Product review !!

Hey salala viewers we hope you are having a great time and enjoying your holidays !!!  Today's post is  a product recommendation. We have noticed that every time we straightened our hair it just lost its volume and looked really dull . Obviously we don't have the luxury to regularly visit a hair saloon and have a professionally done blow-dry. Thus, we decided to look around and we  managed to find the perfect product: 'babyliss big hair' . Laura actually got it as one of her Christmas presents and she hasn't stop using it . The babyliss big hair  just spins(in both directions) around and blasts out warm or cold air and as a result you can dry ,straight and give a natural looking volume to your hair all at onceeeeee!!! Price tag is around to £39,99 or 48,83Euros .Totally worth it


 







We bet even angelina jolie uses it hahah ;p 

thank you so much the salala team
Afrodite and Laura
are wishing you a happy new year !!!

back to 60's

60's the decade of innovation in every section, fashion , music,science and technology. It was a revolutaniary decade for music .By the mid -1960s ,rock and roll in its purest form was gradually overtaken by pop rock.By the end of 1962 the british rock scenehad started with beat groups like the Beatles and the rolling stones. 





The Beatles exerted a major influence on youn men's fashion and hairstyle.Liverpool's miracle boys :



listening while reading , 
you gonna feel more the 60's


The 1960s featured a number of diverse trends. It was a decade that broke many fashion traditions, mirroring social movements during the period. In the middle of the decade.In the early-to-mid-1960s, the London Modernists known as the Mods were shaping and defining popular fashion for young British men while the trends for both changed more frequently than ever before in the history of fashion and would continue to do so throughout the decade


rolling stones 






After designer Mary Quant introduced the mini-skirt in 1964, fashions of the 1960s were changed forever. The mini skirt was eventually to be worn by nearly every stylish young female in the western word and push out the longer skirt lengths that were worn before.

                                                                     The Legend Twiggy 















Fashions in the early years of the decade reflected the elegance of the First Lady, jacqueline kennedy . In addition to the pillbox hat which is discussed in detail below, women wore suits with short boxy jackets, and over-sized buttons. Simple, geometric dresses, known as shifts, were also in style.

Carnaby street and Cheleas king's road were virtual fashion parades



Models like Twiggy (who had been a mod herself) began to exemplify the high-fashion mod look, with the ever decreasing hem-line of the mini skirt, brightly coloured patterns and high boots becoming prevalent.






Women's shirts often had transparent sleeves. Psychedelic prints, hemp and the look of "Woodstock" came about in this generation

  Wearing sandals was also part of the hippie look for both men and women. Women would often go barefoot, and some went braless.









on the other hand the haute couture was gaining ground more and more
