Once the buffet table had been thoroughly raided (mostly by yours truly!) and there were cocktails in hand, it was time for Amber and Zara our lovely Aussie stylists to talk about how to achieve volume and what products to use (The Aussome Volume range of course!)

Jennifer had been selected to be the hair model and her hair was set with hot rollers, before being shaken out to style her hair into gorgeous waves and curls. Our stylists had so many hints and tips for achieving volume, including leaning at a 45degree angle when blowdrying your own hair, working mousse through damp roots before blasting with a hairdryer, and spraying the Volume and Gloss hairspray on the roots before backcombing. There’s no excuse for us to have a flat hair day now, ever again…

Once the demo was over, Amber and Zara then got to work on everyone else, using the Aussome Volume mousse, Volume and Gloss spray and the Texturising and Conditioning gel to create height that we’ve only ever dreamed of! Liloo went for a brilliant half- beehive, Carla achieved a beautiful 60’s do and Jenn managed what looked like a completely new haircut!

Whilst the Aussome hairstyling was in action, the talented Shola Kaye took to the, er, carpet, and performed the first set of early Motown hits, before hitting the floor again; this time armed with extra microphones. Lyrics were dotted about the room which meant the Angels had no escape, not that they wanted any when they realised how much fun it was!

Throughout the night the Angels and guests were asked to write down their hair tips and pop them in our Aussie Style Tip Boxes, because at the end of all our Tribe parties we’ll be putting together a Style Bible with all the tips, to send to our Angels.

Before we knew it the evening had come to an end, and, with high hair and high spirits, the Angels left the party armed with goodybags full of products they could use to recreate their look at home.

Thanks to all who came along;  it was so great to see everyone together to celebrate Aussie and the 60’s!  To check out more pics of our Aussome Volume Tribe night, just click here.

Everyone enjoys receiving a compliment, and it’s just as much fun giving one, so we spent the day doing just that – hunting down gals with gorgeous hair and letting them know how much we loved their barnets!

Top knots, hot crops and va va volume were the order of the day, and despite the windy weather our festival goer’s still managed to get it right time and time again. Check out some of my top picks from the day below, and let me know what you what you consider to be Yummy Hair – is it great colour you rate, or cut or style? And how does it affect you when you’re having a Yummy Hair Day? I for one feel so much more confident when my hair is behaving itself, but I don’t want to leave the house if it’s not! We’d love to hear how you feel, so get commenting…

Cool hat and hot hair - definitely a Luscious Long lady

Perfecting the top knot - a little Hi Shine hairspray goes a long way!

As we cruised about, catching sun and catching bands, we couldn’t help but constantly scan the crowds as everywhere you looked was girls with Yummy Hair!

The 'A' Team

Aussie Angels Reena, Sherin and Fi

Overall we had so much fun, and we highly recommend trying it yourself sometime – scouting for great hair is seriously addictive, and you’ll absolutely make someone’s day!

Hmm, do they use Aussome Volume or Colour Mate??

My favourite of the day - such a gorgeous red! I know which tribe she belongs to...

Thanks to Reena, Sherin and Fi for joining us on this mission to spread the Aussie Love, take a look here for who Sherin found having a #YummyHairDay, here for more pics of the day, and don’t forget to Tweet me @YummyHair if you have one yourself!!

Happy hair hunting :  )

Once everyone had arrived, there was a quick welcome speech followed by 2 demonstrations on how to do up-do’s with long hair by our Aussie stylists Amber and Zara. Whilst demonstrating each step of what they were creating, the stylists also discussed the best way to take care of long hair, and which products to use – the Luscious Long range of course! The eucalyptus in the range is perfect for long hair, as it cleans, nourishes and protects hair from fly-aways but doesn’t weigh the hair down.

Hayley’s retro do was created using a round brush and the Aussome  Volume hairspray, giving her up – do a boost whilst holding it in place. Zoe’s rapunzelesque plait was created with a quick blowdry and a spritz or two of the Luscious Long leave-in conditioner before being plaited and finished off with a pretty flower.

When the demo’s were over the party got into full swing, giving the Luscious Long tribe members the chance to meet, mingle and bond over their long hair trials and tribulations, and between chats everyone got to visit the stylists to have a hair makeover.

Cinderella arrived, albeit missing a shoe, but luckily Prince Charming was close behind her, ready to reunite her with it. There was a touching moment when he placed her shoe back on, however poor Snow White wasn’t too happy about the whole thing, as apparently Cinders wasn’t the only one he’d charmed. As the Angels will attest to, Prince Charming did indeed live up to his name!

By the end of the night, everyone had shared how they care for their lusciously long hair, met their fellow tribe members and been chatted up by Prince Charming – always a good Saturday night when that happens!

Sinead, Carla, Catherine, Liloo, Briony-Lou, Phoebe and Daisy all popped by our luxury penthouse to be greeted and treated with champagne cocktails from our bartender Ian, followed by hair styling with Amber, and then a session in makeup with Cassie and a consultation with our stylist Steven to complement their hair.

We asked the girls to think of what hair styles they’ve never tried or have been unable to do themselves, and then Amber got to work creating the look they were after, whilst talking them step by step through how to do it themselves at home.

Each step of the way all tips were written down by the stylists and the Angels, so by the end of the night everyone was armed to the teeth with the tips and tricks the experts were sharing.

This do on Phoebe was created using the Hi Shine hairspray, Aussome Volume mousse and Velcro rollers – Phoebe kept them in for a good 20minutes and then voila! Beautiful waves and shine!

So, keep your eyes peeled for what our Angels thought of this fun and informative night, and stay tuned for where our superhero Roo will be bounding next…Aussie, to the Rescue!

How did you get your first break in the industry?

Styling the hair for The Jasper Gardiva Autumn/winter10 lookbook. The lookbook was given out to every one at his show so it was a great opportunity.

Who or what inspired you to become a hair stylist?

Guido Palau and Eugene Souleiman because of the beautiful way they style hair, it blows me away every time I see their work and I really look up to them.

What has been your most exciting assignment to date?

Working back stage at London fashion week last season was really exciting; it’s pretty busy but I enjoying doing it!

Who’s been the best celebrity to work with?

Brain Friedman and Hofit Golan were so much fun to work with and they were both lovely.

Who or what has been your biggest disaster?

At the start of my hairdresser training my lovely mum had a few wonky hair cuts but her hair is beautiful now!

If you could pass on one hair stylist secret, what would it be?

Always use conditioner on your hair when washing, it will make your life so much easier! If you can try and leave the conditioner on for 3 minutes give it time to work deep into your hair. The secret to good hair is good condition, I recommend Aussie 3 minute miracle!

What are the key looks for Summer?

Soft updo’s like the hair from Spring/Summer 2010 Alexander Wang, Chanel, Prada. Are great looks for the summer, really pretty and perfect for the hot Summer days!

I think Alexa Chung and Florence Welch  are both working the soft summer looks this year.

Which celebrity have you always wanted to work with?

Gisele Bundchen and Maria Carey because they both have great hair and I’m a huge fan of them!

If you weren’t a makeup artist / hair stylist, what would you be doing instead?

I love my job so that’s a hard one but I think I would be a clothes stylist or work in child care.

Once all our Aussome Volume members and their guests had arrived, we had a quick welcome speech by yours truly, followed by  a chat with our hairstylists on the topic of most interest to the tribe – how to get your hair to reach new heights!

We found out that the Aussome Volume shampoo and conditioner’s magic ingredient is hops, which is also found in beer (but it won’t give you a beer belly, we promise!), and the mousse that gives you va va voom contains cherry bark, a special Aussie bark that adds bounce and shine.

Check out the amazing volume and shine Hannah, Amy S, Amy and Zoe achieved after Amber and Zara styled their hair using the Aussome Volume products, wow!

The demo was quickly followed by cocktails and individual hair styling, as our stylists Amber and Zara got to work creating beautiful beehives and voluminous barnets, using the Aussome Volume mousse and hair spray.

The night would not have been complete without a little music, and it came in the form of the brilliant Shola K, who rocked all the classics whilst looking ultra glam in her evening frock and Supreme – esque wig. By the second set we all took it turns to join her on stage, singing our hearts out and hogging the microphone whenever we got the chance!

A total of ten lovely local London Angels descended upon our luxury apartment at the Hempel at 7pm, to enjoy a cocktail or two and learn from our crack team of Aussie experts about how to achieve looks that they can easily recreate at home.

The Angels had been asked to think about any “life situations” they had coming up, or to have a look for any catwalk or magazine pics that had inspired them but they just weren’t sure they could do on their own. From there, our hair stylists Amber and Zara got to work, creating styles and talking the Angels step by step through which Aussie products were needed to achieve the look, how to use them, and how to actually pull the whole look together.

Our makeup artist Jo was also there to complete the look, and our favourite stylist Steven was on hand to delve deep into what suited who and how to throw together an outfit to rock any occasion, from work to weddings and everything in between.

Check out here for the full range of pics, or take a look here for Sherin’s take on the evening, and here for Kirsty’s experience.

Want in on the action too? Well don’t worry as we’ll be hosting another #ATTR in Leeds and a second one in London, so watch this space!

How did you get your first break in the industry?
I assisted different make up artists after I trained; eventually the hard (and often free) work paid off and I got to work on some amazing photo shoots and TV programmes, and I have been lucky enough to continue from there.

Who or what inspired you to become a makeup artist?
Firstly, I have always loved make up! Secondly, A fascination with magazines and celebrities style! I could look at magazines endlessly, always getting inspired from photographs, wanting to be able to re-create looks that I had seen. Now I get to create the different looks myself on a day to day basis and work in such an exciting industry; I still have to pinch myself to believe that this is my job.

What has been your most exciting assignment to date?
Probably one of my first jobs – I loved working on City of Vice, it was a Channel 4 Programme. It was my first TV assignment and I loved the whole experience, something different to anything I had ever done. Also getting my first Front Cover – I loved every moment of the shoot, I enjoyed the pressure of knowing that if we got it right it would make the front cover, and seeing the end results was so exciting and rewarding.

Who’s been the best celebrity to work with?
Everyone who I have worked with to date has been so lovely.

Who or what has been your biggest disaster?
Embarrassingly, asking a lead actor if he could help me clean up a spillage as I thought he was the cleaner! He kindly obliged…it wasn’t until later on set I realised who it was!

If you could pass on one Makeup artist secret, what would it be?
Less is more for any look!

What are the key looks for Summer?
Fresh faced, radiant skin is a key look (and one that will never date). Pastel shades are making a come back over summer; a soft glowing flush on cheeks and pinks and corals for the lips.

What celebrities are really working the look this year?
Lauren Conrad, Kate Bosworth, Kate Hudson – all fresh faced and glowing!

Which celebrity have you always wanted to work with?
Meryl Streep and Julie Walters; I just love them!

If you weren’t a makeup artist / hair stylist, what would you be doing instead?
It would have to be something rewarding, perhaps a form of charity work, helping people or children in need. The most amazing days in my job so far that will stay with me forever have been those spent making people feel better than they ever have, bringing back confidence that has sometimes been lost through illness or hardships in life, through something as simple as a makeover. If I could do that every day for people that would be a dream come true.

Once we’d all arrived, bedecked in sailor hats, stripes and various nautical themed attire, (including a fab anchor tattoo on Fi’s arm!) the evening kick started with a quick welcome by Aussie Emma (moi), followed by chats with the Aussie Stylists Amber and Zara, who talked us through how best to care for dry hair, and the best way to use the products from the Aussie Miracle Moist range.

Katy and Emily were asked to be the hair models for our stylists to demonstrate a couple of do’s (why can’t I just have a stylist living in my closet every morning??) and then one by one everyone took it in turns to have their hair styled by the pro’s.

In the meantime, any sailor worth his salt loves a thimble of gin or two, so it was only fitting to treat our Miracle Moist Tribe members to a cocktail master class! Everyone was able to go behind the bar and make their own attempt at a cocktail, whilst macadamia nuts in treasure chests were on hand to compliment the scrumptious drinks (macadamias are the main ingredient of the Miracle Moist range, but they’re not just good for your hair, they’re absolutely delish too!)

If you want to check out the all the pics then click here , and I’ll be keeping you updated over the week with what our Angels have to say about the night, so sit tight!

Just a quick one to shout about the Miracle Moist Tribe party we have this Saturday night in Birmingham.

It’s a nautical theme, and being held at the Island Bar (note the careful choice of bar name!) I hope the MM girls are gearing up as much as we are! Look out for the full report on Monday, and in the meantime check out these lovely posts from Hayley, Eleanor, Leia and Lil on the last Tribe party we had, the Frizz Miracle Tribe Mad Hatter’s Tea Party….
