restore Mask, Light Oil Spray and a Reconstructive Elixir. I’ve been using this range for about two weeks and loving the condition of my hair. I don’t know about you, but I generally find an awesome hair product which my hair loves it, then after a while my hair sort of adjusts and I need to find something different to shock it back into looking good. So far, my hair still loves Luxeoil. I love that Luxeoil has a lightweight shampoo, since my hair tends to get greasy quite quickly. It smells divine and really feels as though it cleans my hair nicely. After shampooing, I use the super luxurious Luxeoil Keratin Restore Mask. This, to me, is the rock-star of this range. It’s such an indulgent mask and my hair really…

Clip in hair extensions – Review on Short Hair

If you’ve got shorter hair but want to add length, you can do it in a flash with Clip in Hair Extensions. To demonstrate this I used my buddy ol’ pal and regular beauty guinea pig for StyleScoop, Louise. Now Louise has very short hair that is also layered, so transforming her short hair into long strands was bound to be difficult. Difficult, but not impossible 🙂 Because Louise’s hair was so short we had to come up with another way to make it longer. So instead of applying the clips and letting it loose as I did with mine, we styled hers a bit, adding a cute flower brooch that helped to tuck in the bits of hair that were sticking out. She pulled it all to one side to keep it looking sleek. On the opposite side Louse plaited her hair, letting the hair fall to one side only. How cute and clever is this? So see, even if your hair is super short, you can make it super long with some hair tricks. Although Louise’s hair colour is quite different to mine, with all the highlighted bits, the colour at the bottom was very similar to the…

Clip in hair extensions – Review on Long Hair

Although my hair is already pretty long, sometimes I wish it could just be fuller and more glamorous you know! So, when I discovered clip in hair extensions, it was to say the least, love at first clip. I must admit, I was sceptical about these at first, I did’nt think they would hold on my hair as its super straight and very soft, but I am very impressed. I love my clip in hair extensions. Take a look… As you can see my hair is a pretty decent length, but who can so no to more long locks? Check out the transformation from the picture above. The clip in hair extensions have blended beautifully with my own hair – you can’t even tell the difference! I put these in myself (without being able to see the back of my head) and it took me about 7 minutes to get them all in there. My hair is pretty layered at the back, so I do have odd strands sticking out, but when I pull all my hair to the side or keep it all back (with no pieces in front) you can’t even see where my own hair ends. My…

Love your hair with La Brasiliana – Review

Oh la la, I love my La-Brasiliana hair! La-Brasiliana is an intensive keratin treatment that transforms the hair. The result; smoother, shinier, more manageable hair. Now you girls know that nothing beats a good a hair day, so when given the opportunity to have one, every day for the next couple of months who could resist? Last week Thursday I went to the lovely Scissors salon in Durban to test drive the La-Brasiliana hair treatment. It’s a fabulous treatment that takes your hair from drab to fab in the salon chair. And when used in conjunction with the correct home care range, can let you keep your great hair for up to three months. What is it La-Brasiliana is an in-salon Brazilian keratin treatment. It tames your mane and although it can’t transform your hair from curly to straight, it helps it along the way. By coating each strand of hair in keratin and using a preservative to lock it in, you can enjoy sleeker, sexier, more manageable hair. For those of you with curls, styling them straight is a breeze after La-Brasiliana. I kid you not, it took me literally 10 minutes to dry my hair this morning with…
