    Maintaining My Hair With Hairdreams…

    ICYMI – for years now I’ve been wearing Hairdreams hair extensions to achieve my ‘dream hair’ (hehe) of long length and thick volume since my natural hair is pretty short and fine, not able to hold a decent style for more than an hour. I forever struggled with wanting that gorgeous Victoria’s Secret looking hair full of voluminous curls looking ready for anything, so that is why over the years I’ve been thrilled to use Hairdreams to give me the hair I’ve always longed for.

    To some, hair is hair, to me it’s everything…it makes me feel confident, beautiful, happy…it makes me feel like me! Even if I don’t do my makeup and just walk out the door with a messy bun of my thick extensions or leave my hair naturally wavy, I instantly feel good which in turn puts me in a happy mood. This may sound silly, but hey, everyone has something that makes themselves feel confident; and for me it happens to be my Hairdreams hair.

    So how did I manage to still have great hair days even while in lockdown in California for about a year now? Well, again, Hairdreams is to thank. Something I’ll never forget is my grandma in NY texting me about 3 months into lockdown restrictions, asking what I’m doing about not being able to get my hair done etc (she was struggling as well with not having someone to style her hair which also is something that makes her feel good). My response surprised her as it does for many others…I wasn’t worried about getting my hair done because thanks to Hairdreams I only ever get my hair done twice a year.

    Yup, you heard me right…these long locks last me about 6 months, and I have been able to stick to this cadence for the last few years now. Everyone seems so surprised to hear this, but unlike a lot of other extensions, Hairdreams are top-tier quality and with the right maintenance and care, it can last you a very long time. My stylist uses the Laserbeamer Nano to apply my extensions and I barely even have to come in for maintenance.

    So while everyone was feeling stir crazy needing a trim or color etc, my Hairdreams lasted me the first 6 months of quarantine and when California opened up for a short time in the summer I was able to swap out my extensions which I’ve been wearing ever since, even during the latest round of lockdowns.

    While how my hair looks is far from a top priority during the pandemic, it’s something that gives me a little bit of confidence and happiness while sitting at home social-distancing. It feels nice to look in the mirror and feel like myself even when the world around us feels so out of control. 

    Hairdreams helps make my everyday beauty routine easy. Instant, perfect hair each and every day without constant salon maintenance is something that has been extremely handy this past year. While the future is uncertain when it comes to an end to this pandemic, the one thing that I can be certain of is that my Hairdreams hair will last me while waiting for the time it’s safe for salons to reopen again.

    Laced Hair Extensions Review + Tutorial…

    Happy Friday Ya’ll!

    I am BEYOND excited about today’s post because it features my first ever video from my YouTube channel. I have been wanting to create fun video content for a while now + finally took the plunge. This may be a short one but plenty more exciting ones to come!

    ICYMI I have been OBSESSED with Keratin Hair Extensions for over a year now. My hair stylist got me hooked a year ago + I couldn’t imagine life without them ever since. A little back story, I have naturally fine, straight hair…making it nearly impossible for my hair to hold a curl even with a full can of extra hold hairspray (no joke :p it is that bad). Hair extensions have been my saving grace, allowing me to have my hair finally hold a curl + look flawless for events, outfit shoots + beyond.

    Now not all hair extensions are created equal. I first dabbled with clip ins a while back + honestly I couldn’t handle them haha I had the toughest time putting them in (after countless attempts) + they gave me headaches + hurt my scalp. After complaining to my stylist of how uncoordinated I was when it came to using clip ins, she suggested I try the ‘Bentley‘ of hair extensions as she put it, Keratin Hair Extensions. I mean if she compared them to a Bentley she had me in – hook, line + sinker!

    Clip ins are great for those who are beauty savvy in my opinion + like to constantly switch up their look. I was looking for a permanent solution to my fine hair + keratin extensions provided that.

    It’s important to find a great stylist with experience installing these kinds of extensions. They must match your color so they look as natural as possible + also cut and style them to fit with your hair. Your stylist will also place them strategically so they are hidden as much as possible to keep them looking natural. I often have people not even notice I have them.

    The process itself is pain free + easy. Your stylist uses a tool to melt the bond around your hair + over time the bond deteriorates from wash and daily wear so it falls out after 4-6 months. The duration the extensions last is dependent on how you take care of them + how fast your hair grows out. Mine typically last 5-6 months sometimes longer if I only wash my hair 3-4 times a week + brush my hair often to avoid knots + tangles.

    I personally love Laced Hair because the hair is great quality + the bond melts nicely making them flush with my hair. They also are available in a ton of colors to match your natural hair color.

    The keratin extensions allow for everyday wear + are low maintenance since they only need to be replaced 3-4 times a year. They can be pricey dependent on your stylist so just be prepared to invest a bit. I always say invest in your hair, it’s the crown you wear daily hehe :p

    Irresistible Me Hair Extensions

    How does that famous saying go? Long Hair, Don’t Care…well that is my new motto thanks to my newest obsession – clip in hair extensions from Irresistible Me Hair! I have been wanting to try hair extensions for years (even when I was working at a hair salon for years while I was in college – although at that point I was considering permanent extensions till every hair dresser told me not to do it due to the damage it causes your hair)…well one major perk that I was excited about when trying out these new human hair clip in extensions? The fact that they give me the volume + length I want without damaging my natural hair!!! Now that is a major win in my book 😉

    I figured there was no better time to test out these clip in beauties than for my birthday shoot. I have to admit, I wasn’t the savviest when it came to how exactly to use these bad boys haha Luckily I was in Palm Springs for the weekend with my best gal pal who often uses clip in extensions so she gave me the 101 on how to map out my head, prep to use them, how to clip them in and how to care for them…who knew there was so many little tips that help make the use of clip in extensions even better? :p

    When it came to choosing my color and the package I wanted to get, I watched this really helpful video. It explained how to match the clip in extensions to your own hair color and also how to achieve the look you want with different length + weight options. I went for the package that was 20 inches in length and weighed 200 grams to add thickness + length for me since I tend to have really thin hair that can’t hold a curl…with these extensions they hold the curl so even if my own curls drop a bit, these last all day long (and all shoot long for my outfit shoot days haha)

    The best part is the pieces are easy to clip in and out of your hair so they don’t show…that was always my biggest fear but no worries here. It’s all about finding the balance of how many pieces to use, the size of them + where they should be placed so they are undetectable 😉

    Happy Fri – Y A Y ♥ I have a little secret…I LOVE having curly, Victoria’s Secret style hair. The soft waves, perfectly show off highlights + add a feminine touch to any look…I just love having my hair done BUT since I am a baller on a budget hehe I have learned over the years how to curl my hair myself! Normally I like to curl my hair twice a week because with the miracle that is dry shampoo, my curls can last more than a mere fews hours…now they can last a few days!

    So I teamed up with my newest haircare brand obsession, Dove to show how I curl my hair!

I usually wash my hair the night before I plan on curling it, letting my hair air dry to add a little extra texture (I have super fine hair and don’t wear extensions so I need all the volume I can get).

    2. Then when I wake up in the morning I brush out any knots or tangles with the Wet Brush. I LOVE this brush because the bristles are soft + it doesn’t tug or pull out my hair.

    3. After brushing my hair I add PLENTY of Dry Shampoo (the more the merrier because it adds texture). I have become obsessed with Dove’s Dry Shampoo’s because they smell AMAZING

    4. I separate my hair into 1 inch – 1 1/2 inch sections so it is easier to curl and then I curl away!

    5. I have become a fan of Dove Flexible Hairspray now too because it is light, has great hold + doesn’t give my hair that crunchy feeling I hate from other hairsprays lol :p
