Luscious Locks with David Gillson

June 25, 2013 in Other

As mentioned in my last post my hair has been in need of some serious attention as having long blonde hair sure does takes it toll. In fact all hair tends to need some extra care in winter time.

I was fortunate enough to have the incredible David Gillson from Carlton Hair cut and colour my hair. I just needed some of the dreaded split ends cut off and a little extra styling to create better flow. Colour-wise my hair is still light blonde but it now has a more natural and nurtured look (and feel) to it. He is a total genius after all.
David Gillson is a Salon Owner at Carlton Hair and hairstylist for celebs like Tamara Dey, Leanne Liebenberg and Jennifer Su.He’s been a Style Awards contributor to local fashion magazines such as Elle, Marie Claire, Fairlady, and Glamour. He’s also won an SA Style Award for Best Hairstylist and Innovative Style.

I asked him a few questions about the latest trends in terms of cut and colour this season, as well as what hair product should be in every women’s beauty arsenal this winter…

“Having just returned from Paris and London I’m super inspired by all the new and exciting things going on in Europe.

Cuts ~ Punk is having a moment with a huge retrospective at the Metropolitan Museum in New York , David Bowie at the V&A London and social unrest globally the Punk attitude is back this time the look is softer looser and much prettier but we are definitely seeing a bit shift towards more texture in hair cuts and much stronger shapes. Long hair has more volume and a rougher loose feel , Bobs are choppy and textured like model of the moment Karlie Kloss’s hot new bob and the punk Pixie is THE cut for short hair as seen on the Marc Jacobs winter 2013 show on all the models.

Colour~ The beach relaxed feel of Ombré hair has been replaced by something of a stronger statement . The Queen of Ombré Alexa Chung has replaced her signature look with an amazing light golden brown high gloss brown. Low maintenance colour has been replaced by high maintenance colour hair that is glossy bright with high shine there is a tendency for the roots to be slightly darker with slightly lighter ends but it is a natural progression of colour with no visible line. Strong solid colour is were it is at brunette’s are rich and velvety, red’s are of a more violet tone , copper’s has a soft apricot hue and bleach blonde has been replaced by soft peach ,pales pink and blonde of the moment rose gold.

The Davines natureltech Nurishing line the defense to a harsh winter. The newest line from Davines the Oi oil shampoo , conditioner and oil is an award winning hero product line.”

WOW!!! I knew that if a place is using @frysfamily WOW!!! I knew that if a place is using @frysfamily products then the results would be good. What I did not expect was arguably the best sushi I have ever had! @johndoryssa you have outdone yourself with this vegan “prawn style” sushi platter. I got it as a takeaway as you can see but I’ll certainly be back very soon for another platter. Now I’m really keen to try the “prawn style” tacos too.

*And yes the Mayo etc is all 100% vegan and so is the “roe”. All plant-based deliciousness💕💕💕

I’m definitely bombarding Instagram today but as I’m definitely bombarding Instagram today but as I mentioned in my previous post, it was my mother’s 70th. The birthday turned into an entire week of celebrations. As I wasn’t sure when I’d be able to see her again, with the ever-changing lockdown levels. 

It’s been fun with surprises arriving almost everyday for her. Aside from this gorgeous #Vegan birthday cake from @emmasvegancakes, nothing else was actually a part of the original birthday plans! We were meant to be all on a safari and my sister (from the UK) was meant to be here. 

However, we made it as memorable as we could!! Also, the main thing that makes a birthday, a birthday, is birthday cake right??! 

Who still thinks that vegan food is just “vegetables” or has to be boring. Going plant-based doesn’t mean missing out on any treats. 

This gorgeous & delicious vanilla cake was amazing. It actually reminded us of my granny’s famous family cake. She passed away at 94 and if I recall correctly she was still regularly whipping up those cakes until 90! Although those definitely weren’t vegan. 

Be sure to check out @emmasvegancakes professional 100% vegan cake and cupcakes. #supportsmallbusinesses

On Monday, the 18th of January, it was my incredib On Monday, the 18th of January, it was my incredible Mother’s 70th birthday. The woman who brought me into this world, taught me so much. She is also my best friend. Someone I can talk to about everything and anything, our family truly has no filters! 

This year it was even more special just by being able to celebrate with her. Which is why simply spending time with her turned her birthday into a week long celebration! It started on Friday! Mostly due to the fact that being able to spend time this together and physically see her was the biggest blessing. With everything going on in the world right now, to be able to both be healthy and together is all we could of asked for. 

To even think of what my sister, who couldn’t fly down from the UK, rest of the family and I had planned for her. Even for all of us from December until now. It all seems so surreal... The world has truly changed. I wish my sister could of been here with us, but she was in a sense as with such a massive birthday bouquet I wouldn’t of been surprised if she was hidden in there!

This summer heat is definitely making the days fee This summer heat is definitely making the days feel far longer. Also, since doing both #Veganuary2021 and the @RushTush Vegan Glow Cleanse, prepping food in advance has become a part of my routine. No more rushing to make quickly make something or quickly ordering a takeaway. This means healthier and more filling meals. So usually at this time it’s simply snack time. Fresh pineapple is a favourite. I sometimes even ice mine!

I have so many personal posts I want to write but am also afraid of sharing. Especially at a time when it seems like everything brings out the “ugly” in people. Anyone else feeling the same?

Oh just casually forcing my fur kids to love me!!! Oh just casually forcing my fur kids to love me!!! 

Just kidding, they usually the ones begging for love. @candi_onewoofatatime sleeps on my feet as in on. To trap me or on my actual head. @oneroccoatatime also tries to do the “on mummy’s head” move even though he weighs 32kg. Or he sleeps alongside us like a real big boy that snores. They the most amazing little souls and have helped me through so many tough mental health times. 

Yes, we allow our dogs on the bed. They are actually cleaner than most humans 💕

Should have of course posted these last night but Should have of course posted these last night but hey the evening was SO crazy!! Haha actually it was a total bust. Arguing over midnight music, weird tasting cocktails and hangry as my pizzas were taking too long. But we were together and alive so I guess that’s a plus. Tried to create a “holiday” vibe with whatever I could find around the house.
