Hey, Dolls and Gents

Today, I am bringing you my first hair review. I have never done this before on my blog. I got some bundles of hair from Aliexpress to make a new unit for myself. If you would like to know more then keep on reading and watching.


ORDER AND DELIVERY

I ordered the hair on March 30, 2019. I order from a vendor called Alot Hair and Beauty. I purchased a 14 inch frontal + 16 + 18 + 20. Well, I was purchasing this hair, Aliexpress was having a sale going on. I paid under $100 for a frontal and three bundles. I paid $82.67. The hair was delivered by  April 8, 2019. It took about a week to get here, which is not too bad coming from China to Toronto.

PROS

  • soft 
  • no to little shedding - on the longest length 
  • seems to true to length 
  • manageable 
  • seems to be full from root to tip 
  • frontal seemed pre-plucked 

CONS

  • smell - had to leave it in conditioner for hours to get of smell 
  • lace frontal seems not to be full enough

PERUVIAN HAIR FRONTAL AND BUNDLES (THE ONE I PURCHASED)

The rest of my thoughts on the bundles and frontal are in the video down below. 



UPDATE 

I have been wearing the wig for the last three months. Here is my updated review down below. 



Please don't forget to comment, share and follow my channel and blog. See you in my next one.

Hi Dolls and Gents, 

In today's post, I am going to be talking about my new hair do. You have noticed that my hair looks really different. I decided to step out of my comfort zone and try something different.

The hair that I currently have in is crochet braids using the Urban Soft Dread from Freetress Equal. I usually always go for black or off black when I do my hair because I like to play it safe and it is easier for me. But, I wanted to do something bold and different, so I did this.

I needed a quick hairstyle to hold me over until September because my cousin's wedding is coming up and I didn't want to pay twice for my hair, so I decided that crotchet braids would be easier and cheaper for me to do.


HAIR SPECS 


The hair that I used to get this look is the Freetress Equal Urban Soft Dread in 99J. 
  • Light and Soft Touch
  • Easy to grab and dread
  • Non-flammable
  • Superior dread longevity 
  • Odor Resistant 
  • Unravel Resistant
  • No True Length
  • Can be worn in two styles: Dreads or Tight Curls 

CROTCHET BRAIDS PROCESS 

Finished Look with Snapchat filter

I braided my hair into cornrows. I braided about six to eight braids in the front with a side part and connected all to four big braids at the back of my head. I used 4 pack of hair and because I  was unravelling it I  knew that the curly hair would cover and I did not need to fill it up. It took about 2-3 hours to do. It took me a while to start and braid my hair in cornrows. My braids are not the neatest braids. After I finished installing the hair, I started to un ravel each dread to get the look I wanted. 

MAINTAINING THE HAIR 

I never do curly hair because I know I suck at maintaining it. For this hair do, I do use a water and conditioner. I use them both to untangled, separated, and add moisture to the hair because it starts to look dull. That is about it.

WILL I DO THIS STYLE AGAIN?

Yes, I would do this style again. The only thing I would do it get someone to braid my cornrows for me, so it will last a bit longer. 

I  hope you enjoyed this quick mini review on the hair that I currently have. I hope you learned something. If you like to me to do more hair review, please comment down below, share and follow the blog.

Hi Dolls and Gents,

Today, I am bringing you a quick review on the Conair InfinitiPRO Diamond Brillance Shine System Ionic Straightening Brush. The Conair PR team reached out to try out two products of my choice. I chose this brush as well as a titanium straightener, which that review will be coming soon. Any products sent by a PR team to me, I make sure I am completely honest in my review or collaborations

This is the first ever straightening brush I have ever tried. I saw and I was like I need to try it out. This is the first time I have ever used this type of tool on my relaxed hair and I was kind of skeptical that it would actually work properly for me. To me, it seems to be marketed told women with sleek, curly, wavy or whatever hair type. It's definitely not marketed toward women of colour hair types.

I am the person who does not have a pattern to straightening my hair. I just start and I make sure I get every hair, but I don't part it or anything. Sometimes, it may take me a little longer if I don't have a good quality hair straightener.

Before I start to share my thoughts on this products, let me give a quick run down about the Conair Infiniti Pro Ionic Straightening Brush.

Quick Run Down on Conair Infiniti Pro

Conair Infiniti Pro

The plates are designed like a paddle brush to provide more contact with your hair for faster styling. The part that heats up is the diamond-infused ceramic that leaves your hair shiny, straight, and smooth. This brush also features ceramically coated bristles to protect your hair, nylon bristles to guide styler through hair for silky, smooth results and heat activated silicone bristles for advance control and shine. The combination of the nylon, silicone try and diamond ceramic bristles is to gently guide through hair for silky results and added shine. With all that, there is an ionic generator that creates negative ions that neutralizer the natural positive ion in the air, making your hair less frizzy by flattening and sealing the hair cuticle. It comes with three heat settings.

Now, to my thoughts on this product.

My Thoughts and Results

Okay, so the first thing that I have to point out is that this tool is so easy to use. I was shocked as to how easy it was. The directions to this were straightforward and easier to understand. Well, using it the brush I heard a lot of crackling, which freaked me out. After reading the directions I realized is was the generator that was making the crackling sound when it is turned on. I really like this brush for days where I don't have time to use a regular straightener. It really did straighten my hair really well. I tried this on my natural hair after I have relaxed my hair post about a week or two before. It went through my hair so nicely, which out tugging on my hair and it did add shine to my hair. I also saw that my hair straighten no matter the position of the brush. It allowed to go through my entire half of my hair without break it down into parts. it took me about 10 minutes or less to straighten my hair, no joke I was surprised that I finished so quickly. I would definitely recommend everyone trying this out. It is easy, fuss-free, straight forward product that anyone can use.

The Ionic Straightening Brush cost $69.97 at Walmart or any other retailer such as Shoppers Drug Mart, Bed Bath and Beyond and Amazon.

I hope you enjoyed this quick review on the Conair Ionic Straightening Brush and if you try it out or you have it, share your thoughts on it below. I will see you guys in the next post.
