Texture Iron

-
I really want a texture iron to use on different hairstyles and updos and I have been looking at one in particular by Sam Villa. I tried it at the International Beauty Show in NYC earlier this month and I LOVED it. It worked so well and it looked great, it even lasted a few days. I know there are other texture irons out there like the one by hot tools. I feel that the one by Sam Villa is definitely a tighter crimp and a better quality.

Have any of you tried a crimper or texture iron? What were your feelings on it?

Flamboyage

I had a girl come into my school who had a 2 inch regrowth of level 3 and then the hair shaft was what you see on the left, which since I use Goldwell in my school I matched it to 5NBP (5 Neutral Beige Pearl) or light brown reflecting opal. She wanted a flamboyage which is an ombré with a balayage. So the first step I did was for the regrowth I mixed 60mls of 20 volume and 60 mls of 5NBP (Goldwell uses a 1:1 ratio). I applied it to the regrowth area and let it process for 20 minutes. I then brought the color halfway down the shaft to refresh the color and let that process for about 10 minutes. After rinsing and washing the color away, I had to roughly dry the hair 80-90%. I took horizontal partings in the back and did subsections vertically where I lightly teased and applied BW2 lightener. Slowly as I got to the top most horizontal sections and I started to balayage higher and higher. I did the same thing as I got to the front, but I did diagonal partings toward the face since she wan...

A Guide for Tinder

Good Morning,  My boyfriend and I were hanging out with our friends a few nights ago and they were all discussing their new Tinder accounts that they recently set up. They were saying how it's a different way of meeting people because you set it up based on age and radius. It's like speed dating, but you don't really get to speak to them. As I was going through their Tinder with them and hitting "like" and "dislike" and the rare "super like" which you only get once a day if you don't pay for it, it felt like a game. As a girl who doesn't have a Tinder who is looking at other girl's Tinder with my guy friends and knowing what they are looking for I felt there was a need for a general guide, especially since there are fake accounts on there! Picture Guidelines : 1. A good selfie. 2. An entire picture of you dressed well. (casual or formal, it doesn't matter) 3. You with your friends or family. 4. You being active o...

Product Review: The Nudes & Master Conceal Maybelline New York

Good Evening Everyone,     I kept hearing rave reviews on these two Maybelline products, The Nudes and Master Conceal, so I decided to try them out. The Nudes pallet I paid I believe around $11 for it and for the most part the shadows are pretty pigmented. The light colors seemed to not highlight as much as I would have liked them to, but I also feel that since I have very fair skin that I understand why they didn't work out well. On the other hand, the darker colors (75% of the pallet), were pigmented and build able. It worked perfect for an everyday go to pallet for some neutral shades just to make the lids pop a little and then if I wanted to create a smokey eye in the evening it worked well too! I feel that this product is worth the $11, especially for someone who wants to start applying eyeshadow, recreate smokey eye looks, and/or for key neutral shades.    The Master Conceal in the shade 20-Light worked really well. I felt that it covered my dark ci...
