How To Maintain Curly Weave

There are two main reasons why curly hair becomes fuzzy.

. 1. Too Much Handling (touching, combing, brushing). Curls are delicate things and excessive styling is the fastest way to make them fall apart. Keep touching the hair to a minimum as much as possible, especially after washing so they'll spring back to their original form. If you're pressed for time and need to dry it fast use a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment. This way your curls won't frizz or flatten.

2. Lack Of Moisture Dryness is another major issue to frizzy curls. The shape of the curls will only form if they're bathed in the right amount of moisture and sealed with the right amount of "product". Use the right leave-in conditioners designed for curls (real or weave) and make sure that before you sleep at night you put a silk or satin scarf over your hair because the cotton pillow WILL have you looking like Buckwheat when you wake up in the morning.

Rihanna's New Makeup Line first product unveiled

After almost a year of waiting, the singer has finally revealed more deets about her highly anticipated beauty venture. On an Instagram account @fentybeautycosmetics that has since been deleted, Rihanna made an appearance in a video in which she expressed her excitement for the launch. The star has been working on a bold but pretty custom blend bronze glass mixed with a pink shimmer, which will go on sale at Sephora stores in 2017. But that’s not all she has up her sleeve. A representative for the brand tells PeopleStyle, “Fenty Beauty has officially partnered with James Vincent, who is leading the charge on their search for a Global Makeup Artist for Fenty Beauty.” Global Artist and Educator for Kendo Brands, Erik Soto,confirmed the search. He said "a special someone will have an exclusive first look at the entire Fenty Beauty line." That's right; the search is officially on for a Global Makeup Artist of Fenty Beauty and open interviews will start Friday, February 24, 2017 at Hotel Rivington in New York City. Open calls will also be held the following week in Dallas and L.A., and those who make it to the second phase will have an opportunity to apply makeup on Rihanna herself!

In an exclusive statement to Bustle, Fenty Beauty's PR team also confirmed the exciting news. "Fenty Beauty has officially partnered with James Vincent, who is leading the charge on their search for a Global Makeup Artist for Fenty Beauty. This is the only official information posted from the brand since the announcement of the launch in Spring of 2016." "Any other post and/or chatter are from fan pages that are enthusiastically awaiting the launch and are unofficial and conjecture about the launch. We are just as excited as the fans and promise the launch will be worth the wait. Stay tuned for Fall 2017." source: essence

8 Mistakes you are making WASHING YOUR FACE‼️

The Sad news is I have an overly sensitive skin (well, I thought I did) until I bumped into an article about “how to wash my face” but the good news is, I have found a solution to my constant face breakout and I’m sure these tips would be useful to all my beauties as well.

Apparently, there’s a right and a wrong way to wash your face. Many of our face-cleansing habits are actually causing as much harm as good to our skin, says dermatologist Dr. Debra Wattenberg.

It's true that some of these things are tips you've probably heard before -- but that still doesn’t mean you actually do them. Wattenberg, a Newyork Based Dermatologist identifies some common mistakes people make while washing their faces.

1.      Always wash your hands first before touching your face.

2.      Always take off your make-up first. I’m guilty of this because I believe my facial wash can do the job but I guess I’ll have to start doing it right.

3.      Applying too much cleanser will irritate your skin,” says Wattenberg, “You only need about a very little amount, and if you use more than that you’re just going to increase your risk for irritation.”

4.      You’re using the wrong cleanser. For some people, surfactants – the stuff in soap that causes the bubbles – can be too harsh on the skin, Wattenberg says.

5.      You’re scrubbing the cleanser on way too hard. Be nice to your face! “Some people are actually very abrasive toward their skin; it can cause irritation broken capillaries and it can cause inflammation in their skin when they scrub too hard,” Wattenberg says.

6.      You’re rubbing your face with a towel to dry off. Wattenberg says the ideal thing to do is pat your face dry instead.

7.      You're using a dirty towel. Using the same washcloth for more than a day or two can irritate your skin, she says. I suggest you get a separate face towel and wash every three (3) days to avoid irritation… (My predicament)

8.      You’re using way-too-hot or way-too-cold water. Dr. Wattenberg says “Extreme temperatures can damage your skin as well and create more inflammation and irritation.”

If you’re looking for a good facial wash, I recommend (Forever living Avocado face & Body soap, The Body shop cool and creamy wash and any other Body shop product that suitable for your skin type.)
