Following on from yesterday’s post on Summer tutorials here is a selected collection of Wintery ones (some old, some recent) for those who haven’t been reading for long 😀

Quick note first, I’ve finally gotten around to setting up a new Deviant Art account so if you’re on there let me know your username so I can add you! Mine is: http://violetlebeaux.deviantart.com/
I get a lot of comments from people up in the Northern Hemisphere saying they are going to save my tutorials for later when they actually reach the season I’m writing about and with the number of posts that have piled up in the tutorials page I imagine it’s probably a little annoying to try to find things XD I know a lot of you are coming into Summer and are probably sick of all the talk of Winter here, so for your convenience here is a selected list of Summer friendly tutorials!
Diy CanCan Hat Tutorial |
I go through a lot of hairspray, I use it pretty much every time I do my hair and I am very demanding as to what I expect from my spray. It takes a lot of oomph to hold up some of the silly styles I wear so my spray needs to be hard wearing but I also like having my hair down and reasonably natural so it needs to have movement.
I’ve tried a lot and hands down my favorite is Cedel Hair Lacquer with the black label, I’ve gone through many cans of this!
Brand- Cedel
Product- Hair Lacquer
Cost- around $7
Available from- Priceline, pharmacies and online stores like this.

One of the things I judge a product on the most is smell and this one has a pretty powerful smell so I suggest you see if you can try some in store before buying. Personally I like the smell because it reminds me of when I worked in theatre and it doesn’t linger around long unlike a lot of the other hair sprays I’ve tried.My favorite part of this spray is that it is meant to be brushed out rather than washed out. This is a huge plus for me because I hate washing my hair every day and I hate products that leave a residue in my hair. At the end of the day I gently brush this out until my hair is smooth and it’s like it never existed. Big plus.You’ve seen a lot of my hair styles on this site before so I thought I would put the spray to a real test, here is how it does holding my fringe straight up in the air. No teasing just spray…Brushed it straight up with a comb:
Gave it a good spray either side and on the top:
Not bad!
Very Something About Mary 😉 Now how will it go when I brush it out…
After 3 brushes:
A couple more…
Good as new. There’s something in this formula which just seems to be magic with my hair, even when it’s down I can spray it over gently, give it a tiny brush and it’s in place but still really natural and there is actually movement. I think the versatility is what makes this a really interesting product and that’s probably why Cedel has been in business with it since the 30’s. No fancy gimmicks, it just works. They also make mini handbag sized ones so plus one for that too. Verdict- Strong smell but works better than any other spray I’ve used. Price is great, bottle is big and it’s very versatile. I wont be switching any time soon. DO WANT |
