FIX A BAD HAIR DAY: TIPS & TRICKS

Our first & most simple bad hair hair hack is the messy bun. Not only is this super quick to do, it’s really easy! Perfect for bed hair or locks that just aren’t sitting right. Simply throw up all your hair into a simple bun & secure in place with a hair elastic and bobby pins. The key to this look is messiness, so you can get away with any imperfections.

The next hairstyle to fix a bad hair day are braids! This look is ideal for greasy or generally messy hair. We love braids to conquer a bad hair day as the style actually holds better with ‘bad’ or messy hair. Once braided as desired, you’ll also find it gives added texture. If you’ve got oily fringe, the perfect solution is to braid your bangs to disguise any greasiness. Braids are definitely a fail-safe style <3

This one’s perfect for those who need a quick hair pick me up! Fix a bad hair day by wearing a hat instantly covers up a bad hair day without effect. Simply throw on a felt hat, boho headscarf of cute headpiece! If needed, you can add some beachy curls or braid the lengths of your hair to finish.

Lacking volume or grip? Texturizng spray is your solution to fix a bad hair day! This can be a salt spray, pre-styling texture enhance products or texturizing powder! Simply add some product where needed and you’ll be left with more grip, body and of course, texture in those locks!

And lastly, clip in hair extensions! Not only do they enhance the thickness and length of your hair, they instantly fix a bad hair day. Our QUADLUX range is definitely the solution to any bad hair day! Pair with our favourite style to completely transform the hair – luscious curls! Curls can instantly add glam to your hair, creating more bounce and shine.

Want to know the best way of changing your look with no cost?! Switching up your hair parting! If you’re stuck in a rut with your locks and you’re asking where to part your hair? Or if you want to find out how your part can accentuate your best features, ZALA have got you covered!

Determining where to part your hair is based off 2 key factors: your face shape & your desired look! If face shapes are completely new to you, check out our previous blog post which covers exactly how to identify your face shape.

WHERE TO PART YOUR HAIR – MIDDLE PART

If your face is round/square shaped, the middle part is for you! Perfect for those who want to minimise the appearance of roundness! The centre part helps to slim & elongate your features. Part this part with loose waves, styling to frame your face. This will bring all the attention to your face to enhance those cheekbones! A centre part also give a super boho vibe to your hair.

WHERE TO PART YOUR HAIR – SIDE PART

Oval & oblong face shapes will be enhanced by a side part! Unlike the centre part which elongates the face, the key for oblong faces shapes is to widen & break up the length of your face shape. This can be easily achieved with a pretty side part to perfectly round off the face! A key to side parts is to start approximately above the arch of the brow on the ‘good’ side of your face. We all have one! Paired with loose waves or curls, this will help to enhance your features & add volume to the sides of the head.

WHERE TO PART YOUR HAIR – OFF CENTRE PART

Opt for an off-centre parting if you’re a heart shaped face gal. The asymmetries of this hair parting help to effortless soften any angular or harsh features. Part with an ‘undone’ style, this relaxed style will help to distract and disguise the points of the face.

See? Your hair part can really make a difference to enhance your features! And it’s a super easy peasy way to switch up your look. In the end, go with whatever part you want to rock! xx

With summer quickly approaching here in Australia, the increased humidity can really take a toll on your hair! Whether you have natural curls or straight locks, frizz can be seriously hard to fight! Not to worry – we’ve got your back. ZALA have put together these frizzy hair tips that will help you fight that frizz for always soft and silky smooth hair!

How to Fight Frizz – Frizzy Hair Tips & Hacks

CO-WASHING

Let’s start from the basics and talk about washing. When it comes to frizz, conditioner is key! If you haven’t heard of co-washing before, it’s the process of skipping the shampoo & only conditioning your hair. Sounds a bit scary, we know, but your locks will benefit from this and you’ll definitely notice an improvement in frizziness! And if co-washing is too terrifying, try simply leaving in your conditioner to the lengths of your of your hair for at least 5 minutes. This will be sure to lock in that moisture and fight frizz!

PRODUCTS & SERUMS

Once you washed your hair, it’s time for products. Particularly for frizz, products make a hell of a difference and is probably our #1 of these frizzy hair tips. Anti-frizz serums, leave in conditioners and hair oils are the perfect frizz fighters & mane tamers! Once applied to the hair, serums and other leave in moisture products will make all the difference to smooth down those locks!

DRYING TECHNIQUES

After applying your serums, the way you dry your hair is key when fighting frizz! Instead of blow drying damp hair, let your hair air dry 90% before going in with drying tools. Too much hot air on the hair follicles can make your hair prone to frizz & damage, therefore air drying with results in healthier, smoother locks. Another drying technique is to pull your hair up into a bun or styled into a plait to be left with smooth & frizz-free locks.

WEEKLY TREATMENTS

Our last tip to de-frizz comes with a little TLC for your hair. Regular conditioning treatments will improve the overall condition of your hair whilst preventing frizz. We recommend hair masks once a week for those with naturally frizzy & curly hair, or once a fortnight/monthly for girls with hair prone to frizz. Not only can you indulge in a luscious & hydrating treatment, you’ll be making your hair super happy & look it’s best.

Struggling with unmanageable and frizzy extensions? Sounds like they haven’t been receiving the care they need. Not to worry, you can revive frizzy hair extensions with our super easy tutorial:

There you have it! 4 essential frizzy hair tips to smooth and tame your locks! Let us know the improvements you see, and be sure to mention your holy-grail frizz fighting hair products!

HOW TO CLEAN HAIR TOOLS. Yep, that’s right.You may or may not know, but just like makeup brushes, your hair tools need cleaning too! Overtime, a build up of product, dust, oils and other substances can reside in/on your brushes, straightener etc. It may not seem like a big deal, but you’d be surprised at the difference clean tools can make on the appearance of your hair!

How To Clean Hair Tools

WHY? Just like applying the perfect makeup with clean brushes, your styling & brushing tools need some TLC too! Your hair tools accumulate a build up of conditioner, natural oils & other products over time. Just thinking about the grime in our brushes after weeks makes us cringe. Dirty hair tools can seriously effect the way your hair looks after brushing and styling. Which is exactly why you should be regularly cleaning your straightener, curling wands, combs & brushes!

HOW TO CLEAN HAIR TOOLS – HAIR BRUSHES. Start by removing all of that hair sitting within the bristles! This can typically done with your hands, however you may need the help of a pen to slide through & lift the hair out of your brush.

Now that all the hair has been removed, it’s time to get rid of the dirt & grime! This can be done easily by shampooing your brush. Simply fill a sink with warm water & swish through some clarifying shampoo. Wash the bristle well till clean and then let air dry or blow dry. Once you’re done, you’re left with fresh and clean brush just like new. Next time you’ll brush, you’ll notice added shine & smoothness!

HOW TO CLEAN HAIR TOOLS – STRAIGHTENERS & CURLERS. It’s as simple as wiping down the iron till clean. You’ll be able to visibly notice the grime that has accumulated on the side of your straightener. Super gross, we know! Take an alcohol wipe or rubbing alcohol on a cotton pad and wipe away the residue. Of course, this will need to be done when the straightener off yet still slightly warm. By cleaning whilst it warm, the remaining heat helps to easily remove any product build up.

Now that you’ve got squeaky clean hair tools, we are certain your brushes, straighteners and curling wands will perform like new! This also applies to styling your hair extensions! You can thank us later 😉
