Loose No Heat Curls



For those of you whose hair doesnt curl so easily
or if you want to go heat-free for a while,
you might want to try a Bantu-Knot Out.
Its great for anyone with straight-ish hair.
Well, really it could work for anyone -
the result would just be a bit different on
thicker hair !




1. Put a small amount of a  light moisturizer throughout 
your hair. Nothing that will make your hair too 
stiff though. Also this works best on freshly washed hair.
It does not have to be damp though. I did mine dry.


2. Grab random chunks of hair and twirl the hair
in your fingers tightly. The smaller the section -
the tighter the curl. So, just grab the
section of hair and twist it as one big piece
counter-clock wise till its tightly wound.  



( Just a random pic from the internet)


3. After that , coil the hair up close to your scalp.
Wrap the hair around itself like you see
in the pic. If you twist the hair up tight in the 2nd step
it will automatically wanna coil around itself into a nice
little donut shape.
If you have coarser hair it will stay just like that.
If not use a bobby pin to secure.


You will look a bit crazy afterwards but its okay !


4. Put on a silk cap or  bandana or something
to secure the hair in place while you sleep.


5. A bit of hair spray or something that could
keep the curl lasting longer. If it looks okay as is
dont loosen the curls too much with your fingers. 
Just let them loosen up as the day goes so it will
last longer. 


If your hair is rather fine or long and you dont think 
the coils would stay perhaps you could try 
this method instead :





Its a rather  similar concept but just a bit better for
those with long or thin hair. She puts all the rolls
with the clips at the top of her head so that
it doesnt disrupt her sleep. 


When you wake up the curls will look rather separated
so just take your fingers and break them up a bit 
for a natural look! 


Add a cute Hair bow as well !
I got mine online from Forever 21. 
Its called the Chiffon Dotted Head Band 
$ 3.80




Here is my result :

Amerie's Blonde Hair




Ive always been a fan of Ameries Look.
Her music is ... well ... blah. 
I just think her songs arent catchy enough.
But, she is so freaking gorgeous.
She is half korean, half black if you didnt know.
She has a cute tattoo on her lower back
with her name in Korean.
I remember when I first saw her "1 Thing"
MV and freaked out when they showed her
tattoo in Korean.  Haha !








She has worked with Se7en also. 
I think there are clips on youtube
of them playing around in the studio
as well as the MV for "Take Control"
I just wish I knew why none of her songs have
been that good since "Why dont we fall in love"
Do you know what I mean ? They are just
all kind of dull...


So, yeah her father worked on the 
U.S Base in South Korea so thats how he 
met her Korean mom !
Cool right ?
Anyways, I always envied her luscious black hair 
& now its...gone ! 
What do you think ?
I think its too pale of a blonde for her skin tone.
I do like when stars switch up their look
but...not all hair colors suit all people.

I love Minjis Hair ~ !

I just watched the Inkigayo Stage of 
2NE1 on youtube and in "Cant Nobody"
Minjis hair was so freaking cool !
It makes me want to get purple clip in
hair extensions for fall.
I think it would give my black hair some edge.
Woohoo. Gonna look em up on ebay.









I dont dont want them to be
plastic looking...Hmm lets see what I can find. 







These seem to be good because they are human hair
which means you can style them and even dye them
a different purple shade if you want.
But, there isnt much hair so you might have to order
2 sets if you want a good bit of purple.
Remember - if you see in the description
that its only 30 grams then its really not much
hair at all.


I may just stick to one set as I just want it on the
bottom layers like Minji.





I think places like Hot Topic
would have similar ones as well. 



So, yeah have a look around ebay or whatever
and see what you can find ! : )
