Sarah Jessica Parker has had the chop! 

Gone are the Ombré locks that she’s famous for. Her Carrie hair is gone. 

The “Sex and the City” actress debuted her freshly chopped, platinum bob in an Instagram post taken on the set of her new movie, “Best Day of My Life,” in which she plays a jazz vocalist named Vivienne. She stars alongside Renee Zellweger, Common and Isabella Rosselini, according to Variety.

Personally I’m hoping it’s just a wig 🙈

Get The Look, Cover Shoot for Confetti Wedding Magazine

This shoot cover was a challenge as the studio and make up room were so hot. One model had a slight reaction to make up and one model was over heating but I think you’ll agree it all worked out in the end and the result is a gorgeous Magazine cover.

I used everything from Blank Canvas Cosmetics including:

  • Pippa Palette
  • Master Series One Palette
  • Contour cream palette 
  • Powder contour palette
  • Brushes

Lashes were from my favourite BABYDOLL Cosmetics 

Nails were manicured and gelish applied by the talented and funny Michele Burke

The Foundation I used was Make Up For Ever HD


Hair was styled to perfection by the hair maestro Glen Cullen assisted by the selfie king Cian Kavanagh.

Flowers were from A Room In Bloom

Jewellery by Weir and Sons

Hair care favourites 

If like me you have coloured hair/ frizzy hair/ humidity disaster hair or dry ends then you’ll know the struggle is real to keep it looking shiny and healthy.

I have just a few of my favourite oils and sprays I use on the ends of my hair here to show you.  

 
Aussie Miracle Hair Insurance is a leave in conditioning spray which you spray onto hair when it’s wet/damp and I find it amazing when my hair is drying out/frizzy as it calms the follicles down and less frizz. It also makes brushing my hair much easier so I use it on my daughters hair too. 

Semi Di Lino Heat Protectant spray is amazing for giving your hair a glossy shine and it protects it from the heat of your hair dryer/straightener/tongs. 

Revlon Uniq One. I love the smell of this and it definitely helps protect your hair from moisture/humidity/frizz. Leaves your hair soft and manageable too. 

L’Oreal Mythic Oil. This is probably my favourite of all as it just makes my (Frizzy,woolly) hair so sleek,shiny and healthy looking. I carry this with me if I tie my hair up too, to tame any stray hairs or flyaway hairs.

5.Suffering from dead ends?

Don’t give up on them just yet! This is especially helpful for girls who bleach/ombre their hair.

1. Heat a cup of olive oil on the stove until its hot, but not hot enough that it will burn your skin.

2. Grab your hair in your hand like a pony tail, and lower it into the olive oil, allowing the oil to saturate your unhealthy ends

3. Carefully over a sink, slowly pour the rest of the olive oil on your scalp, and comb through your hair. Massage your hair and scalp to evenly distribute the oil

4. Clip your hair up out of the way and let it sit for 15 minutes.

5. Thoroughly shampoo and condition your hair to finish the process.

Repeat this process once a week for healthier, thicker, faster growing hair!

6.Try this protein hair mask to restore and nourish those locks!

All you will need is:

1 Tablespoon Olive Oil

1 Egg Yolk

1 Cup WARM Water

1. Make sure your hair is freshly washed & detangled. Also, pat hair with towel to soak up moisture.

2. Mix all ingredients together.

3. Apply to damp hair. {The best way to do this is to use a bottle with a small opening at the tip and distribute throughout hair.}

4. Once mask is applied, run a comb through your hair to be sure the mask is evenly distributed.

5. Let sit for 30 mins.

6. Rinse hair with warm water & shampoo & condition as normal.

This mask creates healthy, smooth & shiny hair that has more body than before as well as encourages hair growth!
