Products| L'Oreal Mythic Oil (rich and light)

This Nourishing oil for all hair types is one of the newest products from the L'oreal range and so far I am really excited about the Mythic oil, with ingredients such as avocado and grapeseed oil, you know your hair is going to feel great. I have been testing it out on various clients with different hair types and so far I feel that depending on your hair type, you will need either 1, 2 or 3 pumps on damp or dry hair and continue with your styling, It leaves your hair feeling smooth and lightweight. I find it works really well with weaves, frizzy hair and gives amazing shine (I also really love the smell)

I was introduced to the rich Mythic oil a little later which I feel is great for hair that is unruly, a lot thicker and a little coarse. The rich oil consists of Argan and rice bran oil, I don't believe that you need a lot of this product at all as a little goes a long way. Both products are amazing and a cheaper version of Morrocan oil, which can sometimes be a little greasy if you don't know how to use it. I generally am a big fan of L'oreal products and looking forward to giving reviews on the mythic oil range that we have at the salon.

You can purchase it L'Oreal Mythic Oil from about £12

27........

It seems like just yesterday I was celebrating my 25th birthday, to think it was 2 years ago seems absurd to me! I looked through my blog to see how I have come along and it seemed like another life time ago when I started hairdressing professionally at 22, I think that's when my life officially changed I just didn't realise it then. I wasn't really looking forward to turning 27 but as the day neared I found myself ready to embrace it and thoroughly enjoyed my day, so many great things happened at 26 and I can't wait for what this year has to offer good or bad, life is one lesson after another right?!... Two of my closest  girls and I enjoyed a great evening last night at Burger and lobster filled with laughter and having a good after work catch up, they truly made my day... LOVE THEM! Happy birthday to all those who celebrate their day this month! Kisses x

 

 

Beauty shoot with Lee kirby

Have I told you how much I love beauty shoots? I love the simplicity of them and how you can make something look amazing with not too much going on. The hair was pretty simple and didn't take too long and the models were amazing. Love the outcome, look out for the them in storm magazine online too xx

Salon work| from natural to texturised

I have been seeing a lot transformations in the past months, here is one of a client who came in to go from natural to a more versatile texturised look.

Salon Work| full head install with fringe

Another install from my salon work, I am trying to show different styles and would love to know what type of videos you would like me to do, and a massive thank you to all the lovely clients who let me use them in my videos xx

Beauty| Tutti Frutti

I have been completely obsessed with lipglosses and lipsticks in the last few months, my current new loves for everyday wear are tinted lipglosses or lip butters. I discovered Revlon's lip butter collection a few months ago and was looking for something that I could wear at work without needing to re-apply too much. The tutti frutti comes out a little orange which I love and leaves my lips feeling so soft, I paired it with sweet as Cocoa (MAC)blusher whilst popping out during the weekend. I never really used to mess with eye make up as I like to stay super simple but I am starting to play with it a little more especially for different occasions.

Salon Work| from natural to pixie

Another video in the salon of me taking a client from natural to a pixie cut..

Pixies are timeless for me and can make a woman very sexy combined with her style. It is pretty easy to upkeep, just needs a shape up at least once every 6 weeks

Salon Work| Full head of highlights

My client came in a few weeks ago for another big chop and then came back again for a full head of colour, I love the look on her and here is video of the process...
