Achieving curls on straight/wavy hair plus tips on mainting your natural curls

I often get asked by people with wavy hair how they can make their hair curlier. Before we get into that you need to understand what makes straight/wavy hair different from curly hair.

1. All hair has hydrogen  and disulfide bonds but straight and wavy hair has very strong hydrogen bonds.
2. Curly hair has strong disulfide bonds.
3. You can break down hydrogen bonds with water which will help you manipulate your hair to form curls easier.

To help your straight or wavy hair curl without the use of a curling iron you will need super clean hair. These steps below are the easiest and most effortless way to curl your hair. Let's break this down step by step.

1. Wash hair with a clarifying shampoo (This will make your hair lighter and eliminate buildup)
2. Condition your hair with a moisturizing shampoo
3. Apply curl enhancing products to your soaking wet hair. I will leave a few product recommendations below.
5. SCRUNCH(with a cotton t shirt or tank top) and scrunch till you cannot scrunch anymore. This is what will help form the curls. Best with your head upside down.
6. You do have the option to use a blow dryer. I suggest using medium heat without a diffuser. Blow dry with your your head upside down (this helps give you incredible volume)
7. While you're drying your hair you will need to scrunch during the process with the t shirt.
8. Cotton towels will break your hair.
9. DON'T ever rub your hair with a towel..always squeeze or dab it dry with a cotton t shirt or tank as stated above.
10. Enjoy your gorgeous hair and rock it!!
Note- these suggestions work awesome for naturally curly hair as well to help enhance your natural curls.


Product suggestions to bring out  the curls-

1.Catwalk Curlesque Curls Rock Amplifier by TIGI


             

2. Smooth Hydration Argan Oil and Shea Butter Curl Enhancing Yogurt
                     

3. Care Free Curl Gold Instant Curl Activator (these work)

Forever Luminous Volcanic Ash Hydrating Facial Wrap Reivew

I was asked by My Spa Life to try and review their newest facial wrap. I was ecstatic to work with this company for the second time and happily accepted. This is not your typical face mask that you apply with your fingers nor does it harden like a typical face mask. I was so intrigued by the fact that this mask contains volcanic ash which is known for it's awesome antioxidant properties. This mask also helps sooth, moisturize, and has excellent antibacterial qualities. The volcanic ash combined with CoQ10 which counteracts free radicals can reverse sun damage to help reveal healthy glowing skin. This mask also contains some great ingredients such as Panthenol, Collagen, and Aloe.

                                    
      

                                                                                                                       
This mask can be put in the fridge to provide a cooling at home spa like treatment or can be placed in warm water(in package) for a warm facial. As directed I washed and dried my face before applying this mask. I decided to use it right out of the packet at room temperature. I unfolded it and placed it over my face, relaxed for about 30 mins while my wonderful husband kept the kiddies busy so mommy can relax. After 20-30 you remove the mask and massage the remaining serum into your skin then discard the used mask. My face felt so super smooth and soft afterwards.

 My husband even commented on how soft and smooth my skin felt. He was game to try one because he once tried their under eye strips. It was pretty hilarious, endearing, and cute at all the same time. Anyway I would highly recommend that you all pick up some of their products(some pictured below). I have been very impressed by all 3 products I've tried so far and I love the fact that they're so affordable. There will be a giveaway coming soon that will include this mask. You can find them on Faebook  https://www.facebook.com/pages/MY-SPA-LIFE/184405254998018. Thanks for reading :-)
