Curling your hair without heat! Four techniques

I've been asked a couple of times how I curl my hair so I thought I would blog about it! You can of course use straighteners, curlers or a curling wand but laying off the heat is good for your hair and weaves/extensions plus my straighteners are half broken lol (don't ask)

      Bantu knots        

Twirl and knot your hair Craig David style lol (excuse the tracks showing in pic 1 lol)

Braid out

Two cornrows on either side

Result!

When I done 4 smaller cornrows

Flexi rods!

I maaaay have cheated on the heat front with this technique lol my flexi rods are actually Nicky Clarke Heated Flexi Stylers but I promise I got the same results with my old non heat ones.

Picture does NOT belong to me but here's how they look

Flexi result!

                                            

Scrunching

I have been using this technique a lot more as this hair has a very pretty curl pattern when wet, I've been experimenting with different types of mousse and my favourite at the moment is Silvikrin Dual- Benefit 2 days Volume & Hold 

Aaaand that is how I curl my hair! Hope you enjoyed :) God Bless xx

Winter trend Berry lips! MUA vs Collection 2000 Gothic Glam

Many people have been sporting Berry/Purple lips this Autumn/Winter and I think it looks gorgeous! I had to get my hands on one but couldn't find the right shade.  I tried two brands that are cheap and cheerful, MUA's Matte range & Collection 2000's Gothic Glam range (it look me a long time to get my hands on this one, was sold out even in Westfield!)

 Left is the Collecton 2000 lipstick called 'Revenge' (£2.99) & on your right is the MUA Matte Lippy called 'Wild Berry' (£1.00)

 The MUA lipstick comes with a twist off bottom which contains more lipstick! Very good idea

The Line Up

Similar shades in the tube, however you can see MUA's is more Matte

 Look at the difference! Collection 2000's has a extremely better colour pay off

MUA	Collection 2000

Can you see the difference!?! I totally can, I had to scribble to MUA lippy on like a crayon just to get this effect lol, however the Collection 2000 was the complete opposite! Great coverage, non drying and lasts most of the day! I love most of MUA's products but this time the winner is........

God bless
