A DEFINITE KEEPER, THE SET RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE GLAMOROUS CURLS

Friday, 8 April, 2016

Last year I was introduced to the best wig I’ve ever had the pleasure of wearing. Not only have I worn the life out of it, I’ve also likely bored you with photos of the same hairstyle since the start of the year (1, 2, 3 covers face!) What can I say, when I love, I love really hard!

Around early March I decided it was time for a new hairstyle and began to search for a new unit, however as fate had it the search was put on pause after being contacted by the pr rep of a brand called Nume, who wanted me to give one of their heat tools a try. I spent a … READ MORE...

CURLFORMERS HEATLESS UPDO ON FINE NATURAL HAIR

Monday, 22 February, 2016

From the very first day I started my natual hair journey I was keen to get my hands on a set of Curlformers. I remember watching a Curlfomers video tutorial by Naptural85 on Youtube, and dreaming of being able to achieve the same gorgeous bouncy curls that she had.

Now these aren’t as you may be thinking flat iron ceramic plates, no these are a set of plastic moulds that can take your hair from curly to straight without the need for heat!

I first came across the CWK moulds at the end of last year, they sent one of my eyebrows shooting right up to the ceiling. I had so many doubts and questions: are these practical? Can they damage hair? How can I get my hands on … READ MORE...

MY WASH DAY REGIMEN TRANSFORMATION – 2 PRODUCTS, 2 TOOLS & 2 TECHNIQUES

Wednesday, 10 December, 2014

I came to realise two months ago that my use of detangling tools was getting out of hand. Around about mid July I had dedicated myself to a low manipulation regimen, but somehow found myself detangling my hair twice in one wash day session, as well as occasionally midweek.

Whilst I was fortunate enough not to suffer the consequences of what I would consider rather excessive manipulation [at least for my hair], I most certainly didn’t want to wait around to find out what would happen if I kept on going! So, I decided it was time to examine my regimen and research into tools, techniques and products that could help make my hair super soft, which in … READ MORE...
