Tip Tuesday

Although we adore the beach look and some rough curls, there really is nothing better that a super sleek style. 

For seriously straight hair we've been using TIGI's Bed Head Straightening Out Cream. 

Simply spray evenly throughout damp hair

To obtain a great finish blow dry your hair to smooth the cuticle, work section by section to avoid damaging and prepare yourself for 48 hours of smooth stunningly straight hair. 

The Comb

In the last of our hair tool series we're bringing you the comb. Coming in a variety of widths and lengths the comb is a classic, not only is it crucial in the salon but can be a great tool for your pocket or bag, to whip out and fix that fly away hair.

Along with width and number of teeth combs are created with various material, some are metal and some are plastic. It's important to find the right comb fit for your hair type as well as insuring it's sturdiness.

A medium tooth comb is great for everyday use for hair that is not too thick. If you have super thick hair, try the wider tooth combs for every day use.

Top Tip: Never use a fine tooth comb to detangle dry hair, for detangling check out our post from earlier in the series here 

Pixie or not to Pixie

That is the question...

Summer's on its way and with the changing of the seasons we're all thinking of some new looks for our locks. The pixie cut is always a popular one in summer, it's seemly simple and alongside some great products it really can be effortless...BUT... there are some things to consider because there are factors that can make what seems to be an effortless look into the most time consuming one. We've compiled a four point list for you to consider before you take the cut, pop into salon for a consultation with these in mind...

1. Are you really ready to cut those locks? If you've spent years growing your locks we'd hate for you to regret it, make sure you're 100% ready for the chop!

2. Lifestyle & Time - Do you have time to style and maintain your look? This is crucial and something you must discuss with your hairdresser and they'll tailor your cut to your lifestyle

3. Texture of Hair - This can really determine whether a pixie cut can work for you, your hairdresser can give you all the info on your hair type and its suitability. 

4. Face Shape- Similar to your hair's texture there are some face shapes that won't cut the short look as well as others.
