Talk about Big! My hair is taking well to the Lush Big Shampoo - smells so good and thanks to having so many pictures of myself...haha...I can tell it's getting a lot more volume. I'm going to try to wait at least a month before giving it a verdict, but so far I'm really pleased. =) The best part, probably, is that it's so effective yet at the same time completely vegan. Don't get me wrong. I eat meat and wear fur but understand, for health reasons, why being a vegetarian or vegan is beneficial. And I'm definitely making as many efforts as I can to eat food and use products that are as natural as possible.

This photo is after three uses with the shampoo + blow drying with Rusk Thick Body and Texture Amplifier - the best styling spray for volume. I spray it on my roots and then blow dry my hair upside down with a diffuser.

Seriously guys, my goal is to get my hair HUGE.

The only thing missing is the perfect scrunching/curl enhancing product. I've tried pretty much EVERY SINGLE scrunching product available and the best one is Aveda Sap Moss - which to my heartbreak is discontinued ='( Literally, they discontinued the best product they have. Perfect and soft waves all day and I've yet to find a suitable replacement.

Send me your recommendations if you have any!

Your hair is getting there! There is volume! So I'm jealous. I don't like my flat hair... boo, but I guess it's not obvious with my bowl cut. So you wanna grab lunch sometime with me and Enid? Sushi perhaps? Will you be going to the San Francisco Fashion Show event on Saturday? I'm going to the Saturday one, because Alyssa is showing her collection on that day!

This is really gorgeous! Simple, but still interesting, and very soft & pretty.

Mmm your hair looks lucious. I think you should keep it that way without the scrunching or curls! It looks really really nice. By the way, how tall are you?! I always thought you looked tall, but those wedges make you look even more tall!! Love the wedges! <3

Not sure if this is the kind of "curl" you want, but I did a tutorial of it in this blog post: click. Hope it somewhat helps!

love this! the neutral dress/shirt mixed with black tights, red lips and those fabulously large white shoes... so good! and I love that you want that "huge" look. I went through a phase like that... I did a lot of blowdrying upside down and that root stimulator stuff really works!

you just turned basic into super sexy!
i totally know what you mean when you say big hair! i want the same. yours looks gorgeous though. i curl my hair almost every day (soft beachy waves) and it seems to have stayed and created more volume for me, maybe you can try that?

good luck with the vegan thing! please let us know how that goes :)

I don't think words really describe how effortlessly beautiful you look everyday!

I'm actually vegetarian - I used to be vegan for about 6 months but when I went to Europe for two months I conceded it would be a bit difficult to maintain! I find not eating meat has made me feel better emotionally and physically x
