Lioness..anyone!!??

Long time huh! Well what to say...light issues, studies, work...n above all laziness!!! I believe its high time to get my ducks in a row! N of course, how can stylejunkiee be sleepjunkiee!! So to start with...i was talking to one of my friends about how gorgeous Serena's (Gossip Girl star) hair is...blonde, untamed n glossy! I browsed a bit about her style and have a few tips for you to create that wavy, out-of-bed, lion mane! Keep reading..

I remember the time when everyone (including me;) wanted straight hair...and i swear i regret those 6 hours i spent burning my hair!! Anyways, i long for my natural waves!! Poker straight hair is good for a high pony, no doubt. But, this season is all about beachy waves, super curls, unkempt hair, fringes and sexy short hair. Lion mane hairstyle was earlier thought to be good only for Halloween but thanks to models and actors for sporting them on runways and movies...<grinning>

I mean…who could ignore Serena's hair in GG or our own Sex and the city star Sarah Jessica Parker who has sported frizzy and wavy lion mane hair in most of the series and movies. In the recent Bollywood flick CockTail, Deepika Padukone has changed her hair up from her usual style and looked gorgeous. It looked natural, unkempt and added sensuality to the character that she played. 

How to achieve a lion's mane hair style?

• It's all about adding volume and more volume to your hair.  It's called 'lion mane' because like lion it looks lush/luxurious and swept back from the face and is thick and full. You can get this look at home without visiting saloon every time.

• Use a volumizing shampoo to wash your hair (washing hair previous night saves a lot of time) and use a very little conditioner (since it tends to soften the hair and will give it a silky fall which is exactly opposite to what we are trying to get here). 

• Blow dry hair while lifting it from the roots until it is slightly damp. Braid all the hair into several small braids if you want curls or tie it into a high bun if you want just waves.

• Let the hair dry naturally (or just sleep over it)

• Unbraid/loosen hair and comb it backwards to untangle it. Back combing is a great way to achieve bouncy and voluminous hair. 

• A good hair spray comes handy here. I personally like TIGI products. Start from the front with a tiny section of hair, spray it generously, crimp it and then push it forward (over your face). Keep doing this until all the hair is sprayed and crimped in tiny sections and pushed forward, then flip your head back. 

• Adjust the hair with finger tips or a brush very slightly. 

 AND

You are all set to rock! Lioness ;-) XOXO

Go ethnic the Fabindia way!

Fabindia is synonymous with Indian handicrafts and fashion, weaving together the traditional and contemporary. The brand started off with handloom furnishings slowly graduating to domestic fashion retail, filling a void in the market for modern Indian fashion.
