I've recently discovered a love for hair braiding, plaits, wraps and beads. They're so effortless and add a little hippy twist to your everyday 'look' (how cheesy.)
I'm not sure about anywhere else, but hair wraps have become relatively fashionable in Australia. I can remember last having one when i went on holiday to spain when i was about 9 and i genuinely thought i was very, very cool haha. Sometimes i wonder how i had friends when i was younger. Seriously.
I found some string/embroidery cotton/i don't know what the material is called, around the house, followed this tutorial and hey presto (make sure the material is 4 times as long as your hair). It lasted for about a month and was very simple to do, i love it!
I love beads, i literally just plaited a strand of hair, shoved a few pretty beads on it and tied a small see-through piece of elastic on the end of it to keep everything put.
I was recently sent this little wonder from John Frieda and i have fallen in love with it. I'm naturally blonde and have always wanted to go a shade or two lighter but have been terrified to dye it myself or at the hairdressers, and in all honesty, lemons just weren't cutting it.
With John Frieda's Go Blonder Lightening Spay, you simply spray hair thoroughly after you wash it, and leave it to dry as normal. Instead of giving you a solid colour, it will gradually lighten your hair as if you've been on holiday for about a month and i honestly don't know how i did without it. The effects are more effective if you use heat on your hair afterwards - so straightening/blow drying it will cause it to go even blonder. By 10 uses, my hair was a whole 'shade' lighter (heat or no heat) and i will honestly be buying this forever more, and at £6.99 a bottle from Boots, it's much cheaper than going to the hair dressers. I genuinely cannot stress how amazing this is, and if you don't believe me, read the other reviews on the Boots website!
Anyway, i hope you're all gravy lovelies. It's finally starting to get hot in Australia, which means shorts, tans, beach trips, fresh fruit and swims in the sea. Oh, i love the sun.
