Kelly Anza's Guide To Love Riot Hair Survival!

If you live in Cornwall there’s almost no way you haven’t heard of Love Riot.

Producing the absolute best club nights in the entire of the South West (and probably the rest of the UK too), these evenings of music, ridiculous fancy dress and much, much too much alcohol are almost always a sell out, and we love them!

Now going to a Love Riot is one thing... Your hair surviving is quite another! Cornwall's Coolest Hair Stylists at Kelly Anza Hair Design give you the low down on their tips for hair survival!  

The Checklist!

• Car/Van – not only are cars a great way to get to any Love Riot event, but they’re great to use as a giant handbag, a changing room and even a tent.

• Sleeping Bag – because honestly, waking up freezing cold in a car at 6 am with a hangover is no fun.

• 2l Bottle of Water

• Painkillers – self explanatory.

• 1 large can of glitter spray – endless Love Riot fun to be had with one of these!

• Spare Pair of Shoes – going barefoot is not fun.

• Torch

• Face wipes – to make you look a little more presentable when you stagger home.

• Alcohol - at your discretion

Now the car’s all packed up, let’s get thinking about your hair, make-up and outfit!

The Outfit

Whilst no one’s going to be looking at your outfit (too busy having a good time!), us girls like to look nice, but after many a Love Riot, we know that comfort is key! We love Motel dresses because they always make a statement, look cool and are flattering, but also they’re almost all made of jersey and are comfortable, cool and go with everything! There are some amazing ones available from MotelRocks.com for just £38! Team with some big earrings and a killer tan!

The Accessories

Stick to a small across-the-body back to keep a few essentials (the amount of phones we’ve lost..) in, and stick to flat shoes! We usually go for trusty gladiator sandals or pumps, but if it’s winter or you think you might be outside a bit more, wellies are always good!

 

The Hair

Hair needs to be dance-proof, sweat-proof, and generally party-proof, so we always say go for something that wasn’t particularly neat to begin with!

Try washing your hair with Paul Mitchell’s Lemon and Sage range of shampoo and conditioner, and then run some Extra Body Mousse through from tips to end, and then scrunch dry or diffuse to get some body and natural waves and curls in those lengths. Using a curling tong or your GHDs to put a few extra curls in, and then use your Mighty or WonderBrush to get some serious volume in those roots! Next, tip your head upside down and spray a generous amount of Freeze and Shine Spray through it, and then plait a few small sections around the front a grip back for a pretty partly look that won’t get in the way of your night!

The Make Up

Whilst there’s no need to got overboard on make-up (it’s just going to sweat off anyway), we still like to put a little bit of effort in! Stick to a tinted mousteriser and concealer, and pat some translucent powder over the top for long lasting coverage! Use bronzer across the forehead, down the bridges of the nose and along the cheekbones to give you a sun kissed glow, and use a little bit of pinky blush on the cheekbones! Use waterproof mascara and eyeliner, and steer clear of too much eye-shadow, it’s just going to melt off! We like using a little bit of glitter gel eyeliner to make our eyes stand out a little. Finish off with a slick of pinky gloss and you are ready to go!
