Editor’s tip: Before ironing your hair, don’t forget to spritz heat protectant on your hair first to prevent heat damage. Same goes with blow drying or using any heated styling tool. We highly recommend the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Flat Iron Smoothing Spray for straight hair ironing.
2. Side Sweep Waves

The size of your waves depends on the size of your barrel curler. When going for big, loose waves, go for wider barrels that measure 2.5 to 3 cm in diameter. Meanwhile, if you want tighter curls, use slimmer barrel curlers.
Editor’s tip: After styling, don’t forget to polish your ‘do with extra shine. Apply a few drops of TONI&GUY High Shine Serum Drops.

Catriona Gray: We’re Loving Her New Hair Color!
So, our Miss Universe has changed her hairstyle and hair color and revealed it on her Instagram. Guess what? We’re falling head over heels in love with her make-over and are inspired to copy it! Her bronde (brown + blonde) hair color perfectly suits her silky morena skin and is a favorite among celebrities. This in-between color is a perfect alternative to light blonde which is usually more suitable for fair-skinned girls. Let’s see the different ways we can wear this hair color as inspired by Catriona.
1. Wavy Bronde
This hair color is a little lighter than what Catriona Gray dons and is more suitable for lighter skin tones. The soft waves look more sultry with the bronde color, and looks more voluminous.
2. Bronde on Full Curls
Bronde on full curls looks stunning and oozes with sex appeal. Even if your hair is messy, it will still look amazing. In fact, it’s best to just keep your hairstyle messy and just finger-comb it to give it volume and luster.
Editor’s tip: Even if your curly hair already has volume, it can still greatly benefit from a volumizing mousse like TONI&GUY Volume Plumping Mousse. You’ll feel your hair falling gracefully around your shoulders and bouncing with your every move.
3. Matte Bronde
So, we’re seeing more and more girls wearing the matte hair color and they’re all looking fabulous. Unlike most other hair colors, matte bronde doesn’t have to be shiny. It requires shorter prep time, so you can head out in just a few minutes. Best of all, this hair color gives you the same impact and head-turning factor like other colors.
4. Bronde Ombre
Want to stand out with a new and fabulous hair color? Then, go for ombre-style hair coloring and be mistaken for Catriona Gray (who doesn’t like that?)! Seriously, ombre is the trend today and with bronde, you’re definitely changing the hair coloring game!
5. Bronde Balayage
Don’t we all love the balayage hair coloring technique? It’s unique, edgy, and revolutionary! Once you go balayage, you’re never going back to full hair coloring! Bronde complements it very well and will definitely turn you into a Miss U in your own right!
Catriona Gray is indeed an inspiration to women all around the globe. Her style isn’t the only thing worth copying, but also her actions. It’s time to be a #CopyCat, won’t you agree?
