Giving my locks a new lease on life at Live & Let Dye

I had the pleasure of visiting Live & Let Dye salon in Mount Eden yesterday, for a colour appointment with Kirsty.  It was my first visit to Live & Let Dye, and I am pleased to report that my experience was wonderful!  I went in not really knowing what I wanted – which as I am sure you will have figured out by now is very unusual for me – and had a good chat to Kirsty and Michelle about what was important to me in terms of colour (low maintenance, because I’m a student and can’t afford to colour my hair as often as some looks require and something that will grow out okay without announcing to the world that I haven’t had my colour done in *ahem* five months).

You might think my hair naturally looks this fabulous, but no! It’s the magic of Kirsty at Live & Let Dye in Mount Eden, Auckland.

That’s right, I hadn’t coloured my hair in five months. Oh how my life has changed! The reason I decided to colour it again after so long is that I really like the way a fresh colour leaves my hair looking glossy and healthy. View Post

How to get tousled beach hair (without going to the beach)

I love the way my hair looks after a day at the beach, all tousled and wavy and gorgeous, but I don’t like the way it feels.  To get tousled beach babe hair without stepping foot in the surf, follow these easy steps to surfer chic.

1. Work a curl enhancing product like PPS Beach Styler through dry hair to ensure that your style will hold.

2. Part your hair down the centre, and braid into two plaits (one on either side of your head) and secure with a small hair tie.

3. Twist one braid away from your face and twist a straightening iron on to the hair in the same direction your braid is twisted. Repeat this all the way down the braid, but make sure you don’t do this over the hair tie or you will get a weird crease at the bottom of your hair. Do this on both braids, and then repeat.

4. Once your hair has cooled, remove the hair ties and finger comb the braid out. You should now have gorgeous tousled hair!  You can either leave it down or style it up.
