Hair accessories that don't hurt and look good.


 I’m always so envious of those girls that have that perfect morning hair and it’s even worse when they say they just woke up like that. NO! Okay, it’s not fair.  We can’t all have that amazing straight hair that doesn’t frizz and doesn’t need to be straightened alright! That’s how my hair used to be until I permed it and now I’m sick of this perm. Straight hair, just come back to me, you don’t even have to grow long, just be straight please.

Hair accessories are something every single woman has whether it be a bobby pin to like a do rag/doo-rag/du-rag I guess, I’m not judging, it keeps the sweat of your face, whatever works. Sometime in your life you will use a hair accessory.

A lot of women like to tie their hair up using those hair ties which is great for keeping that hair up and out of your face but after a long day, it leaves a massive kink in your hair and you probably also find that when you brush your hair out or you’re in the shower, there’s a lot more hair breakage because that hair tie is constantly pulling on your hair. You also make it worse when you pull your hair to the sides to get that hair tie tight again.

so pretty, but so painful sometimes.
Headbands are also great for putting that fringe up on hot summer days but with headbands, they   just equate to a massive headache afterwards. You’re just asking for a headache. Try bobby pins instead, the ones that are zigzagged, they grip your hair a lot better. 
When you read wide banded, you probably thought
of those really fat ugly ones right?
 No way there are so many funky styles out there.
Or if you really can’t let go of your love of headbands, take them off once in a while and give that area behind your ears a massage or try those wide banded strapped hair bands.

for the love of claw clips,
 it just makes putting your hair up that much faster.



Everyday hair accessories are great, say you have work all day and for some reason you have to tie your hair up (food prep etc etc) and then night falls you want that hair down to flaunt it or what not but there’s a huge kink in your hair and there’s no hair straightener in sight, not even those mini ones and no you can’t use an iron, because, just don’t. 



A great accessory for your hair is to use one of those massive claw clips that grip your hair without pulling too much. I am in love with claw clips, they’re just better than a hair tie and your hair won’t break off as much you’ll find.

FEEL: NAK bio-marine complex surf styler for "beach hair" review


Here’s a thought guys, if you ever feel like making someone’s day, give them a gift unexpectedly. I love putting together little gift baskets for friends, it makes me feel so happy and will shock that person you give the gift to. I love it, random gift giveaways, I feel like making a random one right now. (Well there’s my random thought for the day)

Guess what I am going to be blogging about today?? Yeahh, it’s my hair again. I feel like I haven’t talked about my hair in a while because I got it cut short and haven’t had to go to a hairdresser in a while.

Alright so to all the ladies out there, this might be you, just keep reading.

Oh good morning hair, why don’t you look oh so flat and lack lusting, no volume, no shape, stubborn, won’t stay in place no matter how much hairspray I put, can’t find my teasing comb, can’t tease it, no oomph, why aren’t these curls sitting right, why does this side curl more than the other, why won’t you stay on this side not the other side fringe! And what’s with the frizz today.

Ever had that? Or some of them? I am not kidding you, the other day my hair was ALL that and bad hair day, that’s my definition right there.

Everything I tried was just not working for me, until dun dun dunnnnnnnnnnnn I tried this baby out.

NAK  bio-marine complex surf styler for “beach hair” 

Oh hair products, sometimes you’re just amazing!

I LOVE this hair product right now, my hair has never felt and had so much volume in my entire medium to long hair existence.

What is it?

Think of it as a hairspray, without actually looking like there is hairspray in your hair. You know that shiny look that just looks rock hard? Not like that at all!
It’s a leave in sea salt styler (formulated with Australian sea salt) for all hair types which gives a natural texture throughout the hair.

Why I love it..

What I love about this is how it gives you that natural look without looking like you’ve gone overboard with the hair products. It gives so much texture and being a leave in styler, it allows you to play around with your hair, whether it be styling an up do or leaving it out for that messy beach look with tonnes of volume that looks so good!

I definitely love it when products claim something and it’s right and it works, this product does exactly what it says, creating texture through your hair, that looks natural and almost like you didn’t even try and it still looks amazing.

It smells like..

Here’s a plus, for anyone who loves the smell of coconut, that’s what it smells like. A whole lot of coconut smelling hair, just don’t overdo it with the spraying because you don’t want to smell like a tropical fruit cocktail now and it’s great because you don’t even need too much of it.

Ways to use it…

Products that give the whole 2 in 1 benefit, is great. I’m not a big fan of hair products that are all like best used on towel dried hair, no, what if I don’t want to wash my hair or I don’t have time. I hate that.

So this is great for both, towel dried hair, just spray it through and let it dry naturally, or blow dry it to give it a bit more oomph loving volume. Or if your hair is dry spray it through to freshen your hairstyle or use it to hold down those frizz bits, (baby hair anyone?) or just to increase the texture even more.

Final thoughts, words, just stuff..

I so love this right now and for anybody who’s like me who has very thick hair at the bottom and lacks volume at the top, give this a go, I was definitely smiling so much that my cheeks hurt.

Happy 4th of July my USA lovers, I’m so sad, this time last year I was right there in LA for the 4th of July. Happy celebrating, think of me, it’ll be the 5th here  for me.
