This is me, Charismaallover, a day before my birthday! ( Fashion pictures)

This is me a day before my birthday on November 23, 2013. I was eating a taco and two tostadas for dinner.
Then, the restaurant crew came and let me borrow the sombrero. They made me dessert and sung happy
birthday to me. This was at a mexican restaurant.  Yes, I was sitting there in style. It was a nice surprise.
My real birthday is November 24,2013.

The Marvelous 6 techniques for deep conditioning natural hair!

(Photo from bing.com)

Deep conditioning! Let it echo in your mind if you will. I love deep conditioning.  I notice when the hairstylist deep conditions
my hair, which has trouble smoothing out, it comes out smooth
and refreshed. Then I feel refreshed. My heart would just like to dance in the glory of my freshly styled hair.

Anyways, deep conditioning takes a truly essential role in the survival of coily hair. Coily hair NEEDS rich moisture since it is the most likely to be dry. Due to the fact that the circumference of coily hair is smaller than curly hair, the sebum of the scalp takes longer to go down the hair shaft. Therefore, since sebum takes a long time to get from roots to ends, you need to prevent dryness and breakage. Deep conditioners are full of proteins, lubricants, and oils to help your hair maintain elasticity, prevent breakage, and give hair back its strength. Now, for the 6 top tips for deep condtioning and washing your hair.

– Use an all natural conditioner Deep conditioning is used to rejuvenate your hair since it’s been
under pressure from manipulation and weather elements. Seek
a deep conditioner that doesn’t have non-suluble silicones, non-permeable oils, and drying alcohols. This will give your hair the opportunity to take in more nutrients and lower the chances of getting product build up. Natural conditoners are the best way to avoid decreasing your strand’s absorption capacity.

– Behentrimonium chloride This is a cationic surfactant that gives your hair that slip while you detangle. Coily hair typically interwine, but moreso when activated
with water. Slip is needed. Behentrimonium chloride gives your
hair that slip that is just as helpful as silicones without the product
build-up.

– Penetrating oils Avocado oil, coconut oil, and olive oil are three oils that
penetrate the hair shaft and get to the cortex. Oils help to slow
down the rate at which moisture is loss from the hair.

-Hyrdolized proteinsThese proteins are proteings that have been set up to seap into the cuticle and fill in the cortex.  They help hair bounce back from weare and tear. It replaces protein that get lost in manipulation. CurlyNikki’s Finding Your Perfect Deep Condtioner-THe Ultimate Guide is a wonderful reference to a collection of hydrolized proteins and more information.

-Use heat Deep conditioning with a processing cap under a hooded dryer is ideal.  It would be best to stay under the dryer for at least 15 minutes. It takes longer to absorb the conditioners nutrients without confined heat? Again, that’s why my hair comes out refreshed when
deep conditioned.The heat expands the hair shaft and gives the conditioner more availability to seap through. In addition to that, it helps certain ingredients bond to the cuticle.

-Cool water It helps to rinse your hair with cool water after deep conditioning. This step helps to close the culture. Rinsing with warm water re-opens the hair shaft and lose nutrients you just put into your hair. If you find a time where moisturizing and sealing don’t work and your hair keeps laughing at your co-wash conditonder, it is now time to deep condition. The body needs water to be hydrated. Product build up and synthetic ingredients are not the best way to hydrate.

Well I certainly enjoyed the read. I can’t wait to try these methods because it’s been a long journey and I want some  extra special results.

The 4 types of curls you can get with curling irons!

What’s better than curls to get your hair attention? In
my opinion, curls top all hairstyles. Curls go straight
to number one and keep the number one spot.Do you curl
your own hair? Do you have a professional do it? It’s
all up to your capabilities and wants! Curls get me in the
mood to dance and dress up. It doesn’t have to be a
special occasion for me to get my hair done. I want my
hair done all day everyday like people want money!

Well, enough about that.Did you think about the
many ways you can curl your hair with a curling
iron? They got something for everyone.
Are you the type that likes big waves, slight
waves, big curls, or tight curls? Curling
irons can achieve all of this.

For big waves:

Use a curling iron that is 2 inches in diameter. This
will give you large loose waves in longer hair. This
will smooth short hair though. Wrap big sections
around iron to smooth. Wrap small sections of hair
to create waves.

For Slight waves:

A curling iron that is 1 and a half inches in diameter
will create beautiful soft waves. And here’s a tip:
Curl small sections of hair with the curling iron,
then clip your hair to your heaad. When cool,
release pins and glide your fingers through the hair.

For big curls,

The size used to create large curls is about 3 quarters
to one inch in diameter. Here’s another tip: Spritz
small sections with mousse, then wrap them around iron
and hold for five seconds. Release curling iron,
then let it cool. Use your fingers to separate curls.

For tight curls,

Use a 3/8ths curling iron. They give a ringlet effect. A tip
with this is to wrap small sections from ends to roots in a
spiral. Hold it for five seconds. Release curl, then let cool
..spritz with hairspray. Do not touch!

In summary of the distinctive ways to curl hair, here is one of
my quotes:

“A woman’s hair is like her jewelry-prized and made for a pictorial”.

My opinion on this:

I vote for the tight curls. I want definition in my curls. I want
something that is obvious across the room, those kind of curls.
I desire an assortment of curly hairstyles. I won’t limit myself
to just one hairstyle. I deserve to be pampered so I will cosset.
If you know learn anything about me, know that I’m adamant about
getting my hair done.

6 steps to long lasting curls!

Curly hair suits my personality, girly! I want my curls whether they

advice from a professional about the heat that goes on your hair.
I want you to keep your hair looking super fantastic and at the
same time maintain your length. If you can do that, you get the
gold! Have a pleasant day and have fun with your hair!

A few ways hot rollers make curls last!

What’s one of the most annoying things about hair? Well, besides
breakage, it’s when the curls come out.I really don’t love braids
as much as I love curls. I’m a curl addict, heavily dependent
on curls for a style. Curls are mature looking and so pretty.
Curls give the hair its design and profluency. So instead of losing the curls in one day,two days, or even three days, we need something that will last. I had a hairstylist that said she could
make my curls last a week, even two weeks. She has proven herself to me.

Hot rollers give your hair instant curls
that you love. Here’s how:

• Do take inventory of your hot roller set. Observe the various sizes of the rollers and how many of each size you have.

• Realize that smaller rollers hold a small amount of
hair. They will also give a tighter curl. The larger the
roller, the looser the curls.

• The longer the hot rollers are left in the hair,
the better the curl will be.

• Test a curl after two minutes. Take out one of
the rollers and see if the curl is as desirable as you’d
like. If you want your curls to be tighter, replace the
roller nd test again in another minute.

• Before you remove the rollers, lightly spray
hairspray over them and then carefully remove the
rollers. Remove each roller, one at a time. Let it
release into a ringlet form instead of the haphaz-
ardly way. The light spray over the hair helps the
curls stay in longer. Use you fingers to comb and
blend the curls.

• Spray the last application of hairspray.

I’m just saying, life is alot better when you can lie down and
wake up to curls. Curls are perky and very attractive. They
give dull hair that undeniable spice and volume. Let’s go get
some curls. If we can curl our own hair and make it last
great! Otherwise, find a professional to get your hair to
it’s highest potential! Won’t that be fun?

Makeup tips for multiple occasions at your convenience!

Make-up, how many ways can I create designs up on my face? Does
anyone really know? I love makeup but there are times when I
am just all natural.

Makeup as we know can give us a fresh and new look, something
that’s a la mode. So that’s why we love it. It’s beauty
centred or rather, the beauty dome.

I personally don’t put on all types of makeup. I put the eyeliner
and then the red lipstick. I make sure the lipstick is the
right gradient of red. It must not look clownish or I’ll ditch
it. When I shop for lipstick, I tend to look for a shade of
red like dark cherry red. That suits me. That suits black
women in general I think.

Forget the blues, and oranges. I”m not going to get an
award for clowning.

Anyways, here are some make up tips, you the reader might
find interesting! Here I am catering to your needs!

Quick Makeup Fix

1. Use a one medium bright base color.

2. Apply a base shade completely on the mobile lid.

3. Then add more in the crease and blend it upward,
halfway to the eyebrows.

4. If you choose, you can add a thin line under the
bottom lashes.

Polished Look:

1. Use a two color coordinated eyeshadows in light
and dark shades.

2. Put the dark eyeshadow on the outer corner of
the eye in a horizontal V shape.

3. Apply more eyeshadow in the crease.

4. Use the light eyeshadow to highlight the inner
corner of the eye, specifically under the eyebrows
and right above the iris.

Sophisicated Lady:

1. You can use up to four colors of eyeshadow.

2. Put the base color on the eyelid, in the upper
area. Don’t bring it close to the nose or all
the way up the eyebrows.

3. Take contour and put it on the lashes and in
the crease. Put on more color on the corner
of your eyes, making sure to connect the lines
along the lashes and in the crease too.

4- Curl formers- See how popular curls have become? Now they have these curl formers. The hook on these things help work your curls into spirals. Curl formers are there to give you a looser spiral than what strawllers give.

5.Pin curls- I have yet to try these curls. I got my hair relaxed with the multiple moisturizers built into it. I got the gel and the hair lotion. Soon, I will try these pin curls.These curls is easy and comfortable.
That’s an unbreakable bond. You can even go out of the house without taking them out.

6. Bantu knot outs- They are similar to pin curls. Therefore if you like you can wear them just the way they are. Another option you have is to unravel them. The smaller the areas
of hair are sectioned into, the more obvious they will be. They will be obvious though like
in your face obvious.

7- Braid-Twist outs- Try this. Section off your hair into several braids or even twists. The more you have, the fuller it will look.
Take them out and play with the curls to give your hair some action. Okay, ready to style? Get moving.

Pin curls will do you well- their lasting and beautiful!

Count the ways that people can curl their hair. What do you think? Got the answer? Pin curls are exciting like your favorite singer coming to
town. Pin curls give you those tight curls you’ve always wanted.
If you have long hair, your hair will be loopy in the pin curls.
Alot of black women use pin curls to get away from the damaging
heat. It’s also great for getting rid of frizz and keeping the curls
in control.

Get the tools out:

Moisturizing Shampoo
absorbent towel
Leave-in conditioner
frizz buster
Wide-tooth comb
Hair wax
Metal hair clips

Wash your hair with the moisturizing shampoo for Black women’s hair,
or suitable to your hair needs if another race.

Rinse your hair.

Towel dry your hair with a large, absorbent towel.
Wrap your head with a towel and pat the hair dry, and
don’t rub it vigorous rubbing, which causes frizzing.

Squeeze a quarter sized amount of leave-in conditioner
and frizz buster into the hand.

Rub your hands together and combine these elements
together.

Let your hair dry without heating equipment. This will
leave the hair wet enough to hold a curl, but not too
wet.

Take a section of hair about 1/2 inch in diameter
to wrap a curl. If you use a large amount of hair,
the curl will be larger and more wavy instead of
the curly you probably wanted. If you have
thin hair, the width of the curl will be smaller.

Put on a tiny amount of hair wax, approximately 1/2
the size of a dime, close to the root of the hair
and comb it through.

Wind the hair around a finger, being sure to tuck
the ends in, so they come out straight.

Push the curl off your finger and use the metal
hair clip to make the hair stay close to the head.

Take a section of your hair and do the pin curls
around your head. The curls should be of a
uniform shape and in a row. Do some counterclockwise
and clockwise.

Let your hair dry naturally.

Remove the pins on each curl and allow the
curls to hang naturally.

Finger comb you hair to divide into smaller
curls..

Pin curls are A plus rated. I want that to be my signature
hairstyle and keep it as a tradition. Pin curls are so
in style, they never go out of style. They command
attention, are so easily noticeable, and stand with
such pride like a cadet or real life human who is
sure themself. Doing hair is fun when the results
come out crossing all t’s and dotting i’s.

Pin curls are like the crown to the head. It’s
the topping like the pepperoni on pizza, the
swirl in an ice cream, the dots on the dominoes
that you play with. Go out and pay your hard
earned money on pin curls if you like, or
find someone who can do them for free or
low price. You’ll be full of smiles when you
get them.Thanks folks!
