Before any colour touches the hair, I’m going through the ponytail and removing all the shorter hairs, getting everything into neat little bundles ready for colouring.

It probably looks a bit obsessive… because it is 😂 But I genuinely believe the final result starts way before the colour does.

One thing I never skip is . Even though this is beautiful raw virgin hair, I still want to protect it as much as possible throughout the colouring process. If I can keep that softness, shine and quality, why wouldn’t I?

And can we also talk about these Big Poppa foils from … because I don’t think I could colour without them now, They fit the bundles perfectly and make the whole process so much easier.

You’ll also see me writing the timings on every foil. It’s one of those little habits that’s stuck with me over the years. When you’ve got multiple bundles lifting at different rates, I’d rather know exactly where each one is than rely on memory. It keeps everything consistent and means I can give every bundle exactly what it needs.

It’s funny because people usually only see the finished extensions…

They don’t see all these little decisions happening behind the scenes that make the finished colour look effortless

Now… time to see if this creamy blonde turns out exactly how I’ve imagined it in my head

I don’t care what anyone says… I have officially been traumatised. 🕷️

A SPIDER.
Came.
Out.
Of.
My.
EAR.

Not near my ear. Not on my pillow. OUT OF MY ACTUAL EAR.

I’ve replayed every life decision that led me to this moment and I genuinely don’t think I’ll ever sleep the same again. Every itch? Panic. Every tickle? Immediate evacuation.

If you need me, I’ll be wrapping my head in cling film before bed from now on.

Please tell me I’m not the only person this has happened to because I refuse to suffer alone. 😭😂

This is one of those little things that doesn’t seem like a big deal… until you start doing it.

Whenever I remove a set of keratin bonds, I don’t just take them out and hope for the best.

I keep every section organised on my Hair Made Easi refit rackleft side, right side and back all in their own rows.

Why?

✨ It helps me keep the original placement.
✨ It keeps the lengths exactly where they need to be.
✨ My refits flow so much quicker because I’m not constantly trying to work out where everything came from.
✨ And it gives me a much more consistent result every single time.

Sometimes it’s not about working faster it’s about working smarter.

When I shared that we were borrowing the Jaecoo 8 for the weekend, I was genuinely shocked by how many messages I got.

So many of you said, “We’ve just ordered one!”, “We’ve got one and absolutely love it!” or “Please tell me what you think because we’re considering one!”

So… here’s my honest opinion.

We put it through a proper family weekend. Two kids, two dogs, a pram, enough bags for a small holiday and all the chaos that comes with it.

And I was so impressed.

It feels really luxurious without compromising on practicality. Every little detail feels well thought out, from fitting the car seats to loading the boot and actually enjoying the drive. It never felt like I was driving a huge seven-seater, which really surprised me.

As a family, we genuinely loved our weekend with it, and if you’re looking for a spacious family car that doesn’t feel like a big family car, I’d absolutely recommend giving it a look.
