Curly G

Hi guys, I know its been a hot minute since I posted anything on this blog and honestly life just got in the way, I have honestly done soooo many things this year and ticket off so many boxes it's crazy! I will hopefully look to do a blog post about all the amazing things I have been up to this year... I have been seeing these Garnier Hair Food products everywhere and I was dying to use them. Now they are available in the UK I decided to do a review on 2 of the products. So without further ado lets crack on...…

Hi Guys.... Hope you are all well and had a fabulous weekend! I know I haven't posted in a few months and this is just because I allowed myself to be overloaded with stress from work/personal/family life. It all got a bit much and I honestly was that negative Nancy that no-one wanted around! It's super important to always look after yourself and your mental space instead of always trying to help others....I have really learnt to protect my space and my energy around me. Sharing that energy is scared and should only be shared with individuals that will value and nurture it. I'd love to know how you guys manage and deal with these situations?....comment below and let me know....I chose to take a break and go on holiday for a week to clear my head which worked a treat! Anyway enough about that and lets talk about my fabulous new summer/moisturised and hydrating hair routine! I switched up some new products that I think will work great for you if you're in a ho...

Hi Guys, Hope you're all doing well on this fabulous bank holiday (if your in the UK) and soaking up these beautiful sun rays we have been blessed with! I certainly have......caught a little tan, done my gardening & housework and of course washday. So today, I am going to be giving you guys an honest review on an Olaplex dupe. If you don't know what Olaplex is then where have you been?.... It is a reparative bond multiplier that works to rebuild broken hair and reconnect broken/damaged hair bonds. When Olaplex came out it was a revolutionary product and there wasn't anything like it out there so it quickly became very popular. There are now a couple of other 'bond multipliers' out there, I know L'Oréal do one. These products tend to be more on the pricier end of the products scale which not everyone can afford nor are prepared to justify that money on hair products. I have used Olaplex a couple of times when bleaching/dying my hair and it definite...

Hi there, How's your day been so far? Good and positive vibes I hope :) I've achieved quite a lot today....cleaned my room, washed my hair, washed my car (yes I washed it myself and belief me it was a chore), went for a jog, uploaded a vlog and this blog! It just shows your days are what you make of them and you can surprise yourself with what you can accomplish by simply removing the "T" from can't. I'm currently typing this watching 'The Midwife' on BBC....does anyone watch this, I am addicted! Right to crack on what this blog post is actually about....my winter routine for my coloured hair and of course a bit of a cocktail mixture with products.

Hello Lovelies! Welcome to the first blog post of 2018......and it's a goodun. I hope you've all started the new year on a positive, strong and determined mentality, ready to take on the world and take some steps closer to your dreams! 2018 is going to be about stepping out of my comfort zone, going after what I want and of course stepping up my blogging game. Now lets crack on with the actual blog post about the Giovanni Protein Treatment......I have heard a lot about this product and how amazing it is, so of course yours truly put it to the test.

Hi there lovelies, Hope you're all having a fab day and making the most of each day you are blessed with! As for me I have been doing the usual work hustle, deep conditioning weekly and recently got back from holiday where I spent a week on a yacht......trust me when I say this was a challenge with the sea water daily! But I shall be posting all about what holy grail products I chose to take with me soon....so stay tuned! Anyway onto todays exciting post! (Ps I'm posting this jamming to 'The Jackson 5 - I want you back'.....classic!). Umberto Giannini have graciously sent me some of their products for me to try out and this post is all about their 'Curls' range. I have been trying out their products for a few months so I have a good idea of each of these products.

Todays post is all about my first ever mini MAC Haul....I have been into Mac numerous times to purchase items/gifts for other people but never for myself. I have always been more of a 'Benefit' makeup or drugstore kinda gal....none the less I popped in to grab a few bits and bobs. I'm going to also do a review on the products I purchased as I have been using them for a little while now and have a solid opinion on the products. So without further adieu were going to crack on.......

I have been hearing so many amazing things about this product and how it has helped so many different people get their curls back.... so yours truly decided to test it out.

 Okay so on this hair product review journey, I have been looking into using British products that are made in the UK. I know there are lots out there so bear with me whilst I slowly but surely make my way through them.

Hey Ladies, I know its been a minute since I posted a blog, i've been super busy between jobs and am much more settled now and in a much better head space ...PHEW. I'm just much happier than I have been in months and this is mainly because I left a stressful job and other situations in my life have settled down. Anyhow lets crack on with the post, I wanted to chat about a few of my product empties and give a mini review on how I fared on with them.

Hello Ladies, I know its been a minute since I last posted on here, I have just been caught up in day to day life and all different events happening in my life. A quick update is that I recently dyed my hair....yes I went lighter and unfortunately had to use bleach to accomplish the ash blonde colour I was going for (if you want me to write a post about my disastrous hair bleaching attempt at home...just comment below). Alright so enough about the updates and lets get on with the actual blog post! I am giving a bunch of different protein treatments a try to restore and repair some of the damage I have caused to my hair.

Hey Ladies, Today I have a slightly different post about my recent trip to Italy with my mother and a little disastrous hair situation I had. Alright so I will begin this story right at the beginning.......

Hello Ladies!! I hope you are all doing well and not only setting but working towards your goals! Now school, university, college which ever you call it for the level of education you are now studying at you are always looking for simple ways to vamp up your style. I always mixed it up and did a variation of different hairstyles for my hair, you know switching up those hairstyles. Most people will have generic hairstyles they do (bun, ponytail and loose) but not to worry ladies I have compiled a little list of 10 different hairstyles to try out! These hairstyles work well with most hair types, textures but mostly medium to long length hair! If you have shorter hair you may wish to tweak them a little for your hair length.

Hello Ladies, I've been hearing some pretty good feedback about the Cantu Beauty Products..... so of course yours truly decided to give them a go! I am going to share with you my current wash and go routine. If you're not sure on what a wash and go routine is (this is where you literally wash your hair, apply some products and leave it be....you don't actually do anything else and leave your natural curls to form).

Hey Ladies, Wrapping your hair is a great way of locking in moisture and also is great for keeping your natural hair or your weave straight. I usually wrap my hair when I have curled it (of course using a low heat method..... gotta avoid heat damage). If you guys want to know about my low heat method just 'Holla' in the comments below and I will be sure to do a blog on it. Anyway this is a super quick method my mother taught me and I'm going to show you guys step by step, so here we go:

Detailing my day to day curl routine, So I usually switch up the products I use but at the moment this is my everyday curl routine. Everyone has their own little flair and techniques they use when trying to perfect those curls without spending hours on it..... this is my go to when I haven't got much time on my hands and need to wash my hair to get them curls poppin again!

So I have been going a bit product crazy lately! I have been buying lots of products and trying them on my hair. So I have bought soo many products from Boots and Superdrug! I am going to share with you guys the products I've purchased and a little chit chat about how they've worked for me.

Healthier Chemically straightened/Relaxed hair Tips So I know a lot of hair bloggers don't really talk about chemically straightened or relaxed hair. Its all about natural, healthy hair and almost frowned upon to still use these kind of chemicals on your hair. Others prefer their natural hair and others don't. I believe its a personal choice what we choose to do and how we want to look. Its all about maintaining healthier hair and preventing damage to your hair.

Hey ladies, So we all have those days when we want to do something different with our hair and mix up our usual go to hairstyles! These are the times I incorporate some sort of a braid into my hair. It's the best way to add a simple twist and a bit of edge to any hairstyle. So I have done 8 braided hairstyles that are quite simple and super cute for a night out, school or a chilled casual day.

Hey Ladies, So I popped into Boots on Friday to grab some hair lightening cream (Yes unfortunately my little moustache grows dark black hair so I bleach it.....being mixed race struggle right there!).  Anyway so the section where the hair lightening creams is towards the back of the shop and I never noticed this before but the little clearance section is there too! They had quite a few bits and bobs there so I checked it out and got a few things:
