Updo Accessories

Leaving in around two months for South East Asia, This hot weather we're having has got me thinking about hairstyles for hot weather. My hair goes flat and lifeless in heat and humidity and as a result its better if I style it in and updo for the day and set it with a lot of hairspray.  

I get a bit bored of putting it in a ponytail, plait or bun and not being very inventive or good with hair I've been looking at ways to accessorize simple hairstyles. 


Limited Edition Premium Burst Jewel Hair Brooch, £35 at ASOS




This hair clip from ASOS is a little bit pricey compared to similar pieces out there but it is beautiful and has that art-deco feel to it. It would look great in the evenings but is maybe a little too sparkly for everyday use.

Dry Shampoo Review - Leo Bancroft Rapidly Revived Dry Shampoo

For the past couple of years I've been having to wash my hair daily to keep it looking mildly presentable. However, a couple of months back I decided enough was enough! I was going to train my hair so that I could leave it for a couple of days and have a longer lie in the mornings.

At first it was terrible having to scrape my hair back and hope that no one saw me on the second day (I'm a hair down kind of girl). Eventually, after about two months I found it more bearable and I didn't have to wear my hair up for the second day.

The last month has marked a turning point - I found dry shampoo! Yeah, I know I'm a bit late on this one but I had used batiste in the past and just couldn't stand the smell. I knew how great everyone else had been finding dry shampoo (the added volume being the main plus point) so I headed down to the shops to find some dry shampoo that wasn't batiste and didn't smell anything like it either.




I ended up finding this Leo Bancroft Rapidly Revived Dry Shampoo at Tesco and oh my god have I been missing out!!! It's got a light, fresh scent - not overpowering and actually quite nice . Most importantly - it works. I can even get three days out of washing my hair if I need to and it gives it great volume. What's not to love?

I even get more time for sleeping!! I would seriously recommend giving this a try!

This Leo Bancroft range is exclusive to Tesco so you'll have to head down there to try it. At the moment it's 2 for £6 on the range - perfect excuse to try something new!

The whole Leo Bancroft range looks quite good, may have to try a few more bits!
