Spring is also a great time to change the way we wear our hair too, with new colours and styles that will refresh and revamp your hair ready for summer. The dark colours that we saw during autumn/winter are replaced with bright and breezy shades of blonde, either go for a full head of blonde highlights or add some here and there to lighten your colour. From creamy caramel and warm honey tones to bright, platinum white, blonde is back in a big way.

Many designers featured blonde haired models sporting the just from the beach look which is an easy style to recreate. Using ghd sea spray, dry it into your hair to create a matte texture for a distressed beach babe look for day. For evening pick up on the wave trend as seen on the catwalks, this is again anther easy look to create, using your ghd hair straightners insert vertically at the roots, holding the ends of the hair with your free hand. Turn the styler around 180 degrees, gently and slowly pulling it down the hair lengths until you reach the ends.

This look took a hiatus the past couple of years but it’s now back in force, the dishevelled, tousled tresses are updated slightly with a flirty flick of fringe falling above one eye.

This look is easily achieved by scrunching ghd sea spray into damp hair, missing out the fringe also apply ghd obedience cream to the fringe and blow-dry it to the side you can then rough dry the rest of your hair, to finish off the look take your ghd straighteners and going from the root rotating 180 degrees toward the crown and lifting vertically towards the ends and flick out to create a sleek and heavy asymmetric fringe crossing the forehead that kicks out at the ends.

This season the catwalk was awash with texture so you don’t need to put your ghd straighteners or curling irons down just yet. You can go sleek and straight like at Donna Karan or brushed out crimped lengths at Diane Von Furstenberg or rough, matte braids at Alexander Wang. Waves are also back with force with variations seen across the catwalks like Dior or Versace.

These styles can be easily recreated with either your ghd’s or curling tongs to get great glamorous looks like the designers.

Finding a waxing specialist in London

It is well argued that waxing is the best way to remove body hair and it is a known fact that it is an excellent way to deal with most hair removal. Waxing leaves the area smoother than shaving, because it pulls the hair out from below the top layer of skin. This is the easiest and most convenient way to go about removing hair from large areas; it is also longer lasting than shaving the area. Hot waxing works through a thin layer of heated wax is applied to the skin in the direction of the hair growth. The hair becomes embedded in the wax as it cools and the wax is then pulled off quickly in the opposite direction of the hair growth leaving the area clean and smooth.

Because waxing is a specialist treatment, you should find waxing London centre that is established and carries out this kind of treatment on a daily basis. Better still, a waxing London salon would also undertake other beauty treatments and is regarded as a health spa or beauty salon with waxing, facial, massage and other beauty treatments. Waxing in London is not just confined to ladies, it is not uncommon for men to have waxing treatments carried out, particularly those who may have a lot of hair on the back area.
