Tips for Wearing Hair Extensions Clip Ins

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The picture above is me wearing black, 18 inch extensions. I bought them naturally straight but I curled them to blend in with my short hair.  I have changed color of my hair so I need to buy new extensions to match my new color. A few years ago, woman were freaked out with adding fake hair to their own hair.  But now, hair extensions have really gone up in quality and down in price  making them more attractive and affordable.


 
 Match not only color but cut

Once you’ve picked the perfect color of extension to match your hair, you want to take those guys for a haircut.  Take the extensions to your stylist so she/he can cut them in the exact way your hair is already cut and blend.

Take proper care

After wearing them, make sure to wash them with baby shampoo.  Let them dry naturally and brush them out to the way you want them to fall.  Store them flat.  If you bundle them up, they’re sure to stay that way.

 Style
You want to make sure you purchase hair extensions that can handle heat and styling (usually natural hair or synthetics).  Curling the extensions and your hair will make them look more natural and hide any inconsistencies.

Have fun with them and the best part is you remove them at night for another look!

Three of the Best at Home Hair Dyes

 
There are so many things worth saving money for like a new shoes or new makeup you’ve been wanting lately. So, if you can save on hair color so you can splurge elsewhere, I say why not. Experimenting with hair color is so much fun that sometimes having it done at the salon is cost prohibitive. But with some great products and a few tips from the pros, a little DIY can work out pretty well. No matter what you’re looking to achieve. Although I am a professional hair stylist I do buy over the counter dyes too. Here are the 3 dyes I have used.


Revlon ColorSilk Buttercream: It smells great (like tropical mango and coconut), while going on just like cream. If you have dry or damaged hair, this product will do double-duty for you – offering great conditioning treatment and flawless overall color.

Clairol Nice ‘n Easy Color Blend Foam: If you’re a first timer, this kit is probably the one for you. The foam formula is dripless, making it super simple to apply. With excellent easy-to-follow instructions, just follow along for great, natural looking results.

L’Oreal Paris Feria: This awesome hair dye kit is perfect for first timers as it’s cream-based and doesn’t drip. While most of us have left complex ombre looks to the pros, this is pretty easy for getting that grown out highlight effect at home.
Have you tried dying your hair at home? What are the products you use? Please comment with any tips down below to help other readers.

If you do not feel comfortable doing this to yourself (stop) and  please call around to hair salons and find a good stylist that can work with you.

Thank You,

    Getting Rid of Nail Fungus and Yellow Stains

     
     
     
    Summer is around the corner and many people will experience nail fungus. Yellow looking nails are common in the summer because yeast thrives in warm environments. So, twice a day, soak feet in a mix of half white vinegar and half water. The vinegar kills fungus and gets rid of stains under nail. Hope this helps and let's take care of our nails.  
     
     
     
     
    Thank You,

    Lashem Double Mascara


     
     

    One of my favorite mascaras. It does what it says it does and can't beat that. I love it and it doesn't feel or look clunky like many of them do. Double Trouble has dual ended brushes with different type of bristles to achieve two types of looks.  Both ends contain our advanced volumizing mascara, with one end a feather bristled brush for natural volume, and the other end has the short bristle brushes for length. Use both for optimal lash distance.
    • MASCARA & PRIMER, WITH LASH ENHANCING SERUM
    • FULLER, THICKER-LOOKING LASHES— INSTANTLY
    • NOURISHES AND CONDITIONS
    • CONTAINS TROPICAL PLANT-DERIVED WAXES FOR HIGH-GLOSS SHINE (CARNAUBA WAX, CANDELILLA WAX)
    • SMUDGE-PROOF
    • WATER-RESISTANT

    Good Benefits:

    Eyelash boosting formula.
    Protects your lashes and is designed to help improve the overall condition and appearance of eyelashes. 
    Specifically formulated to deliver essential proteins, vitamins and rejuvenating ingredients that can nourish the structure of lashes, while adding shine and appearance. 
    It is ideal for women and men with brittle, weak, thin or short eyelashes. 
    Helps amplify volume by strengthening and rejuvenating lashes. 
    Helps promote lash flexibility and durability. 
    Adds moisture and shine to lashes and improve elasticity. 
    Can also be used on eyebrow. 
    Great for lash extension users! Help those broken, brittle lashes.
    
    WE all need help for our lashes!! Does it work? Well I think so. I have been about to use this one for a longer period of time and due to the fact there are no paradens in it I think made a difference for me.
    You apply it like you do eyeliner right up at the base of your eyelashes. Using more isn’t going to make it work better or faster so do waste it.
    For once I think this lash grower is worth the money, the mascara is just too cool. I love being able to create the best looking lashes with one mascara.
