My Hair Tips

One of the most defining moments in a young woman's life is when she has her hair styled for the first time. Mine was when I was thirteen. I looked completely different and went from being an awkward girl to a glamorous teenager. Its such an instant transformation for anyone.
My friend took me to the hairdressers as she thought a good haircut would help my lack of confidence. She was right!

Over the years I've dyed my hair red,blonde and brown and have gone from having it cropped short to having hair extensions put in that reached my waist!

One of the mistakes I tended to make, and I'm sure others have done, is to copy a 'look' on a celebrity or model- just because I liked it. But I didn't have the right type of hair for the style to make it work for me.
Once I had my hair cropped very short and let my friend put 60% volume peroxide on! Apart from nearly burning off my scalp, the desired look didn't happen and instead of a white blonde trendy crop, I had a slight but very noticeable green tinged hair colour. It was about that time that I discovered baseball caps with a vengeance!

These days I think the best style is the easiest one to maintain. I found short hair hard work for me as it needed styling every day, while longer hair can easily be put up if i'm in a rush.

Ive gone through a small fortune over the years on hair styling products, most collecting dust in the attic! But I recently came across Haito styling tongs and I love them. They have a spiral, which is easy to position your hair in and a clip to hold the hair in place while you tong it. I like the fact that it is so quick and easy to use and has a lasting effect, even the next day.
