Club hair

Ok first up I've just been watching Gok's Fashion Fix and I have to say I'm proud to see that it was a fellow brummy lass who won ;-) However, that country girl outfit could have looked fab with a beautiful pair of dark brown boots...but black boots - brown outfit - Gok, I know you like contraversial but WHAT WERE YOU THINKING??? Usually, I'm a huge Gok fan - the man can do no wrong but nuh uh not this time brown and black do not go. It's like putting red with pink - you just don't do it!

Sorry, rant over. Back to my club theme. You've got your look, your man looks suitably dressed to accompany you what next? You need to get your hair and make up just right, if this is wrong all the effort you put into your outfit will not matter! Get your hair right; it makes all the difference. If you're prone to limp, fine, or greasy hair opt for curls or the "messy" look. It will create volume, the product needed will disguise any greasyness and your hair will look super. For curls, invest in a decent pair of curling tongs, I've never got on with rollers, though I know people who they work perfectly well for. You can achieve curls using GHD straightners, but if you're planning on uing these make sure you get assistance, I've found it to be quite difficult on your own. I regularly go for the messy look when I'm not in the mood. It's quick, simple and looks great. I'm lucky because my hair is naturally curly so I only need to give it a little encouragement my scrunching it up using a little hair gel rubbed betwwen my palms. If you have limp hair this may be difficult so invest in a a hair diffuser and some hair mousse as well as hair gel. Soak your hair in hair mousse before using the diffuser to mess it up and a little hair gel between your palms when scrunching your hair to complete the look. A thin hairband will keep your hair looking nice through-out the night. An alternative to this version of the messy look is to back brush your hair and spray it with hair-spray, continuing to back brush, eventually brushing you hair forwards again using ur fingers though, not your hair brush!

If your lucky to have thick hair then straightening it is always a great look. Use GHDs to perfect it, however most straightners will do the job well enough, they'll just take longer to get it perfectly straight. Always use a "claw" hair clip (see picture) as this will help straighten the hair in layers and so help avoid getting kinks in your beautiful hair.

If you have short hair, spike it Rihanna style or Hallie Berry chic. Work your look, don't let your look work you.

Right, tomorrow I'll talk about make- up since it needs a section all of its own.
