 Lauren Williamson asked me to be involved in this shoot I was given the guidelines of 1950′s but I did not want the hair to look like we just played dress up with the Models, so I just went with what came to me on the day. Although I had in my head Quiffs and Rolls.

Our first look was some elegant loose curls to compliment the gorgeous dresses and brilliant make up by Lucy Baker. 

Then it was time to Rock it!!! With Abbie I went with a really high quiff but kept it textured and kept the back very sleek to make sure the quiff stood out. I styled the Quiff free handed with my fingers and my favourite hairspray Big Sexy Hair “Spray and Play Harder”, the name says it all.

Our second model Joss I went with a side roll, again with a lot of texture because her hair had previously been curled to spice things up a bit and give her a more of a New England charm (As seen in May’s 2011 Vogue Magazine).

Back in March I was asked to do a shoot by Louise at Bow Occassions and the briefing was Ecclectic Chic. I had so much fun with the looks for each our models.  I absoloutely love Red hair so I can't tell you how happy I was when Ethel turned up.  I gave each of the girls completely different styles to keep it original looking so I took Plaits, Rolls, Buns and Curls and got creative to keep in the Bold, Bright and Beautiful.

Louise had mentioned having a Plait in one of the styles so I decided to make Victoria's entire style a full plait to compliment the lovely big lashes that Mariam used.

Jess I gave her a 1940's style with a sleeker more modern edge to it to off set Victoria's style. With the girls both being blonde it looked fantastic when they were photographed together. For Jess's second look I went with a high bun but not to tight with some wisps of hair coming out.

 Again I love Red hair and always wished I was born with it so with Ethel I gave her a classic look of loose curls for that beautiful look but once there was a dress chang I backcombed all of her curls with my fingers to give her hair a lot more volume. It was great with her flowing dress.
