Going virgin for a 2nd time!

Haha okay the title may be a little strange but hey it got you here right!

What the title means is that I bought some more Virgin Brazilian hair! I really wanted to try long straight hair so I thought I'd give it a try and as I cut the tracks of my last Brazilian (NEVER do that lol) it all shed and there was definitelyyyy no reusing it lol

I've been meaning to do this post for a while now but I thought I'd get some wear into it so I can see how it reallllly acts lol

I bought the hair from a company called My Hair Obsessions (you can find their Facebook page here) I bought it from their Ebay store, I was quite sceptical at first because I had never heard of the company & it's a lot of money to spend over Ebay but the reviews seemed good and I liked that you could buy groups of bundles for one price instead of buying them individually.
I bought inches 14, 16, 18 & 20 for one price of £180 (thank goodness for working over the summer lol) It may seem a lot but anyone who's shopped around can tell you this is a gooood price!

The deliver was only £4 & it was First Class post! (I had to wait a few days longer as post obviously doesn't deliver on weekends but that's not the company's fault of course)

When it did arrive I was so pleased! Here's how the bundles were packaged....

They arrived all in one pouch, seemed small at first but yep they were all in there!

Sorry for the bad quality but each bundle came with a label with the type of hair ticked, the inch circled, the texture circled & also tells you how much it weighs 
Layed out in height (inch) order lol

The lovely and very talented Patricia from P Belle beauty done my hair for me, her company PBelleBeauty are based in Canterbury & London and she charges extremely good prices! Especially considering she comes to you, you can find her Facebook page here and her Twitter page here. She talks through everything she does step by step and always makes sure you're happy with the result, talking of results here's how my hair came out!....





The hair was really silky and had extremely minimum shedding!
One week with the hair it's lost a lot of its shine & seems more dry even though the shedding is still extremely low....



It still looks pretty good though and I found a tip on Youtube that helps with dryness..

1.Brush out the hair
2. Dampen the hair but don't saturate it
3.Use a small amount of frizz serum
4.Straighten

Here's the serum I used....
It is Shockwaves Shine & Anti Frizz serum with heat protectant.

Anyway just thought I'd share what I'm up to with my hair, was considering bleaching the tips but I don't want it to get any dryer.

Know how to lighten your hair without bleach? Drop me a comment below!

God Bless

All about hair ❤



So I did it! finally purchased some virgin Brazilian hair! Didn't do it to jump on a band wagon but it was because I was genuinely fed up of my Premium Now/Too weaves always knotting up and tangling after 2 weeks lol.

As stated in my previous post I bought the hair from The Boss Look and you can find their website....here :)

I bought 3 bundles, two 18 inches at £55 each and one 16 inch bundle at £50 and the texture is called wavy.
I also got the hair done at The Boss Look for an extra £30
Here's a picture of what it looked like when I first got my hair done:
(I apologise beforehand for the quality of the pictures, I sold my camera so I can get a better one and I'm using my Blackberry for the moment *cries*)


It was dark - brown and had only one layer from where I had bought the 16 inch and I liked it but I knew I could do so much more with it so I got a bit creative....


I cut layers around my face and then applied the 'B Blonde' hair lightener (bleach) I bought from Superdrug for £5.61. 

Here's a few snaps of how I've been styling it:



 I also got fed up of my fuzzy parting as I didn't relax my hair before getting the weave so I somehow managed to relax just my parting LOL, here's a few pictures of that and after I blended it with gel.


 I'm always prone to jumping on Youtube bandwagons haha, when ever I see there's a product lots of people are using on there I always run to get it. For example I have just bought John Frieda Frizz - Ease Extra Strength serum from Amazon as it was cheaper than Superdrug, which is supposed to be amazing!

(Picture not taken by me)

Today I also ran to Superdrug to pick up Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Shampoo & Conditioner which smells beautiful!

The hair is great so far and I love the natural curl of it after I wash it, I'm also making sure that I look after my hair underneath a lot better this time to prevent breakage.

God Bless
