Hi, loves!  Today, I’m going to show you how to easily incorporate a Heatless Waves routine to your evenings, so you can wake up to a beautifully bouncy hair!

My pamper routine consists of lighting a few candles and soaking in the hot tub, while I meditate.

I’m usually sipping some decaf green tea, and my cats (2) must be dragged into the bathroom with me or they’re screaming bloody murder behind the door- or arguing with each other- and if I happen to be doing a Coconut oil treatment on my hair, which y’know I love to do – then I have to make sure my older cat (Bobby) doesn’t try to eat my hair, ‘cuz he’s obsessed with coconut oils….

I believe in pampering your soul as much as your body, that’s why I highly recommend meditation to everyone I know.   Do you meditate?  If you haven’t, please try it.  It will transform your soul.  You’ll be you but much calmer and less temperamental, and happier.  More about this some other time…

I’m not really into face masks, although I do use a few when I can, because I’m too lazy lol.  I’d say I’m more of a hair treatment kinda girl (because it smells SO good!), and I’m so incredibly lucky to be able to test out so many different kinds of it too!

So this week, I tried out the NEW, Rose Oil Infusion Volumizing shampoo & conditioner from Suave Professionals that I been hearing so much about. 

If you watch me on YouTube, then you probably know that I have thinning hair for women (I literally have bald spots which I keep covered with some eyeshadow)… So for me, I “should” be using a Volumizing shampoos&Conditioner, but I don’t because I find them too drying.  “Volumizing” usually mean frizzy, tangly hair for me. But this gentle line from Suave that said ” infused with pure rose oil” wasn’t drying at all!  Actually, it felt like a “normal” people’s hydrating rich shampoo, but the conditioner was very lightweight.

At less than $3 per bottle at Walmart, these are also ridiculously AFFORDABLE omg! But best of all, when my hair dried, my hair looked va-va-voom’ish – totally fluffy, smooth!

You need to try this because trying is believing!  You’re going to enjoy them!

  However, if you have extremely dry and damaged hair, Suave has another fantastic line with Avocado that I reviewed a few months back.  I found that more moisturizing (but heavy) because it’s made for “dry damaged hair”.   Try them both though, and let me know which was your favorite!

Sock Bow Voluminous Heatless Waves

I went to Walmart to buy these shampoos and ended up buying some socks too (cuz I’m always losing them argh!), and thought hmm let’s do a heatless curl tutorial with them.

By the way, I filmed this, so if you don’t understand what I did here, you’ll watch it on my Instagram a few weeks later.  But basically what you do it…

1. Tye a few socks together to create a sock-bow chain (they look like cute bows on your head for real!).  We’ll be using the chain like a headband.
2. Shampoo your hair with Suave Rose Oil Shampoo & Conditioner, and towel dry your hair thoroughly.  Your hair must be almost dry (90% dry), don’t do this on wet hair, or your hair will never dry.
3. Divide your hair in half, and start wrapping small sections of hair around the headband. I did 3 sections on each side of my head, and twisted the sections away from the face, before wrapping them to minimize frizziness.  Moreover, I sometimes secured the ends of my hair with a few bobby pins to the headband to keep the ends super smooth.
4. After 8 hours (once your hair is completely dry), remove the headband.
5. Finger comb your waves and apply some hair serum you’re done!
6. I curled my hair extensions separately the same way to get this look.

All of this should take you less than 5 minutes to do!  But if you didn’t understand from the Pictorial I made for you, a video tutorial is coming soon on Instagram!

Happy 2018, fam!

When I posted a poll on our YouTube channel last week asking what content you guys wanted to see more of this new year, a whopping 65% of you said, do more Easy, Lazy Hairstyles for everyday in 2018!

And I get it, no one has time to spend an hour or more getting ready in the morning.  So today, I’m going to show you how to do an elegant, 2-minute fancy ponytail for work, and introduce you guys to a terrific line of affordable shampoo & conditioner for dry, frizzy hair, because when your hair lookssmooth and healthy, every hairstyle looks good on you.

Sam’s Club invited me to check out their Personal Care section for their Step Up Your Style campaign created for busy moms/girls, so I could tell you guys all about it!

Sam’s Club offers groceries and everything else at a low, wholesale price (which is so helpful right after the holidays – aren’t we all broke 😀  ?), and with this new,  Step Up Your Style event, they’re adding more and better beauty products to their Personal Care aisle, so you can do all your shopping in 1 place.

Next time you want to try out a fresh hair or a fresh skin care routine, explore this aisle or go to SamsClub.com for future product refreshes and content updates!

I’ve been using Dove face soaps after my oil cleansing routine for more than 10+ years.  I swear, it’s MY beauty secret, no expensive soap needed to keep your skin clear and hydrated!

Oddly enough though, I never tried their shampoos or conditioners, so I picked these up during my last visit, and I was really pleasantly surprised.

Dove Coconut and Hydration Shampoo & Conditioner

Is a lightweight hydrating hair care for dry hair (drugstore priced).

It contains Nutritive Serum to lock in essential moisture, so your hair remains frizz-free throughout the day (worked).

It’s surprisingly lightweight (it was) considering it’s a deeply hydrating formula.

Scent: it did not smell like coconuts to me, it smelled like a normal shampoo. Lovely, but you should know.

If you tried out my last few drugstore recommendations on this blog, then you’ll love this line as well.  It’s REALLY A-MAZING!  Truly.

It made my hair look good when I did nothing to it, and you KNOW that’s a GREAT sign, you’ll definitely notice a difference in your hair from your very first wash.  It’ll feel silkier, look shinier, and much less frizzy.

The first time I shampooed my hair, and I noticed how CLEAN my hair felt, I worried that the shampoo was going to be too clarifying for my long hair, because normally, clarifying shampoos = poofy, frizzy hair.  Since they remove all build ups on the hair to create lots of volume for thin hair.

But don’t worry, when your hair dries, you’re left with clean hair that’s FULL and hydrated!

  I’m still amazed that it gave me so much body without making my hair frizzy.  If you have thin, dry,  frizzy hair, you know what I mean, right?    Go check this out!

Running Late Elegant Pony

Hair Tutorial for Medium or Long Hair

Prep: Use Dry shampoo to create texture and to make hairstyling easier to DIY.

1. Topytail your crown section to create a voluminous poof without teasing your hair. Pull out the twists to make it fuller.

2. Section out your side hair, then put the back section into a Low Ponytail.

3.  Wrap the side sections around the ponytail one by one, and tuck it into the hair elastic.

4. Finish by hairspraying the hair in place and adjusting random strands of hair with a few bobby pins.

If you didnt understand this tutorial, let me know and I’ll incorporate it into one of my future YouTube videos for you!

See you guys soon!  *hugs tight*  x Tina
