These days, all of us are feeling the squeeze on our bank balance. Even if you follow the glossy mags religiously, it’s impossible to keep on top of the latest hair fashions all the time. They change way too often! As much as we would love to update our look every season, it may not always be financially viable.
Don’t worry though! If you’re after a new hairstyle, you don’t even have to go to the salon! There are so many affordable ways to update your ‘do, all of which can be done at home.
Curious about styling your hair at home? Here’s our five-step guide. Careful though – it works so well your hairdresser may soon be out of a job!
Use over the counter hair dyes
Going to the hairdressers and having your hair dyed is a fantastic way to feel pampered. But it usually comes with a hefty price tag. Ever considered dying your hair yourself? There are so many different brands and colours to choose from in drugstores, you do have the pick of the rainbow! If you’re not sure which colour to go for, here’s a handy guide. Dyes are very easy to use. Simply wash your hair and then massage in the dye. Leave it for the specified time and then wash out. And that’s it! A new hair colour in no time at all.
DIY extensions
That’s right, you don’t even need to hit the salon and see a pro if you want some new hair extensions. If you want a head of luscious, long blonde hair extensions simply order them online and wait for the postman to deliver your new hair! They are very easy to put in, even if this is your first time. They just clip into your natural hair, meaning no tears and tangles! Nothing can go wrong.
Home blow dry
Some of you may be daunted by the prospect of having to style your hair. Afterall, there is nothing better than a salon blow dry! But it’s not that scary, ladies. It may take you a few goes, but once you’ve mastered the art of self-blow drying, you’ll never think of returning to the salon again. And with straightening hair too. Each skill is like learning to ride a bike – once you’ve nailed it, you’ll never forget! There are lots of handy how-tos on the internet to help you with styling smooth frizz-free hair. Remember: the key is to use plenty of heat-resistant products. There’s nothing worse than over-worked, dried-out hair!
Trims
Yes, that’s right – you can even trim your hair yourself! Admittedly, this is one for all you brave souls out there. Trimming fringes and bangs are easy to get the hang of. However, giving your whole hair a quick trim can be quite tricky. Maybe best to leave that one to the professionals!
So there you have it. Styling your hair doesn’t have to be restricted to a hairdresser’s salon! If the worst comes to the worst though and your DIY ‘do turns out to be a disaster, it’s best to book an appointment so a hairdresser can rescue you. At least, you can both have a good chuckle!
