Recently I blogged about how I wanted my hair to be in a better condition. After years of dying it and using heat, my hair is in a pretty terrible condition. I’m desperate for my hair to grow, and a friend told me my hair has no chance of growing if I continue to abuse it. A few months ago I saw Danielle’s blog post about strawberry curlers and bought myself some off ebay from this seller. I used them once on dry hair over night and decided I hated them and never tried them again.
That was a couple of months ago before I truly abused my hair with heat. Then the other day I decided to give them another go. I applied them to wet hair and waited a couple of hours for my hair to dry. I have naturally curly hair but because of how short it is, when it dries the curls are crazy and a frizzy mess, not nice curly locks like I would like. But after I took these out I was left with beautiful curls, that if I brushed turned into soft waves. Because the strawberries are made from sponge, their soft so are comfortable to sleep in if you want to leave them in overnight. I’ve used them on both dry and wet hair, but I’ve found better results if I leave them in wet hair.
Overall I’m really impressed, especially with how cheap these were. They come in packs of 12 which I found was enough for my hair as it’s only mid length. The instructions weren’t very clear but I found tons of tutorials on YouTube that show you how to apply them. I think these are great if your trying to use less heat on your hair but want to have movement and body in your hair. I’m certainly going to be using these more on my hair to give it a break from heat.
I love a good foundation, well who doesn’t? I can’t remember the last time I did my make up without using the stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t cake my face in the stuff, just a light covering around my face. I only use one brand of foundation – Rimmel London. After years of…
If you’re a regular reader of my blog you will understand my love for all things hair oil related. For someone who over processes their hair and applies heat regularly like me, hair oil is a life savoir. My non-beauty obsessive friends don’t quite understand it – “you’re putting oil in your hair?!?!”, but I have…
As I mentioned in one of my other posts Finding Things You’ve Completely Forgotten About that I’ve found many things lately that I’d completely forgotten about, and left behind when I moved to uni. Another one of these things is Clinique’s Defining Lips Long Last Lipstick Preview Palette (gosh that was a mouthful!). My mumma bought…
Kerastase is a brand to me that has always felt luxurious and high end. I’ve only ever tried a handful of products from Kerastase, my favourite being the Nutrive Nectar Thermique, but everything I’ve tried has impressed me. It was when I was looking for an intensive hair treatment when I came across Kerastase’s Fondant Nutri-Thermique,…
In the past few years I’ve become a little obsessed when it comes to oils, using them for my skin, hair, body, and even in my baths. They’re becoming part of my regular beauty routines, and I can’t see myself living without them. One of my favourites is The Body Shop’s Shea Beautifying Oil. I…
Today my little part of the internet is five. FIVE. A whole five years of sitting and typing away at my laptop and taking photographs of my makeup, crazy. I never thought that I would still be doing this five years later, or that anyone would still be reading about the mundane details of my…
