Summer + Hair = Fabulosity

Summer's coming! And yes, all the hair dramas regarding the hot weather and the humid days would appear. But not to worry, here are some hair styles that you at home can do to maintain your summer hair cool while having fun under the sun :)

The Classic Twisted Bun.

This hair style is easy to achieve and is recommended if you want a no fuss quick fix in the morning. It is a celeb favorite because it adds glamour and sophistication to any look.


The following are the steps needed to achieve this chic style:

1. Finger comb the front of your hair, gathering the rest into a ponytail at the back of your head.
2. Hold the ponytail with your left hand then using your right, twist your hair to the end.
3. Wrap and twist the loose end until you have reached the tip.
4. Use hair pins to secure your hair.
5. Leave little strands of hair and/or pull out some at the front of your face for a softer look.

Loose Waves.

 This is my favorite hair style as it resembles the beach babe persona. Its cool, fun and light.

The following are the steps needed to achieve this chic style:

1. Style your hair the way you normally would then add a styling mousse or a texturizing spray to your hair prior to the styling.
2. Section your hair into equal pieces and secure them with clips.
   
3. Always begin at the base of your hair then to the crown.
4. Using a large barreled curling iron on low heat, take one section and place the end of your curl near the handle of the iron. Do not open the clip of the iron; simply and loosely wrap the entire section around the outside of the barrel, making sure to overlap the end so it will stay.
5. Hold the hair for about 2 minutes, then gently remove it from the curling iron.
6. You then repeat this step for every section.
7. Don't use a brush or a comb to separate out the curls as this can destroy the style. Use your fingers to gently separate the hair from each other. Toss your hair while spritzing hairsrpay evenly along the strands.

Sleek and Long.

This hairstyle is perfect for long thick hair as it will make your hair look nice and healthy. It is easy to do and would not take your whole morning to achieve.

1. Before straightening your hair, apply  heat protection to prevent damage to your locks.
2. Put your hair into even sections.
3. Straighten sectioned hair.
4. Repeat this step to every section.
5. Spritz shining serum then repeat step 3.
6. Et voila! Your hair is shiny and straight.

I ❤ Maxi Dresses

The Maxi Dress. This dress is simply timeless and fashionable. It combines the red carpet look to the just another day at the beach get up without going over the top.

You can dress it down for a carefree look when going to the beach, or dress it up for a super glam outfit as shown by these celebs in the photo.

If you're heading to the beach, team it up with a nice beach bag, big trend setter sunnies and a pair of cute sandals for a fresher look.

The most elegant outfit I could ever think of is the maxi dress as it flows and makes you look taller and slender. So if you're looking for a new look, I highly recommend that you go and buy one of these maxi dresses and see how elegant and ethereal it looks for yourself ;)

Hope you enjoy it,

Hair Tips and Tricks.

Okay, so most of you by now would have noticed that I am obsessed with styling hair. So, as a nice person [haha], I would share to you my hair tips and tricks to help you guys achieve a healthy, shiny, looking hair in minutes.

• To make your locks look extra-shiny, rinse your hair with cold water as this seals in the cuticles which prevents "fly-aways" resulting to a dryer looking texture of the hair.

• To add shine after styling the hair, spritz some shine serum and quickly run the straightening iron thru it.

• Avoid hair damage by using heat protection for your hair before straightening, blow drying and curling.

• Try to air dry your hair as much as possible.

• Only use styling mousse to the roots of your hair as it can add heaviness and prevent natural movement of the hair.

• Do not use a hairbrush while your hair is still wet as this can easily break wet tangled hair. Use a wide toothed comb.

• Do not wash your hair everyday, as frequent washings can strip off your hair's natural oil leaving it dry and lifeless.

• Trimming your hair will not make it grow faster. This is a myth.

• Deep condition your hair at least once a week to maintain a healthy look.

• If your hair is greasy and you don't have time to wash it, use translucent powder over the roots as this will absorb the grease of your hair leaving it looking clean.

• If your having a bad hair day, tie your hair up in a stylish up do leaving some hair strands at the sides of your face for a softer look.
