Hi There

Look of the Week – Boho Braids

Look of the Week – Boho Braids

Boho braids are right up there among my favourite hairstyles! This week I wanted to try out a version of boho braids, but a little neater and tighter, so that the style would hold all day. Since I had the whole boho thing going on with the hair, I wanted to wear a girly, lacy dress that would compliment this look. My cream, Bershka dress was perfect! To keep the look current without making it look too “bridesmaidy”, I wore a chunky neckpiece with pearl accents, and although I didn’t shoot any pics of my shoes, I wore nude, leather sandals. The hair style My hair doesn’t usually hold braids too well (as it is superfine), but since discovering  TONI&GUY Sea Salt Texturizing spray, my braids stay put all day! After I washed my hair, I sectioned it in two layers – top and bottom. On the top layer I sprayed a little Toni & Guy Sea Salt Texturing Spray, and avoided spraying it on the bottom layer (tell you why just now). Then, I just rough dried my hair, combed it through and my lovely sister in law, helped me create this neat and tidy braid. On the bottom layer,…

Summer Festival

Summer Festival

Two outfit posts in one week! You can defs tell that I’m getting into the summer groove! And, I’m actually starting to make friends with my camera too (hehe). Okay, so Toni&GUY asked me to Dress from the Hair down and put together a look of the week for their Tumblr page. Since we’re pretty deep into festival season, outdoor parties and summer days spent outside, I based my look around “Rocktober” and came up with this festival-ready hair and outfit… I washed my hair and combed it out using a bit of Toni&GUY Smoothing Detangler To style my hair, I used TONI&GUY Sea Salt Texturizing spray which I sprayed into my damp hair before rough drying it. Then, I just pulled my hair to the side and braided it. I braided it quite tightly and left a little space where I tied it up, so that I had enough room to tug at the sides of my braid. I do this to give it a fuller and messier appearance. For the outfit, of course I picked something denim! My gorgeous denim gilet which I bought in Greece and a fun, floral (but not too girly) dress, aviator shades and although you can’t see them, I…

#TousledHairDontCare

#TousledHairDontCare

Almost time for parteeeee-season! What are you going to wear? More importantly, what are you going to do with your hair? Sleek and sexy is always good for party locks, but since here in South Africa, holiday season revolves around summer parties and beach-bound hair, casual, yet sexy hair is always a winner in my book! Since I am also a Durban gal, you guys know the humidity here can be pretty crazy at times, so instead of fighting messy hair, I’ve decided to work with it instead! One of my fave looks for sexy summer hair, is the tousled, effortless, “I just woke up with it” kind of hair. Think Miranda Kerr and Blake Lively (but without the curls). This look has more attitude than tousled hair with curls and is so much easier to do! I don’t know about you guys, but having to style my hair with heat in summer can get pretty uncomfortable, especially on those friggin’ hot mornings! There are tons of ways to get this look, but here’s how I did it… Shampoo and condition hair Rough dry using a hairdryer on medium heat until hair is damp but not completely dry While the hair…

TONI&GUY Style Collection Review

TONI&GUY Style Collection Review

I have straight hair. As in super straight, boring hair! It’s long, but it’s also so straight that I find it very difficult to style on my own. To add to that, I’m not much of a hair-product junkie. I have a few hair product faves that I use from time to time, but most of the time, it’s just wash and go for me! I’m lazy like that! Then TONI&GUY sent me a few products from their range, together with a trend book filled with hair-spiring styles, tips and tricks that made me want to start creating looks. Feeling motivated, I was keen to test out the products and try some of the looks. They also have video tutorials that you can follow on their Youtube Channel. I love their catchy tagline HAIR MEET WARDROBE. And let’s be honest, looking stylish should start from the head down! The TONI&GUY range includes three fashion inspired collections; classic, casual and glamour. In SA, the full range is almost available. While we don’t have all of products from the international range, we do have most of them, and you can find them exclusively at Clicks. Here are my four faves. These products…
