Changing your Hair Colour: What about Eyebrows?
I have been asked eyebrows and hair colour change quite a bit.
Generally eyebrows should be a shade or two darker than your hair. I am a natural blonde but even when I was blonde I tinted my eyebrows very lightly as they are almost white. Not a good look! Now that I am red the same tint works fine.
If you are going blonde from a darker shade, brown eyebrows could work just fine. Bear in mind that your brows shouldn’t over (more…)
Wig time…Can I pull off being a red head?
I know it’s a wig and it looks a wee bit silly but I’m using it as a guide.
I have been toying with the idea of changing my hair colour for years but in the last few weeks the urge is strong! I have always been blonde. My entire family are blondes, even my Dad and brother.
I just really fancy a bit of a change. Since my mother is a colourist a colour change is convenient but I am terrified of looking weird. Ha ha
What do you think of the wig colour on me?
Victoria Secret Love Spell Shampoo & Conditioner
If you have seen my latest video you know that I bought Victoria Secret Love Spell Shampoo and Conditioner last week. It came highly recommended so I had to get my hands on it.
Victoria Secret had a 3 for 2 offer on so I bought two shampoos and one conditioner, since I use so much less of it.
Most of my haircare purchases are bought to enhance my hair in one way or another, plumping roots, smoothing split ends, volumising etc etc This purchase however was purely based on scent. I love when a breeze catches your hair and the fragrance of your shampoo escapes. This shampoo smells like peach, cherry blossom and jasmine. It’s very pretty but very sweet.
I gave them a whirl this evening and I have to say, my hair does smell good. I did my usual to washes and one conditioning session. Performance wise I’d say it’s the same as most of the other shampoos I have tried. No better but no worse.
My one concern, as I mentioned in my video, is for my highlights. This shampoo is for all hair types. I am a little concerned that this won’t do my few highlights any favours.
I have the Love Spell body spray so I think I shall be layering my scent this afternoon. If I smell like a teen, so be it!
Top Hair Care Buys of 2009
I bought quite a few hair products this year. To be honest quite a few is a bit of an understatement. Like most girls I’m on a quest for hair perfection. I chose the best of the bunch and talk about them in this video. These are the only hair products that I would rebuy. As for the rest, what a waste!
12 Week Blow Dry
As you may already know, my parents are hair stylists. My mum recently got a 12 week blowdry as a way of testing it out before learning how to do it.
The affects were amazing. My Mam has quite wirey, course hair so I couldn’t believe the transformation. It has now been 6 weeks since the treatment and her hair still looks amazing. She noticed that it’s not a chore to dry her hair after she washes it. It holds the shape and silkiness.
Here’s how it works:
The 12 week blow-dry is a treatment for taming frizzy and unruly hair. It leaves hair smooth, sleek salon blow-dried finish that lasts for 12 weeks.
It takes approximately two hours and you are left with easy-to-manage silky smooth hair.
The product contains Keratin, a primary protein in hair and nails. Keratin is natural and gives hair a healthy and smooth finish.No chemicals or preservatives are used in the treatment.
The treatment is applied to the hair which is then allowed to dry straight and sealed with straighteners. You have to avoid tieing up you’re hair or putting it behind you’re ears for a short time.
It takes no time at all to blow-dry and straightening your own hair for the full 12 weeks.
What seems great to me is that your hair won’t frizz in the rain (Irish women can relate!) and a little blast of heat from your dryer and your hair looks fabulous. Que 1980’s vidal sassoon music … ‘like you just stepped out of the salon’.
Where to get the 12 week blow dry:
My Mam is now trained in the 12 week blow dry. If you are interested in getting the treatment email me at amy@makeupandbeauty.ie and I will pass you on her information.
