Marley twist / Havana braids hair style ideas

Hey guys

I'm here to share some of my favourite go to hairstyles I've been wearing this summer. Although my hair is in chunky twist these hairstyles are definitely transferable to box braids or all hair types with some length. So I hope these are helpful to someone :)

I love having Marley twist as they are a great protective hair style, they keep your ends sealed and I am easily able to wash and moisturise my hair while they are in the style. I also love how versatile they are as they can pretty much be manipulated into any style. So Please feel free to check out my hairstyle tutorial below to see how I created my 5 goto hairstyles, and hopefully someone tries one out :)

John Frieda: Luxurious Volume - Review

Hey Dolls
Some of you might remember that I had previously reviewed John Frieda's FRIZZ-EASE range, which I absolutely loved, you can check out the post HERE. So I was really excited to try out another one of there collections. So this is the Luxurious Volume collection, which consists of the 'Touchably Full' Shampoo and conditioner, Blow dry Lotion and a Blow out spray. Which promises to give you great volume and "Luxurious Soft Hair"

Ok so I washed and blow dried my hair with these products this morning and so far I'm loving the results. Personally My hair isn't to fine anyway so I didn't really need 'Volumeising' but i still got great results.

The Shampoo: Again its not sulphate free :(, But it's a really great shampoo. It's very cleansing, lathers up and has a great slip. It also has a very pleasant and refreshing smell to it.
The Conditioner: This has a similar smell to the shampoo. Its very moisturising making it great for detangling. It left my hair with a very soft and silky feeling and helped make my curls pop :).
I wanted to stop there but then I wouldn't of been able to try out the blow drying lotions and sprays
Blow Dry Lotion: So I applied this to my lightly towel dried hair.
Very light weight, and a little goes a long way. And it also has a great smell. But I don't feel although it lifted my roots. But as I said before, I have thick hair anyway so I don't think anymore could be done lol.
Blow out spray: I then applied this before drying and again whilst almost dry.
It is a light weight spray, non drip which is a plus. It has a great fruit smell and This left my hair feeling very smooth and frizz free.

Overall I really liked the products, This range surprisingly turned out to be very moisturising, It had a great slip which enables easier detangling. The products also have a great smell and leave your hair with a gorgeous fruity scent. After using the products my hair feels very thick, full and soft with a great sheen. So Im very pleased :)

John Frieda FRIZZ-EASE | Review

Hey
So heres my second post for today and its a Review on John Frieda Frizz-Ease shampoo, conditioner and Extra strength formula Hair Serum which I received yesterday.

Full Review:
So I washed my hair with these products yesterday and I have to say I really liked them, and I think that it really worked well with my hair and gave me great results.
The shampoo, Isn't sulphate free, which is something i usually look out for when buying shampoo's,  however It was very moisturising and did not dry out my hair. Its really light, smells gorgeous and really lathers up :). I only did one wash and my hair felt very clean and surprisingly tangle free.
The conditioner, like the shampoo this smelt really nice. This was also very light and a little goes a long way. It left my hair very fluffy and seemed to get rid of quite a lot of the frizz.
The serum, I think this worked really well, it moisturised my hair left it felling very soft and seemed to get rid of alot of the frizz whilst I was blow drying it out. It also allowed me to flat iron my hair in less strokes and it stayed frizz-free all day, and i haven't had to redo it today. 

My Results 

You can check out more of their products like their Brilliant Brunette shampoo, or the Frizz-Ease products I used on their website here: Johnfrieda.co.uk.

What do you all think of the results? Has anyone else used there products before?

Braid into bun

Hey guys

So I was watching youtube video's for hairstyle inspirations for a party I'm going to tomorrow night. And I came across this video by LaurDIY. I liked this hairstyle as it was simple yet was different to a normal boring bun.

         

<----- here are my results

I did mine slightly different although this was my inspiration.
 I decided to do my flat braid at the back alot neater and tighter which is quite difficult upside down lol. I then used a donut to create a ballerina bun at the top.

What do you guys think of the hairstyle?

Afro Hair & Beaty Live 2012

Hey guys
So its been a great 4day weekend I've been having due to the queen's Jubilee, went to alot of street parties which gave me a reason to wear my Union Jack leggings :). I also went to the Afro Hair And beauty Live show, during this bank holiday. This was really good fun. I Learnt a few tricks, got some tips and a bag load of freebies :).

While I was there I got a free facial and a makeover by Mary Kay.

There facial was amazing. It Left my skin feeling very smooth and gave it a flawless look. They sort of teach you rather than just give you a facial which I thought was very helpful as it allows you to get the same results at home.
     They then did a foundation match and gave us a free makeover.
I really liked their products and wanted to buy everything, but as I'm not super rich :(, I brought there Foundation as it was the best match I've ever had.
      This is worth £16 but i got it for £14.40 as they was doing a 10% discount on that day.
       They have great products, i really recommend them, You can get more info on their products here


The olive oil stand was also doing a great offer, I got all these goodies worth over £25 for only £5. As I love a bargain I couldn't resiet :). As I don't use Gel or a relaxer, My mum gets a treat lol. But i'll be defiantly putting the rest to good use.

some free hair samples
I got during the day

Here is some highlights from the event, Including an amazing hair fashion show and some hair tutorials.

Hairstyles im loving

These are the two hair styles that I am loving at the moment. They are very different from each other yet i've rocked both these hairstyles. And loved them. 

Plait

The fishtail plait, looks great on almost anybody. Their quick and easy to do, yet look like a lot of time and effort has been put in to creating it. 

Its also a hairstyle that can be created with extensions which is good for people with shorter hair.

Leona

Rhianna

 

Marykate

Fergie

short hairstyles

I'm loving these short cuts. Also known as The 'boyish cut', yet i think they look very soft and feminine. I'm loving these looks there cute and almost fairy like but still gives of an edgy felling.  

Kelis

Ciara

Pink
