Inversion hair growth including pictures

Hey guys and dolls so I recently had may hair cut short because I had ruined my hair with heat styling and washing my hair everyday. So I was looking on youtube on how to grow my hair fast and ways to keep it healthy while doing so, and in between all of the usual youtube videos about using no heat etc I found this method which claims to grow hair by 1 inch in a week.

In order to do this you will need:
4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
Small bowl
Towel

Method:
1. Measure out 4 tablespoons of olive oil into the small bowl and microwave it for 30 seconds.
2. Then leave it to for 2 minutes roughly to let it cool down slightly.
3.Once it has cooled down slightly put the towel around your shoulders as this can get quite messy
4. Start to massage the olive oil into the roots of your hair and also through the lengths of your hair.
5. Once your whole head is covered, tip your hair upside down and leave it in this position for 4 minutes, if at any time your start to feel light headed or dizzy etc stop immediately.

These steps must me repeated over 7 consecutive days and supposedly it helps the blood flow to the scalp therefore helping with hair growth.

Here is a picture of my hair after being cut on the 02/09/2013:

( please excuse how I look with no make-up on)

  

From the picture above it is very clear that my hair has grown by quite a lot when measured my hair has grow one inch and a half. Eeeeek. I have to be honest I didn't actually think I would work so well. I highly recommend this hair growth method, I will re do this every month to help aid my hair growth.

If any of you have tried this before then please comment below and let me know if it worked for you.

How to do a fishtail braid

Hey dolls today I thought I would post about how to do a fish tail braid every time I do this hair style on myself I have a lot of comment and people asking how I did it. So I thought I would show you how to do.

1. Start by brushing all of the knots and tangles out of your hair.

2. Split your hair into two sections

3. Then take a small piece of hair from under the left section of hair

4. Bring that piece of hair over the top of the left section and add it to the right section

5. Now take a small piece of hair from the right section of hair

6. Now take that piece and take it over the right section off hair and add it to your left section.

7. Now to finish of the braid repeat steps 3 to 6

By the end it should look like this ^^

I hope this step by step guide helped

Thankyou for reading,

Provoke touch of silver twice a week brightening shampoo

Hey dolls sorry I haven't posted recently I ha no idea what to blog about for a while, until now. I recently to ombré my hair with bleached I love the effect it gave my hair however it left my hair will yellow and orange tones, I desperately wanted blonde ends so I decided to try out a purple shampoo which I had seen advertised recently. 

The consistency of the shampoo is really runny and quite messy. It lathers really well though to say it is not a creamy consistency. I left this shampoo in my hair for five minutes as advised on the packaging and then washed it out with warm water and then followed with my usual hair routine. 

Before:

After:

All in all I am quite impressed with my first impressions and it left my hair looking more blonde instead of being yellow. I will continue to use this product and to see if I notice any more difference. Although I would advise using a good conditioner or hair mask because it did leave my ends feeling dry. 

If you have tried this product please let me know what you thought,

L'oreal Paris Nude Magique CC Cream

Hey dolls I thouht today I would Review for you the L'oreal Paris Nude Magique CC Cream. This is a foundation which claims to neutralise redness for a perfect nude look. I have always been a fan of BB creams so I thought I would purchase this CC cream because I suffer from redness around my nose and cheek's. I was so excited about this product and I was let down so badly by it. The first thing I noticed about it was the colour which is green I found intriguing. this is because it has smart pigment capsules which then change colour when rubbed into the skin.

 Above - The CC Cream Before Rubbed into the skin

I purchased this foundation over a month ago and have since been trying to find a way to make it work for me, but I just can't find a way to make it work. For one the colour of it once rubbed into the skin is really bad it's almost orange which isn't a very unflattering natural skin colour.  

About - The CC cream rubbed into the back of my hand to see the colour difference.

This foundation doesn't come in any other skin shade's which make's it even worse.  I don't normally like to complain about a product but this is the one product I can't seem to understand. Why would they only make this product in one colour which is not even a fairly natural skin tone. It would look beautiful on a very tanned skin tone. But unfortunately I am very pale and therefore will be stickin to my trust worthy Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream.

Have you used this product and loved it?

Loreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil

Hey guys I recently went to visit my friend after a trip to town where I bought Loads of useless stuff except the L'oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil which I bought after using up all of my Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment. Although I loved this oil and it worked miracles on my hair I wanted to find something as good but for less money because it isn't a cheap product to buy. So when I went to visit my best friend Dani I realised her hair was wrecked in the past three months she has stripped her hair, bleached it twice, dyed it black then stripped it twice again and dyed it red, it's safe to say her hair was ruined. This was the perfect way to put this new product to the test.

Above - Before using L'oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil

The first thing we decided to do with Dani's hair was brush it which took forever and I couldn't help but notice load's of her hair was snapping at the end's and falling out. I then put 10-15 pumps of L'oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil in a microwavable container and popped it in the microwave for 20 second's and applied it liberally all over her hair paying special attention to her end's. After leaving it on for 15 minutes we decided to wash it out of her hair if you decided to do this make sure you shampoo twice to be sure all of the oil has been washed out. We then applied a conditioner and left it on her hair for 3 minutes before washing it out. I then applied one pump of L'oreal to her ends and left her hair to air dry.

Above - After using L'oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil

I think its safe to say this oil work's miracle's even I was in shock at how well it has worked. I expected it to work to a certain degree and maybe help it untangle and prevent some of the frizz but it did so much more than that it left Dani's hair soft, manageable, healthier and it even helped to get rid of some of the split end's.

Have you use this product? Let me know what you thought.

St.Moriz Fake Tan Mousse

Hey dolls, so yesterday was a huge step for me when it comes to all things beauty related because I fake tanned for the first time EVER. It was actually quite scary I know I probably sound pathetic but I couldn't bare the though of turning out orange, that would have been the worst thing to have possibly gone wrong. Not to mentioned I had been reading other blogs about how to apply fake tan and one said if you turn out orange then you have used a cheap fake tan, which made me panic even more as I had already put my tan on and it only cost me £2.99!

I decided to use St.Moriz to get rid of my fake tan virginity because for one it's cheap and if i decided I am not a fan of fake tan then I could give it away without thinking what a waste of money; Two I had heard fabulous reviews about it. So yesterday I exfoliated with my Soap & Glory Flake Away because if not the mousse would stick to my dry patches and then I would look like a brown version of Mr.Blobby. 

Left: Before tanning         Right:After tanning

I don't know about you but I was quite impressed with the result after using St.Moriz fake tan mousse, I never tan I always burn and I am very impressed with how natural this tan looks. I will defiantly be using fake tan more often now the only down side is the smell but for the result's I got I am sure I can find a way to cover it up. If you have ever used this product please comment below and tell about your experience using it.
