I can see a Rainbow!...

Lauren Conrad, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj are just some celebrities that have been spotted with some bright colours swept through their hair.Whether it's a dip dye effect, or some brightly coloured slices, the celebs are loving adding rainbow colours to their locks!

There are various methods to achieve the rainbow hair look. Kevin Murphy Color Bugs can give you a blast of colour that wipes in and washes out. Or if you fancy a more permanent look, why not try Fudge Paintbox, or Manic Panic who both do a wide range of vibrant colours to help you brighten up your hair.
If you have dark hair you may find that without bleaching it's hard to get the vibrant shade you are after. This is were clip in pieces can give you the colour without the commitment! You can pick up these from a number of shops and online, Wonderland Wigs do some fab colours.

You can also 'chalk' the hair, and I'll be talking more about this later in the month. It's a colour technique you can try at home so I hope you'll all give it a go!

Do you think you'd go all out and dip dye your ends a bright colour, or do you prefer the Katy Perry look?

New: John Frieda Full Repair Range

You may have seen the adverts on TV recently for a new range from John Frieda. The Full Repair range is designed specifically for women (or men) who colour and style their hair regularly (hello!!)
The range promises to help repair the look and feel of hair, along with protecting from heat damage from styling. Pretty good stuff hey?

As I've recently coloured my hair, I know it's important to make sure it's in the best condition possible. I must admit heat styling does play a part in my weekly hair schedule so it's good to know my hair is being protected from further damage. Definitely puts my mind at rest! I'll be reviewing the range later this month so I'll let you know my thoughts.
If you'd like to have the chance to WIN the entire range, pop over to their Facebook page where you can find out more. 

Sunday Snip #29

Well my quiet weekend turned out to be great with my sister, Crystal, surprising me by arriving Friday evening! We had spoken on the Thursday and she obviously thought it was time for a visit so up she zoomed. :)
We spent Saturday at the salon (more on that later in the week) and I came out looking pretty different...

And of course there was a Wagamamas on the cards (the edamame side dish is amazing)...

Product of the Week
After using it for the Virtual Styling Class from Aussie I have been spraying this through my mid-lengths and ends before styling for a textured but healthy look. Even better for the beachy ombre look I'll be working this summer. :)

 Celeb Hair of the Week
Lindsay Lohan has gone back to her roots. Thank heavens! I think her natural auburn shade looks so much better than the bleach blonde look. Just hope she leaves her face alone now! What do you think?

Did you know?
In Greek mythology is was thought that when a redhead died, they became a vampire. Can't remember RPatz having red hair, although Mona was a vampire...

How's your Sunday been? 

I hope you've been enjoying the gorgeous weather, I'm off for a cider in the garden. 

It's what Sundays are made for.

Aussie: Virtual Styling Class

Wednesday night saw me sat infront of my laptop with towel dried hair eagerly awaiting Aussie & Eugene the stylist to teach me a big and bouncy curly style.
The newest idea from the aussome Aussie bunch for us Angels were the virtual styling classes where we got taught how to get 'gorge' (shiny, glossy and well-dressed hair) whilst being able to ask questions, and for any advice. You could even ask Eugene to repeat something if you need a little more explanation. All from the relaxing comfort of your own home (not that mine was that relaxing - football on, dogs clambering over me and a spag bol to cook!)

Angels taking part got a package of products delivered to help style them up. Mine included...

Aussome Texturising Conditioning Gel Spray 

Aussie say: Just spritz some of this spray into damp hair, work in and blow-dry 

I was really impressed with this product, I've never used it before, but after applying the mousse I sprayed this through my hair (concentrating on mid-lengths and ends) and found it left my hair with a great, beachy texture. It was still soft and I could rake my fingers through my hair. Definitely winner for summer hair!

Aussome Volume + Conditioning Mousse 

Aussie say: When it comes to volume, everyone’s got their limits. This mousse works on each strand of hair, letting you create your desired amount of va-va-voom

I have always been a big fan of Aussie mousse, the smell is incredible and it really conditions your hair. You do achieve volume and my hair is always full of bounce whenever I use this before blowdrying. Even a rough blowdry will still give your hair oomph!

Aussome Volume + Gloss Spray 

Aussie say: We have added some Sea Kelp into this lightweight spray that loves volume and shine

Probably one of the best smelling hairsprays on the market. I prefer to use this as Eugene directed, either sprayed onto a brush, or a light spray to finish. I personally find the hairspray a little tacky when applied for serious hold. 

The end result was a gorgeous soft wave look that smelt and felt amazing. As the evening went on I found that whilst the waves dropped slightly it only added to the relaxed look which is great for summer. What do you think?

What do you think of virtual styling? Something you'd give a go?
