70’S FLIP HAIR TREND HEAVY ON VOLUME & ATTITUDE

The waterfall cut is a new hair trend that adds texture and movement to long hair. It is inspired by the 70s, when shaggy layers and feathered bangs were popular. The waterfall cut involves cutting the hair in different lengths, creating a cascading effect that resembles a waterfall. The layers start from the crown of the head and go all the way to the ends, framing the face and adding volume. The waterfall cut works well for all hair types, especially thick and curly hair. It can also be styled in various ways, such as with waves, curls, braids, or accessories. The waterfall cut is a versatile and modern hairstyle that can give you a fresh and fun look

LACE WIGS VS. HAIR EXTENSIONS……

Lace Wigs vs Hair Extensions: Which One Will Make You Look Bomb?

If you’re looking for a way to change up your hairstyle, you might be wondering whether to go for a lace wig or hair extensions. Both options have their pros and cons, and depending on your preferences and needs, one might suit you better than the other. In this blog post, I’ll compare lace wigs and hair extensions in terms of installation, maintenance, appearance, and cost. Hopefully, by the end of this post, you’ll have a better idea of which one to choose for your next hair makeover.

Installation

Lace wigs are basically hairpieces that cover your entire head and have a lace base that mimics your natural scalp and hairline. You can either glue them down or use clips or straps to secure them. Hair extensions are strands of hair that are attached to your own hair using various methods, such as sewing, clipping, taping, or bonding.

The installation process for lace wigs is relatively easy and quick. You just need to prep your hair by braiding it or wrapping it flat, apply some adhesive or glue to the lace, and place the wig on your head. You can also cut and style the wig as you wish. Hair extensions, on the other hand, can take longer and require more skill to install. Depending on the method you choose, you might need to visit a salon or have someone help you with the application. You also need to match the color, texture, and length of the extensions to your own hair.

Maintenance

Lace wigs and hair extensions both require regular maintenance to keep them looking good and healthy. Lace wigs need to be washed, conditioned, and styled every few weeks, depending on how often you wear them. You also need to remove them carefully and store them properly to avoid tangling and shedding. Hair extensions need to be washed, conditioned, and styled along with your own hair. You also need to avoid pulling, brushing, or sleeping with them, as this can cause damage and breakage. Depending on the method of attachment, you might need to visit a salon every few weeks to have them tightened or removed.

Appearance

Lace wigs and hair extensions both have the potential to give you a natural and realistic look, as long as you choose the right quality, color, and style. Lace wigs have the advantage of creating a seamless hairline and scalp, which allows you to wear them in different ways, such as ponytails, buns, or half-up styles. Hair extensions have the advantage of blending in with your own hair and adding volume and length to your existing hairstyle. However, lace wigs can sometimes look bulky or unnatural, especially if they are not fitted or styled properly. Hair extensions can sometimes look mismatched or obvious, especially if they are not matched or blended properly.

Cost

Lace wigs and hair extensions both vary in price, depending on the quality, type, and quantity of hair used. Lace wigs tend to be more expensive than hair extensions, as they require more hair and craftsmanship to make. However, lace wigs can also last longer than hair extensions, as they can be reused and restyled multiple times. Hair extensions tend to be cheaper than lace wigs, as they require less hair and labor to make. However, hair extensions can also have a shorter lifespan than lace wigs, as they can get damaged or worn out faster.

Conclusion

Lace wigs and hair extensions both have their pros and cons, and the best choice for you depends on your preferences and needs. If you want a quick and easy way to change your hairstyle, lace wigs might be the way to go. If you want a more permanent and versatile way to enhance your hairstyle, hair extensions might be the way to go. Either way, you’ll be sure to look fabulous with your new hairdo. Just make sure to do your research, choose the right quality, and take good care of your hair. And don’t forget to have fun with your hair!

How to Style Long Curly Hair in 2023

Long curly hair is a beautiful and versatile texture that can be styled in many ways. Whether you want to embrace your natural curls, add some color or extensions, or try out a trendy cut, there is a hairstyle for you. In this blog post, I will share some of the most popular and easy hairstyles for long curly hair in 2023, as well as some tips and tricks to keep your curls healthy and shiny.

Curly Long Hair with Bangs

Bangs can frame your face, add some contrast, and make your curls stand out. You can choose from different types of bangs, such as straight, side-swept, or curtain bangs. To style your curly long hair with bangs, you will need a curling iron or wand, a heat protectant spray, a comb, and some hair clips. Curl your bangs and the rest of your hair in different directions, and shake your curls with your fingers to loosen them up. You can also use some hairspray or gel to hold your curls in place and prevent frizz.

Long Curly Natural Hair

Long curly natural hair is a gorgeous texture that can be styled in many ways. You can wear your hair down and let your curls flow, or you can try some creative updos, braids, or twists. The key to maintaining your long curly natural hair is to keep it moisturized, detangled, and protected. Use a sulfate-free shampoo and a moisturizing conditioner to cleanse and hydrate your hair. Use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush to gently remove any knots or tangles from your hair. Use a leave-in conditioner, a curl cream, or an oil to seal in the moisture and define your curls. Use a satin or silk pillowcase, a bonnet, or a scarf to protect your hair at night and prevent frizz and tangling. Experiment with different hairstyles, such as buns, ponytails, puffs, braids, twists, or cornrows. You can also accessorize your hair with clips, bands, scarves, or hats.

SPICE UP YOUR MAKEUP

In this tough economy, every cent counts. With the price of everything from milk to eggs on the rise, it's more important than ever to find ways to save money. That's where dupes come in.

A dupe is a cheaper alternative to a popular product that offers similar quality or performance. By switching to dupes, you can save a significant amount of money on your everyday purchases.

Here are five dupes that will change your life:

• First up, we have the Beauty Blender solid brush cleaner ($18) vs. the Zote soap ($2). Yes, you read that right. Zote soap is a Mexican laundry soap that can also be used to clean makeup brushes effectively and cheaply. The soap contains tallow, which may not be suitable for vegans, but it does a great job of removing dirt and oil from your brushes. Just wet your brush, rub it on the soap, rinse, and repeat until clean. Then, let it air dry on a towel. Voila! You have clean brushes for a fraction of the cost of the Beauty Blender cleaner. You can find Zote soap at Walmart, Target, or online.

• Next, we have the Charlotte Tilbury setting spray ($38) vs. the Milani Make It Last Setting Spray ($9). Both products have film-former polymers that hold the makeup in place better than regular setting sprays. The Milani spray also adds a subtle glow, but it has alcohol denat. in its ingredients, which can be drying for some skin types. If you don’t mind that, you can save yourself $29 and get the same results as the Charlotte Tilbury spray. You can find the Milani spray at Ulta, CVS, or online.

• Moving on, we have the Hourglass hydrating skin tint ($65) vs. the Milani Glow Hydrating Skin Tint ($13). Both products are perfect for people with dry skin who want light coverage and a dewy finish. Both products have a high percentage of squalane, which is a moisturizing ingredient that mimics the skin’s natural oils. The downside of the Milani product is the limited shade range, which only has 12 options compared to the Hourglass product’s 20. However, if you can find your match, you can save yourself $52 and get the same glowy look. You can find the Milani product at Walgreens, Target, or online.

• Next up, we have the Glossier You ($60) vs. the Eau de Juice’s 100% Chilled Body Mist ($12.99). Both products have a unique scent that adapts to the wearer’s skin chemistry. The body mist is a lighter version of the perfume, which has notes of bergamot, coconut water, and sandalwood. The body mist is also vegan and cruelty-free, unlike the perfume. If you want to smell like a tropical vacation without breaking the bank, you can save yourself $47.01 and get the body mist instead of the perfume. You can find the body mist at Kohl’s, Ulta, or online.

• Finally, we have the Rare Beauty eyeshadow stick ($20) vs. the Colourpop shadow stix ($6). Both products have a creamy texture, easy application, and long-lasting wear. Both products also have a variety of shades and finishes, from matte to metallic. The Colourpop ones are more affordable, and they also have a built-in sharpener, which is handy. You can save yourself $14 and get the same eye look with the Colourpop shadow stix. You can find them at Ulta or online.
