  • Bad Hair Day

    The ‘Bad Hair Day’. We all have them, we all loathe them and we will all do anything to make them just that little bit better. Let’s face it; even celebs have the occasional off day when it comes to their locks. But why do they exist? Well, sometimes we’re pressed for time, others we just want those extra five minutes in bed and, more often than not, our hair simply won’t do what it’s supposed to! Either way, it’s pretty clear that we could all use some tips on how to tackle those bad hair days without hiding out in the toilets at work or using a hat. So here at The Salon Look I’ve found some go-to products that will spruce up your locks in a flash. They’re so good you’ll be wearing them on good hair days too!

    Fine hair can be a nightecni-art-texture-dust-20g_2tmare when it comes to styling. It seriously lacks volume and, despite our best efforts, it can end up looking flat and lacklustre. For a quick fix, we turn to L’Oreal, which has developed the ingenious Tecni Art Texture Dust. This handy little creation adds texture and movement, leaving a beachy tousled look that will turn your bad hair day right around. Simply slip it in your handbag in case of any hair emergencies!

    However, our number one nemesis has got to be the dreaded frizz! The major cause of frizz is the change in humidity levels, so cold weather, central heating and air-conditioning can all play a key role and wreak havoc! Unfortunately for us these are things we meet on a regular basis in our day-to-day life. But don’t panic, there is an answer! OSiS+ Magic Anti-Frizz Shine Serum tames flyways and delivers weightless hold and separation while adding an instant, light reflective shine to all hair types. It really is, well, Magic!

    April showers - we may love the song but one thing is for sure, we HATE the weather. To combat the problem of the unpredictable British weather why not embrace the wet look right from the beginning by working a blob of Secret Potions Liquid Gold Gelee into your hair and brushing backwards away from the face.

    bed-head-maxxed-out-236mlAlternatively, if you’re avoiding the wind swept look try Bed Head Maxxed Out Massive Hold Hairspray that will not only provide a super strong hold, it also promises to protect your hair from harmful UV rays, which will come in very useful when the sun finally decides to venture out from behind the clouds!

    So ladies, before you panic over your messed-up ‘fro remember, with the right products a bad hair day is always salvageable. Unless you do a Britney and shave your head … you might have to wait a while to sort that one out.

  • Do you dare to bare?

    The temperatures are creeping into double figures and finally we can look forward to spring and, fingers crossed, a nice warm summer! This means only one thing, the prep starts NOW. Avoid that mad panic just before the season starts and ease yourself into a summer body preparation routine. Achieving the perfect summer body is hard work; the standard preparation involves the practice of a healthy diet and a strong focus on exercise. While we would certainly encourage you to adopt those healthy habits we also have a few sneaky suggestions that will help you bid farewell to those winter blues and ensure that you are totally beach-ready! Trust me, come summer you and your body will thank me!

    exotic_island_body_scrubThe first area to target in our transformation to summer goddess is, of course, our skin. After the cold winter months we need to strip away dead skin cells and the quickest and most effective way to do this is with a good exfoliator. Thalgo Exotic Island Body Scrub contains monoï and jojoba oils to help leave your skin cleansed of all impurities. Use the scrub once a week in the shower and rinse off to leave skin illuminated, brightened and enriched with the scents of Tahitian vanilla extracts.

    Next up, banishing those bumps! Don’t be embarrassed, the majority of the female population will, no matter their size, weight or exercise regime, experience the orange-peel effect at some point in their lives. To improve the appearance of cellulite, Thalgo have developed a High Correction Gel, which has been proven to visibly reduce the size and number of dimples in the skin. Continued use of the gel on target areas encourages the reduction of tissue hypoxia - a fancy way to say it fights the formation of cellulite! – which will no doubt raise your confidence when it comes time to whack on that bikini!

    tropez_00110Once your skin is ready it’s time to start working on that tan. Now be honest, who hasn’t had a self-tan disaster? Streaky legs, being left a distinctly ‘Oompa Loompa’ shade of orange, a biscuity scent and unsightly patches have left us all emotionally scarred! But thanks to St Tropez Everyday Gradual Tan you can now breathe a sigh of relief. This self-tan lotion is enriched with Aloe Vera and formulated to build up a light to medium tan over the course of several applications. Now there’s no need to wait for the sun to come out to achieve a natural looking tan with streak-free results.

    My favourite blemish balm (BB) is going to become even bigger this year. The handy product provides an even coverage without the heavy and dehydrating qualities of many standard foundations. Garnier Ambre Solaire BB Face Protection has a tinted formula that will illuminate and even skin-tone, while providing SPF50+ protection from those harmful UVA/UVB rays which can prematurely age skin. Even better, the BB cream is water-resistant so when it comes to hitting the pool you’ll still be able to maintain your look and defend your skin.

    cuticle-care-oilFollow my simple guide and I guarantee you’ll be looking and feeling hotter than the sun by the time summer rolls around!Lastly, but certainly not least, we suggest getting your nails ready for the summer and as most people will be opting for a much-needed splash of colour it is essential your cuticles are in tiptop condition. Luckily for us, Nailtiques have developed a cuticle care oil to soften and seal in moisture giving the perfect base for your summer bright nails ensuring you avoid any unsightly messy varnish jobs.
