GET THE VINTAGE HAIR LOOK!

Leta & Marisa had their hair styled by Morne Marx with our own Parade Hair products - products all especially chosen to achieve that vintage look we all love!

Follow these steps to get the look:

• Use the Parade Atomic Rock Set Spray to set your pin curls, further spritz with Leading Lady hair spray to fix, wrap in a cute scarf.
• Leave in while you do your make-up and allow to "set"
• Lastly, gently brush through with a wide tooth comb, paddle brush or Denman style brush. Use the Just smashing hair glass to smooth and fly aways or frizz! Voila!
