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’m sure if you’ve had a look on my blog recently you will have seen I’ve become addicted to Lush. I don’t know what happened, it’s like one day I just woke up and needed to buy everything from that shop. In fact I even converted two of my friends (who had never been to…
This month we’ve been spoilt for choice in magazine freebies! Here’s some of what I picked up this month – Elle Magazine – Free St Tropez (£3.90) I’ve mentioned it before, but I don’t really like Elle magazine, I only buy it when there’s a good freebie. For £3.90 it’s just a magazine of…
As it’s a new year like most people, I’m trying to take better care of myself. Not only am I eating better, and trying to do more exercise, but I’m also trying to take better care of my skin. I often get in terrible habits of not washing my face properly, and just taking my makeup…
Now we have much darker days it’s pretty certain that we’re in the Autumn/Winter months. And when it becomes Autumn/Winter I tend to go towards more ‘seasonal’ shades. And one in particular is my love of dark red shades. Recently I took part in a blog swap where I recieved a dark red nail varnish in the…
One thing I can never have enough of is lipstick. I have a whole drawer of the stuff, in every shade you could imagine. I usually stick to ‘drug store’ lipsticks, but every now and then it’s nice to try out a higher end product. One brand I’ve never really tried anything from, but have…
If you’re a close follower of my blog you may have noticed over the past year that skin care products are being mentioned more and more. A couple of years back I didn’t have a skin care routine, in fact I would hardly even remove my make up (awful, I know). And now I have…
