Curly Girl Method?

Before I started blogging or even stopped relaxing my hair I picked up Curly Girl: The Handbook by Lorraine Massey. I remember that I didn't even read the book. I just popped in the DVD that was included and thinking "this seems like it wouldn't work for me". Now a few years later after seeing this book mentioned countless times on YouTube I pulled it out and actually read it. The book is a guide to the Curly Girl Method (or C.G. Method) and it gives you the steps to obtain beautiful curls. The main points of the book are to stop using shampoo, silicone in hair products, combs, brushes, and flat irons. Now the part I am having a hard time with is the no silicones. After looking at the products I use quite a few of them contain some form of silicone. The book states that silicones coat the hair and don't allow moisture to get in, and that the only way to remove silicones are with shampoo which is a major no no because it is drying to the hair. I want to give the C.G. method a shot but I hate to stop using products that I love. I did however pick up the DevaCurl Hydration starter kit at Ulta, which is a line of products created by Lorriane Massey.  I will keep you posted on if I start the C.G. Method and if I like the DevaCurl products. XOXO!

Rodan + Fields REDEFINE and ACUTE CARE review

Image
I was sent  Rodan + Fields REDEFINE and ACUTE CARE  for review but all opinions are my own! I am in my 30's now so using anti-aging skin care is really important to me. I want to do whatever I can to prevent and treat wrinkles but I also suffer from hormonal breakouts, so finding a regimen to treat both can be tricky. I was interested in  Rodan + Fields REDEFINE and ACUTE CARE  products because they claimed to treat lines, pores, and the loss of firmness. This skin care kit is a 3 step system that is simple, and here are my thoughts. Step 1- Daily Cleansing Mask This cleanser took a little bit for me to get used to because it is a thick, non-foaming cleanser that is more like a mask than cleanser (hence the name). It can be used day and night, but I would remove your makeup completely before you use this cleanser. I honestly think this cleanser was what cleared up my skin.
