Wavy hair!!

Hey everyone! I had a busy past few months and I finally have time to update my blog. My hair has been pin straight since I was born. It does not hold curls very well even when hairspray and product are used. Even when I try to scrunch it, nothing!!

Sooo I searched the internet to find some good products. I ended up buying:
1. Got2b guardian angel: this is a heat protectant spray that can protect your hair from damage of straightening, curling, anything! plus, it smells AMAZING!!
2. RedKen spray starch 15: I bought this from Ulta and it is a basic hairspray but it doesn't make your hair "hard and crunchy". It holds the hair while making your hair look natural.
3. got2b texture powder: Honestly, this doesn't work for me. I read online that it is supposed to make your hair have more volume and texture... I didn't see any difference.
4. Bed Head wave artist - this is an AMAZING product. I cannot say enough about this! It is a crimper but it has small waves within the big ridge so it makes natural looking waves - not the crimper from the 80's with tiny crimps!! This is amazing and heats up within 30 seconds. The heat setting is a dial and I didn't even have it on the highest heat setting and my hair held the crimp for an entire day and then some!!
*** If you want a more detailed review of the product, I watched several videos on youtube about the product to be sure it would work for my hair.

And my hair turned out awesome!!



I basically sectioned my hair in layers starting with the bottom - sprayed the heat protectant on and some of the starch spray BEFORE crimping and then crimped my hair! I held the crimper on probably 5-10 seconds because I was nervous it wasn't going to hold. I tried the texture powder but it didn't work for me. I sprayed a little starch spray after I was all done to be sure the wave would stay and it did!!

I would advise you to hold the crimper at least 1 inch away from the base of your hair. I accidentally burned my neck because I got too close. The crimper is kind of large so it can be difficult to maneuver but it is pretty light-weight.

All-in-all, I am one happy girl!! This look only took me 20-25 minutes even with my hair being so long! Anyone could recreate this!

Xoxo, Jessica
