Celebrity Hairstyles at the Capital FM Summetime Ball

The Capital FM Summertime Ball 2012 has just passed and we have to say, we LOVED it and we loved the celebrity hairstyles too! The ball was full of superstars from the UK and across the globe, it was certainly an event not to be missed!
We thought we’d give you a round-up of our favourite celebrity hairstyles from the lovely ladies present on the day (you should know the drill by now ;)) so let’s crack on...

Cheryl Cole proved to steal the show on Saturday; whether this was for all the right reasons for her lovely hair or for the wrong reasons with her extravagant performance outfit. We can’t quite make up our minds on whether we really like this outfit choice?!?! Hmmmm … Anyhow, Cheryl Cole’s hair still looked as stunning as ever; her hair was styled into an on-trend high ponytail complete with soft boho waves throughout which is a hot hot HOT look for summer! Girls take note! Complete with sultry make up, Cheryl looked every inch the star as she performed in front of thousands in Wembley Arena! We’re pretty proud she’s a Brit <3

After Cheryl Cole performed at the Capital FM Summertime Ball 2012, her look was a little more toned down; Cheryl wore a cute coral dress and she kept her hair back and out of the way into a chic big high bun! Another bang-on-trend look for the summer! LOVING it <3

Both of these looks are super easy to re-create if you have long hair, if not, clipping in some hair extensions for added length will make styling TONS easier :)

Another lady we think stole the show at the Capital FM Summertime Ball 2012 was the delightful and show-stopping Jessie J! She was looking way too cute with her newly cropped ‘do! Jessie J’s hair was styled with subtle playful curls which is a mile away from her usual poker straight style, but we seriously approve of the texture!! YAY for Jessie!! <3 Curls and waves are soooo on-trend for the summertime, get yourselves in on the act too ladies!!

We’re also completely in L.O.V.E with Jessie J’s studded shorts which she performed in at the Capital FM Summertime Ball 2012; they are so chic and SO on trend ... we want a pair SO.BAD. eeek! Another thing that caught our attention was Jessie J’s magnificent voice, she’s super cool at performing live and we love her that little bit more for it! <3

Another lady who switched up her look for the Summertime Ball was the daring colour chameleon Katy Perry! Although she kept her shade to a subtle black this time, the blunt bob was an attention grabber instead. Katy Perry’s hair was teamed with a statement cropped fringe … we can’t decide whether this is a hair DO or hair DON’T!?!?! Hmmm! We’re pretty sure Katy Perry just used a wig though and didn’t actually chop off her lovely locks as she was seen partying out later that evening with hair falling just below her shoulders! I know ‘phew’ is what some of you are probably thinking ;)

We do love Katy Perry and her gutsy attitude towards her hair, she isn’t afraid of switching it up a little and we LOVE that!

A new fond favourite of ours is the little starlet that is Rita Ora!! We LOVE the lighter hair on her tanned skin and we also ADORE the curls which she always tends to style her hair with! How does she keep them intact ALL.OF.THE.TIME? Reveal your secret now Miss Ora...<3

Rita Ora’s hair has been almost Bunny Blonde for some time now, however it looked as though she has a peach shadow effect going on at the Capital FM Summertime Ball...What do you think guys!?! Are my eyes playing tricks on me or?!?

So whose look are you guys loving? Did you go to the ball too? Who was your favourite? Let us know by popping a comment below or tweet us! :)

Double Waterfall Braid Hair Tutorial

Last Summer, the waterfall braid was our most popular style so this year we are turning our attentions to the double waterfall braid! Braids are still a huge trend for the Summer months, but the styles are getting more and more intricate and detailed. :) The popularity of the waterfall braid has meant this style has been cropping up loads and with lots of variations. One of our favourite variations is the double waterfall braid so we thought we’d treat you to a hair tutorial for this cute style! :)



Step One

Fit your Headkandy hair extensions as normal. Personally, I think that this style looks perfect with mermaid style waves! So style your hair whether you’re going curly, wavy or straight before starting your braid.

Step Two

For this braid you need to take a small section of hair from the top section of your hair, angling the hair up from your ear. Sperate this into 3 sections.

Step Three

Begin by doing a normal braid. Angle your hands so that your hair is moving towards the back of your head and not down the side of your face for the next step.

Step Four

Before you move your top section over to the middle once again, you will need to pick up a little more of the loose hair from right beside the section, combine this with that section and fold over the middle section.

Step Five

Now, instead of folding the bottom section over the middle you should drop that hair and pick up the section of loose hair from underneath this dropped section.

Step Six

Follow these steps until you have gone all around your head and braid the hair to the end. You can use this braid to start the next. :)

Step Seven

To do the second waterfall braid you can follow the steps above, but when you are picking up hair to include to your top row, try and pick up the dropped sections from the braid above as this gives a lovely effect. :)



Weave in some flowers or ribbons for a super girly feel to the look. This style is great for parties, a day at the beach or the perfect holiday style...we’d love to see if you give this a go! Upload your pics to our Facebook page so we can take a look.

Made In Chelsea Hairstyles

We're sad that this season’s MIC has finished :( so we thought we’d do a quick roundup of our favourite Made In Chelsea hairstyles to hold on to the MIC love!! There are quite a fair few ladies on Made In Chelsea, but our favourites stand out a mile with their forever glossy and immaculate hair; we just HAD to do a little blog on them!!

Now to begin, a firm favourite of ours has GOT to be Natalie Joel! With hair like hers we are pretty much green with envy. Natalie Joel’s hair is lusciously long and super thick we just LOVE it. We’re a little unsure as to whether or not she’s had help from some hair extensions?! Whatever the case, her Made in Chelsea hairstyle is simply stunning!!
We love how Natalie keeps it simple with her hair; it’s either straight or wavy with boho-like curls — a typical Made In Chelsea hairstyle. She obviously takes good care of her hair and doesn’t over style it to keep it in perfect condition. So, ladies, if you’re looking for healthy hair, lay off the heat styling and jazz up with your hair with cutesy braids to keep bang-on-trend whilst giving your hair some rest and recuperation!

We have also fallen in L.O.V.E. with Natalie Joel’s hair shade; with a light caramel blonde on top and a darker shadow towards the ends of her hair, we think this shade is pretty unique at the moment, but we have our bets on it becoming a hot trend in the coming months! You heard it here first....;)

Our next lovely lady who we are a little bit fond of is the marvellous Millie Mackintosh! She’s becoming quite the style queen and we adore her sense of style — so chic and girly. But another thing we’re besotted with is...her hair!! Of course! Millie Mackintosh’s hair is always beautifully glossy and styled to perfection almost EVERY time we see her! Reveal your secret Millie!!

We love Millie’s hair when it’s styled with curls towards the ends of her hair and flicked out around her face — another Made In Chelsea Hairstyle which we adore! Millie is a bit more extravagant with her hairstyles and does tend to mix it up a little! She’s not scared of trying something new and we think she pulls of pretty much all of the looks she has gone for, whether it is a slick back high ponytail or a cute updo, Millie can do no wrong with her hair in our eyes! <3

Millie Mackintosh is also a fond lover of some hair extensions from time to time, we think she looks AH-MAZING with longer hair and we love the curls in this shot too! We’d love to see her more often with longer hair as we think she looks incredible! BIG thumbs up from us Mille!!

And last, but by no means least, is the chic and cool as a cucumber, Caggie Dunlop! Caggie makes an appearance in and out of MIC due to touring with her band, but we have a little soft spot for her and her hair so we had to include her! Caggie’s hair kind of mirrors her best pal Millie's hair as it appears to be cut in the same sort of style, however it is lighter than Millie’s and Caggie isn’t afraid of letting her hair look a little messy! We do love a little messiness from time to time!

Caggie Dunlop tends to style her hair with boho beach waves which is another hot Made In Chelsea hairstyle we are loving, especially as the Summer is fast approaching we can see plenty of lovely ladies rocking this hairstyle on the beach. So chic and simple too! We will definitely be taking this hairstyle on our holidays with us!!

Updos are another fond favourite of Caggie Dunlop and another Made In Chelsea hairstyle which gets our seal of approval. Whether she neatly styles them up with a quiff or quickly puts a messy bun on top of her head, Caggie pulls it off! We adore Caggie Dunlop’s effortless look and the fact that she gives her hair a break from all the styling from time to time! A girl after our own heart, putting her hair first! ♥♥

Which of the MIC girls is your favourite? Any others you think should be included in the blog? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below or pop over to the HeadKandy Facebook to share your thoughts. :)

Kate Middleton's Hair at the Diamond Jubilee Celebrations

Kate Middleton’s hair looked absolutely perfect for the Diamond Jubilee celebrations over the bank holiday and we were LOVING her outfit choices too. Over the course of the celebrations we saw Kate opt for some Jubilee themed shades with her dresses; she appeared in red, cream and blue outfits and they all looked incredible on her!

For the pageant on Sunday, Kate appeared in a stunning red Alexandra McQueen dress with a matching Lock & Co hat; the dress was nipped in at the waist with a gorgeous knee length, pleated skirt and it proved to be the perfect choice for the pageant. Kate Middleton’s hair was styled half-up and half-down with natural movement through the ends of her hair; this style looked gorgeous with her red hat too. This was our favourite look on Kate; we thought the red dress was just amazing.

Our second favourite Kate look from the celebrations was for the Queen’s thanksgiving service at St. Paul’s cathedral. Kate wore a nude lace dress, also by Alexandra McQueen, with a matching hat from Jane Taylor. The Duchess looked ever so angelic; it was a lovely look for her. We LOVED Kate Middleton’s hair style to match this dress though and this was probably our fave of her hair styles from the bank holiday weekend. Kate’s hair was again styled half-up and half-down, but her hair was pinned into a messy bow at the back of her head. This looked super cute … we LOVE!! Her hair had a little more curl and movement through the ends for this look … just perfect. :)

Kate chose a high street outfit for her appearance at the Diamond Jubilee concert; she wore a cute blue and purple Whistles dress and wore her hair in traditional Kate style; her locks were styled with an off-centre parting with lots of volume and movement. Her hair looked fantastic.

We thoroughly enjoyed all of the Diamond Jubilee celebrations here at HeadKandy, but we were loving Kate Middleton’s hair and her gorgeous dresses even more! What did you think of Kate Middleton’s hair for the celebrations and which was your fave style? Leave us a comment or head over to Facebook to let us know. :)

Royal Crown Braid Hair Tutorial

The royal crown braid is certainly a style fit for a princess or a queen and what hairstyle would be more fitting for the Diamond Jubilee festivities over the weekend? This braid incorporates tips from our previous tutorials for the Milk Maid Braid and French Braid but also includes a few new tricks! This style is perfect for summer as it keeps all your hair away from your face, even if you have a bang/fringe this can be tucked into the braid!

Step One

If you’re using your hair extensions for added volume, I would advise fitting these upside down and personally I think your Quad Weft and just one 3 clip weft would be enough for this style. Fit these roughly around ear height before you start.

Step Two

To create the royal crown braid you need to use an inside out french braiding technique...don’t worry about this as it isn’t as tricky as it may sound and gives a gorgeous look as the braid will appear more prominent! I find starting above the ear easiest as you can see what you are creating! Section your hair from ear to ear as it will be the front section you will be braiding first.

Step Three

To create the inside out braid look all you need to do is pass the hair underneath the previous section whereas you would normally position this over the top! So using the same technique from the French Braid tutorial simply incorporate some of loose hair with each section and angle the braid around the front of your hairline.

Step Four

Once you have incorporated all the front section of hair you need to continue the royal crown braid around your head. You should have enough hair to continue using the sections from the front. This can be a little tricky to see how your braid is looking so using a mirror behind and one in front can really help you see what you're doing!!

Step Five

Once all your hair has been french braided you should have a complete ring of braided locks all the way around your head. If you have loads of hair left you have two options...you can either keep braiding this and wrap this inside of the crown braid you have already created or you can secure your braid at the join and use the ends of your hair to smooth out the section of hair inside your braid.

This royal crown braid hairstyle looks stunning and super girly for any of your Summer occasions...why not braid in a ribbon, add in a daisy chain or, especially for the Jubilee, some red, white, and blue bows!! :) We’d love to know if you attempt this hairstyle....add some pics to our Facebook page so we can take a look. :)

Red Carpet Hairstyles at the Glamour Awards

As we all know (well most of us should know, and shame on those who don’t know!!) the Glamour Awards took place on Tuesday night and the stars came out in force with their fabulous red carpet hairstyles!! With hair styled to perfection and outfits to be envied by any designer wardrobe, we just HAD to do a quick round up to show you all!!

So lets begin with Jessie J, who won the award for Solo Artist of the year! Wohoo! Not only can she ‘do it like a dude’, she looks incredible when she plays the lady role too!! We are absolutely in love with her little 1920’s inspired black Julien Macdonald dress which stole the show at the awards. Teamed with subtle dark makeup and a elegant updo, Jessie looked like such a starlet! We are raving over her super elegant red carpet hair style … we very much approve of this look Jessie! 

Eva Longoria stayed bang-on-trend with her red carpet hairstyle and attended the awards with a high ponytail in tow … along with her neon orange, fitted dress, which was designed by one of her pals, the one and only Victoria Beckham!! Love love love the dress, but we love Eva Longoria's hair even more! Hair worn in a high ponytail is a winner in our eyes at the moment, so on trend; Especially when styled with a few curls for extra oomph and texture! J’adore for sure! So easy to recreate too...Give it a whirl :)

Sofia Vergara brought some va va voom to the awards with her lovely long tousled locks which complimented her red dress perfectly! We think she looked super duper HOT and we love how her red carpet hair is styled. Subtle curls were added at the front to help frame her face and we love how it softened up her whole look yet still added texture and sexiness at the same time! This is another hot look at the moment and we would definitely recommend you try giving this look a go!!

Another look we are reaaally loving has got to be Kelly Rowland!! She looked absolutely dazzling in a floor length silk gown and her red carpet hairstyle looked in impeccable condition. We love the simple straight styling and how thick Kelly’s hair looked; even though it was near enough poker straight it still managed to look textured! If this is something which you would love to re-create then why not use your HeadKandy hair extensions to thicken up your hair! So quick and easy to add some extra oomph!

And finallyyyy we have Little Mix!! Yup, they’re back, complete with a makeover and we are BIG fans of Jessy’s and Leanne’s darker hair! Loving the shade change! Jessy looked lovely with her usual tumbling long waves and Perri had her normal cutesy curled hair which we absolutely adore! Jade opted for a updo instead of her wavy hair which we are all used to seeing but we think she looked great with the updo too! Leanne’s hair has GOT to be our favourite though, loooooooooving the volume, the side parting and all the curls!! Just lovely. If you’re a fan of this look too add some hair extensions to make your hair super thick so you can have LOTS of cute curls :). Easy peasy! <3

There were so many other beauties from the Glamour Awards we found it hard whittling it down, who were all of your favourites? Any styles you’d like to give a go too? Let us know in the comments below or tweet us with your thoughts :) <3

Celebrity Hairstyles at the Billboard Music Awards

As one of the biggest events in the music world, the Billboard Music Awards is always the perfect opportunity for the stars to strut their stuff in glamorous gowns and showcase their eye-catching celebrity hairstyles, and this year was no exception with the celebs pulling out all the stops!

One of our fave celebrity hairstyles this year was worn by the gorgeous Carrie Underwood; her blonde locks were styled into voluminous curls and her hair looked gorgeously thick and full of bounce! Carrie Underwood’s hairstyle complemented her princess-like Oscar De La Renta gown perfectly ... we LOVE!
You need oodles of volume if you want to re-create Carrie’s fabulous celebrity hairstyle, so add lots of root lift before you start styling and try using an extra Quad Weft alongside your full head of hair extensions if you want that extra OOMPH!

Another celebrity hairstyle that packed a voluminous punch was Miley Cyrus’ new ‘do! Miley’s bobbed cut looked amazing styled with lots and lots of root lift and some natural movement. We are loving the ombre shade of Miley Cyrus’ hair at the moment too! We weren’t so keen on Miley’s outfit choice for the red carpet though; she appeared in a Jean Paul Gaultier white blazer ... and nothing else ... hmm!

Katy Perry’s celebrity hair style at the Billboard Music Awards was styled with vintage-inspired curls and a deep side parting; this is a look that works really well for the lovely Katy Perry and it looked gorgeous with her purple hues too. Katy Perry matched her purple locks with purple lippie and a lilac Blumarine gown that made her look like a mermaid ... only Katy could pull that off! Katy Perry’s hair never fails to impress us on the red carpet!!

Taylor Swift and Carly Rae Jepsen both opted for super sleek celebrity hair styles with full fringes; Taylor Swift’s hair looked stunning and we think the full fringe works really well for her too! We’re most used to seeing Taylor Swift with curls and waves in her hair so it was lovely to see her hair worn super straight. Carly Rae Jepsen’s hair looked gorgeously shiny and healthy, and we just LOVE her bold fringe, but we would like to see her hair with a little more thickness and volume!

So, those were our fave celebrity hair styles from the Billboard Music Awards, but what do you guys think? Do you agree with our choices or were you loving someone else’s look? Leave us a comment or head over to the HeadKandy Twitter to tweet us with you reply!

Britney Spears' Hair X Factor USA

X factor USA is returning and we couldn't be happier with the line up of judges and the fact we get to spy on Britney Spears’ hair! OF.COURSE.
Alongside Britney on the X Factor US panel will be: Simon Cowell, LA Reid and Demi Lovato (another one we can’t wait to spy on!!)

The first day of filming saw Britney pull out all the stops by wearing a showstopping, tight fitting, bright pink dress which clung to her in all the right places! We think she is looking amazing! Britney Spears’ hair was also looking much thicker than we had seen it a week or so before filming started; since the announcement was made that she was to feature in the show it looks as though Britney Spears’ hair has been given a little bit more va va voom from some hair extensions and we couldn’t approve more. <3

We’re loving the shade of her hair and love it even more in comparison with her dress! Britneys Spears’ hair was styled into voluptuous curls which we adore, and think is a much better choice than her poker straight hair which she was seen with previously!

To style your hair like Britney's be sure to use a large barrelled curling tong to ensure you are left with big bouncy curls which rival Britney Spears’ hair, comb through afterwards and spritz with some styling spray to hold your curls. And voila, you have picture perfect hair. <3

So is it finally fair to say that Britney’s Back B*****? Are you loving her hair? Think it's her time to shine again? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below or pop along to the HeadKandy Facebook page.

Cheryl Cole's Hair at Cannes

We were pretty blown away by Cheryl Cole’s hair and her fabulous dress as she appeared on the red carpet at Cannes over the weekend; the star certainly guaranteed that all eyes were on her for the event and she’s been making headlines since!!

Cheryl Cole’s hair, which is now back to its trademark brunette shade, was styled effortlessly into loose waves for Cannes; her hair was kept with a soft centre parting with the fringe falling either side … the style was super feminine without being too stylised … it was very Kate Middleton ... we loved it!!

And that dress … WOW! Following in Beyonce's footsteps with a feathered dress, Cheryl Cole graced the red carpet in a white Stéphane Rolland Haute Couture gown with a red feathered train. Cheryl’s outfit choice was certainly glamorous, but the low cut back and the snug fit added a super sexy feel too!

We love that Cheryl Cole’s hair is now back to its sumptuous chocolate brown shade and we think the simple styling for Cannes worked perfectly with her eye-catching dress. She managed to keep her hair glam without over styling and this was just what was needed to complement that impressive gown! You can’t deny that this lady certainly knows how to make an entrance, and despite having just a small role in one film, she made one BIG impact at Cannes and worked the cameras like a true star!

What do you think of Cheryl Cole’s hair at Cannes and what about that dress? Do you love her look as much as we do? Tell us in the comment box below or head over to the HeadKandy Facebook page.
