hair story :)

my hair actually hasn't changed that drastically over the years. i mean yea, i have had layers cut in, full fringe cut in etc but the length and colour has never really changed! but i thought i would just include a few photo's to show you some of the different ways i have styled my hair over the years :)

going for the pigtail look, aged around 14 :) blonde highlights and a few layers...

many more layers and highlights later, 14 years old :) lots of straightening and backcombing.

many highlights and an awful pose! around 15, shortest my hair has ever been, straightened and messed up.
many highlights, this time some bleach ones... and the discovery of curling my hair, 15.

the same haircut but with a few darker highlights and straightened, 16 years old.

i'm now 17, nearly 18. my hair is alot longer and i haven't died it since sept, so it's quite alot darker but i'm trying to get it in good condition, so avoiding hair dye is a must! didn't really see the need for posting a photo of my hair now, as you guys can see what it looks like in my other posts :)

anyways, i hope this didn't bore you too much but i find these types of posts really interesting!

Take care my lovelies,

hairband obsession?

well i don't know about you girls but i know i'm absolutely loving all the hairbands that are out at the moment...

this particular one is from asos and was around £6. i just love how they can change the entire look of an outfit and provide some much needed volume to my hair!

so my question to you is, which shop has the best selection of hairbands? i'm definitely going to have to stock up for summer!

Take care,

hair of the day :)

Hair of the day!

Today, i woke up ridiculously late...i literally had 20 minutes to get out of the door! As i didn't have time to wash and blowdry my hair, i had to leave it in it's natural state but also try and make it look slightly presentable!

I literally ran GHD's through the front of my hair and pinned it over my ears. I then took the top section of my hair and created a side messy bun and just pinned my hair in place. Lastly, i hairsprayed the rest of my hair that was down and voila...i'm ready to leave!

Now this may not be the neatest hairstyle but i sometimes think messy hairstyles look better + i still had time to take this rather strained looking photo of myself haha!

(If you were wondering, i'm wearing my new love - mac's cremecup lipstick)

Take care,

hair of the day :)

It's Easter Sunday and i have a LOAD of coursework that needs doing. So... i decided to mess about with hairstyles and try and make my hair atleast presentable for our annual easter roast, yum!

I usually curl my hair with curling tongs and away from my face but today, i fancied a change so i curles them with my ghd's and this time towards my face...live life on the wild side i say! I actually do like the effects the straighteners gave to my curls, they look more natural and beachy! I'm not to sure if i liked curling my hair towards my face though, so i pinned the top section of my hair and ran my fingers through the curls to make them even looser...tight ringlets really don't suit me!

The only products i used were:

James Brown Firm Hold Hairspray

V05 Heat Protectant

Mark Hill Shine and Control Spray

Catwalk TIGI Camera Ready Shiner & Defrizzer

Anyways, must keep this short and sweet as i now have to walk the doggy!

Take care,

Char ♥
