Excerpts From The Live Demo With Charis Hair, Plus a Surprise Proposal!

If you're into hair and or/weddings and you're on Instagram then you must have heard of and/or seen stuff by the amazingly talented lady Tola Olayanju whose handle is @CharisHair. She does some of the most stunning and intricate wedding hair styles that leave you oohing and aahing and wondering how she does it!

So on the 6th of December she hosted a live demo class at the Protea Hotel in Maryland, Lagos where she taught some of her tricks and shared very useful tips and information on bridal styling.

My First Bride of 2015!

Sometime late last year, this lovely young lady got in touch with me about styling her hair for her big day. She wasn't entirely sure what style she would be going for so we went through a number of trials before settling on the styles.

Now as is the case with most brides these days, she was going to be changing her dress at some point during the reception but she didn't just want to change her dress, she also wanted to change her hair styles - a formal do for church and the early part of the reception and then something more 'fun' for the latter part of the day.

Clip ins - washed and conditioned

After initial consultations, we decided we'd use the 'For Kinks' Heat Free Hair Clip ins to create both styles and she went about ordering them. Going by the ones I'd used on brides in the past, I knew the color would be slightly lighter than her hair so we agreed I'd color the hair to a darker shade.
