This is my review on the Freetress Equal unit "Gala". She is a 1b and is made of futura fiber meaning heat up to 400 degrees can be used on it. I paid for her with my OWN money. I purchased her from Hair Sisters for 19.99.  I'm in LOVE.

Make Up Monday - How To Clean Your Brushes

We wash our towels, wash clothes, undergarments, and clothes right? So why wouldn't you wash your make up brushes? Would you really want to put dirty brushes on a face you wash more than twice a day? Nope, this is just putting the dead skin, bacteria, oil, and old make up right back on. Surprisingly, this is a very important step that many people leave out. The make up left behind from previous applications also makes your brushes feel rough, old, and, hard. You'll find after you wash them, the softness returns!

Things you'll need

• A Sink, Bowl, or Glass
• Baby Shampoo or Wash
• Make up Brushes

Step 1
Gather all of your brushes, place them under the faucet, and rinse them off.







Step 2

Fill the sink, glass, or bowl up with lukewarm water and squirt some of the baby shampoo/ wash into the water. 

Step 3Squirt the baby shampoo/ wash into the palm of your hand and rub it on the tip of the brushes. Lather.










Step 4

Insert the brushes into the water and allow them to soak for 1-2 hours. ( You may soak them for less or more time, it's personal choice) 






Step 5
Take the brushes out of the water, and gently dab them on a paper towel. (Make sure the brush hairs are smoothed down the right way) Place the brushes on the paper towel and allow them to fully dry.

DONE, NOW ENJOY YOUR SOFT & CLEAN BRUSHES. 

HAPPY MAKE UP MONDAY!!!

How to get rid of bags and dark circles under your eyes

I've been asked a lot lately about remedies for bags and dark circles under the eye. First, let's take a look at what causes them.

CAUSES:

For some people, dark circles, come as part of a genetic package, while for others, these symptoms appear and fade in relation to everyday activities. The causes of dark circles and bags vary, but mostly they are due to blood vessel coloring in relation to skin pigmentation, under-eye fluid retention and age.

Main causes diets, sleep habits, fluid retention, aging, and medical conditions.

In case you don't know, these are what bags look like.

REMEDIES TO FIX THEM
Cold water is always good for bags and to minimize the look of enlarged pours.

1. EYE CREAM
Using an eye cream in the morning and at night will help treat dark circles. An eye cream with caffenine is ideal because it tightens your skin and it REDUCES bags. While applying the cream you're also able to press the bones in that area and drain the fluid that caused the bags to begin with. Olay has a cream out for this.

2.CUCUMBERS
Refrigerate a cucumber then, wash and slice it. Lay down with the slices on your eyes for 30 minutes with your feet elevated. Then rinse your eyes with COLD water.

3. POTATO SLICES
Raw potatoes have a high concentration of starch this helps it act as an inflammatory to reduce redness and swelling. They also contain acid which lightens skin so this is also good for those dark circles.
Refrigerate the potato for a while, after slice it and spray water on your eyes. Place the potato slices on your eyes and lay down with your feet elevated. Do this for 30 minutes then rinse with COLD water.

4. ICE COLD WATER
Put ice cubes in a bowl of water until the water is freezing. Dip your wash cloth in and lay it over your face. Repeat 3xs.

5.COLD SPOON 
Place two cold spoons in the freezer (or keep them there). After they're cold enough (1 hour). Take them out and place the round back of the spoon your eyes for four five minutes. You should notice a diffrence immediately.

6.WITCH HAZEL
Put some Witch Hazel on a cotton ball and pat under your eyes.


7.SLEEP
You'd be surprised at what a full nights sleep will do. Eight hours nothing less.

The LOWdown on MN (Miconazole Nitrate) PICS

(CHECK OUT MY SECOND MN UPDATE HERE)
MN is an abbreviation for Miconazole Nitrate. It is an ingredient commonly used in products such as Neosporin and Monistat. It kills germs and fungus. BUT, in the hair community we use this as an affordable growth aide. No, you did not read it wrong we use MONISTAT 7 the vaginal cream on our hair. It makes your hair grow because it removes fungus and germs on your scalp that is preventing hair from sprouting. It is very cheap if you get the generic brand, it works just as well as the original. I started off with the name brand kind but now I'm using a generic brand, I haven't noticed a difference. Alot of people say they've experienced headaches but if you mix your MN with other ingredients like sulfur 8, or a cream based moisturizer like, pink oil moisturizer and with an oil it should take care of this problem. I started using my mix on February 29th and I ran out after 30 (MARCH 30th) days. I started using it again on April 8th. I was applying it to my scalp every other night. Now, I'm applying it EVERY night. I use a 2% mix but it is also available in 4%.This post is really brief because I plan on doing a video very soon going into further detail, explaning how I apply it ,  as well as answering questions about the topic. Email me  your questions at whipmyyhair@gmail.com or comment below.Here are my results thus far.
