Crown of Glory…

When I got a hair cut last week, I walked out of the salon with glossy, silky, smooth-as-glass locks framing my face. Never had my hair felt so soft nor looked so shiny! Seriously, it was love and I really love to see it like that, it can add my self-confidence…lolz… Anyway, after that I go to the near beauty store to ask and buy a product, then the sales representative introduced a great product that replicate the effect according to her and she give me a little instruction on how to do it… Just wanna share it also… :)

Things You’ll Need:

  • Straightening shampoo
  • Straightening conditioner
  • Leave-in spray conditioner or detangler
  • Heat protecting hair serum
  • Volumizing mousse
  • Round styling brush
  • Hair clips
  • Hair dryer
  • Straightening iron
  • Hair spray

Process:

1. Before you even step in the shower, work any tangles out with a wide-tooth comb. While in the shower, wash with your favorite straightening shampoo. After rinsing out the shampoo, work in either Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner or Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep Recovery Hair Mask. For extra silky hair, go with the mask!

2. Blot excess moisture from hair with a towel. Spritz on Sunsilk’s Therma Shine Detangling Spray and comb through.

3. Apply an anti-frizz heat-protecting serum to the ends of the hair only. I recommend John Frieda’s Thermal Protection Hair Serum. Then apply a small dollop of volumizing mousse to the roots on the very top of your hair.

4. Clip the top half of your hair up and begin drying the bottom half of your hair. In small sections, brush through and dry with a round styling brush. If you’ve ever gotten a round brush tangled in your hair, try Goody’s Ouchless Ceramic styling brush. It’s got a little button on top that completely retracts the bristles if you get snagged up.

5. Take down the top section of hair and dry. Add volume to the crown by blasting the roots with the dryer while holding hair up and taut with the brush.

6. After hair is dry, it’s time to pull out the big guns! All this time, I’ve been trying to run a curling iron through my hair to straighten it out. Evidently, a curling iron is better suited to add curl, while a straightening iron with smooth ceramic plates is the best tool to iron out all your kinks … who would’ve thought?? So I picked up the Conair Infiniti Solid Ceramic Straightener and am now addicted. Quickly run the iron over small sections of hair to instantly smooth frizzies and add shine.

7. Finish by spraying a little hairspray into your palms, and running lightly over the top layer of hair.

My Online Diary… :)

    I can say that blogging is one of my favorite past time hobby as of now. I really enjoyed making and sharing my thoughts in this way, knowing that I am a type of person who is not expressive to what I feel or believe especially when I’m in crowd. It was first introduced to me by my boo, and I could remember that my first niche was all about brain teaser and tongue twister but unfortunately the bloghosting was expired, despite of this my eagerness to make or write a blog was never weaken specially when I read in the certain site’s article that making blog is not just for pleasure but it can be also for business wherein you can make a blog for money. As a matter of fact many people now earn part-time or even full-time salaries thru blog for money. The first thing you should do was to promote your blog. You can also use web services that will get you some attention such as blog directories. By using these services can help you get indexed in search engines and drive traffic to your blog. Commenting on other blogs can also build links in to your blog and help more people find you. Once you have some material to read and find that they are indexed in search engines, you can begin to monetize your blog for money and start earning. Simple tips that I’ve learned was make your blog visually appealing. Ask for advice from friends on the look and layout of your blog. Try to blend advertisements into your blog so they are more appealing and less obvious
