DIY Natural Hair Mask!


This one is the simple miracle cure. One ingredient. Go buy yourself a nice ripe avocado. Cut it in half, pop out the seed , scrape out the green loveliness with a spoon. I smoosh mine in a bowl with my hands and apply with enthusiasm to your hair. It's fun! Squish squish squish . Massage it in, roots to ends. This is when you get your cling film out and wrap it around your head and hair to contain the green magic. After a minimum of 20 mins, hop in the shower and rinse well! It works! I wouldn't recommend this for those who have fine or limp hair. But those of you with chemical damage, heat damage, general dryness and frizz can use weekly.

Vintage Combs


Check out Oh Faro , home of some amazing frankensteined vintage costume jewellery and hair accessories. Oh I do love anything sparkly that would look delightful poking out of a delicately powdered poofy beehive.

Baby Blue lowlights?!?

Thank you, L'Oreal Professional, for making my dreams of baby blue come true. This is from the Spring Summer 2009 Collection for Luocolor. It's called Poppy Blue I believe and very charming.

Classic works on men too. From the House of Bumble. Dapper Gentleman.

Wedding hair possibility?

Thank Bumble and Bumble for this one. Its beautiful - Sleek, vintage inspired yet very space age-y, and oh so flattering. I think this would be fabulous on a bride because it is so very timeless looking. Not for those who have bangs, or those with very thick hair. It would be amazing on naturally curly hair and could even be adapted to a messy version or a messy french braid version. So lovely!

Musical Inspirations


Last week I saw the new video for Peter Bjorn and John's new single "Nothing to Worry About". I LUFF Japanese street fashion, and I adore the rockabilly vintage look so this was a dream come true for me. I have been trying to convince everyone to let me give them a sky-high pomp. Check out the video HERE

Wayne's World Sunday Photo fun



A few weeks ago, I directed a photo shoot with my lovely friends and colleagues, Patty and Hayley. I have THOUSANDS of photos from the event that I am slowly sifting through, but here are some highlights
PICTURES HERE!!!!

I LOVED this shoot!!!

Would it bother you if your stylist pointed this at your head?

There are just some things that get me every time. This is one of them. The moment I saw it, I wanted it. I saw this incredible blow dryer on my friend Marjo's blog . I still can't figure out if I love it, or if it is ridiculous. Oh well, I still want it! So if you can read Japanese, I need your help ordering this beauty!

I do not support the use of guns in any other way, shooting shit will get you nowhere. The only gun I support other than this is a hair extension gun.
But NEVER underestimate the destructive power of an inexperienced stylist employing an extension gun!
