Waterfall Braid tutorial ♥

Hey dolls,

Hope you are all well. I, like many other bloggers, have just finished my A level exams and therefore blogging has taken a back seat for a while, but I am back and ready to blog again :)

Summer is finally upon us and at this time of year I always love to braid my hair. My new obsession is the waterfall braid as it looks lovely with beach waves. It is quite tricky the first few times but once you get around which pieces go where you'll be able to do it quickly and as easily as a normal braid.

Start with a long parting on one side of your head.

 Then split your hair into a small section at the front.

Braid as usual for about two rotations.

Now drop the bottom piece of the braid (I like to grip it with my lips as it keeps it out of the way).

Now pick up a new bottom piece from the rest of your hair.

 Add a small amount of hair to the top piece of the braid only.

 Continue dropping, getting a new bottom section and joining hair to the top section each time you braid the hair and you will begin to see something like this.

Once you reach the back of the head, you can either bobble the waterfall braid off or continue to a regular braid.

This is the final look. I think it looks lovely with natural wavy hair for that boho look!

I hope my steps were easy to follow - as always if you have any questions just comment below.

Pantene ♥

Hey dolls,

I was recently sent some pantene pro-v products and after using them I would definitely recommend them! I was sent the aqua light shampoo, conditioner, intensive mask and nourishment spray and then a heat protector.

I love the aqua light shampoo and conditioner - they smell lovely and they do make your hair feel much lighter but not dry.

I have wanted to try the intensive mask for some time as I love the feeling of really smooth, conditioned hair. I love this mask and will definitely repurchase when I have used it all up. It tells you to shampoo and condition as usual and then leave this on for 2 -3 minutes. As I wanted to fully feel the effects of the conditioning, I left it on for much longer and then washed it out and let my hair air dry. My hair was smooth and I couldn't stop feeling my fringe - I would recommend this product and have to done to my friends!

The nourishment spray is to be used on damp or dry hair and you spray it onto hair that needs nourishment. As my fringe tends to get dry due to hair drying and straightening, I used the spray here and I could tell a difference as it fell soft and again I couldn't stop touching it! The spray is made up of two different liquids - a blue and a clear and therefore the spray has to be shaken before using.

The heat protector was part of the ice shine range and again I would use this again. I think that heat protectors are the most important hair products after shampoo and conditioner especially if you want to use heat but prevent split ends and breakages.

Have any of you used the aqua light range? What do you guys think to it?

Wella Hair Products

Hey dolls,

I headed over to my nearest Sally's hair suppliers last week to see what they had and spotted these two products on a buy on get one free offer! There was a choice of Wella hair products to choose from but I think that these two suit what I want from my hair but I could have easily walked away with the whole Wella range.

I bought Crystal styler and Add Some Volume. Both are great products. The Crystal Styler is setting spray which you use when the hair is damp, before blow drying or using rollers. It's great as it gives the hair volume and hold. Add Some Body is a gel which again you use on damp hair. You can then either blow dry or let the hair dry naturally to add volume to the hair.

I would recommend both products, especially as they are on a buy one get one free offer!

Clothes Show London

Hey girls :)

So at the weekend I was lucky enough to visit the Clothes Show in London. I must say that there were nowhere near as many stands as the winter one at the NEC in Birmingham and I missed Juicy Couture, Tigi etc.

A stand that I really enjoyed visiting was Tara Smith. She was extreamly nice and I spent some time talking to her about her clients , the fact we have the same name and also her amazing products - I will do a review once using. I tried out the finishing spray and my hair has never felt so soft! She asked if I would like to be her hair model, her hair cuts normally cost £250, but it would mean cutting my hair radically and I love my long locks too much to allow that to be done!

I had my hair washed and blow dried at the Pantene stand and was able to try the new aqua range - it is really good. I did recieve some samples, so again will do a review when I have used them more. My hair felt light and also was really shiny. They were doing casting for a new advert to be released in August and I was asked by a number of people to take part and I did, so watch out as I could be hitting a screen near you lol. I was really tempted to do my best Cheryl Cole (or should I say Tweedy?) impression: 'Weak, limp, lifeless - I found an answer to our hair prayers. My hair has its mojo back!'.

The actual Clothes Show was really good. The show was presented by Larry and George Lamb and they presented a prize to a designer whose dress will be available in New Look stores around the country in the winter. The Wanted played and I ♥ their new song - it was really catchy! One of them was 2 years above me at school so it was quite cool seeing him lol.  After the show I was able to meet George and Larry - as a superfan of Gavin and Stacey and a lover of Eastenders I was obviously very happy! I must say that Larry Lamb was really nice!

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed the day although I do think that the NEC show is alot better - there are more and better stands. Hope you all had good weekend in the hot weather!

Fishtail plait

Hey girls :)

So thought that I would do another hair tutorial. Below are the steps to achieving a fishtail plait. You can do them neat for a night out or pull out to create a messy relaxed look. Hope the steps help - don't forget to comment!

You will need:

Gather all hair at one side of the head and tie loosely with a hair bobble.

Split the pony tail into two.

Take a small piece from one of the halves.

Take this small piece of hair over the half it is taken from and join it to the other half.

Repeat this step, this time with the other side.

Continue repeating alternating the sides that the hair is taken from.

You should achieve something like this.

Continue repeating until you reach the bottom of your hair and secure with a hair bobble.

Spray hairspray on the plait to secure it in place and grip any pieces that have fallen out.

Remove the bobble at the top of your hair if you wish - the fishtail plait will stay in place, don't worry!
For a relaxed look pull the plait out, as shown below, to loosen the fishtail plait.

The final look should be something like this.

Hope you like the look and once again if you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask!

Braided fringe

I have been wearing my fringe like this for ages and think that it looks great when your hair is down or in a bun. After a few practices this becomes a lot easier and you can vary the amount of hair that you pick up and therefore create different style plaits - the following is probably an average amount of hair. Below are the steps to creating this hairstyle.

You will need:

Firstly section of the part of the hair to be braided and then tie the rest up in a bun or pony - anything to keep it out of the way.

Then take a small part of the sectioned piece, as shown in the picture.

 Separate the taken piece into three. 

Begin to plait the hair, but only a little amount as hair will need to be incorporated. Plait about the amount shown below.

Now you need to incorporate some of the hair from below the braid. You do this by taking a small amount from either side and joining it in with side pieces of the braid, as shown below.

Now continue to braid and keep adding pieces in everytime you do a cross over of a piece i.e on every movement. You should achieve something like this:

Keep on doing the same thing until you reach the end of your sectioned piece and then fix the braid in place by using the elastic bobble. If you do not have any of these you can quite easily use grips instead.

After this let down all the hair that was held out of the way and the style is complete! I hope this helped you. If there are any questions don't forget to comment below.
