Hair tips for weave lovers

DSC01929CAPTION; My weave: ‘Sparkleberry’

I personally love weaves and i just recently opted for a long

straight human hair extension.I love them for the length and volume they add to my hair.Here are some tips on how to maintain your weave:

1) HAIR CARE

Try to wash your weave once every two weeks.Invest in a good quality shampoo and conditioner to make sure that no damage occurs.If you aren’t sure,ask a stylist to assist you.

2) HEAT DAMAGE

If you’ve opted for synthetic hair,its recommended that you do not flat iron or blow dry your hair.This could damage it or melt it.It is the cheaper option and can last as long as 2months,provided you take good care of it.Human hair on the other hand,may be blow dried, flat ironed or curled.This ofcourse is the more expensive option but definitely worth it.

3) THE COST

Synthetic hair can start from R300 to R600 while human hair well exceeds that starting from about R1000 ofcourse depending on the length of the weave.

4) NATURAL HAIR

Don’t forget that its also important to take care of your natural hair that’s braided.You can moisturise your scalp to keep it from being dry and flaky and this will also protect your hair from damage.

VERDICT

Always try to go for good quality weaves.It will last you longer and save you money in the long run.My favourite hair product right now is 'Sparkleberry”.They have quality hair extensions that are tangle free and so easy to manage and maintain.OTHERWISE…

HAPPY HAIR DAYS!

Lauren was out dressed in a black jacket,a stylish pair of leggings,a pair of aviators and a black wedge heel. Simple but stylish and she wore it well.Fashion is for anybody.You can always find something that works for YOU.

Durban-20121209-01179There she is here with an orange sheer top(you can wear another top underneath if you feel more comfortable as Lauren did) ,black leggings and a beautiful turquoise bag and beady necklace.I love how she played with colour here.Bright colours adds a little  something extra to your ensemble.Don’t be shy.

Music and Me


IMG01949-20121217-1913
Hip Hop has had a major influence on the fashion industry from as far as the 1980’s.From Adidas sneakers to Kangol bucket hats.
Over the years we’ve seen a lot of change in ‘hip hop fashion’.Women don’t have to dress like men to create that hip hop feel. Baggy pants and trucker boots?NO THANKS! A cute cropped T and high waist shorts can be paired with a fitted cap,high tops and big hoop earrings and there you have it!
When I’m dressed hip hop,I’m in my comfort zone <3 .These are some of my favourite hip hop inspired items(^^,)
