Streak of Genius






So we've seen it on the runway at Proenza Schouler, on several of Gaga's wacky look and of course, on the kooky Olsens, now we're seeing it on the streets of Edinburgh. Pastel tones are key for summer in shades of lilac, pink and aqua. Ask your colourist for flashes of pastel tones to be sprinkled throughout your hair, on the lower layers for a subtle peek-a-boo effect.

Nu Wave


Sexy waves are key for summer, loose and long, or short and choppy. Creative Director Colin McAndrew said: “When tv presenter and fashion trailblazer Alexa Chung chopped off her locks she instantly developed a whole new shade of sophistication. The shaggy bob with lots of texture and an effortless finish is here to stay. This style can be worn smooth for versatility, but the choppy and relaxed look is perfect to take you from day to night.

If you like to keep it long, Colin said: “For those with long hair, the same principle applies – wear it loose and relaxed with long tumbling waves. Curls and waves are beachy, with that classic model look of centre partings remaining popular. Think Gossip Girl Blake Lively, Jennifer Aniston, Lauren Conrad and the Olsen Twins with their glamorous and slightly messy styles."

GET THE LOOK

To get this look if your hair is already straight, roughly blow dry your hair and section it before twisting your hair into ringlets. Then secure them with hair clips and allow to cool. Remove the grips and gently run your fingers through the curls to reveal flowing waves. Finish with some Sebastian Re-Shaper Hairspray for strong multi blend hold. This multi tasking product will also capture the movement and keep it in place from day to night.

Hero Product - Sebastian Mousse Forte


My good friend and super stylist Kym Wyser of the Teviot salon tells me this is the product of the moment - Sebastian Mousse Forte for structured volume.

The Whitney Port style relaxed waves are sticking around and sadly not everyone has naturally beautiful beachy hair. Use Mousse Forte on damp hair, diffuse or blow dry using a round brush for accentuated waves that will last all night long.




Best in show (almost)


So fans, did you know I came 2nd in my first ever dog show! How amazing is that? I must say, it's not bad for a first timer. I obviously need a little practice but watch this space for more tales of Coco on the competition circuit!
