Woman Crush Wednesday - Hilary Duff

 I have been a fan of Hilary Duff for many a year. Ever since she rocked my Disney TV afternoons as Lizzie Mcguire and has since developed in to a beautiful lady...

She started young and adorbs alongside Casper the friendly ghost 

In Lizzie Mcguire world she had time to make her hair look as awesome as this before school even started!

She's not shy of a bold lip colour 

She looks great in hats

Beautiful blonde or brunette 

Her perfect teeth

She co-created this handsome little person 

She is a queen of casual

This guy loves her too!!

Now, let's all take 3 minutes out of our day to watch this beautiful lady roll around on the beach with a beautiful man while singing a beautiful song

Schwarzkopf Beach Matt Salt Spray

So, as we have learnt from previous posts my hair is straight, straight, straight and I am forever trying to give myself more volume. 

I do find that this spray works in giving my hair more texture and a bit more oomph!

I start with towel dried, shower fresh hair. 

I use the spray alllll over, loads of it, roots through the lengths and give it a quick brush through. My hair dryer comes with a diffuser attachment so I clip that on and then dry my hair upside down for as long as I can stand.

I shove as much as I can in the attachment so it dries at different rates.

Result- massive hair!!

As I'm not used to having so much hair going on, I have chosen to pull the top back and secure it with some pins.

Make up done, changed and ready to go!

Has anyone else used a salt spray? How did you find it, and is there a better one on the market?

A Poofy Plait

I am a big fan of quiffy hair-dos and am always trying to get more volume in my hair and finding quick easy styles that suit me. Last night the girls and I went out for a few drinks and a catch up, only to the pub, a casual affair but it's still nice to make an effort!

I didn't want my hair freshly washed, as it would all just fall flat, so I sprayed it through with some Batiste dry shampoo in the cherry scent (it's not very cherryie!) and brushed it through with a soft brush.

I put the top section of my hair in a clip and ties the rest back out of the way.

Starting at the back of the top section, back comb the roots to create volume. Leave the very front bit to hide the backcombed mess and create a smooth effect.

Secure at the back with some Bobby pins and use a good lashing of hair spray to smooth down fly aways and help it to stay in for the evening. 

 Ta-da! What do you reckon?

I wish I had had a clear or smaller band as this blue one is a bit big! I think it looks slightly Elsa-esq from Frozen, some one also told me I reminded them of Jennifer Lawrence...but I'm pretty sure they were drunk and had no idea what they were talking about!
