L'oreal does Afro Curly??!!!!!!

Wondering through the hair product aisle in Boots, I came across this new Curl Nourishment hair range from L'oreal Elvive.  What caught my eye about it even more was that the products stated they were for AFRO and CURLY hair textures...!! (Hold on....L'oreal are doing Afro hair stuff??) My thoughts exactly!

Once I popped my eyes back in to my head I also noticed that they were on special offer (saving on those coins too!!! whats going on??) So I picked up the Shampoo, Conditioner and Oil In Balm

A hair demonstration on these products are on my YouTube video below.

A few weeks after I remembered I hadn't  done a deep condition and remembered that this range came with a hair masque also, so quickly went online and got that ordered.

The masque left my hair feeling extremely soft and it was definitely well nourished. My curls were no longer looking tired and lifeless. It claims to have an amazing fragrance, but the smell of all these items are very very subtle, they do smell nice - just wish the scents were a bit stronger.

I will continue to use these on rotational basis along with my dozen other curly hair stuff...But the main thing about this particular post is that I am so glad that a major brand like L'oreal has finally included got some products that cater for ALL hair types.
As I mentioned in my video, not everyone has European textured hair! 

Thank you L'oreal for finally thinking of us Afro/Curly chicks....it took you like forever...but oh well.

#Friendsfest

I went to Friends Fest! :)

If your like me and watch Friends back to back on Comedy Central, know all the jokes and still laugh, say the funny lines before the actors do....and drive your boyfriend nuts by watching all the episodes on an ever so regular basis....then you should of been at Friends Fest!

I never even heard of this event until a few days ago, and as soon as I heard about it - the tickets were booked!

Me and my 'Friends' addict went off to Chiswick not knowing exactly what we were going in to. 

Like I had an idea of what was going to be there but my expectations were nothing compared to what was actually there.

So as the name of the event 'FriendsFest' suggests it was basically a festival mixed with an overdose of different  TV sets from the show.

There were food stalls, drink stalls and a large stage screening multiple episodes of Friends.

The 1st set we went to was Central Perk!  We got to play Phoebes guitar whilst singing along to Smelly Cat...yassssssssss huniiii

Then we went on be Rachel and Gunthur by serving coffee inside the coffee house.

I wont bore you with the details of each and every set (i'm sure you get the jist).  - I'll just  let the photos speak for themselves.

Tickets have actually sold out for this event as I write this post, but I have been told that this event is likely to come back round again, so as soon as I know I'll let you know. 

So many people have asked me about it...I could slyly see myself going again (is that bad??!lol) 

Anyway the pics speak for themselves.......#friendsfest!

"Please tell Joeeyyyyyyy Christmas will be snowwwwyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy"

Are Wigs still Taboo????

Ok, so back in the day....like way back, wigs were really frowned upon.  Like anyone admitting to wearing a wig was looked back at...like... really??.  But now in 2016 I thought we had moved on from that.

Take an incident at my work place for example.  So there's this girl that works on a different floor to me and I was catching up with her for a gossip en route to the stationery cupboard (oh the joy!). Anyway her hair was looking sooooo flyyyyyy.  Like she had an Ombre thing going on, you know the dark roots with honey blonde at the ends - I loved it! She had these large barrel curls floating through -  It was a good look trust me!

So I was like OMDZ I love your hair....what hair is it??? who did it?? etc...etc.......
She was like Sssshhhhhhh its a wig!

Now I was like rarrrrr thats a good wig...you need to tell me who made it and where you got it from sort of thing, but she was like telling me not to tell anyone (not that I would of) - she was proper scared...bless her!

I'm not sure if it was because we were at work or maybe shes new to wearing wigs or whatever but I thought the whole negative vibe associated with wearing wigs had long gone.  Like I obviously wouldn't expect anyone to run down the street shouting 'IT'S A WIG, IT'S A WIG! but I wouldn't think of wearing one to be in a negative light.

I have friends who happily tell me if their wearing a wig and vice versa.  I personally own several wigs and absolutely LOVE the fact that I can be a red head one day and blonde the next......I freaking love them!  They are also soooooo well made nowadays that you cant even tell (my prime example above) I've had wigs that people have mistaken for sew ins many a time.

They are a really good way of protecting your hair.  Sometimes its good to give your natural hair a break.  I try to switch up my natural hair game with a mixture of crochet braids, cainrows and of course - wigs!  The  added bonus and flexibility of wearing wigs, is the fact you can STILL take care of your natural hair underneath.....just whip that baby off and your all good :)

Its 2016 mayyyyynnnnn wigs are fuuuuuunnnnnnn!! :)


One thing though - they do come with their down sides.  They can damage your hairline if worn consistently so do switch it up now and again cause we NEED those edges girlllllssss LOL

What kills me as well is the wig names....LOL I have seen me a Beyonce, Kelly and Aaliyah wig to name a few.   My first wig was called Tammy (it states quick weave on the box, but its blatantly a wig lol)  Everyone thought that wig was a sew-in also.

Now each to their own at the end of the day, we all have our own insecurities about things so i'm not here trying to tell anyone what to wear or how to be......but! If you enjoy wearing wigs, like the idea of changing it up without damaging you hair then i'm all for it.

Don't feel no way.....and DON'T feel ashamed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PLEASE don't wear them in the bedroom either (if you know what i mean)  it ain't a good look...(trust me)......lol


Here are a few from my collection

Oh yh girl (I know your reading this) you still ain't told me who made your wig ....i'll remind you on our next lunch date.
