FRIDAY FAVE! got 2b POWDER'ful

Have you tried using hair powder for texture and volume? If not you should absolutely try it!

Definitely one of my favourite methods for creating root lift and achieving voluminous texture in up-dos, waves and braids.

I like the fact you can shake the product to distribute it, in my experience the spray power versions available gradually block up the spray-pump and stop working.

Apply a small amount (a little goes a long way) to the hair roots for volume and root boost. 

This can be applied to the palm of the hand gently rub hands together and work through the hair roots or shake directly from the bottle to the roots and work into the hair with fingers.

got2b POWDERful is my go-to product for this!  It is a a vegan powder that adds texture to the hair to provide long lasting hold and volume and is also much more reasonably priced than some of the others on the market (RRP £5.65). Available to purchase on Amazon, Tesco, Boots and Superdrug.

A definite "Friday Fave!".

Pro Tip! Shake a little of the powder directly to the root of a small section of hair and gently back-comb each section for stronger hold and added volume, to finish set with hairspray.
 

FRIDAY FAVE! Schwarzkopf got2b GLUED blasting freeze hairspray

got2b GLUED blasting freeze hairspray.

This has been a staple in my kit for years now, if you are looking for a strong hold hairspray without hair feeling crunchy this is the spray for you!

Easily spotted in its bright yellow can this is often seen in any pro' hairstylist's kit bag backstage and on set. It is a go-to reliable choice for strong lasting hold without stickiness and flaking.

The best bit! It is super affordable often found under £5.00 and is easy to purchase in Tesco, Boots Superdrug and many others.

For me it is essential for long lasting and well set curls for my Brides.

It is quick drying and brushes out of the hair easily, with a light citrus scent and is a vegan formula.

This product is great for helping to achieve and hold extreme hairstyles even in challenging conditions such as humidity and wind...  Spiked styles, sleek updos, taming flyaways you name it ...this hairspray is all you need.

Pro Tip! For max hold and zero church layer the application. A light spray, let it set for around ten seconds, then add a second light spray. This tried and tested method builds a strong yet flexible hold- perfect for styles that need staying power without looking stiff.

A cult favourite and definitely a "Friday Fave!"

November Update!

Finally out of crazy wedding season what a year it has been! I have just had a few weddings this month so have tried to take some down time after what has been a treadmill of a year so far! I am so lucky I absolutely love my job it helps with the back breaking exhaustion of carrying heavy kit and standing all day, not to mention some of the ridiculously early starts! I am grateful everyday for every client that chooses to work with me and I really do give 110% to each and every one of you.  I actually have a couple of weekends off this month and intend to fully make the most of them!

Below is one of my gorgeous November Brides that I styled hair and make-up for at Milling Barn https://www.millingbarn.co.uk.

Lots of my recent hair work below, its funny I find it so much easier to get hair images than make-up ones, the majority of people are not so keen on photographing their faces as opposed to the black of their head!  I also do a lot more bridal hair styling than I did ten years ago which I am also enjoying, part up part down styles are definitely my personal favourite.

I am currently receiving a high volume of wedding enquiries for 2023 and 2024! Do book early to avoid disappointment, I now have very limited availability in Jan, Feb, May, June and August next year.
