And Manchester discovers Aussome Volume…

That’s right, on Thursday night the Aussie team hightailed it up to Manchester to host the second of our Aussome Volume Tribe parties, this time held at Bluu Bar in the Northern Quarter. The evening was a chance for all the Northern members of the Aussome Volume Tribe to meet each other, learn about the Aussie Aussome Volume range plus put it to the test, and what better way than to host a 60’s party!

Once the buffet table had been thoroughly raided (mostly by yours truly!) and there were cocktails in hand, it was time for Amber and Zara our lovely Aussie stylists to talk about how to achieve volume and what products to use (The Aussome Volume range of course!)

Jennifer had been selected to be the hair model and her hair was set with hot rollers, before being shaken out to style her hair into gorgeous waves and curls. Our stylists had so many hints and tips for achieving volume, including leaning at a 45degree angle when blowdrying your own hair, working mousse through damp roots before blasting with a hairdryer, and spraying the Volume and Gloss hairspray on the roots before backcombing. There’s no excuse for us to have a flat hair day now, ever again…

Once the demo was over, Amber and Zara then got to work on everyone else, using the Aussome Volume mousse, Volume and Gloss spray and the Texturising and Conditioning gel to create height that we’ve only ever dreamed of! Liloo went for a brilliant half- beehive, Carla achieved a beautiful 60’s do and Jenn managed what looked like a completely new haircut!

Whilst the Aussome hairstyling was in action, the talented Shola Kaye took to the, er, carpet, and performed the first set of early Motown hits, before hitting the floor again; this time armed with extra microphones. Lyrics were dotted about the room which meant the Angels had no escape, not that they wanted any when they realised how much fun it was!

Throughout the night the Angels and guests were asked to write down their hair tips and pop them in our Aussie Style Tip Boxes, because at the end of all our Tribe parties we’ll be putting together a Style Bible with all the tips, to send to our Angels.

Before we knew it the evening had come to an end, and, with high hair and high spirits, the Angels left the party armed with goodybags full of products they could use to recreate their look at home.

Thanks to all who came along;  it was so great to see everyone together to celebrate Aussie and the 60’s!  To check out more pics of our Aussome Volume Tribe night, just click here.

Yummy Hair Days @ Lovebox

Have you got Yummy Hair? Then why not celebrate it?? That’s what we set out to do when we took our lovely Angels Sherin, Fiona and Reena to London’s Lovebox Festival last Sunday. We here at Aussie love making girls feel good about themselves, because sometimes it can be hard looking this good and you deserve a little recognition for your efforts!

Everyone enjoys receiving a compliment, and it’s just as much fun giving one, so we spent the day doing just that – hunting down gals with gorgeous hair and letting them know how much we loved their barnets!

Top knots, hot crops and va va volume were the order of the day, and despite the windy weather our festival goer’s still managed to get it right time and time again. Check out some of my top picks from the day below, and let me know what you what you consider to be Yummy Hair – is it great colour you rate, or cut or style? And how does it affect you when you’re having a Yummy Hair Day? I for one feel so much more confident when my hair is behaving itself, but I don’t want to leave the house if it’s not! We’d love to hear how you feel, so get commenting…

Cool hat and hot hair - definitely a Luscious Long lady

Perfecting the top knot - a little Hi Shine hairspray goes a long way!

As we cruised about, catching sun and catching bands, we couldn’t help but constantly scan the crowds as everywhere you looked was girls with Yummy Hair!

The 'A' Team

Aussie Angels Reena, Sherin and Fi

Overall we had so much fun, and we highly recommend trying it yourself sometime – scouting for great hair is seriously addictive, and you’ll absolutely make someone’s day!

Hmm, do they use Aussome Volume or Colour Mate??

My favourite of the day - such a gorgeous red! I know which tribe she belongs to...

Thanks to Reena, Sherin and Fi for joining us on this mission to spread the Aussie Love, take a look here for who Sherin found having a #YummyHairDay, here for more pics of the day, and don’t forget to Tweet me @YummyHair if you have one yourself!!

Luscious Long Princesses unite!

If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably been wondering where Prince Charming’s been all your life. Well, this weekend we were in for a surprise as he just happened to show up to our Luscious Long Tribe Fairytale party! That’s right, on Saturday night Prince Charming, Cinderella, Snow White, our Luscious Long tribe members and their Luscious guests all descended upon the VIP room at Avalon in East London, to be swept up into a magical evening of hair, frolics and fantasy.

Once everyone had arrived, there was a quick welcome speech followed by 2 demonstrations on how to do up-do’s with long hair by our Aussie stylists Amber and Zara. Whilst demonstrating each step of what they were creating, the stylists also discussed the best way to take care of long hair, and which products to use – the Luscious Long range of course! The eucalyptus in the range is perfect for long hair, as it cleans, nourishes and protects hair from fly-aways but doesn’t weigh the hair down.

Hayley’s retro do was created using a round brush and the Aussome  Volume hairspray, giving her up – do a boost whilst holding it in place. Zoe’s rapunzelesque plait was created with a quick blowdry and a spritz or two of the Luscious Long leave-in conditioner before being plaited and finished off with a pretty flower.

When the demo’s were over the party got into full swing, giving the Luscious Long tribe members the chance to meet, mingle and bond over their long hair trials and tribulations, and between chats everyone got to visit the stylists to have a hair makeover.

Cinderella arrived, albeit missing a shoe, but luckily Prince Charming was close behind her, ready to reunite her with it. There was a touching moment when he placed her shoe back on, however poor Snow White wasn’t too happy about the whole thing, as apparently Cinders wasn’t the only one he’d charmed. As the Angels will attest to, Prince Charming did indeed live up to his name!

By the end of the night, everyone had shared how they care for their lusciously long hair, met their fellow tribe members and been chatted up by Prince Charming – always a good Saturday night when that happens!

Aussie to the Rescue! hits Leeds…

Cue the caped kangaroo because Aussie were out in force again last night, this time to rescue our Leeds Angels with a little help from the experts. There’s more to life than hair but it’s a good place to start – this is the Aussie philosophy, and ‘round here we like to take it quite literally! This meant that we had a hair stylist, clothes stylist and makeup artist on hand to demonstrate looks and styles on the Angels to help them look good and feel great.

Sinead, Carla, Catherine, Liloo, Briony-Lou, Phoebe and Daisy all popped by our luxury penthouse to be greeted and treated with champagne cocktails from our bartender Ian, followed by hair styling with Amber, and then a session in makeup with Cassie and a consultation with our stylist Steven to complement their hair.

We asked the girls to think of what hair styles they’ve never tried or have been unable to do themselves, and then Amber got to work creating the look they were after, whilst talking them step by step through how to do it themselves at home.

Each step of the way all tips were written down by the stylists and the Angels, so by the end of the night everyone was armed to the teeth with the tips and tricks the experts were sharing.

This do on Phoebe was created using the Hi Shine hairspray, Aussome Volume mousse and Velcro rollers – Phoebe kept them in for a good 20minutes and then voila! Beautiful waves and shine!

So, keep your eyes peeled for what our Angels thought of this fun and informative night, and stay tuned for where our superhero Roo will be bounding next…Aussie, to the Rescue!

Aussome Times with Aussie…

Hey cool cats, last Thursday saw the first of our Aussome Volume Tribe parties swing into action, and wow was it a happening night! Held in the Rehearsal Room at Adam st Members Club in London (where ‘50s and 60’s musicians used to actually rehearse!), the theme was 1960’s with an early-Motown twist.

Once all our Aussome Volume members and their guests had arrived, we had a quick welcome speech by yours truly, followed by  a chat with our hairstylists on the topic of most interest to the tribe – how to get your hair to reach new heights!

We found out that the Aussome Volume shampoo and conditioner’s magic ingredient is hops, which is also found in beer (but it won’t give you a beer belly, we promise!), and the mousse that gives you va va voom contains cherry bark, a special Aussie bark that adds bounce and shine.

Check out the amazing volume and shine Hannah, Amy S, Amy and Zoe achieved after Amber and Zara styled their hair using the Aussome Volume products, wow!

The demo was quickly followed by cocktails and individual hair styling, as our stylists Amber and Zara got to work creating beautiful beehives and voluminous barnets, using the Aussome Volume mousse and hair spray.

The night would not have been complete without a little music, and it came in the form of the brilliant Shola K, who rocked all the classics whilst looking ultra glam in her evening frock and Supreme – esque wig. By the second set we all took it turns to join her on stage, singing our hearts out and hogging the microphone whenever we got the chance!
