Review: Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Moist

Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Deep Conditioner: Moist Version

Review: I was in need of a new deep conditioner and I had run out of my Macadamia Deep Repair Mask and I loved that deep conditioner. My hair's in a really weird state at the moment. Its damaged from heat styling but it's not overly damaged. I really loved this conditioner. It's very moisturizing and very good for it's price. I'm already on my 2nd bottle. It makes my hair very soft and it feels so soft when I get right out of the shower. The way the product is packaged, it makes it super convenient and easy to squeeze out. I did hear it had wax in it and all it does is coat the hair and not repair it. Though, I still like the product and it is worth the 2 or 3 dollars.

Verdict: Extremely good for it value. Packaging is convenient and easy. Smells nice. It may not completely repair you hair, but will help. I think this can even be used everyday for thicker hair. Give it a try and see if it's worth you while.

Sorry, for the lack of post, lately. School has been eating me alive. I'm trying my best.

Till' next time, Bye.

How to Good Grades + Get through Finals

1.

   

Studying

what you're avoiding right now

you are avoiding studying right

True.

Getting good grades is hard when your exhausted from School and still have a Social Life. Right? I get it. Here are a few trick I learned so far from a Straight A Student.

• Don't Procrastinate!
                             Don't Do it! Your going to regret it so much when rushing and staying up late trying to finish (or even start). It really does show in work. Just do it even if you don't understand, because you want at least some points and not just a zero.
• Rewrite all of the Material
                              This tip really good for test or Finals not so much for homework(but it could be). All you have to do, a day or two before the test rewrite all of the material you learned. Its a lot more affective than just starring at the paper.
• Build a Good Foundation
                               Make sure you do all of your homework, all the extra credit, and turn in all missing assignments even if you'll get a zero. It shows the teacher your really trying. (They might even bump you up a little bit) Make sure to get a few percentage points above the goal grade you wants, so even if you do badly on the final your chances of getting a grade you don't won't. Basically, If you want at least a 80 in the class don't walk into the final with a 76 but rather with a 83 or 84. If you need some help calculating what you need here's a grade calculator: Final Grade Calculator
• Study Space is Huge
                               Where you study is a huge factor, especially with finals. Make sure you have no distraction and that your comfortable. And apparently background noise is actually really good and Starbucks apparently has just the right amount of background noise, and you can get a really good Starbucks while your there. But if can't get to Starbucks, play some Mozart music. It can apparently stimulate your brain cells. 
• Improve the way you Study
                                Here are few simple ways to just improve your studying really quickly. Study the material right before you go to sleep, make sure its the last thing you see before you go asleep. Take frequent  Breaks. Be sure to quiz yourself. Read everything out loud and in your mind. Eat lots of Omega-3's. Just experiment and see what works for you.

So here are a few tips I've learned, but make sure to remember that School doesn't test how smart you are but rather just your meomory. And youth doesn't have a age, so remember your still young and allowed to slack off and have some fun. So good luck and study hard.

Review: Tresemme Platinum Strength Deep Conditioning Treatment

Review: Tresemme Platinum Strength Deep Conditioning Treatment

So, I have a huge problem. I always run out of conditioner faster than Shampoo. I have about 3 shampoos almost empty in my shower because I don't like using different shampoos and conditioners together. So since I was using the Tresemme Platinum Strength Shampoo and Conditioner, I just picked up the Tresemme Platinum Strength Shampoo and Conditioner.

I've been using this product for about 1 month now as my everyday conditioner. I know it sounds weird but I usually only wash my hair 1 or twice a week because if I do wash every single day my hair will just dry out.  That and my hair doesn't get oily too fast.

I really do like this product. It's affordable (around $4-5) and easy to get your hands on (found it at Target). It is quite moisturizing and it does make my hair really soft. I would definitely repurchase. But it is not the best but still pretty good. It doesn't make my holy grail list but I would definitely repurchase because it works but it's not life changing.

So I'd say give a chance, it pretty nice product. It works but it doesn't work wonders. I'd give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

P.S- Sorry, I was gone for so long! School's been killing me. 

Review: Garnier Fructis Marvelous Oil Deep Nourish 5-Action Hair Elixir

Review: Garnier Fructis Marvelous Oil: Deep Nourish 

A few Weeks ago, I purchased the Garnier Fructis Marvelous in the Deep Nourish Venison. 

(I am so sick of writing that name, it is seriously so long.)

It says it is A 5-action hair Elixir that contains Capuacu & Brazil nut Oil.  It has other ingredients on the back that may not be so great for your hair. It nourishes and helps repair dry, damaged hair.  

And you can use it for 5 things:

1.) Preshampoo Treatment

You can Apply to wet or dry hair before Shampooing to prime hair for gentle cleaning

2.) Conditioner Booster

Add 1 or 2 droops to conditioner to improve detangling

3.) Blow-Dry Accelerator

 Apply to Damp Hair to dry hair Faster

4.) Ends Finisher

Apply to Dry or Damp hair ends to smooth split ends and tame fly aways

5.) Overnight Leave-in

Work into wet or dry hair, leave in over-night to restore softness

Review: 

This is okay. It did dry my hair a little bit if I used a little too much at 1 times.

This defiantly wasn't made for really thick course hair like me.

It smells nice and it leaves a slight residue on your hands and on your hair.

I mostly just use it as a Ends Finisher it makes my hair a little bit more shinier but it doesn't restore my hair or make it softer. I don't think I will Repurchase this, but I will use it up because it isn't horrific.

It may be better for really thin hair but if you have really damaged hair I would try something else.

Final Thoughts: Okay, but not for restoring Hair. 

Reinvent Yourself: 2014 Back to School Series

10 Ways to Change Your Look

Been wanting to reinvent yourself for the new school?

But don't know where to start?

Here are a few ways:

1.) Part your Hair Differently

Have you Been parting your hair the same way for a Long time?

Maybe its time for a change?

A simple change can be just flipping you hair to the other side of your head.

This can increase volume at the roots and change the way the front sections of your hair frame your face. 

2.) Change your Hair All Together

Try a new Hair Color or a New Hair Cut, Coco Chanel once said that if a Girl cuts her Hair is about to change her World.

But if you are too scared to go with something permanent, try a some clip-in extensions or a really good deep conditioning treatment.

Mix some oils from your kitchen(I like olive oil or Coconut Oil) together.

3.)Different Makeup

Go a complete 180 degrees with your makeup.

Always wear shimmer eye shadow? Try a complete Matte Look.

Try red lips or get a stronger brow game.

Just step out of your comfort zone and try something new

 not just with your makeup but with your style or your hair.

4.) A new Manicure

Always get a french tip, try all black nail or all white nails.

Try a matte nails or gel nails.

Cut your nails shorter or grow them longer.

Again try something new.

5.) New Accessories

If you always wear silver jewelry, go all gold. Or wear both at the same time.

Get a new signature perfume or mix the some perfumes together.

Get a new bag or watch.

Or just switch them a few times a month.

Long Hair

Want Long Hair?

By: A

I'm pretty sure everyone, at least once in their life, has wanted long healthy hair.

 So if you want healthy, shinny, long hair Here are a few ways to do so.

Always Rinse with Cold Water and Wash with Lukewarm Water

Even though it doesn't feel very nice, especially after a shot shower.

But it will seal the Hair Shaft and Cuticle. Washing your hair with boiling hot water, is as bad for your hair as using heat tools. So minimize the damage by just washing your hair with Lukewarm Water and 

rinse with cold water to seal the moisture and cuticle.

Heat Protectant!

If you want to use heat on your hair, always use a Heat Protectant.

I don't care what your excuse is always use one!

It creates a barrier between the curling iron or the straightener and tour Hair. It limits the amount of damage to your hair.

Diet

"You are what you eat." In this case, its true. 

Introduce more Biotin, Iron, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Zinc, & Potassium: for more hair growth, healthier, shiner hair. Water, too!

Drink at least 8 glasses of water every day. Eat Oranges, Strawberries, Bananas, Salmon, Spinach, almonds, apricots, and eggs.

Not only will it help your hair but your skin, too! Two Birds with one Stone. 

Stimulation to the Scalp

It brings blood and circulation to the Scalp which will help it grow.

You can simply flip your hair upside down or just massage your scalp for at least 2 minutes.

Piece of Cake.

No more Stress!

Stress takes a toll on your body, especially your hair. So calm down!

It causes your hair to fall out, so not cool.

Sleep more, take a relaxing bath, get a massage just relax!

What Saved my Hair

What Saved my Hair?

I went through a really bad stage with my hair. I wasn't treating my hair correctly. My hair was really dried out and frizzy. I was putting a toll on my hair.
I was straightening my hair every day, washing my hair every night, & sleeping with my hair in tight ponytails. I had also cut my hair from past my ribs to my about my collar bone with layers. I had always medium length hair that was straight. After I had cut my hair, my hair was too short my liking and was super frizzy and annoying.

So I went on to Youtube and searched for ways to grow my hair out and to salvage my damaged hair. I got some pretty good answers. These are the steps I took to help my hair.

1.) Stop washing your hair everyday.
"Hair is Fiber. Think of it as wool. The more you wash it the worst it's going to look." 
Try to go from washing your hair everyday to every other day. Then try washing your hair every other day to washing your every 2-3 days. But depending on your hair type, your scalp, & hair texture, it's up to you how often should you be washing my hair. And in-between washes you can use dry-shampoo or what I prefer: baby powder, if you have an oily scalp. 

2.) Stop using Heat
Heat( such as blow dryers, curling irons, or flat irons) is horrible for your hair. Heat tools take moisture out of your hair. That how the curling irons make your hair curly or how flat irons straighten your hair. So limit your heat use or better don't use heat at all. And alway use heat protectant. Heat Protect creates a barrier between the hair and the hot tool. I went a whole 5 months without heat and I really saw a difference.

3.)  Don't use Chemicals on your hair
Limit or even better stop putting Chemical on your hair. It's  terrible for your hair. So slow down on chemically straightening your hair or dying your hair. 

4.) 'Dusting' or A Trim
Dusting is when you go through-out hair and cutting off your split ends. Split ends are deadly. The move up the shaft making your hair shorter, so even if your hair is growing the ends won't maintain because of the split ends.
Or if your too lazy to go throughout your hair and look at each strand for split ends, just go and cut off an inch to get rid of most of the split ends.


5.) Hair Masks(A God's Send)
I saw the most difference with Hair Mask. If your really struggling with frizzy, dull, and dry hair a really great Hair is what you need. I love the Macademia Deep Repair it helps so much. I love it smells amazing and it's the only  hair product where the scent stays in my hair. I love it.


I also love making my own at home. One of my Favorites is 1 egg and 2-3 Table Spoons of Oliver Oil. This masks makes my hair so shiny and silky.

6.) Coconut Oil
This Oil is amazing. This product is what saved my hair. I buy mine at Walmart, it's very inexpensive and really effective. I apply it from Root to Ends and leave it in for at least an hour. Then I wash and condition. Coconut Oil has lots of Protein in it, and your hair is made of Protein. So its really good for your hair. But don't use it too much. Too much Protein is bad for your hair, so moderation is key.

Tip Tuesday

A few tips for bigger lashes.

Tip #1: Apply Mascara in front of a Fan. 

This makes the Mascara dry faster and there fore not clump up.

Tip #2: Put Baby Powder on lashes after 1st Coat of Mascara.

This will make your eye lashes look like Falsies. The Baby Powder thickens your lashes. You can also use Mineral Powder.

Tip #3: Heat up your Eyelash Curler. 

You should always curl your eyelashes before you put mascara on. It really opens up the eye and heating up the Eyelash Curler takes it one stage further.

Tip #4: When your finished, brush your Lashes through with old(but clean) mascara brush.

Brush them through to get rid of any clumps, you can also purchase on from any makeup supply store.
