LIFE CHANGING GRIP TIPS

Hair grips (otherwise known as Bobby Pins) are in every girls hair kit bag and have endless uses, so we wanted to share our advice on different ways to utilize them:

For better grip, flip the bobby pin over so that the wavy side is against your head.

Spray dry shampoo, hairspray or texture spray on the bobby pin before insertion to prevent slippage.

Secure the end of a braid with a hidden bobby pin to make your style look more chic – Slide a bobby pin upward into the knot to secure it. Voilà! A braid with no unsightly hair ties.

Keep your hair from falling in your face with hidden bobby pins.

Secure tiny braids with a concealed bobby pins.

Cover the elastic of your ponytail with a section of hair pinned around the base to disguise hair bobbles.

Pin back a half-up hairstyle with a geometric triangle design.

Insert grips into the base of your ponytail, vertically to prop up your ponytail.

Make your curls last longer by pinning the sections after curling them until they’ve cooled.

Apply eyelash glue to false lashes with the tip of a clean bobby pin.

They don’t always need to be hidden; use them as your hair decoration.

FEATURED IN THE MONTHS EMIRATES WOMAN & COSMOPOLITAN MAGAZINES

This month, EIDEAL are featured in both Emirates Woman and Cosmopolitan magazine with hair by our Brand Ambassador Angel Montague-Sayers.

In Cosmopolitan; Angel styled the hair for Brooke Dallow- Editor in Chief of Cosmopolitan Middleeast- ‘Here I blow-dryed the hair smooth using the Amazon Keratin serum and Silent force hairdryer, then in small sections I rotated the DiamonSilk irons back and forth to create a subtle beach wave. Then with my fingers I shook out the shape and finish with some dry shampoo to create a matte effect.’

The first feature in Emirates Woman is ‘Trend on Trial-tracksuits’ ‘Here the brief was ‘natural cool girl vibe’ so on Tarsila I created dishevelled waves, firstly with the Geenie irons and then used some salt spray and a dryer to give extra texture.’

For ‘The great coverup’ Angel used the Curl Guru to form effortless curls with a demi top knot on blogger Zarah Amira.

And on Handbag Designer; Sofia Al Asfoor, she used the large Curlie tongs in large vertical sections to enhance her natural hair texture.

BAD HAIR DAY HELP

At EIDEAL we are all for adding an extra day or two in between shampooing. The only issue is the longer you go without washing, the less likely you are to let your locks flow freely. But here’s the silver lining: There are a few hairstyles that actually look better on dirty hair. Lazy girls rejoice, these are guaranteed to help you on Ramadan mornings;

Twist your tresses into a chic , low chignon. The more texture the better and it keeps it out of your way.

Braids will be your best friends if you’re pushed for time in the mornings. They are easier to do on dirty hair and still look like you’ve made an effort…everyones a winner!

Look fierce for the office with a sharp, tailored style that will oozes sophistication. And the best part; no one will be able to tell the state of your hair if you layer up the hair spray and comb it into a low side parting….Ideal for the ever expanding heat!

We’re obsessed with high ponytail’s, they look chic especially if you have extra long locks and make you feel as though you’re still in school. Wrap a small section of hair around to disguise the bobble and add a little texture spray for extra movement.
