Scunci Insta Twist

When it comes to my hair, I can be quite lazy with styling it. I'm very guilty of simply brushing it before I head out of the door, with no further thought to how I could make it look that little bit more interesting. I've never been very good at braids or fishtail plaits, much to my dismay as they can look so pretty, alas, they are just to fiddly for my little hands! However, when I was recently introduced to the Insta Twist by Scunci, we became instant BFF's!

This clever little contraption helps you to create perfect twists which you can incorporate into endless hairstyles. I was a little sceptical at first after tying similar looking braiding tools when I was a child, none of which I had any success with, so I was kind of expecting this to just tangle my hair up to be honest! But no, even on my first go it miraculously worked.

Curious as to how it works? well i'll tell you! You simply take a section of hair (this can be large or small) and split it into two. Then you clamp each section under the red clips on either side. You then press the button upwards which individually twists the 2 sections. Then simply push the button downwards to twists the 2 pieces of hair together in the opposite direction.

As I mentioned before, I am useless at plaits and braids, so I have tried to do twists like this before by hand, but the twists always seem to unravel. This manages to keep everything held neatly together, so you can just secure it with a clear band or hair grips.

Another thing I love about this product is it's battery operated, so would be great to take to festivals or on holiday this summer and create some beautiful boho styles on you and your friends. And it's kind to your hair as it's completely heat free!

The Scunci Insta Twist is available at Superdrug and costs £29.99. Also check out their You Tube channel where they demonstrate how to create some awesome styles including milk maid braids and fishtail twists! I can't wait to try out some more styles, All I need now is a festival to go to!...

Have you tried the Insta Twist yet? What styles would you create with it?

BaByliss Diamond Waves Wand

I always feel happiest with my hair when it's freshly curled, but i'm often looking for a slightly softer, wavy look, rather than the big, bouncy curls that my curling wand gives me. The new BaByliss Diamond Waves Wand is the perfect hair tool for achieving beautiful, tousled waves. The Diamond infused ceramic barrel is really unique and specifically designed to give you soft, shiny kink free waves.

To achieve this look I simply split my hair into sections, and wrapped my hair around the contours of the wand away from the face and gently brushed it through for a softer look. Then I added a spritz of hairspray and it was done!

My hair looked really healthy afterwards and the wand really helped to tame my usually frizzy, dry hair. The waves also lasted in my hair all day. The wand heats up really quickly and goes up to 210c with 4 different heat settings, so it's great for all hair types. I'll definitely be using this a lot through the summer to cheat some natural looking beachy waves. I think the price point is great at just £30 and there are also straighteners, which I can’t wait to try and a hair dryer in the range which you can take a look at here: http://www.babyliss.co.uk/diamond-en-2/

What's your current favourite hairstyle?

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Light Deep Treatment Mousse

For the longest time I was convinced that the more shampoo and conditioner I put on my hair, the cleaner and softer it would be. I mean using half a bottle of conditioner has to be beneficial right? Wrong! Very recently, I learnt that less really is more when it comes to washing and conditioning your hair. I found it hard to believe that just a small amount of product, made my hair feel 100 times lighter and fresher after washing it, with no build up on my scalp after. I felt rather silly to have only just realised this to be honest!

I have to admit, that since this discovery, I've been a little put of using deep conditioning treatments, however I recently came across the Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Light Deep Treatment Mousse, and I have to say it ticks all the boxes for me. It is targeted towards thinner hair, as it's a lightweight product that won't way the hair down, and although, I have fairly thick hair, this is exactly what i've been looking for.

You simply use your shampoo and conditioner as normal, (in my case a 50p sized amount) and then  follow with the Aussie 3 MM Light Deep Treatment Mousse which, as the name suggests, you leave in for 3 minutes and rinse out. Voilà! soft, nourished hair without that heavy, oily feeling!
