New Hair!

Hi guys!
I haven't been blogging for a while because of all the work I had and some other stuff (apartment stuff) that took some time to sort out. Anymays I might have some energy back now when it's all done so hopefully I will be able to blog a bit more now. I want to!

I'm going to start with showing you my new hair =) or it's not that much of a difference but I did cut it quite a bit and I got my highlights done. Oh I love that feeling of newly cut fresh hair!

Review - John Frieda Go Blonder Lightening spray

I bought this when I was in Amsterdam a few weeks ago. I had been wanting this for so long and couldn't find it here in Stockholm. Anyways.. I've been using it since I got it and it definately works!

What John Frieda says:
Versatile, patent-pending formula with citrus and chamomile works with styling heat to gradually lighten and brighten for a natural-looking, blonder blonde. Contains thermo-protectant. Patent-pending technology combines fixative and conditioning polymers that retain hydrogen peroxide, allowing for control of lightening. Visibly lightens in 3-5 uses.

I say:
It has definately made my roots lighter. I have now used maybe 7 times (I don't use hair dryer or flat iron every time I've washed my ahir) and it has made a big difference. The mark between my coloured har and my roots has faded a bit and my roots are not looking as dull as they usually do (you know that greyish rat blonde). You do not need much of the product. I spray about 3 times on my roots and then maybe once lifting the hair on both sides of my face. I did see results in maybe 4-5 uses.
Now they say it has heat protectant in it allready but I always use my Tresemme heat defence anyways, just to be safe =)

Conclution:
I really recommend you giving this a try if you wanna lighten some areas (like the roots) of your hair. Maybe you just wanna maintane the summerhighlight you've gotten out in the sun during summer? I bet it would work great for keeping that sunkissed look for longer =)
5/5

Easy Summer Hairstyle #3

Now, I know I said I was gonna do Easy Summer Hairstyles series during summer, AND summer is almost over. But my camera has really been acting up, it's been rebelling! Finally I managed to take some pictures late last night. I think it's time for a new camera =/ any suggestions??

Anyways here is hairstyle #3

How to:
Take a small front section of hair (or big, depending on how thick you want you braid) on each side.
Leave out the absolute top of your hair. Start braiding. Secure them with elastic bands and then pull 'em back and secure with hair pins or a clip =)

Easy Summer Hairstyle #2

Ok for this hairstyle you have to know how to do a french braid.. They're loads of tutorials on youtube if you don't already know how to do it =)

When you do know how to do it, this hairstyle is quick, easy and cute =)

How to do it?

1. Take the front section of your hair (you can go however big or small you want, I went for  about1½inch-3cm)

2. Start by brading a couple of times just as a normal braid.

3. After maybe 3 times start adding a small section of hair to the top section of the braid. Basically you start adding hair as in a normal french braid just skipping adding to the lower part. Again- only add hair from above and not from below.

4. Stop adding hair just when you've reached your cheekbones. You can now choose to do a normal braid all the way down (lower picture) or just take a hair elastic and seal the "halfway-french braid" =)

Now this doesn't have to be perfect and all neat and smooth.. It's summer it should be careless and free =)

Hope you liked it =)

Easy Summer Hairstyle #1

Hi guys!
Wow long time no see.. I've been super busy with all kinds of stuff so I haven't had time to even sit down with my computer at all.. But it has slowed down now =)

I was thinking of doing some hairstyle posts/tutorial.. As the title says "Easy summer hairstyle".. They're gonna be easy and not take to much time and will be great for a lot of occasions =) I hope you like it!

This is a Go-to hairstyle of mine during summer, it's easy, pretty and girlie =) How to do it?:

1. Wash your hair at night before goind to bed. Braid it in just a normal big braid (or french braid for more curles) and then go to bed letting the hair dry during sleep..
2. Take out the braid and start braiding small braids here and there in you hair. Use a small elastic hairtie.
3. Take the front sections/bangs and take a hairpin and just pin back both of them. Done =)

If you have finer hair that tends to not hold curles, either use a curlingiron or use some hairmousse before braiding your hair when it's damp.  And when you're all done, use hairspray =)
