Hey everyone! Hope you've been having a lovely time these last couple of days. I just thought I'd check in to show you how I wore my hair for Christmas. It definitely wasn't a planned style but I thought it came out surprisingly cute. I decided I wanted big hair for Christmas day, so I planned on wearing it out and curly. I thought about pincurling but I decided on using heat to create the curls because I wanted the style to last. There's less than a week before my 60 day bunning challenge begins and it's my...

I'm welcoming 2016 with open arms and I'm fully geared up to make this year the year for growing my hair longer than ever!

It's definitely working! My hairdresser commented straight away on how my hair has grown and picked up in thickness - I...

It was fun teasing you guys about what my new favourite product is, but Andrea from Lengthening Locks guessed it right - Luster's S Curl "No Drip"! Yes, I know it's been around for a while and there's a whole lotta hype about it online already, but this moisturiser has saved my hair for the last couple of weeks. It provides maximum moisture, helps with detangling and...

The bun - my new 'go-to' style? Hey all! In my last post I talked about going completely cold turkey on my heat tools. I washed and deep conditioned my hair as normal, air dried and skipped the straighteners. When my hair was dry, I prepared it for bed by moisturising and pin-curling as usual. I was eager to see how my hair would turn out as I usually pin-curl after flat ironing my hair. So the next morning I whipped off my scarf and excitedly undid my pin-curls one by one. And as I unrolled each curl...
