#FACETIME / BYE BYE BANGS BANGS WITH COSMO HAIRSTYLING

And BANG, you've hit the awkward stage with your bangs. At least I have and I can't be the 

only one. Too long to let it hang and too short for an updo. The last one is NOT true, let that be 

clear ladies and gentlemen.

Luckily there's Cosmo Hairstyling! Because I have to be honest, Cosmo hairstylist Lila helped me 

out (a lot!) and gave me a little workshop on these "how to" hairdo's, and now I will pass it on to you. 

Because that's where friends are for, right? ;) 

These updo's are actually quite easy, but you just need to know how to apply and you and your 

bangs can happily ever after. So, are you ready?! Let's start this "6 ways to grow out bangs" 

hairdo's workshop!

#HAIR / GREY SCALE

HAPPY NEW HAIR PART 3! I'm totally on trend (or fleek? Whatevah.) with my granny grey hair!
Unfortunately my hair is not the easiest one to dye (lots of red pigment, fragile, easily damaged),
so the grey/silver glow lasted for exactly three days... Luckily I took these pics right on time to share
it with you, my dear friend :)

And this all was a preparation for my next hair color... Can you already guess what color it's
 gonna be?! ;) And what do you think of the granny grey hair trend?

#HAIR

Happy New Hair part two! Which was one of my resolutions of 2015; more different hairstyles.

Well this is already number two and we're just in March. So what do you think? Do you see 

any difference?

Some people didn't even noticed because it looks so natural - thanks to the Cosmo Hairstyling pro's - and

other people didn't even recognized me! So when I told them some people didn't noticed, they were 

flabbergasted, haha!

So tell me, did you noticed le grande change? I'M BLONDE, PEOPLE. Hell yes I am! "Blondes have 

more fun", "blondes do it better", yeah yeah... I'm not taking any sides 'cause I faked it til I made it ;)

And now the big Q... Do you like it?!

#HAIR

Finally, there it is! The hair tutorial video for The Chair. And let me be clear, the founder and
talent behind this tutorial is mister Jeffrey Janssen. Also known from Holland's Next Top Model.

We shot this video last Summer and I was their model for this raw ballerina knot tutorial.
Totally loves it! What about you?!

Although Jeffrey always knows how to make your hair look perfect, this is such an easy peasy DIY.
Even I can do it as you can see in the video below. And if I can do it, you can do it. Trust me ;)

Watch the video here below!

#LINSPIRATION

"Bang bang into the room, bang bang all over you!" We all know the song from Jessie J, 

and it fits perfectly with my new "coupe de bangs" ;)

Somehow you feel this strange connection with the fellow bangs people (I just mean people with 

bangs though). Just like gingers have I guess. Your part of a group, a different group. When we see each 

other on the street, we look at each other on a telepathic way like "hey bangs, you're cool, just like me".

Am I crazy or what? I know ;) So here tons of bangs inspiration and the people where
I'm now all connected with. Who's your favorite bangs ganger? ;)

HAIR

The first thing I can write off my "bucketlist"; new hair (do care)! Did I really do this?! Hell yes I did.

 I'm going through life with bangs right now and it kinda feels save. Why? Because I had bangs for 

like 70% of my life.

Since I live in Amsterdam - for over a year by now - I find it hard to choose a good hairdresser. 

 Not because there are none, because there are too many! But I finally found the right one, 

 just before 2015; Cosmo HairStyling. With their beyond ah-mazing interior, the sweetest hairdressers 

and the best treatments I ever had, seriously.

She told me I should go blonde! And to be honest, I think she's right... What about you? Hello, one thing 

at a time, okay ;-)  First I'll leave my hair like this for now. And if I wanna chance it, they're all over Holland 

and they have international plans, so no worries for me. I will be back soon Cosmo :)

By the way, how was your night last night?!

BEAUTY

When it comes to fashion, outfits and personal style, I'm always pretty sure what I 
want (with some exceptions of course). But when it comes to beauty - and this time 
especially hair - I'm clueless at the moment... 

I love the ombre hairdo, but I already had that. Even the reverse ombre! 
I have been a brunette, blonde, brunette and blonde. Even both at the same time. 

Long, short, been there done that. Hair extensions? Check! (in 2008.) Did I forget to 
mention something? Oh yeah, and of course I have had bangs. 

But the big question is; what to do with ma coupe right now?! 

HAIR

After having my blonde dip dye for a while (also known as ombre),

why not trying it the exact opposite way?! And then you have a reverse ombre.

I'm a loser in making decisions and that also counts with my hair.

"Blonde or brunette?" is a question I asked myself a million times. I've been both, liked it

both and know I'm a blondette? My natural color is also in between blond and brown so

I think I like to leave it that way, hurray for the blondettes!

MODELING

Does this picture looks familiar to you? ;) 

If you're young, ask your parents (hihi). Well, this is not Twiggy, c'est moi! 

I always get a lot of reactions that I my eyes look a lot like the HUGE eyes of 

60s supermodel Twiggy (Lesley Lawson). 

So the question 'How do I look like when I'm wearing the same make-up as Twiggy?' 

came trough my mind like a 93082081 times. Of course I had to try it and this is the result.

What do you think my next "twin shoot" must be? I hear a lot of people saying; 'you look a 

bit like Katy Perry!' Don't see it myself though, but I'll accept the challenge...

(P.S. My Facebook account has been blocked for 48 hours because of some 
Malware virus?! Someone have/had the same problem? Please let me know)

personal // INSPIRATION STATION

(First & last pic by me, rest by tumblr.com)

For the people who haven't seen the first, second & third edition; Inspiration Station is a 

topic with pictures (often by Tumblr and myself) that catches my eye with every time another theme. 

This fourth station stops at Hairdo Town. I L-O-V-E different hairdo's & haircuts. 

Long, colored, ombre, braided, curled, bun, everything!

The only problem is, I’m not quite handy with my hair, so I’m always searching for something 

easy breezy. For example; look at my bow! Sooo easy and sooo cute! Wanna know how to? 

Let me know if you’re interested so maybe I can make a “how to” movie :) 

Fortunately I have a lovely hairdresser that tries out the hard stuff on me that’s wayyy out of 

my league. So here some inspiration pics for you my lovely readers ;) which one is your favorite?
