How To Thicken Fine Natural Hair



I've tested it and can finally share my thoughts and results in this quick video.  I hope this helps those with thinning or fine hair or anyone desiring more body and fullness!


HAIR THICKENING PRODUCTS I'M USING:

  • Follicleanse Shampoo & conditioner: http://www.follicleanse.com?acc=26

    (I think it's ok for me to share it with you - If not enjoy anyway!) 
  • Renewalize 100% Pure Organic Castor Oil (link coming soon!) 


Becca Cosmetics | Shadow & Light Brow Contour Mousse



I abosultely love the Becca Cosmetics Brow Contour for my thin brows!  I'm able to fill in the gaps, and it does a great job of thickening look of the individual hairs. I also have oily skin and love the fact that it stays put regardless of whether I wear a primer or not.  Plus it's cruelty free!  :)  Win-Win!

Defined Wash and Go Tutorial + MELT DOWN!!!

Hey guys!  Have you had wash and go fails?  ME TOO!  Wash and go's on natural curly, coily or kinky hair can be challenging.  But don't give up!  Many times, you see our wash and go successes, but that doesn't mean it didn't take time to master our techniques.


In this video I'm sharing my updated technique.  My results change based upon which product combinations I use, but this is my summer wash and go process.  Two of my summer wash and go musts are:



1. Oil rinsing. It helps to keep my hair moisturized and lessens the likelyhood of single strand knots.

2. Using extra gel.  I add extra gel along my nape and throughout my hair during the summer months to assist with managing high dews.  Eco Styler with Argan oil, Kinky Curly Curling Custard, Curl Junkie Pattern Pusha gels are my favorite for high dews.  The extra product helps to hold the style over multiple days while also minimizing kinks because the shedding hair typically stays clumped (rather than getting caught in your curls, coils and kinks) until you get ready to detangle or do a dry wash and go like this one (click here).  

I hope this video helps!  Remember, practice makes perfect.  Take your time.  Try new things. And remember...it's only hair!

MY ROOM DECOR: DIY, HOMEGOODS & THRIFTED FINDS



(VIDEO BELOW)
I'm in full purging and decorating mode. After moving my dresser to a different location I put together this 9 Cube Storage piece I purchased from Bed Bath And Beyond using my 20% discount of course.  I was able to put this piece together in about an hour and love the results.  It's very sturdy and well worth the full price.  After putting it together I decided to decorate it using some of my discount, thrift and sale finds.  Not sure I'll leave the storage piece styled this way, but wanted to share the results with you.


How did I do?  Oh - details regarding the re-purposed, DIY, Clearance and Sale items below!  Thanks for watching!
