PRETTY PASTEL

I'm sure you have seen or heard of girls dip-dying the end of their hair in a soft pastel like colour, but nowadays fashion-forward gals are going that one step further and dying their entire locks in this sweet tone. Yes, it does sound like a bold and brave move, but when done right, this look is just to die for! A-list celebrities who pull off this look to a tee include; Katy Perry, Kelly Osbourne and Gwen Stefani.  

Everywhere you click on the fashion web, you are sure to find someone doing this craze justice. With no colour too bright and no pastels too unusual, the opportunities are endless.

HAIR CRUSH | LANA DEL REY

Lana Del Rey is not only swooning us with her dreamy songs and music videos, but also with her whimsical hairdos. She caused a media storm when she sported a sweet 50's inspired hairstyle on the cover of Vogue, March 2013 issue. She was picture perfect and oozed old glamour all around.

So how does one perfect this look? Easy! Here are the steps;

1) Dry off the hair and brush it through.



2) Separate it into sections approximately one inch wide by one inch deep, ensuring they're even all over the head.



3) Use the curling iron on top of the hair rather than under it. This look isn't so much about volume, it's about the wave.

- Twist and wrap each section of hair around the tongs, making sure you get the ends in.



4) Hold each section of hair in the tongs until it "cooks" 

5) you'll feel the heat on the hair. Then release and let the hair set.



6) Take a vent brush and brush through the hair. It's really important it's a vent brush when brushing out a tonged curl as it has holes so won't make the style drop as it would if you used a bristle brush.



7) You'll be left with a Fifties wave. Put in some Elnett spray and a little serum and keep brushing so that more of a wave forms.
