Swavy hair is so '09.

(That's slightly wavy)
Think a little Gossip Girl, a little beach-y and you've got it pretty much covered.

Polished hair always looks great, but for the daytime,
you need a little edge.
When washing your hair, massage your scalp to boost volume, use a volumising mousse if you must, and blowdry fairly straight.
Then use heated rollers to acheive gorgeous, natural looking waves and
finish off with a spritz of John Freida 'Dream Curls Curl Perfecter' and a little hairspray (Loreal Elnett Satin is favoured by many)
It's an easy look and one perfected by the likes of Blake, Kate, Kylie and this summer, maybe you.
PS: A few blonde highlights look great, if you're not naturally blessed then shop around and ask your hair dresser to put some in.

Spring's Hot Hair Trends.

Elegant Twists.
  1. Gather a small section of your hair from near the front of your head.
  2. Begin to twist and as you do gather very small sections of hair and add to the twist.
  3. Keep going and when you're happy with your twist use bobby pins and hair spray to fix in place.
You can do this on both sides if you wish and pair it either with tousled beachy hair or a loose chignon.
Ballerina Hair.
Think slicked back at the front and hot chignons at the back.
Don't be afraid to let it get a little messy - superneat hair is so 2008!
Shoulder Length Bobs.
Heidi Klum, Kate Moss and Lily Allen have already jumped on this band wagon, and it's set to be a hot hair look for early '09.

Tips For Better Hair.

Like many girls, I spend hours each week washing, brushing and styling my hair, and like many girls I forever wish I could click my fingers and achieve flawless locks.
Unfortunately, that kind of magic just doesn't exist in our world, what does exists are certain tips and tricks that can help you achieve more desirable hair, and I've collected the best of them.

Shine - After shampooing and conditioning rinse your hair through with cold water. It may not be pleasant, but it boosts all-over shine, especially if done frequently.
-Invest in a shine boosting serum and apply it after washing. Botanics Hair Shine Infusion Serum works well and is inexpensive. Charles Worthington Dream Hair also do a variety of products to increase shine.
Anti-Breakage - Instead of brushing through hair after washing go through it with a wide-tooth comb. You can get these at virtually any supermarket and beauty/drug store. Using one of these help reduce breakage when your hair is at it's most fragile.
Frizz Reducing - Your hairs natural oils can prevent frizz and by washing daily you are stripping your hair of them. If you're a daily washer cut down to every two days and you will see a difference.
-Avoid hair products containing alcohol - these dry out and therefore frizz up your hair.
Volumising - When drying your hair with a hair dryer, tip your head upside down and give your roots a quick blast to give your hair some oomph.
-I've discovered that massaging your scalp during washing can help give your hair a volume boost at the roots.
Prevent Grease - Avoid washing your hair everyday as this can encourage your the sebum producing glands in your scalp to overwork.
-You can condition your hair, but make your you only do the ends, not the roots.

I hope you found these tips useful, for information on products, feel free to leave a comment and I will try and get back to your a.s.a.p.
