As my hair is now a lot longer I can actually curl or style it which is very exciting for me, but also a bit daunting, I have never had to do that before as my hair barely even needed much brushing! I have always wanted long curly hair and, with a bit of practice, I think I might be able to get better and really do it properly. I have been practising a bit this week and this is what I have managed so far.
I used my Yogi hair wand finally! My hair wasn’t long enough before and it just looked a bit rubbish but now I can curl it round and round! I followed the instructions on the Yogi website as I don’t really know what I am doing and I have copied and pasted them below in case it helps someone else.
- Take a section of the hair
(the smaller the section, the tighter the curl). - Holding the end of the sectioned hair, place the wand close to the root (be careful not to touch the scalp) and wrap this section around the wand.
- Keep the hair in this position, tightly against the wand for approximately 10 seconds.
- Gently pull the wand out of the curled section of hair making sure that you continue to hold on to the end of the hair.
- Release the hair and achieve your perfect YOGI curl.
The Yogi wand is always in magazines and they sell these in the salon that I got my hair extensions done (Sibs Salon) so I knew it was a good brand to use. They cost around £65 from www.yogihairwand.com/ and come in different colours if you don’t want just black. They come with one heat proof glove but to be honest I really do think they should come with two as I still managed to burn myself a bit when I did the other side of my head and had to switch hands. Then again I just checked and they do only cost £4.95 so I could have just bought another one lol!
It also came with a heat resistant pouch which is really handy as you can put it on your lap or the side so you don’t melt or burn anything.
Overall I much prefer this wand to my Babyliss one and recommend this Yogi one for use with normal hair or extensions.
Clinique Chubby Stick
Another product that I have been loving this week is the Clinique Chubby stick. I love pink or peach glossy lips so I got Whoppin Watermelon and it’s so handy to pop on without a mirror and it is really shiny and moisturising.
The colour is quite sheer so if you want a bit of ‘bang for your buck’ then you aren’t going to get it with the Chubby Stick but I really like it and it fits in with my three million other pink lipglosses very nicely! It costs £13.50 and I think I might get Chunky Cherry as well.
