The penultimate day left in this week's Hair diaries. I will miss the fun trying all these looks has brought, but one thing for sure is that I will not miss the extra 20-30mins it takes to get ready for work, trying to get this all looking half decent. Today's look is in homage to my ultimate desire to have big huge hair...like Afro big! Alas, that I was not blessed with so my sporadic trips to the salon and convince my friends there to tong my hair had to fill the void. So today I present to you...The BIG Hair...with a parting.

Always a favourite of mine, and one of the things that confirm that growing out my hair long was a good idea. Today's hairstyle is...The Side Braid.
So all of yesterday, in the back of my mind I was thinking about what I should do for today's hairstyle. It definately was going to be a 'down do' as I needed to wash my hair but what could I do not to make it boring. Then, POP, I thought of it. Today will be...the Bettie Page.
In one of my past lives I used to work in a hair salon, well actually it was just a year ago and it was one of the best places I worked. One thing for sure was that my hair always looked bomb. The 2 and half years I was there was the best place to be when trying to grow out a youthful punky disposition which physically manifested itself into a layered bob with an undercut. Sitting at the reception and running around doing salon checks meant getting exposed to the process of how to do all these cool hairstyles and see how they were created. I was also blessed in the fact that in my lunchbreaks or if stylists had a quiet day I could get my hair done by some of the best in the industry. Not bragging but who else could say that the same stylist who has done my hair has tended to the likes of Natalie Portman, Kate Moss and Agnes Deyn, not many!
So anyway, back to now. Well with that under my belt I thought I would revive my love of the 'hairstyle'. My new office doesn't quite lend itself to inspiring me to toussel, crimp or curl as much as it did then so admittedly my now super long hair has just gone to the wayside. I kid myself and say it's the beach girl, just got out of bed style but it's just laziness. So this week, starting Monday 7th Feb 2011, I will be styling my hair each day inspired by a fashionable hair trend. So far day one has been successful. Today we have...The ballerina bun. Picture by Me. I would probably have to admit that my ultimate career desire in life would to be an Ethical and Fair trade stylist, and boutique owner. Saying that too, it is not only in apparel that I would want to exercise this in but in all stages and contributions. So I was thinking about ethical and organic skin care.
I have read numerous scary stories about the chemicals being absorbed into our systems from skin scare products alone, one stat stated that in one year alone the average woman would absorbed up to 5lbs of chemicals from make up. Eeeeeek! So with the want of killing two birds with one stone, one actually building and maintaining a good skincare routine and two, being more consumer aware in terms of the products ethical standards AND chemical stances, I looked around to see what was out there. When I did, I found, RMS Beauty. |
