SCUNCI LOOK OF THE WEEK

LEA MICHELE

Lea Michele stole the show last week and apparently newly single Ashton Kutcher’s heart at the premiere for their new movie New Year’s Eve.  

After getting rather cozy with Mr Kutcher, the normally scandal free Lea has hit the front pages of many tabloid magazines, which have claimed that the Glee singer and actress is the very reason for Demi and Ashton’s split. 

As usual, Lea looked absolutely radiant on the red carpet, with her gorgeously chic locks adding some modernity to her old Hollywood style Valentino gown.

You too can achieve this irresistible look thanks to Scunci and their incredible hair accessories.

Here’s how; after a quick blow dry, run some curl enhancing foam through your hair to maximise volume and ensure that your curls stay intact.  Then roll Scunci’s Self-Grip Rollers 6pack from the bottom of each section of hair, all the way to the top of your crown. Once all sections are done, lightly spritz the bits of hair which are exposed with hairspray, and then leave the rollers in for a few hours to let the hair set.

Once you’re happy with the definition of your loose tresses, you can take the rollers out and run your fingers through each curl to create more volume. For a longer lasting effect, clip the bottom of each curl to the top of your head with Scunci’s No Slip Grip Split Bobby Pins while you finish getting ready. Right before you’re about to head out, un-clip your curls and finish off with another light spritz of hairspray.

You can snap up the Scunci Self-Grip Rollers 6pack for $14.95 and Scunci’s No Slip Grip Split Bobby Pins for just $8.95 at Big W, Priceline and selected pharmacies and salons.

Workin’ it out with Scunci

So spring has finally arrived after the cold and drizzly weather and no doubt you’re keen to come out of hibernation and start to play in the sun. The warmer weather means that it’s finally time to put away that sloppy joe and swap it for a cute dress, pair of shorts and wait for it… your bikini- EEK! Now’s the perfect time to work it out and get into tip-top shape, but instead of doing the usual gym routine, why not give these fun activities a try? You’ll be feeling confident in no time!

Surfing

There’s no denying Cameron Diaz looks superb for her age and her love for hanging ten has no doubt helped her to achieve this. Great for your core and toning your arms, surfing is a fun way to exercise outdoors, however it can definitely leave you with some serious knotty hair. Avoid this by packing your Scunci Grooming Detangling Comb in your beach bag (RRP $8.95), and you’ll be able to not only feel, but look like a pro!

Jogging

This old time classic may sound like a boring pick, but before you grab your runners call a friend the next time you decide to go for a jog. Good friends Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway like to hit the pavement together because it’s a fantastic way to catch up and it also helps motivation. Most people like to keep their hair off their face when they jog, and thanks to Scunci’s Stretch Crochet Head Wrap (RRP $6.95) you can do the same, but in style with bold colours to match the bright weather.

Dancing

After something that doesn’t necessarily feel like exercise? Then get to the dance floor ASAP! Perfect for an entire body workout, dancing is a great and fun way to exercise. Natalie Portman trained in ballet for her movie Black Swan, but there’s also jazz, contemporary, hip-hop and tap – you could even have a night out on the town bustin’ some moves to your favourite tunes, it all really depends on what you prefer. No matter what your style, be sure that your hair is pulled back and pinned securely with Scunci’s No Slip Grip Bobby Pins (RRP $8.95).

Rowing

If it’s your arms you want to tone, why not try your hand at rowing; the sport made famous by Royal Kate Middleton! You can join a rowing club, or better yet make a day out of it with your girlfriends on the lake. It can get a little windy on the water, so be sure to tie your hair up with Scunci’s Evolution Elastics (RRP $8.95) to avoid any knots. Happy sailing!

SCUNCI LOOK OF THE WEEK

NINA DOBREV

Sunday evening saw many celebrities such as Leah Michele and Clare Danes grace the red carpet at the Emmy awards. In our opinion, the look of Nina Dobrev was pretty hard to beat. The star of Vampire Diaries mesmerised onlookers with her divine Donna Karan fishtail scarlet gown and glittering accessories. However, we think her elegant flowing locks deserves the Scunci look of the week!

To get this simple and sophisticated look like Nina, start by washing and blow drying your hair. Whilst drying, flick the ends under to create loose waves. You can redefine the waves afterwards using your hair iron or curling tongs. Then split your hair into a deep side parting using the Scunci Grooming Tail Comb.

To get the slick asymmetrical look Nina has; tuck your hair behind your ear and discreetly secure the hair with a couple of Scunci Mini Pins. These pins are available in a selection of colours, the closer to your hair, the more discreet they will be. For extra effect and volume, tease the roots of your hair with Scunci Grooming Lift and Style Comb. After teasing your hair simply sweep your hair round to the opposite shoulder, spritz some hair spray for extra hold and you’re ready to make jaws drop!
