Put your hands together with us and welcome back the scrunch.
It’s the 80’s but not as you know it.
Lets explain, the scrunch is not a dance but one of the simplest ways to get natural texture into your hair with minimal fuss.
First your gonna need that big round thing that came with your hairdryer, it’s called a diffuser and is probably in some random cupboard. So find it, attach it to your dryer and your basically ready to go.
It gives straight hair a boho wave and curly hair volume and movement without encouraging frizz. You need to remove the majority of moisture then apply your fave lotion or mousse, face the diffuser up to the sky and place your hair in the dish.
Have your dryer on medium blow and watch magic happen. Your hair needs to be 90% dry then apply your finishing product by scrunching the hair again upward in fist fulls to encourage curl.
A light spray, again upward to hold the curl wouldn’t go astray.
It truly couldn’t be easier! Even the 'Can’t be arsed in the morning' brigade can join in. Which brings us to our next topic.
Gym Hair- Yes we have discussed this before but summer is nearly here so let's recap.
Please do not base your potentially beautiful hairstyle on what it does on the treadmill. It’s very rare that slicked back hair is gonna look good on your weekend.
The modern women requires sexy and feminine hair. This means softness, layers and possible fringes. So in your pump class you utilize headbands, clips, caps, whatever makes you comfortable, heck who looks great with a pink face and sweaty hair anyways. These things were invented for moments like these and then boo-yah- still have your hotness for your actual life.
Lets hope the weather continues especially for the Grey Lynn Festival!

Low Maintenance Please!
Hi all,
We were a bit worried that things would be slower with baby Nina on the scene and Mimi only working 2 days but we haven’t missed a beat. Personally and professionally, we’re jammed!
I want to talk about Low Maintenance hair today as I had some new clients last week that seemed to have had a hard time getting a hot look when their lifestyle had changed. There was a lot of talk of “I don’t have time with the kids” or “ I work out everyday”.
This is life and so understandably women want a haircut that works, is easy and looks great.
A low maintenance hairstyle can be achieved through a good cut. Think mid-length layers and face framing to complement bone structure.
You might want to take your length up, maybe slightly shorter at the back than the sides this gives a sharp side profile. Choppy fringes are an asset as they modernise your look and grow out well. Then it’s product, product, product!!
Always use shampoo and conditioner to suit your needs so you’re smoothing frizz and adding volume from this first step.
Blast your hair dry and throw in some slightly sticky, creamy shiny product to make the most of the haircut and a low maintenance, versatile do is yours!
Tip: Don’t wash your hair everyday, even if you workout.
Dry shampoo’s are available from your chemist, you spray into the roots of dry hair and voila! You’re freshened up and ready to go.
Alternatively just blast your hair with your hairdryer, add some more product and re-style.
