  • The Curly Girl Tag

    The Curly Girl Tag

    I have to say, I’m rather getting into this whole ‘video thing’. I’ve currently been trying to keep up with uploading one video per week to my YouTube channel, which is so far, so good (for the past 3 weeks at least) and hopefully this is set to continue.

    I love blogging but I feel YouTube is a good extension to the content I post here and I like how with videos, a little more of your personality is able to be shown.

    Anyway for this recent video I decided to do something a little different on my channel and do my first ever ‘tag’ video. It felt only right to start with the ‘Curly Girl Tag’ (for obvious reasons). As I often get asked questions about my hair, I thought it would be fun to answer these 10 questions in this tag…

    1. What inspired you to go natural or wear your hair curly?
    2. Who are your favourite curly hair idols?
    3. Which YouTube curly girl would you trade curls with for a day?
    4. If you could have only one product for a year, which product would you chose?
    5. If you could change one thing about your curls what would it be?
    6. What’s the craziest thing you’ve tried on your “natural hair journey”?
    7. What’s your secret ingredient that your curls LOVE the most?
    8. If you could merge two brands of products to make your perfect product, which two would it be?
    9. What is your go-to hair style when you’re in a rush?
    10. If your curly hair had a name, what would it be and why?

  • Simple Everyday Makeup

    Simple Everyday Makeup

    Although I do love to try out different makeup looks, some days I love nothing more than to keep it simple. Going light on the skin and subtle on the eyes can create a more natural looking makeup look, that’s great for day to day wear.

    I’d been meaning to do a makeup video tutorial for a while and so when I had a little extra time whilst getting ready last week, I decided to film this look.

  • My Braid Out Tutorial Video – Getting To Grips With YouTube

    My Braid Out Tutorial Video – Getting To Grips With YouTube

    This week I uploaded my fifth video onto YouTube. A few people had been requesting I do a braid out video, so I finally got round to doing that and for those of you who have watched it already, thanks for taking the time to do so and I hope you found it useful.

    I’m slowly getting to grips with the whole YouTube thing and I’ve really appreciated all the lovely comments and suggestions so far (which have of course prompted me to make this current video).

    I’d originally only planned on doing a one off video, after having requests for a video on my Wash and Go routine. But I guess there is no such thing as ‘just one video’ when it comes to YouTube, as I am now learning. I like to go with the flow with these things, so we’ll see if it becomes a regular occurrence or not and although I’ve not quite got the bug for it yet (like I do with blogging), I must say I have found it surprisingly enjoyable (aside from a few minor filming/editing frustrations).

    So anyway, here is my most recent video. It is aimed at people with curly to Afro hair but I actually have a friend with European/straight hair who uses the same technique (with no product, on damp hair). So some of you non Afro haired ladies out there could find it useful for creating waves or lose curls in your hair, heat free. My advise is, the less coarse your hair texture, the less product you’ll probably need to use… Anyway, check out the video and you’ll see. Plus if you’d like to see my step by step written braid out tutorial, you can check out this older post here.
