All Round Party Hair

Hello Everyone

I had a fab day- went to visit my new baby twin cousins and they are sooooooo cute!!

Today's post I'm going to show you my all round party hair look- it looks good from the front, back and sides.

First off here is the kit I used:

Items L- R:
Naturals Daily Refreshing Shampoo in Cherry Blossom from Avon
Naturals Volumising Conditioner in Raspberry and Hibiscus from Avon
Round barrel brush
Tigi Bed Head Totally Baked Volumising & Prepping Hair Meringue
Catwalk by Tigi Session Series Salt Spray
2 Black Hairbands
Comb

And this is how I did it...

Firstly I washed and conditioned my hair.  I mentioned in an earlier post that I normally used the Advance Techniques Colour Protection shampoo and conditioner but I love to try new things so I can review them.  That's why this time I thought I would try out this Naturals shampoo and conditioner and I was very impressed.  They smell amazing and left my hair feeling healthy and soft.  They are a bargain too- in Brochure 3 the shampoo is available in a 700ml bottle for just £1.99.  If you get through as much shampoo as I do you'll know this is a real money saver!

Next i ran the Tigi Hair Meringue (which is basically a mousse) through the mid lengths and ends of my hair to give it some body and then blow dried with a large round barrel brush (that I have had for years).  I left my fringe flat and super shiny.

Once it was dry I sprayed the back of my hair with a texturising spray (I used a salt spray) before pulling it in to a ponytail then twisting it round in to a bun, securing it with two black hairbands (or whatever looks best in your hair).  I buy hairbands in Primark, £1 for 30.

Then I  just rough it up a bit using a comb to backcomb and tease the hair around the bun.  My comb is again from Primark.  £1 for a set of 2.

Then voila....

An all round party hair-do!! 

I love doing this for parties because its easy, quick and won't detract from smouldering make-up or beautiful earrings (the ones in the picture were £1 in Topshops sale).  It also stays put all evening which means I don't have to keep fussing with it!

I hope you have enjoyed today's blog.  Thanks for checking it out.
