The event was the launch and learn about Paul Mitchell's new Neuro Intelligent Styling tools. The Neuro®, precision instruments include the Neuro® Dry, Neuro® Smooth, Neuro® Unclipped Rod, Neuro® Unclipped 1.25, Neuro® Unclipped 0.75 and Neuro® Curl. I personally fell in love with the Neuro Curl which creates waves and curls. It has a premium titanium barrel to ensure fast, precisely regulated heat in seconds and the clip grips hair for better style control and a smooth finish. I like my curling wand but this makes curls and waves so much quicker and easier!
The talented staff at Hely Hair Studio were on hand to create a variety of looks using the new Neuro tools as well as new Paul Mitchell express dry products. I opted to try a braided or plaited look because it is something I've never been able to execute myself.
First up I tried a flirty fishtail braid with a plaited crown. It's hard to tell but there is a teeny, tiny braid wrapped around the braid bun! This looked so amazing from the back and is definitely something I could never do myself but I was a bit self-conscious about how it looked from the front. Basically I was all face and I have A LOT of face!
So next we tried braiding just the front from my part to behind my ear and then I played with the Neuro Curl to create some waterfall curls at the end. We also kept that teeny, tiny braid I mentioned before (see it on the left?). I loved this look and it would be perfect for a day at the beach as your hair would be out of your face but not scraped back into a ponytail.
I got some great tips from the team at Hely Hair Studio on how to recreate this look myself but I've not given it a try yet. When you braid or plait your hair like this yourself you need to work upwards rather than downwards--otherwise you end up with what I have had in the past which is just a random braid hanging in your face!

I don't think your childhood hairdo of pigtails with giant ribbons would work for you now. With that being said I couldn't live without my mousse ( oh and diffuser for my blow dryer).
Pretty! I'm growing my hair out and have completely forgotten how to style it now it's shoulder length - I'm taking notes!
Hair looks gorgeous chick, I'm the same completely useless at doing anything with my hair!

Love both of those hair styles! Looks like such a fun event. I also usually just wear my hair down. I'm always impressed by people who know how to do intricate styles!
How fun, that braid is SO cute! When my hair was longer, I loved fishtail braiding it.
I love the first hair style!
