Big Beautiful Curls

Some days my curls are lucious, big and bouncy and others they're very tamed with a professional appeal. Finally, I'm going on a 6 day vacation to Texas and I'm feeling a streak of wild with my short freedom. While I'm out of town I plan to let my mane blow in the wind.

Here's how...

You'll need:
* Spray bottle with water
* Your go to curling/styling creme or gel
* Blow dryer w/ diffuser

Let's get started...

1. Lightly spray your top layer of hair with water. Be care not to soak your hair or wet the under layer...Just dampen top layer around your crown, front, and sides.

2. Lightly rake the water through to the ends.

3. Lightly and gently rake through your styling creme from root to ends. (Not too hard. Don't pull out your hair and don't focus on tangles) I'm using Shea Moisture Curling Pudding and a little bit of the Curling Souffle for hold as my styling cremes.

4. Now diffuse, diffuse, diffuse. Medium to low speed, NO HEAT...cool setting only. Diffuse the sides, back, and top. Flip your head over and diffuse all around upside down for lots of volume and body.

That's it. Enjoy your lucsious curls. I know I will.

I also posted a video demonstration. Enjoy.

Cute Manicure Design

I came across this photo online. This is a very cute look. Many of you may not know that I'm a license nail technician so nails is my thing my trade. I just want to share this pic and will be doing a tutorial very soon on how to create this Manicure at Home. Enjoy!
