The Truth Behind Having Brightly Coloured Hair

Brightly coloured hair can look stunning and definitely make you feel individual amongst a crowd. Now if you've been searching through Google images looking at various amounts of "bright purple hair" or "girls with pastel pink hair" and you've finally found the inspiration picture you were looking for then this is the post for you.

Wella Hair College Competition: Rose Gold Hair

Every year at the college the Hair and Beauty department at Sussex Coast College put on a competition for the students. This gives us a chance to put together a theme and idea to recreate in order to win a price! Feeling very old, this is my 3rd and final year of doing this show and I decided to showcase colour as it is my favourite aspect of hairdressing. 

Men wearing make-up?

Yes lads wear make-up too on set and it's called 'male grooming'. This goes for most media such as TV and photographic purposes, men are getting dolled up to make their skin look it's best. Obviously this is totally understandable due to being exposed in front of god knows how many people plus the world has an obsession with perfectness, don't we. No pores allowed haha. 

How to do: Half and Half Pink and Green Hair!

My Skin Care Routine

I guess your skin care routine should cover the products you use on the whole of your body but I'm just going to cover my face regime for now. The skin care items I use are normally based upon what ever was on offer in Superdrug or Boots at the time so it can change, especially if I haven't become obsessed with a product. Some of these items are things I have tried for the first time, because of that I'll let you know throughout this post what I think of them and for reference I have some god damned oily skin!

Valencia Rose Hair: Worst Customer Service EVER

Being a make-up artist and hair stylist, I am obsessed with all things image related and have been wearing hair extensions since around the age of 12 back when I got my first synthetic pony tail clip in. Since that time I would like to think I have progressed slightly within the world of hair extensions and have gone on to pay hundreds of pounds to find the most luxurious hair within my price region. After religiously following a lot of Youtubers I came across a brand called Valencia Rose who seemed to be getting a lot of praise for their products even from some of the biggest youtubers. One of their main ambassadors (not sure what the proper term would be but we'll call her that) is called Tyme.

I have always thought Tyme looks incredible and she claims to only wear Valencia Rose Hair, no other brand/company so after watching many of her hair transformations I was really eager to get some of their hair. Turns out this was a very big mistake...
