Yucky!!!

With me having long hair, I tend not to brush or comb it and I don’t mind the odd dreads forming now and again, which tend to make my hair look thicker anyway…. but after coming across these disgusting monstrosities, I promise  never to let it go too far, Eww I would hate to think what could be living in there!!!

My Recent trip to Hong Kong…

For my recent trip to Hong Kong, I must admit that I was fairly excited to go and check out the street fashion and hairstyles over there. Armed with my camera and i-phone my aim was to capture lots of different looks to show on my blog.

After all it was only 4years ago (pre-blogging days) that I was last there and spotted all these youngsters who were dressing a lot like the trendy Japanese kids, Blonde long hair, full on Goth make up and ultra trendy outfits that would fit right in in Yoyogi Park!

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

But to my dismay, I found Hong Kong fashion to be very tame and conservative this time around, very ‘office like’ is how I would describe it. Granted, I did not go out clubbing and looking for the hipsters that may have been hanging out in the trendy bars and clubs late at night, for sure I would’ve come across some then, but I wanted to see normal day street fashion.

Thankfully, I did take a trip over the border to Shenzhen and my good friend Danny took us to the O.C.T. Lofts, (Contemporary Art Terminal), it was here that I at least found afew good-looking hipsters that looked abit more interesting. In amongst the nice cafes, art gallery’s and book stores, I was surprised to find that this part of China was so into their art and trendy furniture and cafes, so along with it, some creative people. I finally got my camera out and took one picture of a young girl perched on a bench with her head buried in one of their forbidden books.

Hoping to add to my photo collection from then on, I failed miserably as everywhere I went I found mainly people from Mainland China with their huge suitcases coming over to shop in Hong Kong, keeping the Prada and Louis Vuitton stores in business. This trip showed me yet again that no matter how much money you have to shop in these places…Money can’t buy you style! In fact it became abit of a game as I tried to spot the tourists from the Mainland, the biggest giveaway unfortunately was the tacky dress sense.

So out of it all came this short article to try and make up for the lack of pictures showing you what was happening in style and fashion in Hong Kong and China and I hate to report – Not much is happening, but enjoy these tourist pics instead…

Interesting trip – Politically but not fashionably…Sigh, better luck next time….

My New Packaging : )

 I’m very proud to present to you my new bottle packaging… Have been looking around for quite some time for a better applicator and was lucky enough to be introduced to this one by my manufacturer. Was lucky this time around and had no problems with printing of the bottles either.. must be on the right path!

Now,  Texture Powder Styler is even easier to apply, just simply lift up the hair at the roots and squeeze and pump the middle of the bottle, the powder dispenses evenly and finely onto the roots, in fact its so fine that you don’t even have to rub it into the hair like before….

Give yourself sexy hair with body and bounce or just don’t wash your hair so often and use the powder to absorb the oils instead.. visit us on our SHOP page for our new Roto Powder Pump Dispenser.

My Pick ~ Eugene Souleiman

Time and time again, I randomly pick out visions and styles that impress me or that attract my attention and these days I really shouldn’t be so surprised when yet again I have chosen to showcase another or Eugene Souleiman’s (from Wella) creations.

That man is talented big time!! I LOVE his work and even though shown here (from Marie Claire magazine) is a very classic simple style, he always manages (with the help of the photographer and make up artist of course) to creative an artistic quirky unique look. Keep up the good work, its lovely to follow….

Comb-overs and all…

Is this look really better than taking it all off? Still cant understand why men wear it this way.. what about a windy day?

And while were talking about windy… Why does Donald Trump insist on wearing his hair like the toupee look? I mean this is what happens..

Nina Khazani

I found this artist From the Royal College of Art 2012, who works with cut hair and thought her work was very unique.  Whether you think of it as slightly creepy, you cant help but admit it is very creative. Strange to think that many people think of their own hair as their crowning glory but detached and to actually wear someone else’s on you, I think a lot of people might not want to go there.. right?  Here are some great images that shows hair used as a different  art form as shown by Khazani.

Here is an intro from her own blog/webpage:

A hairy tale

I believe that hair inherits power and beauty and is the ultimate garment growing from within us. It is part of our body,
and therefore part of our identity, it helps us to differentiate ourselves as individuals yet at the same time it is changeable and detachable.
It is beautiful and soft and yet stubborn to work with. It likes to go its own way but so do I.
Sometimes the perfect hair seems to last only for a moment.
Its always in movement and undergoes various transformations. I gain pleasure of controlling it and transforming it into living objects and jewellery.
Through my work I intend to tell stories and evoke emotions by capturing a moment of beauty and making it last longer than a glimpse of time.
