Over the next few weeks, we’re counting down the most popular posts from the Glow this year….
You know you’ve found a good hairdresser when you’re willing to let them chop off six inches of your hair, without having to explain how you want it to look. Helena McGeorge decided to give her hair a dramatic makeover to coincide with an equally big change in her life this year – her first year of university. The rest of Helena’s hair decisions, however, were left to her award-winning stylist, Anthony Nader from Sydney salon Raw. “I left it all up to Anthony – I told him about my hair and that I was excited for a total makeover and left it in his hands,” Helena says, adding she had ‘complete faith’ in Anthony’s expertise and ideas. Read on to find out how Helena’s new style came about – and, more importantly, to see the beautiful ‘after’ shots.
Helena
What made you decide to make a big change? “I’ve probably had the same hair cut for over two years now… I guess it’s always seemed easy having longer hair and not doing anything too drastic. And being a natural brunette, I’ve always dyed my hair darker to be lower maintenance. I guess with the big move to uni this year, I’m feeling excited about new and different things, and embracing a bit of change!” What sorts of things were you looking at to get inspiration for your hair transformation? “The internet makes it so easy to keep updated with what’s trending and what new hairstyles the celebrities are showing off. I love scrolling through Instagram, Pinterest and Tumblr looking for new ideas and inspiration.” Who is your hair muse? “Rihanna. She is constantly changing up her hairstyle and always manages to pull it off in such a confident and sexy way. She could make any style work!” Click through this gallery to watch Helena’s hair transformation unfold.
