Clipinhair (Review)



Remy hair extensions are quickly becoming a must have fashion accessory item in South Africa. Clipinhair, based in Cape Town sells affordable,lightweight and extremely easy too attach  100% Remy hair extensions. With eleven different colours to choose from you are bound to find the perfect match! They also come in different lengths as well as styles (straight or wavy).
I have personally owned my own set of Clipinhair extensions for about year now and absolutely love them! They are amazing quality and it was the lowest price on the market without compromising at all on the quality!

As girls, we all love to look and feel beautiful, and one of those ways is making our hair look beautiful. When I have my extensions in I automatically feel more confident and beautiful. With festival season around the corner there is no excuse to look absolutely fashion forward with a pair of Clipinhair extensions. As long as you know how to look after your set of Clipinhair extensions, you will be absolutely fine.

Synergy,Rezonance, Rock the River and Ultra are all events that are within the next few months! If you are like me and have always wanted to wear your extensions to a festival, but are always too afraid they will get ruined...read on.

Caring for Your Clipinhair Extensions at a Festival:
  • After dancing for hours, your hair is bound to be tangled and a bit knotted so when you get back to the tent, comb your hair out with the Tangle Teezer brush
  • If pieces of grass, thorns etc get stuck in the extensions don't start pulling it out as this will pull the air out of the clip. Rather take the extensions out and slowly start taking it out with your hands and Tangle Teezer brush
  • If you spill alcohol into your hair and it is all sticky, make sure to wash it when you get home from the festival. When washing the extensions make sure you do so very gently (See bottom of post for Youtube tutorial on taking care of your extensions)
  • Do not sleep with the extensions in (no matter how drunk/tired or both )! Make sure that you take them out and comb them before putting them into their box.
  • When you get home from the festival make sure to give them a gentle wash with both shampoo and conditioner. Remember that blow-drying can cause unnecessary damage and hair loss so don't do this too often. Remember to always use heat protective products when blow drying/straightening or curling your extensions. 

Festival Fashion for Summer 2013
This  seasons festival fashion is filled with crop tops, bra tops, high waisted denim shorts, flower headbands, pastels and pinks. Clipinhair extensions are amazing as they not only give one heaps of confidence but all the celebs are going to festivals with their extensions.They automatically change an outfit from an average festival outfit, to a fashion forward bohemian goddess! The colour strips and feather strips are really hot for this Summer, they come in a variety of colours and are super affordable and easy to maintain.

OneSight Acoustic Event Giveaway




What is a festival without a pair of Ray-Bans? There are not many things in life that I cannot live without, but my Ray-Bans are one of those things. Established in 1937, the Ray-ban Aviator was designed to protect US air force pilots from high-altitude glare. Today Ray-Bans Aviators aims to satisfy an active and contemporary look and is a must have wardrobe item for any girl or guy who loves the ‘Ray-Bans’ way of life; fun, fearless and active.
                                                             My two pairs of Ray-Bans
                                                
“This Saturday the 23rd of November, Ray-Ban presents ‘Onesight Acoustics’ at the exquisite Backsberg Wine Estate in Paarl. This relaxed yet uber trendy event will raise funds for OnsSight and will feature amazing local performers such as Arno Carstens, aKing and Al Bairre. OneSight is Luxottica’s global charity that helps give back the gift of sight through eyewear clinics, to those who cannot afford it. Over the last 25 years OneSight has helped 8.4 million people in 40 countries to receive proper vision care. Ray-Ban, as part of the Luxottica Group, supports OneSight and the aim for this acoustic day out at Backsberg Wine Estate is to raise R130 000-00 for the charity.

Funny man Rob van Vuuren, who recently returned from a very successful tour of ‘Three Little Pigs’ to Edinburgh and Amsterdam, will be the MC for the day. In addition to the excellent entertainment value ‘OneSight Acoustics’ is set to deliver, this day out is in aid of a very worthy cause. Help OneSight to eradicate the global vision crisis, affecting more than half a billion people, whose sight could be restored with an eye exam and a pair of glasses. Money raised from this event will specifically go towards the annual Vision Clinics hosted in South Africa.

Food stalls will serve light meals while Backsberg will be selling wine, beer (please no BYO) and soft drinks - picnic baskets and blankets are encouraged for those who want to make a day of it. Ray-Ban urges everyone to be responsible – don’t drink and drive.

Tickets are available online from Plankton.mobi – R150 per ticket, with kids under 6 allowed in for free and over 6 (up to 18 years) only R80 per ticket. Gates will open early at 11am while entertainment kicks off from 2pm” (Press Release,Ray-Ban)

Luckily for you I have a set of double tickets to this amazing event on Saturday 23rd November.This event is a perfect way to not only mingle with the Ray-Ban crew as well as socialites, but a  way to give back to a really good cause!
