Summer hair style – Up dos are in at the moment

An  updo is simply  putting someone’s hair up. This kind of hairdo is commonly requested by females involved in formal functions such as beauty pageants, bat mitzvahs, weddings or proms.

A typical updo for a woman with shoulder-length hair will involve pulling some or all of her hair back in a ponytail . The beautician will then take individual locks of hair from the ponytail, curl them, spritz them down with hairspray, and arrange them with the aid of bobby pins.

 

 

London show celebrates 60 years of British glamour

The show displays a vast array of specially made designs for social events like debutante balls, royal state occasions and red carpet events spanning 60 years.

Most people are excited by the idea of a fairytale evening, of choosing a gown that shows their level of taste that makes them look their best and presents them in their finest attire, Stanfill told Reuters.

But the exhibition isn’t all about parties and layers of tulle and froth, added Stanfill, who said she discovered a layer of subversion beneath Atsuko Kudo’s design, which appears to be lace but is made from latex.

“One of the things I have really enjoyed working for on this show, is notion of subversion…It’s more than just a dress, it’s that one element of surprise that I have really enjoyed discovering,” Stanfill said.

“British design, you think you know what it’s all about and then something comes along and upends your preconceived notions.”

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Vidal Sassoon, hair stylist and fashion world icon who created a natural look in the 1960s and built a multi-million dollar business on his name, has died of apparent natural causes at his home in Los Angeles. He was 84.

The British stylist’s scissors spelled the end of the 1950s-era beehive and the bouffant – untouchable hairstyles that owed their existence to lacquer and hair pins – and brought him international fame and fortune.

Sassoon was dubbed a pioneer by many for coming up with so-called wash and wear looks – liberating many women from weekly salon trips to have their hair done.

Apart from hairdressing interests, he set up the Vidal Sassoon Foundation to help the needy in educational pursuits both in Israel and abroad.

Sassoon is survived by three children and his wife, Rhonda.

Conditioners that work best with curly hair

Having tried various Products in the search of finding one that does all it says, I have narrowed it down to 3 products that are perfect to tame curly hair.

These products Detangles, Calms, Soothes and Conditions, Leaving hair ready to style – Minus the Frizz


My number one product will be Gliss – Liquid Silk Shampoo with Conditioner by Shwartzkopf!! it is very affordable and does exactly what it states or even more.

Leaves your hair soft, silky with a natural gloss, and tangle free.

Followed by Silicon Mix deep Hair Treatmentby Laboratorios Rivas Made in Dominican Republic , this is a very good product but abit more pricy, I feel you can exactly the same results with Gliss.

Twisted Sista De Frizz Conditioner by Urban Therapy is also a good and affordable one.

Celebrities that like the Big hair look

Stand out with the Big hair look,

What you need for this, Lots and lost of hair extensions!!

Best to get a very good quality hair extension as when you use alot of hair it tends to be harder to manage and tangles easily, so aviod using synthetic hair or fake human hair for this look as you will be left with a tangled mop very quickly.
