The Horrible Thngs You Should Know About Hair Extensions!

Lets face it! Long hair is gorgeous! And if you have short hair, sometimes it takes forever to for it to grow. The worst thing anyone can do it get glue in hair extensions! If you go to a salon or not! It does not matter, they ruin your hair!
Do you really want your hair to end up looking like this?

I have a few friends who went to a salon and got extensions like these. They looked really pretty at first, but after a while they start to get natty looking and they look like you have fried ends and when they are sectioned off like this they can break off. One of my very close friends paid a lot of money to get her hair done and after a month her hair started breaking off right at the root where the glue was. She has hardly any hair now!

If you want long hair fast just get the clip in extensions! now you can color them, straighten, curl or cut them! If you go to Sally's Beauty Supply they have so many different lenths and brands. Just ask an associate and they will give u all the advice you will need! Or you can use my personal favorite Jessica Simpsons Hairdo! They are just simple clips and u can curl and straighten them also!!!

If you love your hair, don't harm it with extensions! Love it and use the clips or you will end up with no hair!!!! If you have any more questions, just ask, I am more then willing to answer them and give more advice!!!

The Easy, Time Consuming Way to Straighten Your Hair

Ok so i have really curly hair and I prefer to wear it straight, but somedays it takes forever and it dries out and damages my hair really fast. Hear are some tips that i found to be heplful!

Always always always use some kind of heat protectanton your hair! it seriously hepls! I promise! I like to use Dove Heat Therapy shamoos and conditioners and the also have a heat protectant spray that i like to use. Spray the heat protectant through your hair very generously so it is kind of damp, it dries really fast.

Next to get your hair as straight as possible you will need to get a good flat iron. I like the brand hot tools found at Sally's Beauty Supply, the flat irons have adjustable heat for different hair types. make sure you use the right setting for your hair because u can litterally burn your hair right off!

I would invest in some duckbill clips, also found at Sally's, to section your hair off. It is a lot easier to straighten your hair in layers and skinny sections, this way all you have to do is go over the layer once and it should be pretty straight, instead of going over a thick section a few times which can fry your hair even faster. Sometimes the flat iron gets so hot that when your done straightening a section it is so hot when it touches your skin. It is also best to use a comb to brush the snarls out before you straighten a section too because that can also damage your strands as well. Keep sectioning your hair into thin layers and no matter what your length is it should only take you between 20 to 30 min and your hair should be silky, shiny and smooth!

How to do a Puurrrfect Cateye



So if you would like to have gorgeous winged out liner like Scarlett's just follow these steps.
  1. Apply your all over make up like usual and do you eye shadow as well .
  2. 
    Use a waterproof liguid eyeliner and apply the liner as close to your top lashes as possible. If you like it to be a little think u can make the line thicker, just be carful it doesn't come out looking like a raccoon eye. Then what I do is take my finger and follow the crease of my eye to the outer corner of my eye and i make a tiny dot. Then I start at the dot and swipe the brush of the liner to connect to the upper lash line.

This is what th 2nd step should look like


   3. Then apply the liner to your bottom lashes. Use and eyelash curler to curl your lashes, but dont just hold it, squeeze the curler and let go about 5 times then move to the tip of your lashes and do the same thing. Take a lenghthening mascara like Cover Girl's Lash Blast Fusion, which lenthens and thickens your lashes and then take a look in the mirror! if you would like to make your lashes look a little more dramatic you can add some falsies!

Do you have curly, frizzy hair and wish it was straight

I have insanely curly hair and I'm not a big fan of it! Sometimes it is nice because it gives me options, but i mostly like to wear it straight. I recently discovered Garnier Fructis Blow Dry Perfector. It isn't a straightning kit but it helps get your hair silky smooth when you blow dry it! It's a lot cheaper then actually getting your hair straightened and this way you don't have to use harsh products on your hair. It is a two step process that lasts for seven days and all you do is apply it to dry hair then rinse it out then apply the smoothing serum! it works awesome and i highly reccomend it
