Written by Chandni GhoshFeb 14, 2017
4 EASY HAIRSTYLES FOR VALENTINE’S DAY
It’s Valentine’s Day and naturally, you want to look your best for your big date with your partner. When it comes to putting together a look, your hairstyle is just as important as your outfit, in fact, you should ensure that your hairdo is perfectly in sync with what you’re wearing. If you don’t have anything particular in mind, we’re here to help you with some hair ideas based on the neckline you choose. Here’s a low-down...
 

Before you begin

Before you begin

Before we give you our hair ideas for your Valentine’s Day look, you need to make sure your hair is well-nourished and charged up for those hairstyles. For that, we suggest you get your hands on the Sunsilk Stunning Black Shine Shampoo that’s enriched with Amla-Pearl complex, which will keep your hair nourished and silky. Condition your hair to get rid of any frizz with the Conditioner from the same range as that will keep your hair from looking dehydrated.

 

Side chignon with a tube dress/gown

Side chignon with a tube dress/gown

If you’ve decided on that gorgeous tube/off-shoulder dress, make sure you tie your hair up into an updo to reveal your collar bones and back. We suggest go for a romantic side chignon to keep the soft and sweet look going with the ensemble.

 

Fishtail braid with that décolletage baring dress

<a href=Fishtail braid with that décolletage baring dress" title="Fishtail braid with that décolletage baring dress" width="600" height="400" >

If you’re ballsy enough to flaunt a dress with a dangerously low-neckline, we suggest you pretty things up with a fishtail braid that’s messy yet adds to the sexy vibe of the look. Don’t forget to add some accessories to your hair if you’ve chosen a pale coloured outfit.

 

Voluminous top knot with the high-neck dress

Voluminous top knot with the high-neck dress

Think turtle necks or high necks are more like your style? Pull your hair into a voluminous top knot for this look so your neck is in focus while you wear this one. Plus, when you tie your hair up into a topknot those chiseled cheekbones will get the right attention.

 

Parting braids with the U-neck dress

Parting braids with the U-neck dress

If you’re planning on settling for a regular U-neck dress, the perfect way to play it up would be to embrace the latest trend on the beauty scene—microbraids. Just tie micro braids on or right next to your parting while leaving your tresses loose.

BB Trend Alert—Hair Glossing Treatment

Written by Chandni GhoshDec 27, 2016
BB Trend Alert—Hair Glossing Treatment
We’ve always been envious of girls with shiny, happy hair often assuming that they’re just gifted mortals. While your hair texture has its roots in your genes, a lot has to do with the way you handle and care for your hair. If lustrous locks have always been your dream, allow us to educate you about one of the raging hair trends right now—hair glossing. Curious to know more about this? Read on...
 

What is hair glossing?

What is hair glossing?

Hair glossing has gained momentum as one of the routes to reviving lifeless and dull hair. It’s almost like adding a semi-permanent shiny coat to your tresses. It creates a shield that makes your hair smooth, shiny as well as works towards keeping your hair colour intact, if you have recently coloured your hair.

 

Who is the treatment for?

Who is the treatment for?

The hair glossing treatment works perfectly for those who may have spent too much time in the sun or if your hair has been exposed to chlorine. It leaves your hair damaged and takes away the natural shine and texture of your tresses. Moreover, if you’ve recently spent a bomb on colouring your hair and want to retain your colour longer, this treatment could be a smart solution.

 

How does it benefit your hair?

How does it benefit your hair?

Since the hair glossing treatment creates a smooth layer on your hair, it makes your hair reflective. In addition, this treatment also benefits you if your hair colour looks uneven or your highlights look too jarring. Since it smoothens out your tresses, it also assists with flyaways that destroy your styling. The best part about it is that it helps condition every strand of hair. So if you’ve been fighting dull and damaged hair for a while, this could be the answer to your problems.

5 BIZARRE HAIR TRENDS THAT TOOK OVER THE WEB IN 2016

Written by Chandni GhoshDec 13, 2016
5 BIZARRE HAIR TRENDS THAT TOOK OVER THE WEB IN 2016
2016 has been the year of hair trends. While some have caught our fancy others have been too OTT for reality. Wondering what they are? Here’s rounding them up for you...
 

Leopard print hair

Leopard print hair

When worn in a minimalist way, we appreciate leopard print outfits and accessories. But this year things got rather uncomfortable when the trend made its way into the hair space with women shaving their head in such a way that some parts of their hair represented leopard skin.

 

Unicorn hair

Unicorn hair

This one was clearly not for the faint hearted. Quite literally, the trend implies creating a unicorn horn on the top of the head. Instagrammers believe it’s one of the cutest hair trends of the year but if we were to actually see someone aping the trend in reality, we would stop to judge.

 

Glow in the dark hair

<a href=Glow in the dark hair" title="Glow in the dark hair" width="600" height="400" >

Everything glow-in-the-dark excites us but glow-in-the-dark hair? Nah! Simply because we’re not sure if our hair glowing in the dark would do any favour to our beauty goals. This is a trend when a neon dye in applied to the hair that makes it glow when the lights go out. No path-breaking purpose, really—it’s just meant for those who enjoy attention for bizarre reasons.

 

Stencil art hair

Stencil art hair

This became quite the rage on the web and had everyone creating designs on their hair using a stencil and a spray. Although some designs like hearts and polka dots looked cute in pictures, we doubt this one got a thumbs up in reality. After all, drawing hearts on your hair is pushing your romantic side to a bizarre level.

 

Cat undercut hair

Cat undercut hair

When it comes to animal lovers, we’re on the cat bandwagon. But as die-hard cat lovers, would we get a cat rainbow undercut? No. We’re certain there are cuter ways to depict our love for kitties.

What is Tiger’s Eye hair colour?

What is Tiger’s Eye hair colour?

This hair colour has nothing to do with the wild beast’s eyes. Tiger Eye is, in fact, a semi precious rock—one that has gold, bronze and brown stripes on it. The stone is known to have healing powers and hence, hairdressers are coaxing people to embrace this as a winter hair colour to ensure that they kick-start 2017 on a good note.

 

How is it done?

How is it done?

It’s done in a way where the three colours—gold, bronze and brown are highlighted in your hair much like the balayage style of hair colouring. In this trend, the hairstylist uses hand painted caramel highlights while the base is kept dark chocolate.

 

How to care for it?

How to care for it?

It is imperative to take special care of your tresses once you colour them. We suggest you opt for the TIGI Dumb Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner as its Colour LockDown Technology is exactly what your hair needs if you wish to keep the colour bright and want to fight breakage effectively.

Phoenix hair is created with rainbow hair-dye that’s designed to glow under black-light. Guy Tang, the colourist behind the trend uses a particular neon dye which transforms hair into a fluorescent rainbow shade. To master this look, Tang recommends a back-to-back bleaching in order to bleach hair enough to lighten hair colour so that it’s is blondest best before applying the neon dye.

 

Chunky pink and orange

Chunky pink and orange

Tang paints chunky pink and orange throughout the hair to create a look by day that’s striking and transformative at night into what can only be described as mesmerising hair-art. It is for this transition, of rising from the ashes that has given the trend its namesake; phoenix.

 

The power of beauty

BB Trend Alert—Succulent hair
We thought we had seen it all—hair in the hues of the rainbow, fall’s favourite beverage and even a rosy metallic. Well in fact, it was hardly the tip of the iceberg. That’s because there’s a brand new hair colour trend in town and it is lending a natural vibe to the hair game.

succulent hair trend

Confused? Don’t be. For years, we adored our succulents placed merrily in a line on our windowsills. Little did we know our indoor plants could actually be the trend du jour! Ever since the succulent hair trend has sprouted (pun intended) over social media, it has sent beauty lovers into a frenzy!

flora centric hair trend

It all began with Aly Louch, a Florida based stylist who was keen on creating a piece of art with succulents. Keeping her beauty profession as an obvious baseline, her thought process gave birth to the flora-centric hair trend.

succulent hair colour trend

The succulent hair colour trend is made by mixing greens, violets and blues over sections of the hair using the colour melting technique. Want to make a striking statement while being eco-friendly? Then look no further. Lead your hairstylist to this post so that they can tailor-make the succulent colour based on your hair tones and texture.

tigi colour combat dumb blonde shampoo

As is the case with any colour job, maintenance is important, so make sure to follow Aly’s tip to use ice-cold water for your hair and use the right shampoo. We recommend the TIGI Colour Combat Dumb Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner which is especially made to battle breakage and keep your hair colour vibrant and rich.

BB Trend Alert—Super Mario Pixel Hair
Trendy patch jeans are passé in comparison to what we have in store for you today. So fasten your metaphorical seatbelts and prepare yourselves for total hair-domination. If you haven’t heard of the infamous R&D Hairdressing Company, X-precision Creativos, think Andy Warhol of the hair-universe. X-precision Creativos is synonymous with ground-breaking, unreal hair art (known for their innovation in pixelated roots, to familiarize you with their ethos and vibe).

pixelated hair art

Their latest offering is no less trailblazing. Super Mario hair, which may sound like a cryptic message in hair-game, is in fact, exactly what it describes. Simply put, Super Mario characters dyed onto your tresses. To relive the 90s, it has a pixelated effect—in vein with how you first witnessed the magic of Super Mario, in its 8 bit form. Prep your appetite for nostalgia to leap out of bounds for this one.

A Tokyo Launch

X-precision Creativos launched their latest pixel creation, Mario, at a hair conference in Tokyo, Japan. Reports say that it takes around a week’s worth of work to bring you your favourite video game character to life, a la hair. Done in order to “honour video game culture that framed our childhood”, it’s even been likened to architecture or working with Adobe Photoshop layers.

 

A Major #TBT for the Uninitiated

A Major #TBT for the Uninitiated

A beauty throwback like none other—artists from Spain’s X-precision Creativos create their signature pixelated versions of Super Mario video game characters on hair.

A Step Forward in Hair Colour

The R&D Hairdressing company is already known world over for their hair art and are considered the pioneers of the pixelated trend. Their technique involves placing techno-inspired designs on the roots of the ends of hair.

 

Talk to Super Mario

Talk to Super Mario

When the hair is in motion or tousled up, it looks like nothing more than multi-coloured highlights. But, squint your eyes and you’ll see distinctive Super Mario figures which are most visible when hair is brushed in a certain direction or stroke, and is flat and straight.

BB Trend Alert—Chocolate Mauve Hair
Since we're always on top of our beauty game, hair colour is nothing new to us. Summer saw rainbow hued locks and trends inspired by fruits. The autumn season has even been inspired by its most popular spice to create a vibrant look. We thought we had seen it all...until this season's hottest hair colour shade appeared on the scene.

chocolate mauve hair

We're talking about chocolate mauve hair that’s completely changing the hair colour game this season. Created by Brooklyn based hairstylist Hannah Edelman, the look is a combination of milky mauves and delicate pinks with deep browns.

chocolate mauve hair colour technique

To get the unique mix of mauve tones with deep chocolate, Hannah combined 5 shades which are a mix of brown, mauve and pink with the colour melting technique over diagonal hair sections to create the almost metallic hair hue.

While blondes tend to have more fun when it comes to hair colour experimentation, the chocolate mauve hair trend is changing that for brunette babes. Since this hair colour style brings the platinum like tones to dark haired lasses, it is perfect for warmer skin tones too!

tigi dumb blonde shampoo and conditioner

Thinking of opting for a chocolate mauve look this season? Then take these looks with you to your next salon appointment and explain the colour mix you would like for your chocolate mauve hair. Once done, keep your highlighted sections intact with the TIGI Dumb Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner as its Colour LockDown Technology is just what you need to battle breakage and keep your hair vibrant and strong.

Some used colourful ribbons while others stuck to single-toned ribbons and interlaced them through their braids or pigtails.

 

How it’s done

How it’s done

While they might look complicated, they’re quite easy.
Just create two Dutch braids and braid your hair till the very end.
Now take a strip of lace or ribbon of your choice and thread it through the starting part of your braid and pull till you’re midway. It’s like lacing up a shoe—just cross the ends of the lace and thread the ends through the braids again. Re-cross the lace and thread it through the braids again till you reach the end and finally tie the laces together.

While braided hairdos are been there, done that; it’s time for the mini braid to shine. One can be created horizontally across the head like a hairband or vertically within one side of the parting. To do so, separate a thin section of your hair from the parting and create a small braid until it is near your ear and pin it in place under the remaining hair. Just a tiny braided section is all you need to add a dash of glamour to your work day.

Without a doubt, it's a hairstyle that's prim and proper, just right for the work space.

5 TIMES GIGI HADID GAVE US MAJOR HAIR GOALS
If you follow Gigi Hadid's style, you'd agree when we say that the girl has never had a bad fashion day. The clotheshorse that she is, she owns the runway every time she struts down the ramp. But she's just as awe-inspiring when it comes to red carpet events and off duty looks. Besides her style, it's her hair game that has us swooning lately. Precisely why we thought we'd show you how you can achieve some of her best hairstyles.
 

Beach waves

Beach waves

When it comes to sexy hair, beach waves take the cake.
Get this look by curling your hair in soft waves and then spray on some Toni & Guy Sea Salt Texturising Spray. This one will give your hair texture and help it look disheveled and beachy!

 

Low bun

Low bun

Gigi Hadid shows you how the low bun can be a versatile hairstyle. All you really have to do is create a middle parting and hold your hair at the nape of your neck in a low ponytail. Now coil the hair around the ponytail into a loose bun and secure with U-pins. Tame the flyaways by spraying some of the Bed Head TIGI Spoil Me spray that'll set your hair beautifully.

 

Hun

Hun

Who better than the trendy Gigi to show you how to flaunt the season's favourite hun (half bun) hairstyle. To play copycat to her, spray the TIGI Superstar Queen For A Day that'll add some drama and volume to your locks. Next, section the top layer of your hair into a V by using your fingers from your ears to the top of your head. Now tie a ponytail and secure with an elastic. Coil your hair around the elastic. Secure with bobby pins.

 

Slick hair

Slick hair

When it comes to flaunting sexy hair, Gigi knows how to impress. To get the wet slicked back look, apply the TIGI Catwalk Hair Session Series Wet Look to towel dried hair. Blow dry your hair backwards using a round boar bristle brush. Now apply some argan oil throughout your hair and you're done!

 

Twisted ponytail

Twisted ponytail

Trust this supermodel to rock a twisted ponytail. To ape her hairstyle, tie your hair into a ponytail and then wrap it up with a strand of hair. Next, divide the pony into two equal halves. After twisting each, twist both the strands together. Secure with an elastic. Spray some Bed Head Styling Masterpiece Shine Hair Spray that'll hold the ponytail together as well as add that much-needed shine to your hairdo.
