Best Scalp Scrub for me

In case you happened to watch or read about my janurary favorites including all the hair products, you saw me talk about scalp scrub. It is something I have receantly added to my hair wash routine and I have been really into it. I honestly don' t know how I got by without it. That is why I decided to write a whole post about it. 

 

Favorite Hair products in January 2021

 With January gone (how did that happen?) it is only fitting to shre my favorite hair products. As I have tried a few new things, figured out what works best for me and my hair right now and overall wanted to share these products and tools with you all. 

How to wear 50's and 60's Hair today

As promised, I am bringing you a lot more hair content. Starting off with a bit of a decade theme. There is so much to take from history of style and hair has always been changing and evolving. You have deffinitelly noticed that past styles have a huge influence on what we do or wear today. One of them I have seen a lot lately is a lovely mix of 50' s and 60's. The volume from sixties and curl from fifties mixed together give you a very now look. Little flirty, sexy and put together. Can also change depending on outfit you add it to. 

My Hair Mask Routine

 In last few months I got myself into a nice routine. No not a life routine, just a hair one. As I have previously said in few posts, I have been trying to improve the condition of my hair. In the process my natural waves came back. And so I now finally came up with a routine that works best for me, my hair and my scalp. 

Main part really is the hair mask routine. Once a week- usually on Sunday, I treat my hair to some extra care. I use two different hair masks. One is for my scalp and the other is for my hair (especially those dry, bleached ends). 

Banana Shampoo and Conditioner by Garnier, is it worth it?

I have been hearing about banana based hair products for a while now and seeing them in pretty much every drugstore. Even had some clients asking me, wether those products are really worth the hype. So as a hairdresser I was intrigued. 

Now I do know that there are a lot of benefits to bananas. They are great for you to eat, add to beauty products and sure, must be great for hair too. After doing some reading I figured out a few things. Biggest benefit of bananas is, as most of us know, pottasium. They are also rich in natural oils, vitamins and carbohydrates. All that means a potential of a great moisturizer and softener. So does it really have the benefits it promises?

Red for the Holidays

As as hairstylist I am tempted to change my hair color almost every day. I know how to approach it and I myself create some good work. Still I decided to stick to some sort of blonde for about 2 years now. If there is anything people know about me, its that 2  years is a long time to be committed to one hair style. So change has been in the air. 

Golden Hour

So not only is golden hour my favorite time of a day (and so almost every photographers dream), but also probably my favorite shade of hair color at the moment. It has been around for ages, I only just realized how much I am lovin this shade on myself though. Goes nice with my skin tone and looks fab with brown eyes. 

Granny Look

I have been wanting to change my hair for a while now. The whole smudged root thing has been in for som time now and yes it is real practical as it keeps me from having to touch up my roots 24/7. Now I am not saying that I suddenly have plenty of time to spend of doing my hair, but the change has really been needed.
Now even though I am a hairdresser myself and I tend to do my hair alone- help has been needed. So I used my holidays back in the hometown to get this blonde straw I call my hair sorted out.
The plan was simple. Get rid of the dark roots and make it all somewhat even with high/low-light situation.

In A Shortcut

Do you live in England? Have you ever visited? Ever attempted to come during summer? Succeeded? Congrats. You made it to England during those magical 3-4 weeks of summer. If doesn' t always come in a row. Those few weeks are sprinkled around the year, as mother nature pleases. I was lucky enough to be able to somewhat enjoy the first part of British summer and it actually helped me fall back in love with Liverpool.

As I lived here for good few years, Liverpool became my home. Place where I work, live, have responsibilities and grown up shit to deal with. This type of places tends to start grossing us out after a little while. There is nothing you can do about it. It is just one of those things that happens in life.
In my case, I just got tired of being in the same place. Bored of doing same things and not having time or energy to do nothing more then I had to. The few sunny days charged me up though and I was able to go places and do thing that made me love Liverpool on first place. Meeting up with friends, getting food or few drinks, working in and outside of the salon and I even had time to chill and have little me time. Perfect way to remind myself why I live in this Scouse land.

I love braids! As a hairdresser my favorite technique ever is braiding. Any type I can. With or without extension, cornrows, fishtails, dutch braids, french braids. Just love it. 

It is a perfect way to freshen up your summer style. I do them on myself all the time too. It works its magic really!

Get inspired - Get creative - Experiment a little

What is your favorite style? DO you rock them Kardashian braids? Or you like more of boho vibe?
Let me know x
Until next time, keep safe and live your life to the fullest

Latest Hair Love

I am pretty proud bout the hair creations I do, but those who know me have pretty good idea of how critical I can be at the same time. I always find something I would change. Even if it is just a use of one more product at styling or different comb to do a haircut. Always something. I do know this is good, even my lecturer says this is how critical she is of her work. Still. After all the time.

Thats why whenever someone asks me bout my favorite hair I did or style I just pause. I love it all. I did still try to choose my TOP 5 I created this year (female hairstyles only this time).

Hair Trends for Fall 2016 by Loreal

As a hairstylist and still a hair student I get a lot of opportunities to educate the crap out of me. In my college we work with L´oreal and ever since I started using their products I was sold. I feel like it really is one of the best brands you can use. And their trends and education is always on point. 

That is why ,whenever I get a chance to be a part of their presentation or demonstration I make sure I am there and I definitelly stick around till the end.
This time I have seen a new take on balayage and technique called strobing. I will make sure to write about this in a bit or perhaps make a new post on it.

Right now I want to share the biggest trends for fall and winter that L´oreal nicely summed up for all of us. I mean you might have already seen them, especially if you are a hair and fashion freak like me and you were keeping up with all of the fashion weeks.

Pinks and Silver

As a hairstylist I know a lot about trends and styles that are in now and will be soon. But also I see a certain pattern in what my clients are asking me to do. I am actually very happy to say that they all got bit more adventures lately and are going for more fun styles then before.

Most of my clients are asking for crazy colors, mostly PINK, purples or any pastelised version of those.
If they can´t go for something as bright  we often opt for silvers, steel, greys. Which also make me bloody happy since I am a big fan of these cool tones.
So I wanted to put it together a bit and show you things I did (and actually took pictures of) and share our little inspiration. Cause who knows, maybe this will give you that push to try some of these yourself.
