HAIR TO /// U SMOOTH WAVE IRON

Hey friends! I've been getting alot of requests on snapchat for hair tutorials  so I decided it was time to bring them back. Since cutting my hair I had to figure out what my go-to look was going to be.  My short hair was totally different than my old routine of going to bed with my long hair wet and it looking exactly the way I wanted it to when I woke up. I actually had to fix it! Can you imagine!? Ha! Well it took awhile but I found out a new routine with my hair and I am loving it!

My Routine ///

On my clean hair day I let it air dry. Next, I spray Antigravity (available at Do or Dye Tx) in my hair and brush it in evenly. Then I begin with the U Smooth Wave Iron ( yes you can purchase at Do or Dye Tx). When I have waved all sections I spray shimmer shine at a distance and more toward the mid to ends, for shine and it smells AMAZING! Did I mention it has gold flakes in it? Last I take a little it of Easy Ryder, also available at Do or Dye Tx, and I emulsify in my hands then barely touch my fly aways on the top of my head. I also run my fingers through the mid to ends to break up the waves and get rid of my fluffy clean hair. I do not usually spend as much time as I do in this video but I wanted you to see how to do it. Once your comfortable with it you can do it the way you like. Sometimes I miss strands in the back on the bottom but that's ok the top pieces cover it. This look will last me all week. On the days I run or go to the gym which is most days, I wait til the sweat air dries and then I spray my favorite dry shampoo. I know sounds gross right? But it's not. My dry shampoo actually cleans my hair and absorbs any oil...and no dirty scalp smell either. PROMISE. Jacob hates dirty scalp smell or any weird smell so he would def let me know! Sometimes I go back and touch up strands but its only ever a few. I hope you find this video helpful, and please let me know what other Hair To's you'd like to see. 

OHHHHH how can I forget!!! We will be teaching all this and more at another HAIR TO CLASS  at Do or Dye Tx on August 21st from 1-3pm /// The last class was such a hit and so many people missed out because they didn't get their tickets on time so we decided to keep them going. Only this time instead of just teaching with the wand, you get to pick which tool you want to learn with. You don't wanna miss out on Champagne, Treats, Hair Tricks/ Tips, a new understanding of your hair, swag bag, and a group of awesome ladies! 

POOL PARTY MUST HAVES

When you live in Houston and it is Summer Time the only way to survive is Pool Party. So if you don't have a pool you should talk you significant other into investing in one,  make friends with someone with a pool or consider moving to an apartment complex just for the pool. Thankfully I have several friends and family with pools so I'm solid. If your one of those friends/family members (like me) who always uses your friends (cousins)  pool you gotta bring the goods over food, booze, and pool floats! Buy them the really fun statement floats and not the lame cheapy ones that deflate after a day. I promise they will appreciate it and probably want you around more instead of avoiding your text/phone call asking if you can come over. Bottom line is BRING THE PARTY! Below are some of my favorites.

WHAT'S IN MY BAG /// Makeup

I usually don't wear too much makeup because I actually like the way I look without it. There is nothing like a fresh face in the morning. I've always loved waking up and seeing my family or my friends without makeup, I just think everyone is so cute and beautiful right when they wake up.  But, for work, special occassions or when I need to be a little more presentable because I don't want to come off messy or lazy I have fun with makeup. I have a make up bag full of Goodies thanks to my girl Ginny Lee! A couple months ago I called her up and asked for help because 1. I didn't know how to put it on and 2. I had no idea what I needed to buy. She knows that I like the natural look (minus bright lippy) and I just want to enhance my features so I trusted her. We met up  and had a blast trying different lippy's and highlighters bc I like to glow. We shopped here and here /// Below is what is in my makeup bag. I always encourage a darker bag so you don't get makeup leaks and look like a dirty girl when you pull it out in front of people. 

Don't forget Nordstrom is having a HUGE Anniversary sale this weekend! You do not want to miss it!
