One step A-head...

If you thought it was only hair that got our pulses racing, you'd be wrong. Sitting pretty in the upper levels of our all-important list (alongside David Beckham's rather dashing suited cameo at the England/USA match) is statement headgear. This doesn't include helmets or NY baseball caps- more the elaborately delicate pieces by milliner Stephen Jones and Phillip Treacy. Like art? Wear it on your head. Why the hell not...


Explicately Intricate: Chanel Haute Couture SS09


If you don't know him, U need 2: Charlie Le Mindu (ss10 Girls of Paradise)





Headgear Pioneer: Gaga





Phillip Treacy


Sulis couldnt resist having a play! Check out Sven Bayerbach's creations below:

Texxxxturrre!!!



Just a little bit purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...!!



It’s been building for a while, and we can now confirm that the rumors are true: The straightening irons have been exiled. Harsh? We think not. Too many hours of too many days have been wasted steaming the soul out of our innocent locks, and now, it’s time to liberate that natural texture. Flicks? Kinks? Bring it on.

The texture of your hair changes every five to seven years, so rather than fighting it, we think it makes a lot more sense to go with the flow.
Love her or hate her (we love), one woman who looks great embracing her natural texture is Sarah Jessica Parker. If you haven’t seen the latest SATC film, we advise that you do, if only on a hair-based level!
The infamous Carrie Bradshaw is seen sporting curls in various guises throughout the film, one being the beautifully voluminous textured curls pictured below.
Inspired?

Step 1: The key to having great curls is to make sure your hair is well moisturised, otherwise it will become dry and be prone to frizz, so always wash your hair with a great moisturising shampoo and conditioner. We love Bumble and bumble Crème De Coco Shampoo (£16.50) and Conditioner (£17.50).
Step 2: Once you have towel dried your hair add some Bumble and bumble Styling Spray (£11.00 for an o-so-convenient travel sized spray) which will help lock in moisture and intensify your curls.
Step 3: The key to drying curly hair is to use a diffuser on your hairdryer. Tip your head upside-down and gently scrunch your hair as it dries with the diffuser, as this will help give you volume at your roots. Don’t hold back!
Step 4: Next use a tail-comb (the small comb with the narrow end) to create a deep side parting over one eye and flip your hair to one side.
Step 5: To finish use a small amount of Bumble and bumble Defrizz Shine Serum (£27.50) onto your fingers and then use to twist and define random curls.
Step 6: Lightly spray with a flexible hair spray like Bumble and bumble Holding Spray (£16.00).

Et Voila! So much quicker, so much better for your hair!

If Carrie doesn’t do it for you, this definitely will…

Sabatini White featured a number of delectable waves. The style was centre-parted and flat(ish) on top, with loose waves creating volume through the mid-lengths and ends. Soft, fresh and beautiful, this is ultra feminine, wearable hair at it’s best.
Or take a peek at Chloe. Whats not to love?













Soon… xx
