My new best friend, Biosilk’s Silk Therapy, photographed on my new skirt from H&M (it cost 30,- on sale!)

Ever since a period in 9th grade when I started styling my hair Lion-style (think short and MESSY), my hair has usually been in a permanent bed head state. Nothing easier than to squish some gel into it, rub it with a dry towel, and voilà, instant I-couldn’t-care-less-hair. But lately I’ve leaned more and more towards a softer, more elegant look, especially after discovering Vintage Koi’s channel on Youtube.

The question then becomes: how do I get soft, shiny curls without too much of a hassle? I’m terribly impatient when it comes to grooming, you see, so velcro rollers or even a curling iron are pretty much out of the question unless it’s a special occasion and I’ve got lots of free time before the event. But this Christmas I discovered how, and it’s so easy I have to laugh.

Biosilk Silk Therapy + a quality straightener = ♥ hair

I shower, apply a tiny amount of Silk Therapy to the lengths of towel-dry hair, then let it dry naturally (or blow dry it if I’m in a hurry). Then I make ribbon curls with the straightener (thank you, Cookie, for teaching me how to do it!) without any other products as I don’t like the stiff, flat curls they get in the video. I only curl the hair from about eye level and to the ends, so the roots are left au naturel. And that’s about it, really! A light mist of hairspray is a good idea if I need the hair to last for a long day.

I just bought that ghd straightener I told you about, I can’t wait for it to get here! I’ll let you know what I think about it as soon as I’ve put it through the test. As for now, I’m rather curious

- what’s your favourite way of styling your hair?
