IHS Hair Show

The IHS Hair Show was a really fun day! The hair stylists had just 10 minutes to create a style which the models then sold on the runway.Crimping must be on its way back because every second girl (including me) had their hair pre-crimped for the show by their stylists! I went in looking like a bit of an 80s lion but came out with a crazy up do. We were given an outfit to wear that complimented our hairstyle so I wore this strange but cool bodysuit with attached stockings. The make-up was just bronze shimmer all over my eyes and cheeks and neck.
After the runway, photographer Jo O'Brien took us outside for a quick photoshoot.

L'Oréal Hair Show

Well I've never done a hair show before because usually they want to cut it really short or dye it bright red but I finally did my first one!
It was the L'Oréal 'New York, London, Paris' show and was showcasing the latest runway trends from fashion capitals around the world.
My look was 'Paris' and I got a crazy modern french roll which had made an appearance at a couple of shows in fashion week. We also wore dresses inspired by the new season designs.
A couple of days before the show we went in to the L'Oréal office and got our hair done. We had a huge room all to ourselves and had snacks and magazines and just chilled out with our own personal hair dresser which was really fun...though of course the first thing they asked when I got there was if they could dye my hair bright red...haha!
I thought they were just going to put a gloss through it but I ended up with a colour called 'Black current' which is pretty much dark, dark brown with a purple sheen... I was a bit scared at first but then I got used to it. I think the bright lights at L'Oréal made it look more purple than it does in normal light too.
