I have made my piece with my shorter hair. However, there are some days that I’m really not feeling the cut. On those days I would love to have the option of hair extensions. It might only be once a week or so but I miss the variety that same with having longer tresses. My clip-ins take too long...

I recorded a little tutorial on how to create soft, pretty hair using the Babyliss conical wand. Here’s a picture of the finished look, the video is below it. Here’s the video: Some more pictures…     Thanks for watching! Don’t forget to hit the Facebook...

As you know I had my hair chopped off in early December. I’m going to be completely honest with you, I cried for a solid 24 hours after the chop. I know that sounds a little dramatic, I didn’t realise how attached I was to my long hair. I had hundreds of requests to show you some photos...

I am waiting and hoping that my flight leaves for Dublin without a hitch tonight. In the meantime I decided a spot of blogging would be ideal! If you read my last post you will know that I picked up an emergency hairspray at Target the other day. My hair was flat as a pancake and for some reason the...

As you know I’m in Chicago at the moment. Thought I would post a little update on my trip so far…that being the shopping really :)   Outlet shopping Firstly, I am quite proud of myself. I went to Aurora yesterday to visit the outlet. Yes, I hear you. Amy in an outlet? Surely that...

I heart Danni Minogue; her hair, her make-up, her style. Funnily enough I never noticed Danni until she had her hair cut into a bob. In fact I once would have considered her a little on the tacky side. Tacky is now the last word anyone could use to describe Ms. Minogue.       Although...

I’m finally biting the bullet and getting my hair cut tomorrow. I got such a huge response from my post on bedhead bobs Most of you thought I should go for it whilst a few of you, my sister included, pleaded with me not to. Well, the choice has been taken away – the only way is snip! This...

I mentioned on Twitter last week that  I was pondering over a new hair style. I received quite mixed responses. Many of you that had gone for the chop regretted it later. The bed-head bob always appeals to me. It still leaves you with length at the front and the sexy out of bed angle is a far cry...

I get tonnes of questions about my hair – the colour, the cut, the extensions etc. so here is all the details. My mum colours my hair and my dad styles it so I have checked all the details with them. My hair is naturally about a 7 on the colour scale (see chart below). Saying goodbye to Mahogany I...

This recipe is not oily despite the fact that is uses essential oils. The witch hazel leaves you scalp feeling tingly and fresh. Rosemary essential oil has been used for thousands of years to help stimulate the scalp. The lavender oil calms the scalp whist the witch hazel acts as an astringent. Ingredients 1...

Cheryl has gone red?! It looks a little Sharon Osbourne red to me but then again I did have orange hair last year so who am I to pass comment :) What do you think? I hear that Cheryl used L’Oreal Casting Crème Gloss in Mahogany. (I also hear that it’s cheaper to buy it at Savers in the UK) You...

As a hair stylist, my Dad has always grumbled about the promises made on anti-dandruff shampoo advertisements. His best friend, a trichologist (hair scientist) also agrees that using anti-dandruff shampoo is a viscous cycle that will lead to you buying hundreds of bottles of the stuff in your life...

If you are a hair product junkie like me you are familiar with the downside to this addiction – Build-up. It makes your hair look dull and lifeless. You can use a clarifying shampoo to sort out the problem but if you have colour treated hair I wouldn’t recommend this. One of the quickest...

It occurred to me that I tend to make videos about products that have excited or pleased me. This is probably because I enjoy positivity. Very often the products I don’t like get off lightly. Not today. Both of these hair tools have let me down, big time! I would be interested to hear about...

There are very few downsides to a holiday in the sun. The one negative for me is the hair damage. The sun, sea water and chlorine from the swimming pool don’t exactly leave your hair looking lustrous. This is the first year that my hair flew home in the same condition it took off in but this...
