Keeping hair beach healthy with NUXE

Hey Sweeties, 

If there's one thing which long hair hates, it's the beach.  All day long with the sun bleaching it, the salt drying it out and the wind ravashing it. It tends to leave it dry, split and for the most part, dead.

This is a bit of a problem for someone like me, as lots of my time is spent in Italy...invariably at the beach.  So to keep it nourished, healthy and rich I slather the ends in dry oil after washing and towel drying my hair.  I've been using NUXE Huile Prodigieuse (link) as it is a super rich dry oil that leaves hair supple and I've found restores it after a day in the elements.

I find that a deep conditioner isn't enough to make my hair feel healthy again, and this oil really seems to add that moisture back.  It smells nice and gets absorbed easily but a word to the wise -  don't put too much in your roots otherwise it will look greasy. Don't worry about overloading it on the ends of your hair though, it will bring it back to life.

NUXE Huile Prodigieuse can also be used on the body, but I personally find it too precious to waste on my skin when it could be used on my hair haha!

Adriatic Coast - my favourite coast in the world

As you can see my hair looks shiny despite being in the sun and sea.  It's been absolutely slathered in oil after washing it the night before.  It made me feel like my hair was being restored and protected and was an absolute holiday must.

NUXE Huile Prodigieuse is available from LoofFantastic for £17.00 (link)

Tutorial: Wavy Hair with GHD's V Classic Styler

Hey Ladies!!

For special occasions I tend to pull out the 'wavy hair' look.  But, it wasn't always so easy discovering how to do it.

For big bouncy curls, I would reccommend curling tongs, whereas for a relaxed, wavy hair look, I've come up with the following tutorial using GHD's V Classic Styler as I think it looks a little more natural whilst adding volume to your hair.

 Tutorial

1.) After washing and rough trying you hair, pin up the top 3/4 of your hair with a hair band roughly where your ears are.
2.) Comb it and spray on a heat protector.  I like BB Spray de Mode (link) as it protects the hair against heat whilst acting as a hair spray to hold the wave in your hair once styled.
3.) Turn on your GHDs and wait for them to fully heat. (Best when even the outter plastic is hot too).  I would recommend *these* as my GHD V classic styler has lasted 3 years and they've been working perfectly to this day.  They are reliable and reach the heat needed  as well as creating lovely round waves because of the barrel shape.  They are also currently £20 discounted.
4.) Taking 1 inch strands of hair, run the straighteners down your hair shaft in a downwards fashion.
5.)Take the hair strand again and when you run down to half wait pause and twist the GHDs 90 degrees so your straighteners are now twisting your hair in a different direction.  Slowly pull the GHDs down at this angle.
6.) This should create a slight wave.  If it is not wavy enough do it again.
7.) When happy with your wave spray it with hair spray and move to the next one.
8) When the first quarter of your hair is done unclip the next quarter and keep doing so until finished.
9) When done run your fingers through your hair to make it look more natural.

And that's it!  Hope this helped!

Let me know if it works for u!
