10 Reasons Why Shaving Your Head is Amazing

17:00 1

1. The first and most obvious reason, to raise money for a great cause. I raised nearly $1,000 for the Leukemia Foundation and that's a pretty damn good feeling!

2. You save so much time getting ready.

3.  You save a tonne of money on shampoo, conditioner and hair styling products.

4. Bad hair days are a thing of the past! No hair = no bad hair days.

5. You get to start over with a clean slate. My poor hair had definitely seen better days. Years of colouring and heat styling had left it in pretty bad shape but now, I get to start fresh with completely natural, untreated hair.

6. Your style changes. I've found that things I used to wear no longer seem to suit my new look. I've definitely noticed some changes to the way I pick out my wardrobe these days.

7. Your makeup game changes. I feel like having a shaved head has brought out my eyes and my cheekbones a lot. It really changes what I choose to focus on when I do my makeup.

8. You don't have to worry about how many days you've gone without washing or how your gym/hair washing schedule is going to play out for the week. My hair is so short that I can wash it whenever and it takes literally 5 seconds to towel dry.

9. The future is an open book! Will I keep it short? Grow it out? What style will I go for? The opportunities are endless.

10. A whole new world of accessories has opened up for me. Hats, beanies, bandanas, scarves, so many accessories, so little time!

Matrix Haircare - Rock It Texture

17:00 0
As someone with fine, dead straight hair, I'm always on a quest for volume and texture. I want to look like I just got back from the beach, instead of looking like I just got drenched in oil. Enter Rock It Texture. This is one of very few ranges I've found that actually makes my hair look half decent, without making it dry or sticky.
Rock It Texture Range 

This range is made up of Rock It Texture Shampoo ($16.95), Rock It Texture Conditioner ($16.95) and Rock It Texture Sea Salt Spray ($25.00). Apart from looking really cool in apple green packaging, these products actually work! From the first shampoo, my hair looked amazing. After a couple of weeks, I found I could use my normal shampoo and conditioner and then throw in the Rock It Texture range once a week to once a fortnight to give a little added boost and give back some of the texture and volume I so desperately need. 

It's also safe to use on colour-treated hair and won't make your colour fade. The range smells amazing too, very fresh. It's especially good for shorter or wavy hair as it gives those styles a certain boost. A special shout out to the Sea Salt Spray (if you're a long-time reader, you know I love a good sea salt spray) as it's the BEST for texture but doesn't make your hair sticky or dry.

BioSilk - The Power of Silk

17:00 0
BioSilk is a US hair care brand that has recently landed in Australia. If you couldn't guess from the name, all of the products in the BioSilk range are infused with silk which contains amino acids to keep hair soft, strong and shiny. Here are four of my favourites from the range:

I do love my Batiste but this dry shampoo is the nicest smelling one I've ever come across! It doesn't have a white colour to it either which means you don't have to work so hard at brushing it out and blending it in.


I've pretty much abandoned traditional conditioner because I can't seem to find one that doesn't make my hair immediately greasy. This is my current favourite hair product and the solution to my conditioner woes. It smells amazing and adds just enough moisture, all in a handy spray form!


Since my transition to shorter hair, texturising sprays have been a constant companion. This one is one of few I've found that give really nice texture without leaving hair feeling sticky or dry. Pretty much a must-have for anyone with short hair.


This is perfect for anyone with dry, damaged hair that's also fine or gets oily easily. Because the formula is so light weight and absorbs so easily, it won't weigh down fine hair or make hair too oily. I've also started using this as an overnight treatment and then washing it all out in the morning to leave me with amazing soft and shiny hair.

Although the BioSilk range is a little pricier than other drugstore brands, I think the products are well worth the price. 
Have you tried anything from the BioSilk range?
