Everyone Wants Wavy Hair

Simple Styling   Create a "barely there" wave yourself by applying a mousse or leave-in conditioner to damp hair and comb it smoothly through. Then twist when it up away from the face and pin it to let it dry in place. For long thick hair this will create loose waves when you unpin the dry hair.



















 Slightly tricky   Many ladies prefer to add a bit of texture and wave by using their hair straightener to create curves and curls and flicks in the hair.
Depending on the length and thickness of your hair and the angle at which you curve the straightener you can create a variety of different effects.

A bit trickier   A loose wavy/curly style can also be created with the use of a large barrel curling tong. Taking long sections about 10cm wide horizontally, the hair is wound around the barrel of the tong and set in place away from the roots to avoid creating volume at the roots. To set the hair nicely before combing the style out, remove the barrel of the curling tong and pin the barrel created by the hair against the scalp until it cools down. Once all the hair has been curled and cooled. Let it loose and comb out smoothly for the wavy effect.

Making Waves |

I was feeling like I've neglected my blog over the last month so started browsing through the pics I've collected on tumblr and was freshly inspired by the gorgeous 1950s-inspired waves.

A few weeks back I bought a large barrel curling tong (32mm) and I've been loving the styles one can create with it - transforming one's hair into classic sophistication and beauty :)

 Straight from my tumblr collection... here are some of the inspiring pics...

Charming, girly, princess-style, yet lady-like.
Exquisite, Right?
So glam :)
Some old school inspiration



Magical...
So Jessica Rabbit!

 SA Sweetheart Jeannie D, a perfect match with Garnier
Jeannie D, of the popular South African lifestyle show Top Billing, has been chosen to endorse Garnier Nutrisse for their upcoming Brown Animation winter range according to her Facebook page. The range consists of "three new copper shades with notes of deep mahogany and glimmering gold."

She is an undeniably a great match for this beauty campaign, with her charming nature, poise and lush, gorgeous deep brunette hair.

Jeannie's Style
Her current hairstyle is very romantic and feminine with long waves and soft, big curls - the kind of hair many woman dream of waking up with, though we know in reality it can take lots of work to look like that.
