As a professional, it is harder than it looks to create the perfect ponytail on someone. Don’t let it fool you! Products are essential for these runway looks. Whether you want a sleek finish or a messy, textured finish, there is a product for it all. If you/ your client has a lot of baby hair and you’re trying to create a slicked back ponytail; spray a small amount of hairspray around the hair line and comb all of the hair back tight, and then spraying again for security. If you’re creating a slicked back ponytail, using a rubber elastic will help to keep the hair in the ponytail tight and secure. (Sometimes a regular elastic will allow the hair to slip out and loosen). Try to avoid using rubber elastics if you’re going for a textured look because it can sometimes get caught in the hair, which is not pleasant! For finishing any ponytail style, spray/ apply a shine product! You will be surprised how much it can polish up your look! For a light shine, I would use Eufora’s Illuminate Shine Mist because it is very lightweight and it’s an excellent thermal defense product. For a dramatic, sleek, almost wet finish I would recommend Eufora’s Pure Polish Finishing Drops. It’s easy to glam up any ponytail with accessories, a couple of elastics or even leaving some hair tucked into the elastic almost creating a bun and letting the rest of the hair fan out around it. The possibilities are endless! Continue Reading

If you have pin straight hair like me, this effortless beach wave isn’t so effortless…. However, the effort is 100% worth it once you reach beach babe status! The number one product you will need for this look is a sea salt spray. This provides a somewhat rough and grainy coat on your hair that will give you the perfect texture for this look (I would recommend Eufora’s Sea Spritz). You can create this look from wet or dry hair. FOR WET HAIR: After your shower, towel dry your hair and then spritz some sea salt spray all over your hair. Be careful as to not soak it in salt spray or it will dry feeling crunchy. Once you’ve sprayed your hair with the salt spray, split your hair into 4 or 5 different sections, grab each section and twist it around your finger until the base is tight and make a small bun by twisting the hair around the base and securing the bun with two bobby pins by criss-crossing them.
Repeat this for each section. Once all of your buns are secured to your hair you can either apply heat to them with a blow-dryer or leave them in to dry naturally. Once you undo your buns, apply a little more salt spray and shake your hair to separate the waves. If you have very straight hair, scrunch a little curling foam (I use Eufora’s Curl’n Foam) for some structure. Bam! Once it’s fully dry you should have some textured beach waves! FOR DRY HAIR: Spray some lightweight hairspray throughout your hair. Take a 1/1.5 inch curling iron and take diagonal sections of your hair and take turns curling it in different directions for a natural look. Don’t spend too much time curling your hair because the aim is to make is look effortless. Once you’re done curling, shake your hair to separate the curls and spray in some salt spray for extra texture. Voila! Continue Reading

So many women and men spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars a year at salons to cover up their grey hair, and now people are spending hundreds to achieve the icy or slate grey look! I am a huge advocate for this hair colour. It is unique and is so versatile when it comes to formulating the colour. To achieve the perfect grey, it is a lot of trial and error as a stylist. Play around with different products and don’t be afraid to experiment! If you are considering joining the grey movement, there is one con to achieving this hair colour; your stylist will have to lighten (bleach) your hair until it is a level 11, which is basically a white-blonde and then apply the grey/ silver formula. This can be a very damaging and long process and I would recommend that you invest in a good deep conditioner such as Eufora’s Urgent Repair Treatment (available at my salon, Lucido Hair Studio). Please remember that your hair isn’t invincible! If you’re looking for a low maintenance hairstyle, try a rooty- grey! Choose a colour close to your natural for the root area and balayage it throughout your hair along with the grey. It looks amazing if it’s done right, I promise! Join the grey movement!
