Hair post: Big Waves

Image
Just a little tutorial of my morning routine of setting my hair in rollers. A few weeks ago I mentioned that I bought some jumbo hairsetters to create a little more volume in my hair. Well, these things are the best decision I've ever made when it comes to hair tools. I haven't touched my flat iron in weeks! Conair Pro Babyliss Pro Ceramic Jumbo Hairsetter First, lets get a before shot. This is right after my hair has been washed and blowdried. I used Frederic Fekaii Volume boost Shampoo and Giovanni Deep leave-in Conditioner. I plug in the hair rollers and they're ready in about 5 minutes. Yes, that's fast! I can tell when they're ready when one of the roller's heat censor turns white.  I start by dividing my hair in two sections. Start with the lower half and divide it into two sections. Start rolling each section and securing with clip. Do the same with other lower side. It'll look something like this. (although I can never get them quite even, it soesn...

Great lengths- Hair Extension how to

It's no secret that I love my hair extensions. Yes, I know my hair is already long but it's not only the additional length that I like about them. Hair extensions also make my hair look extremely thick and full, , Ã  la Delightfully Tacky  (who does NOT use hair extensions, this is all natural!!). This brings me to this little how-to guide for those wondering how it all works and maybe some answers to your questions.I'm by no means a haistylist, nor a pro with extensions. I write this solely based on my experience and love of different hairlooks. 1. Where did you get your extensions, and did they come with clips on them or did you make them? I bought mine in Vancouver at a shop called Abantu . I bought the one strand of hair and a pack of 12 clips. The ladies there knew exactly what color to match my hair and were dead on at the first try. I cut the pieces myself (with the help of mom) and then sewed in the clips on the individual pieces. This is what they look l...

Hot Hair Tools

It's about that time for another hair post. As mentioned last month, I was in the market for some new styling tools because, well I like spending time on my hair and I'm not ashamed about it. Since picking up my new hair appliances and testing them out for a few weeks now I feel like I can give you an honest review of how they're holding up. I'll start out by saying that I'm currently using Fekkai Full Blown Volume shampoo  and have just discovered (thanks to Chris) the best Leave-in Conditioner by Giovanni . After my hair is squeaky clean I usually use a volume boosting spray, right now I really like the John Frieda thickening lotion. Now for the "hot" part of the hair tools. I wanted to make sure that I was really getting the right hairdryer for me as I know they can vary in their uses depending on what you want. In my search for product reviews I came across some good advice to follow when looking for hairdryers. -Dryers with wattages above 1800 watts t...
