ABOUT MY HAIR - video



I'm always getting questions from you all about my hair, whether I dye it and what I use etc. So today I thought I'd share a video all about it, including a tutorial of these loose beachy waves I'm often sporting. Watch above or click HERE.




Messy, textured hair is my absolute favourite. I've managed to master these simple waves which is very exciting. On another note this cloak has rarely left my shoulders for the last two months, so it's about time I showed it to you all. I'm also making the most of my thigh high boots before the cooler days fade into sunny showers.

DYE HIPSTERS DYE

I officially have unicorn hair and a revamped wardrobe. Dye is glorious for both hair and clothes. Let's start with the clothes. My friend Emily and I tie dyed a bunch of old white t-shirts and primark dresses. Tie dye is a Summer classic and so much fun. I can't wait to show you the other clothes soon! As for hair, mine has pastel streaks running through the ends and I feel like a My little Pony toy and Emily now has pink dip dye! I'd never dyed my hair before this, so I was slightly concerned but it was a spontaneous move as I'd only decided the night before.





We used the Bleach London dyes in the colours The Big Pink, Sea Punk, Blullini and Washed Up Mermaid. They worked so well and we definitely achieved the desired pastel shades by mixing different colours.



Here's a video from my Youtube about how I (well, Emily) did it. You can watch the embedded clip below or click HERE.






So that's how I dyed my hair in this rainbow/pastel/unicorn/my little pony way. What do you think? I am so in love with it and it's perfect for Summer. It fades out in 2-10 washes so it's great if you want to experiment. I'm going to a festival this Sunday and it will work perfectly.

Have you ever dyed your hair? What colour?

MUN - Pictures & vlog

Hello all! Sorry for my absence this past week but the weekend was spent at my MUN conference and the weekdays have been spent catching up on missed work. If you haven't read my last post, MUN is Model United Nations. Each school represents a country and you're assigned a committee where you talk about politics and issues from that country's perspective. I was Saudi Arabia Political committee, which was interesting, especially as I had to talk about womens' rights (and I'm a feminist). I spoke a lot and debated some really interesting issues. I also met so many new people. If you get a chance to do any MUN conference, I would really recommend it! This post is going to be some of my photos from the trip. Also my friend Aliya vlogged it so you can see that here too.


The best part about MUN is the note passing. You write a note to whoever and address it to the country and committee of the person, then the messengers come and take it and deliver it to them. This is how I met Kirsty (above). I sent a note to her about how much I loved her knitted hair bows and her style in general (think kawaii, cute and smart). She replied telling me she made them herself, which I thought was so cool. I asked her if I could photograph them and she kindly agreed so here they are.


I didn't get a chance to take many photos (except for cheesy selfies in Scottish hats) but I did take these slow shutter speed ones when Aliya and I were exploring our hotel at night. At first they were an accident, but then I liked the sci-fi effect and took a couple more.




And finally here is the vlog! Aliya has a great Youtube channel so subscribe okay?



That's my MUN post! I'll be back to regular blogging soon, especially as Easter holidays are just around the corner.

Urban Decay


When I was out shopping the other day I stopped by Urban Decay and this wonderful girl asked if I wanted to try some products. I usually say no to those things due to lack of time and the obligation that you sort of have to buy something, but I did have a voucher so I said yes! I asked if I could take a picture of Jazmin because her hair was soso cool! She seriously looks like some sort of wonderful fantasy creature and I love the colourful take on the ombre hair. Below are some (slightly awkward sorry) pictures of my eyes to show what an incredible job she did (seriously look at that wing it is FLAWLESS). I ended up buying a rosy gold eyeshadow she used as a highlight in my inner corner.





I wish I could do my makeup like that everyday!

Lexi Likes -- Salt sprays for summer beach hair

Hello all!

Long time no talk! Today I want to talk about the L'oreal Matt and messy salt spray. 




So, I'm trying to grow out my hair and I have made a pact with myself to not use heat. I tend not to curl my hair anyway but I am resisting even blow drying my hair and letting it air dry. My recent routine starts with either putting my hair in a messy bun overnight or when it's damp. This gives my hair some body to it. I then use a salt spray to give my hair a real beachy look to it. I have been using this one and I do like it a lot because it doesn't make your hair look greasy or shiny like some other salt sprays. It gives a very nice Matt finish but it can sometimes be a tiny bit sticky. I like to spray it on my fingers and then scrunch my hair like in the picture shown. 



 Then I flip my head upside down and run any leftovers through my roots to give a little bit of volume and bobs your uncle your done! I love this look for summer and it means you can have beachy hair right from your home! 



Ta Dah! Let me know if you try this out!
