Show Us Your Life

Today over a Kelly's Korner she is having a Show Us Your Life - Hair & Beauty Tips. Well I have naturally curly hair. It's big, it's frizzy and it's my prize procession!!! Ha!

How do I get my hair this curly? First I make sure it's watered down with cold water (helps with moisture). Then I brush it out. I flip it upside down and then apply a lot of mousse ( I use the Rave brand). Then I add a nickel amount of L.A. Look Mega hold hair gel. Then still upside down I take a towel and scrunch it a bit and then I spray it with Rave mega hold hairspray. Then I dry it with a blow dryer with a diffuser. It normally takes about 5 minutes to dry and then I finally flip my hair back over. I add more hairspray it needed and that's how you get big, curly, Texas hair!!!


Sometimes I do go straight, but very rarely. It takes forever to straighten my hair, like 2 hrs! I use a chi when I do straighten it! Plus Justin prefers it curly! It was so funny, when I first met Justin I was wearing my hair straight. Then on our first date I showed up with it curly. I wasn't sure if he would like it because it is such a big difference, but he loved it! Lucky me!!!


As for make-up...some products I can't live without are Neutrogena Healthy Defense daily moisturizer. It has a light tint and SPF 30. Bonus! I use this instead of foundation. It's light and good for your skin. Double Bonus!!! I also use that famous mascara in that pink and green tube! Ha! Oh, and a new thing I just fell in love with is Nivea Kiss of Moisture Essential Lip Care. This too protects your lips from the sun and looks like you have gloss on, but it's not greasy! Justin even uses it while at work and there are always coupons for it. You can find it at the stores by the chapsticks and lip care products!

Stop on by Kelly's Korner and check out more Hair and Make-up tips!!!

I've permed it like 5 times in my life and everytiem it lasts, oh maybe a month? I hate straight hair *sigh* But my 3 year old daughter has curly hair so she better watch out, momma is gunna be doing her hair lots! LoL.

    I am sooo glad you joined in on the FUN! Your hair is sooo super cute! I love it curly or straight! If I didn't have my Chi Iron I would be a HOT MESS LOL! I can't believe it takes like 2 hrs to straighten your hair....
    I found that VS So Sexy Shine Serum does wonders when straightening too.

    Thanks for the Neutrogena tip....I am gonna get that....ya know I have to be sooo careful with my skin with this disease stuff....
