Good morning sweetiepies :) I have a wonderful day ahead of me. First I’m going to work on my styling project and take a good round through my email and answer everything that I haven’t answered yet (you wouldn’t believe how many emails I get in a day!!), then I’m off to a fabulous store which sells a variety of fabrics with my cousin, then I’m going to the movies with a friend later. A pretty good day, especially since I can cruise around in my new car (or at least mine for the week). I just love that car, it even matches my nail polish! And believe it or not, it wasn’t even planned!! Haha. Anywho, I keep getting questions about my hair, so I thought it was time to show you my all time favorite products, and two quick tutorials on how I usually do my hair. My lifesaver hair product right now, which I just can’t live without, is this dry shampoo from Batiste. It’s so freakin’ good! Since I have long and thick hair, washing it and blowdrying it is so time consuming, so I prefer washing it every three or four days. My hair gets oily very quickly, so I always turn to these. I actually usually spray on some dry shampoo even when my hair is just washed, just to get that matte look that I like. The dry shampoos from Batiste come in different colors, so whether your hair is brown, blonde or red, or you just want a transparent one, these are perfect. If you use it, remember to brush well through your hair, especially if you use the one with color in it. Can be found at Vita, and costs around 70kr.

Then we have my brushes. The big round brush is for blowdrying. It actually heats up, so the whole drying session goes faster. It’s called ‘Touché 135, by Spornette‘. The other hair brush in the first picture I just love, especially because of the tip which I use to part my hair with. It’s called ‘Ceramic + ion thermal brush‘ by Olive Garden.

In the next picture, we have the Joimist Firm finishing spray from Joico, which I use after curling my hair. I also try to use the FlatOut heat protector from KMS before blowdrying and curling. The brush in the picture is my favorite brush, it’s just perfect for teasing. My hair is naturally totally flat, so I always need a good tease to get some volume. The tip is also perfect for parting my air on this one. It’s called ‘9000 Reine Borsten‘ from Hercules Sagemann. Highly recommended!

Then we have my curling tools. I almost always curl my hair, because it’s just so damn flat when it’s straight. How much I curl it depends, usually I just go for natural waves. I definitely use my GHD straightening iron the most, because it takes so little time to get pretty curls. I can seriously curl all of my hair in three minutes, and the result holds until the next time I wash my hair.

If I have a little more time, I like to use the 32mm Bjorn Axén curling iron from OBH Nordica. I think the result is prettier with this one, but it’s a bit more time consuming.

I got some questions about my hair on Friday, it was really voluminous and shiny, with natural waves. Here is exactly what I did, and I also made a little tutorial on how I do my hair for everyday looks.

Then a few additional tips. If your hair is smooth and straight like mine, it can be hard to get volume. What I sometimes do if my hair just won’t cooperate, is that I lift sections of my hair, spray a little hair spray on the roots, then tease with my teasing comb. I get crazy volume from this method, but then I just pat it down a bit. Especially with newly washed hair this can be a good way to go. If it hasn’t been washed for a few days, the teasing usually holds without the hairspray underneath. Another tips is that if you curl your hair with a straightener it should be totally clean when starting up, but if you curl it with a curling iron it usually holds best a day or two after you’ve washed it. Hmm, what else do we have.. I don’t think I can think of anything more right now, but if you have any questions just ask, I promise I’ll answer everything :)

  8. ELSKER de tørrshampoene!! Spesielt XXL volume er fantastisk. Pleier å hamstre Batiste når jeg er i Storbritannia (bare 2£ for de svææære flaskene der!). Har brukt den rosa flaska fra Proffs eller hva den heter en stund nå, og den suger så sykt! Føler håret faktisk blir verre av den. Takk for masse gode tips! :-)

  13. Hi :-)

    I wanted to know how you sleep with your hair. I’m born with curls, and they can be a little crazy, especially in the morning – my hair looks like a mess in the morning. I would love to be able to keep the curls I might make with the curling iron all trough the night (like you do) – do you have any tips for that, to not mess the hair up in my sleep :-P

  15. hei pene deg! har alltid beundrer deg som person og utseende ditt. Du er så utulig vakker, og hadde gjort alt for å se ut som deg. Nå i det siste har jeg fått endel kviser, og trenge hjelp til å velge meg en god concealer som dekker utbruddene. Så jeg lurte på hvilken du bruker og hvilken du vil anbefale meg og kjøpe. Blir utrulig gla for svar, ha en fin dag<3

  17. Hei søte du! Tusen takk for nydelige ord <3 Så skjønn du er!!<3 Jeg liker veldig godt concealerene fra MakeupStore. Kjøpte den for lenge siden, men visste ikke helt hvordan jeg skulle bruke den, så den har bare blitt liggende. Så lærte jeg at man skal ta ut littegrann (den er litt stiv), varme den i hånden med fingrene, og så smelter den inn i huden der du har kviser :) Kommer tre forskjellige nyanser i en concealer, og tror den koster 285. Varer utrolig lenge, så tror kanskje den er best for deg. Hvis du vil kjøpe den, få de til å vise deg hvordan du skal gjøre det i butikken :) Ellers kommer det et innlegg senere om noe som har hjulpet meg mot kviser, så check back in :) Klem<3

  18. Jeg aner ikke egentlig. Helt rett hår, ikke noe særlig slitt, naturlig glansfullt (men jeg liker å matte det ned), men akkurat “tørt” nok til at krøller og slikt sitter lenge. Ville gått innom en frisørsalong og fått litt hjelp, de har sikkert god peiling :)

  24. Hei, Cathrine! Ble så utrolig inspirert av dette inlegget at jeg bestemte meg for å krølle håret mitt med krølltang med en gang! Har ganske mye krøller fra før av, men de blir ikke like “glamorøse” som når man lager dem selv. Kan jeg spørre deg om hvordan du sover med håret om natta etter at du krøller det? Krøllene mine blir alltid flate og rufsete når jeg sover på dem.

    Du er forresten bare helskjønn! Digger deg og stilen din. Keep up the good work!

  25. Da tar man rett og slett for mye på, må nok holde den litt lengre fra hodebunnen :) Så må man børste godt igjennom etterpå :) Har holdt den litt for nærme og tatt for mye på selv, og da blir det gult, men da bruker man den jo ikke riktig :)

  27. Så koselig da :) Jeg pleier å surre alt håret i en lang “pølse” i en mangel på bedre ord, haha, så ruller jeg det til en tutt. Veldig dårlig forklart, men håper du skjønner hva jeg mener :) Tusen takk for fine ord <3

  31. Herlig innlegg! :D setter så stor pris på at du deler “hemmelighetene” med oss:) Må nok hamstre inn litt produkter på lørdag da skjønner jeg! Hehe:) En vakker dag skal jeg ha like fint hår som deg, men det tar nok litt tid :p

    Klem!
