Heatless/ Non damaging curls!

Hey everyone! So I don't know about you but since I have straight hair I always want to curl it or crimp it. But since my hair is straight the heat on the curler has to be turned up on high which is pretty damaging and will cause split ends. I just bought these Conair foam rollers so I am going to show you how I use them!

What you will need for this tutorial!
-1 to 2 packs of foam rollers by Conair depending on length and thickness of hair (I used all the rollers in two packs)
- an old rag or t-shirt
- scissors
-marker
-ruler
-anti-frizz (I use Moroccan oil)
- something to set and hold the curls (I used the Loreal Tousle creme and beach spray because I don't want the crunchy feel of hairspray)
-hair brush
-towel
-A toothpick

Thats all!!

Steps:

Part 1: (Preparing rollers)





















1. Open the roller packs and take all the rollers out

2. Remove the plastic clamp on the roller (it is uncomfortable to sleep with)



3. Cut your rag into strips 1 inch thick and 12 inches long (roughly it does not have to be exact)




4. Take a tooth pick to help thread the fabric through the hole of the roller


5. Pull the fabric through and repeat for the rest of the rollers



Part 2: (The tutorial)
1. Take a shower and wash and condition your hair
2. Put your hair in a towel to dry


3. After about 5-10 mins take the towel off and brush your hair
4. Apply your anti-frizz


5. Let your hair dry about 50-60% and apply the tousle creme
6. Let hair continue to air dry (or if its late and your in a rush you can blowdry)
7. Once hair is 95% dry section off your hair and begin to roll (1 inch sections of hair) your hair with the roller and once you reach the top tie the fabric to secure the roller
8. Roll your hair until each section is rolled.

9. Go to bed (It feels like laying on a pillow)
10. When you wake up untie the fabric and take out the roller
11. Play with your hair until you get it the way you like and you are ready for the day!


I love this method of overnight curls because it does not hurt my head by laying on them like most foam rollers do. It is also super fast and there is no fuss, also, roller your hair in the rollers does not have to be perfect because I was going for a messy big curls look! If you want tighter curls however, just roller your hair when it is damper. (If it is too wet it will not dry) I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial! It is so easy to wake up and take out the curlers in the morning and you wake up with gorgeous hair!

(I have hard to curl hair and the curls lasted all day without any hairspray!!!)

Enjoy! Let me know what you think and your favorite way to curl your hair!

Im Back and Better than EVER!

Hey everyone! It has been a crazy long time and I am so sorry for that! I hope you can forgive me please!! I have a new interesting spin on beauty and makeup. My new take on beauty and makeup is that beauty comes from within and the simpler the better! Beauty starts with a healthy diet which is why I eat a primarily raw foods vegan diet. I am going to incorporate my new passion for a healthy lifestyle into my old but still remaining passion of makeup and beauty! I hope you all enjoy this because I am so excited!! This is just a quick little post saying I'm back and explain what you can expect from this blog. I plan on continuing with my reviews, hauls and beauty posts but I am also going to add recipe posts, workout posts and healthy finds!

1-4-All Peel Review

Hey everyone so a little while back if you remember I did a review on the company The Skin Regime. It was a book written by Dana Ramos. The company has come out with their own peel called 1-4-All Peel. As the name states, this is a facial peel that everyone can use!

I was sent this for review purposes but all opinions are my own.

This is a facial peel that works for all skin types and everyone. The reason is because you can build up the intensity. To start for the first time the company (and I) recommend to only use one layer because you need your skin to get used to the peel. After your first couple of times you can build the intensity more (but no more than 4 layers!!). Since lately I have been breaking out which is very rare for me;  I used 3 layers of the peel.

I left the peel on for about 5-10 mins and then I washed it off with soap and water and this morning I saw my pimples are noticeable smaller!! How awesome?!

Overall, I have no negatives to say about this peel. Because it is not very expensive (compared to department store skin care products and salon facials). The only thing is if you have super super sensitive skin I would say this probably isn't the product for you because it does sting a little. But I have sensitive skin and it is fine for me.


The company's website is: http://www.theskinregime.com/

Beachy Hair Tutorial

Hi everyone! I have been loving the beachy hair waves. I have a DIY Sea Salt Spray and a hair tutorial to share with all of you. So without delay lets get started with the post!

DIY Sea Salt Spray:

1/2 tsp of salt (add more for hard to curl hair)

I use Himalayan Pink Salt because it is full of minerals

add the salt to a spray bottle

next add a 1/4 of a tsp of olive oil to add moisture to your hair


add a 1/4 of a lemon (only if you want to lighten hair)

add water to fill the spray bottle



Beachy hair tutorial:

what my hair looks like when it air dries

When I add the salt spray to wet hair


how my hard to curl hair turns out when all I use is the salt spray and let it air dry!




I hope you all liked this tutorial and DIY and let me know if you have any requests for my upcoming posts!
