My damaged and frizzy hair and tips on how to avoid or how to help you if you have it.

Hey everyone!

Today I am posting about my damaged, frizzy hair and giving some tips on how to avoid it or if you already have damaged, frizzy hair tips to help you.

I used to have thick, long, smooth and frizz-free hair. One day I had it cut short so that I could see what it was like before my hair got to long for me to be able to cut it.(Because I was always scared that it would look bad and the longer it got the harder it was to make the decision). So I had it cut and although I loved it I wanted to change it slightly. So dyed it a deep, dark red. Then purple. Then red. Then purple.The dye changed my hair alot, maybe my hair is sensitive or I didn't do something I should have done but my hair was completely different. I had thought it would be fine because it was a brand with a really good rating, however, my hair started to frizz, lose shine and dry
out. So tip number 1: Don't dye your excessively and if possible don't dye it at all.

To try and get my old hair back or just to get it better I have to do alot of things. I have to use a hair mask every time I was my hair other wise it is very dull and even frizzier than usual. Tip number 2: Use a hair mask, you can get different ones that target different thing so find one that targets your need and get it. Then after I have washed my hair I apply some argan oil and at the moment I am also using 'Kair' leave in conditioner. Tip number 3: Use oils such as argan oil after you wash your hair and in the morning. You don't need to use much and although it can be expensive it is worth it, however, if you find it on sale I would urge you to buy it as it has definitely helped me. Tip 4: After I have washed my hair I try to only dry it with a cotton t-shirt and I never use a blow-dryer.

In the morning when I am doing my hair I usually apply some argan oil or something similar and then use my heat protector spray as I have found that it made my hair less frizzy through out the day. I also apply a tiny bit of coconut oil as it protects my hair against the sun and chlorine (I go swimming fairly often) but not too much other wise it can look greasy.

That is all I have for now if you want another post similar to this let me know in the comments below.

Where was I?!

So I haven't posted anything here for quite a long time and here is the reason why.
I haven't had a lot of time and I have had home work to do as well as my Duke Of Edinburgh award to do. And I would like to say that although I have greatly missed writing I won't be writing for probably a few more weeks. This is because I have a science exam and if you knew me then you would know that I want a job that needs A's in science yet I am not very good so it is important that I revise and work hard at it. I am also running for head-girl so I must complete the tasks needed first. I hope that I can publish a few posts in the holiday to makeup for the fact that I haven't written in quite some time.

Tips for strong nails!

Hello everyone!

Beautiful long nails that are strong and health are a dream for many but I have researched and compiled a list of the 4 major things to help you achieve that dream.

1.Moisturize daily- Nails need to be hydrated as most of the problem started when they aren't.

2.Limit professional manicures as they aren't good for your nails...at all.

3.Avoid acetone-based polish removers as they strip the nails and make them brittle.

4.Avoid rough nail files as they lead to cracks in the nail.

So that is all for today! Next week is a favourites post and there are many more coming!

Makup gallery- Brown/black mascara review

Hello everybody!

My last review(EOS Pomegranate and raspberry) went really well! You all seem to love it and it is my most read article! So I decided that I would do another one.

Today I am reviewing poundland's: Make-up gallery,Never ending story

  95/100

Pros:
Cheap
Nice brush
Not clumpy
Perfect for an everyday look
Makes lashes long but not too long

Cons:
Can't use for big party lashes
Lighter mascara is still quite dark

Worth it: Yes! Definitely!
Would I buy again: Yes, I am positive that I will be buying this product again

Final comments: I really like the mascara for a really cute, everyday lashes, however, they don't really work as a set of party lashes. I will be buying this again as I love the cute open look it gives to my eyes and only £1 it is a really good bargain.

And that is today's post! I hope you liked it! Please like,comment and follow me!

33 Beauty life hacks that you NEED to know.

Hey!
So I have been doing some research and testing and I have decided to share my results so here are 100 beauty life hacks!
By the way, this will take some time so get comfy!

1. Contour with a spoon- Use the bowl of the spoon and align it where you put your contour and apply the contour
2. Lemon + baking powder = White teeth- Mix 1 tsp of lemon juice with 1tsp of baking powder/baking soda and use it to brush your teeth you will instantly have whiter teeth.( Don't use it too often or it can damage your gums.)
3. Red lipstick=No dark under eye circles- Rub in some red/dark orange lipstick around your eyes before your foundation and concealer and it massively reduces dark circles under your eyes.
4. Normal lipstick to matte lipstick- After applying your lipstick put some powder over it and it will make it matte. Yay! twice as many colours! Unless they are already matte...
5. Longer lasting lipstick- To make your lipstick last longer put some on your lips(obviously... you don't put it on your eyes!... oh wait...)put a tissue over your lips and then put some powder over the tissue.Take the tissue off and put some more lipstick on and it will last wayyyy longer.
6.  Quick drying nails- To dry your nail varnish really quickly put your painted fingernails in cold water. Leave them there for a few mins and then take them out. Ta-da! Dry nails!
7. Cheap dry shampoo- Instead of spending your money on expensive dry shampoo just use baby powder. However if you have dark hair then put it in the night before otherwise it looks really weird.
8. Lighter armpits- Rub the inside part of half a potato on your armpits to make them lighter.
9. Exfoliated lips- Brush your dry lips with your dry toothbrush to get rid of all of the dead skins and have smoother lips!
10. Dry your hair with a cotton T-Shirt- For less frizzy hair dry your hair with a cotton T-shirt, I don't know how but this works great!
11. Triangle concealer- So I'm sure you know about this life hack but when you put concealer around your eyes you draw(and fill in) a downwards triangle.
12.  Cheap brush cleaner - Instead of spending money on expensive brush cleaners use baby shampoo. It works really well to take off the makeup and it very gentle so it won't harm your skin.
13. Better natural eye-shadow- When you use natural eye-shadow colours it doesn't always stand out as much as you would like it to, to solve this put it on using your fingers instead of using a brush.
14. Mix coffee grains and coconut oil for an exfoliator 
15. Use a card to prevent your mascara going on your eye-shadow
16. Smoother mascara- When your mascara or eyeliner goes clumpy put it in a bowl or mug of hot water for about 10 mins and it will make it a lot smoother.
17.  Paint your nails with a PVA glue before glitter nail varnish so that when you need to take it off it is quick, easy and you have no leftover glittery bits.
18. Put a green tea teabag (the teabag of green tea) over your chapped lips for 5 mins and they will be smooth and healthy.
19. Use vaseline instead of shaving cream
20. Before you put some perfume on rub in some vaseline on the places you wish to put the perfume on to make it last longer.
21. Rub in some vaseline on your feet and wear socks for smooth feet. This must be done overnight.
22. Mix body lotion and cocoa powder or coffee seeds for a cheap, easy fake tan
23. Apply a white base for brighter nails.
24. For a stronger hold hairspray booby pins/grips before putting them in your hair.
25. Use concealer as an eye-shadow base.
26. Put eyeliner on the inside of your eyelash curler
27. If a bottle of nail varnish is hard to open wrap an elastic band around it so that you can grip it and open it easily.
28. Warm up your eyelash curler for more defined eyelashes-  You can stick it in your bra while you do the rest of your make-up or you could warm it up with a hair dryer.
29. Keep old mascara wands as you can re-use them.
30. Use an eyebrow comb to separate clumpy lashes.
31. Use lip-balm as eyebrow gel.
32. Use 100% natural Greek yoghurt(yogurt) on blemishes.
33. Use eye-shadow as eyebrow filler.

EOS-Pomegranate and raspberry lipbalm review

Hello peeps from the internet!

So, today I am doing an EOS lip balm review. The flavour I chose was pomegranate and raspberry.

I give the product a 80 /100

Pros:

1. The lip balm is soft and smooth.
2. It is nice to use due to the shape.
3. It has a really nice shape.
4. Nice taste ans smell.
5. Good lip balm

No.5 is obviously the most important one, it is a good lip balm however I have had better lip balms.

Cons:

1. Expensive
2. Kinda bulky in your pocket

I think that I would be likely to buy it again as it is really nice to use, has a nice taste and smells amazing, however, in England the cheapest i could find them was £5 plus postage. I was lucky to find a site that did it cheaper but it took 4 weeks to arrive as i decided to have a cheaper postage.

I cannot definitely say whether or not it was worth the money spent until I know how long it lasts.

I would recommend this if you can find it cheaply, it works for an every-day lip-balm however if you have chapped lips it takes some time to heal.

Bye,

Summer - X
