Heatless Waves

Who doesn't want heatless waves?

For months... Yes months, I've been searching and testing different "heatless wave" tutorials (too many tutorials left my hair kinky or I ended up having to use heat.. No thanks) and sea salt sprays (not only have to work, but smell good also #picky). I can FINALLY say that I have found the best tutorial and spray that work. 

Want to achieve this look? Here's how to get it: John Frieda's Beach Blonde Sea Salt Spray & Heatless Headband Waves tutorial. 

John Frieda's Sea Salt Spray is light and doesn't weigh my hair down. The smell is not a perfume or heavy smell, but a light coconut-y smell. As soon as I spray it on my hair I can instantly see the waves start to form and it doesn't leave my hair dry. 

This Heatless Headband Waves tutorial is by far the best one I've ever found. I've seen so many where I have to use a million clips or have awkward buns all over my head. I nanny super early in the morning so it's nice to just wake up and go, and be able to leave my hair like this while working and then come home and taken it down and my hair is wavy and I'm ready for class.  I've tried other heatless headband wave tutorials before, but it says take a small section of hair, wrap it around the headband, and then add hair and repeat until finished. My hair gets so kinky and just ew. This one, you will twist half your hair, and put all of that around the headband... Just watch it and try it!

You can use the sea salt spray without having to do the tutorial, but they're better together :)

Let me know how it works for you!

DIY Kimono

If you're anything like me, then you love DIY projects. Some can be tricky and I end up frustrated and then others are SO easy. This is an easy DIY. It took me no more than 30 minutes to make and I didn't get frustrated once! This kimono is made out of a scarf. I found the redish one at Target for $4 and the yellow one from Charming Charlie for $4 as well. A $4 kimono and I get to pick the print too?? DEAL. Now, this project does require a little sewing, but if you're not a sewer DON'T FRET. You can use fabric glue :) Instead of getting out my sewing machine, I just hand sewed the entire thing and it didn't take me long at all. Sooo let's get started :) What you'll need: Scarf Scissors Needle & thread or fabric glue Measuring tape or ruler Pins (to hold fabric together for easier sewing) Directions: 1. Fold scarf in half inside out, lining up the edges. 2. Sew each side, leaving room for your arms near the fold. 3. After sewing the sides, measure the scarf at the bottom to find the middle of the scarf 4. After finding the middle, cut from the bottom up to the fold and stop ***ONLY CUT THE TOP LAYER*** not both layers!! 5. Fold over edges and iron them down, creating a crease for easier sewing. Sew the edges.  Turn right side out and VOILA! Kimono :) Comment/e-mail me if you have any questions!
