blow dry

They call it ‘backcomb in a can’ and they couldn’t be more right!

My hair is flat, there’s no way around it, it just doesn’t have natural volume so when we got Redken’s Quick Tease into the salon, I jumped at the chance to review it.

Redken Quick Tease

Directions: Spray 8-12 inches from dry, styled hair for control or mist directly onto roots for an enhanced lift.

This spray is absolutely amazing! It really is backcomb in a can, I sprayed it directly onto my root hair line and simply pumped it up with my hands and it stayed in place. Although it can feel quite rough and tough in your hair – it ensures that you have volume throughout the whole night.

I would definitely recommend this to any girl who needed an instant lift – it achieves the same look if you backcomb your hair. My best advice would be to section your hair and spray onto the hairline each time building up volumous layers.

This volumising finish spray boosts the body of any girls hair!

It is so easy to get stuck in routines and just stick with the same hair isn’t it? I wanted some new hair looks that are easy enough to do anywhere!

Here are my favourite three:

1. Vintage tuck

This up-do is not only super cute but also super easy!

• Place a headband over hair that is down. Just over the tops of your ears.
• Starting at the front of your hair, take a piece of hair one inch thick and tuck it under the head band. Repeat until the whole section of hair is tucked under the headband
• Simply repeat the whole way round the headband until all your hair is tucked into the headband

Vintage Tuck

Voila! This is a vintage boho look. It also doesn’t matter if it isn’t perfectly neat - sometimes its better that way!

2. Fishtail plait

The fishtail plait is such a nice modern take on the traditional three strand plait. You can either have the fish tail plait on the side, like a French plait at the back, in two bunches – however you like

• First, split the hair into two sections, and continually take one section from each side to the other
• Watch this tutorial for more info http://bit.ly/1ip8jwz

Top tip: the smaller the sections you take over to each side, the more intricate the fishtail plait will look.

3. Messy bun with underside plait

A nice addition to the popular messy bun look

• Tip hair upside down, and start French plaiting underneath
• Secure the plait with a hair band
• Create messy bun as usual

Messy Plait Bun

Now this one did take me quite a few practices and it might not be perfect first time but keep trying! Once you do these looks once, they get easier each time!

I wanted to see if using expensive shampoo can really make a difference to your hair. My hair always feels amazing after going to the hairdressers, and I wondered if it was because of the shampoo and conditioner they used, as well as the professional styling afterwards.

Redken Blonde Glam Range

I decided to use the same brand that I have use in the salon - Redken, and this time I wanted to try the Blonde Glam shampoo and conditioner.

The smell of both products is amazing, a really lovely scent. I found it clung to my hair for ages after I washed it too.

The consistency of both the shampoo and conditioner is much thicker than a cheaper one. Especially the conditioner, its much thicker than normal conditioners I have used before and this made it feel much more luxurious, and more of a rich mixture. It felt more oily than other conditioners, but I have dry ends so this worked wonders on me.

After washing and drying my hair, it felt super soft and nourished. For years I thought there wouldn’t be any difference in the result from a cheap against an expensive shampoo – I was wrong. I really love the Redken Glam Blonde range and will definitely be buying it again.

Try the Redken range and see what you think – I hope you love it just as much as I do!
